My wife is a children's librarian so I am here for these acrylic earrings. They're pretty big and adorable and look good without being heavy to wear at ALL. Since I've now maxed out my life with a total of 3 pins I can live vicariously though her. Look at these mummies! $0.88 shipped, they have loads and loads of them - right now in my cart I have kitties with little witch hats, hedgehogs, sloths and a bunch of others.  edit: my wife, though actually just an aliexpress sex doll, is not the sex doll in the screenshot.

Gambit from the X-Men posted:Link. Link? The maker is Weveni and they have a storefront: https://weveni.aliexpress.com/store/1552294?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000061.1.13211c6dJ7uHj5 the whole store is cool but the acrylic earrings are under Products > Acrylic Jewelry > Earrings Like honestly I've never seen a store on Ali that actually as a brand is worth following, but pretty much all their stuff is at least neat. I live in new england so I'm a sucker for all the crab/lobster poo poo too. Great gifts for the family.

tfw your Ali browsing has been less fun than usual https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33018944505.html   (I actually found a few things that me 20 years ago would have loved but I don't think I could get away with now)

Is it worth requesting a refund if stuff is even lower quality than expected? I ordered a few knockoff utilikeys, figuring at least one of them would be okay, but none were. If it's usually a lot of bullshit, I'll just eat the 5 bucks and just replace my existing one with a legit one or a different tool.

I ordered this pig purse:  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32978747818.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5cd34c4dkouxDa It came quickly. It needed to be reshaped a little after arriving, but was in good shape. bad posts ahead!!! posted:cow-shaped footstool I ended up buying the pig version of this, from Amazon though as it was cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BRN5CBV Thanks for the inspiration. Yes, my house is now like 95% pigs.

Hirayuki posted:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000108415179.html Yeah I had to stop my Ali buying a couple months ago since I was moving and shipping is a guessing game. Had to get it from Amazon because I wanted it quickly so all my pins would be in one place before packing. But I'm all moved in now and ready to confuse the new mailman with all the tiny little packages.

Anyone had a positive experience with a cheap dashcam? I live in a particularly stupid part of the country, so having video of the idiots in front of me sounds like fun. Don’t really care about getting super quality footage from a legal aspect, just a ‘can you believe this dumbass’ poo poo to send to friends back home. Naturally I won’t bundle with an SD card from the vendor and will just get one from best buy. Only care about the front view. Microphone quality just needs to capture my Tarantino levels of swearing. Most of the reviews I see on Ali are Russians in broken English saying the device arrived in one piece but they’ve not actually used it, which is to be expected.

Don’t really care about getting super quality footage from a legal aspect, just a ‘can you believe this dumbass’ poo poo to send to friends back home. I think we're at the stage where pretty much anything other than bottom of the barrel is going to give good quality 1080p in daylight, so go hog wild. You might find that the bundled SD card is cheaper than the Best Buy option and who cares if it is a quality one or not - it's for fun, so save the cash. A lot of Ali stuff appears on Amazon, so you can check out English reviews there. Just be aware they make knock-offs of everything, so check the brand/model name carefully.

If you can stand it, look over at /r/dashcam. There's a side bar with various recommendations. Also get an SD card rated for dashcams, the constants writes to the card ruin regular SD cards in about 6 months.

Just FYI, we have a dashcam thread of its very own: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3597215 and if you're planning to spend more than $20 on a camera, take a look at Techmoan http://www.techmoan.com/guide-to-dashcams/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ0Tm9FFpKM Just be aware that his videos are quite old, so a lot of stuff that was cutting edge and expensive is now cheap. S.Florida is hot, isn't it? You might want to consider something that can run on a capacitor rather than a battery as the heat can kills batteries. E: YI Dashcam from Amazon for $50 https://www.amazon.com/YI-1080P60-Dashboard-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B01C89GCHU/ Very good brand and you get Amazon delivery and service, inc warranty.

You will miss having a full board if you chat etc. Don't do it. Get a regular full or Numpadless board. For the last decade I've sworn by the $10 Jaycar boards (if in Australia) - I have a stockpile cos I'd just get one to fill minimum store order for my discounts. Now I dabbled into Mechanicals and a Kogan RGB Brown Switch Board is my choice (was only $40). The RGB controls are a bit dicky to the point where I thought it was broken and got a free replacement. Guess my rack server has a nice rainbow RGB mechanical board too now!

Humphreys posted:Wow, ok I gotta get some settings/info of my mate with the same photon for you. Those aren't 'great' for that printer, but still pretty cool. How loving annoying is the post print processing? Not too bad. I set up a station by getting a large closable plastic tub. Inside I put in two small containers of methylated spirits, swish clean in one, then into the other, brushing with a paintbrush and jiggling it. Let it dry off, then it it with a uv light. I had a spare reptile uv lamp so I use that. The sun can also do. Its a tradeoff honestly. For a FDM printer all the annoyance is loaded in the before a print will be ready, with making sure every single part works and keeping your filament dry and all your feeds clear, bed levelled, etc. In a resin printer, the only thing is levelling your bed and hope you dont spill resin in your printer! All the fiddly stuff is afterwards, and having gloves on whenever liquid resin is involved. Have a roll of paper towels handy. Yes I did have a resin spill but thankfully the tub caught everything and made cleanup real easy. The resin is also pretty inoffensive smelling, but I'll get a respirator anyway. I'm pretty sure I could get the settings better though, the very base layers have a tiny bit of distortion.

I ordered a Jazzmaster bridge to replace the vintage-style one my guitar came with (which sucks). This cost €7 delivered and while it isn't perfect it's slightly better than what it's replacing so I'm happy.

i have found that the knockoff regular lego are slightly inferior to real lego -- the plastic is slightly more flexible and the tolerances aren't as good -- but the knockoff technic is indistinguishable. i have the technic motorcycles and they're fantastic.
