We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule



Nice after/before there

EDIT:

Trying to find a somewhat decent Trenchcoat for a Rorschach (from Watchmen) costume. I have sorted the colour changing face mask with some thermochromic powder but I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to the coat.

This is spot on except my above mentioned cheapness:

I had a tshirt with AOC as Che made for a friend for christmas...



...drat sure she'd like a Lovejoy Division. Sorry, there won't be a selfie, but for Melbourne Goons I can highly recommend Threadheads in Moorabin. It was $30 for a one-off print. The print came out perfectly, printed on a red t-shirt, and unlike any I'd found online they only printed the image, not the background, so you didn't get a red square on the red shirt.

I feel like you have a decent chance of finding a trenchcoat like that at a charity shop/thrift store/etc., actually. From the neck down Rorsach pretty much looks like my dad did every rainy day in the 90s.

I actually did find a really good one locally for $65 late this arvo. It's worth $240 new and in perfect condition. The worst thing is having to buy a trilby/fedora and somehow associate with THAT stereotype.

Two of my pending packages just departed the Hong Kong airport. That's reassuring! (For Hong Kong, mostly. Not so much for my cheapshit pins.)

I ordered a knockoff BLTouch and a poorly designed 32-bit control board about a week ago from AE, fully expecting it to take months to get here. But I checked the tracking page today:




Much sooner than I thought! :woop:

That means poo poo. I've had packages "arrived at destination country" for a month before I actually got them. The seller said that tracking is not always "precise".

In my experience the tracking is reasonably accurate especially once it gets to the country of destination. But that definitely depends on the carrier. The last package was with GLS, it took about a week for anything to show up, then it landed in Belgium and was delivered in like 3 days.

Depending on your definition of precision.

It could be extremely precise, on an interstellar scale.

I have a whole-rear end cat castle coming today! They actually sent it through SEUR which is more or less a proper shipping company. I've gotten two other Ali packages through DHL this week, too. Stepping up their game a bit in Europe, it seems.
