Ah I guess it's more involved than the pictures make them look, I compared it to the Marvel Gauntlet my girlfriend bought for around $65 which looked more involved but the piece count is half of the Eagle 5. More tempted now.

That post was from like a month ago  But it might be worth trying your phone too, it's I think they're using the 13.5 Mhz and should let you read/write compatible tags.E: Came across these cordless pressure washers, I guess I didn't realize they were a thing.  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003333982184.html Really doubt it can push any serious pressure or flow but could be a decent option to just foam up or rinse a car or something. Too bad I bought a giant wall-powered washer last year. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Nov 3, 2022 |

Filling up a cart with all manor of stupid poo poo for Christmas gifts while they're having this sale. Any absolute must-haves out there? I got fake turds, the little wind-up jack-off guy, dumb croc charms, snake in a can, banana duck, wall mounted witch hand, blanket that looks like a burrito, and some other junk. I'm shopping for a wife, a 12-year-old girl (nerd), and a 3-year-old boy.

I bought something marketed as a "puzzle", but it's a 1:6 scale model. I think it was supposed to be an accessory for an action figure, but they're neat little kits on their own. Two of them came with stands for individual display, two of them didn't.

The bolt actually moves back and forth, so if you pull it back you can see them. I also just realized that the upper handguard is missing! I guess it's dispute time.

I placed an order with Temu a couple of weeks ago and the box showed up a couple of days ago. I got a couple pairs of not-crocs with fleece in them for the winter to wear as slippers. They're fine for being under $10, it's hard to find decent slippers for under $20 most of the time on amazon or whatever. I define decent as having a rubberized sole in case I need to step outside for a bit and for grip on stairs, plus warm, I'm less concerned with the overall quality as long as they hold up for a couple of years and don't fall apart when hand washed. I want more of an in-house shoe than a slipper, basically. They're marked with non-US sizing of size 43 or 44 depending if I ordered 9 1/2 or 10 and seem to fit normally for that size. Most of them didn't have larger sizes available at the time and some do now, but I usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 depending on the brand of shoe and they seem to fit fine for their sizing. I got this ugly pair because the holes make them a little less hot so they're a bit more comfortable with socks. I don't really care what they look like indoors, nobody will see them. Perfectly fine for $10: https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601099511971103  I also got this ugly pair to be warmer and have a little more of a heel on them. Like the previous ones, it's a $10 slipper that's basically fleece in a shell but this one's a little more plasticy than a croc and a bit less comfortable but it's okay for around the house. They fit fine and they're warm, the soles are going to be good for stepping outside for a minute but not for wearing as an outside shoe: https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=6017592186106185  I got a couple of light jackets, too. My dad's wearing this light jacket, I ordered it as an XL but it's a tight US Large, really. He wears M or L depending on the brand and it fits well on him. If you wear a large I'd consider a 2XL. Several of the outside pockets are fake (only the side slash ones and one inside breast pocket are real, the outside breast pockets and side flap pockets are not, nor is the zipper by the left breast pocket), but the shell is okay and there's lining and everything, it looks decent. Not really warm since there's no insulation in the lining. That said, it's advertised as Cotton but the actual sewn in label says the shell is 100% nylon and the lining is 100% polyester, so there's that and the sizing to beware of: https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601759218612240  I'm wearing this one and I ordered 2XL, but it's really a small fitting XL or big L. Wearable but I'd have preferred it to be just a little looser. It's pretty decent looking, basically just like the picture. It is 100% polyester but the shell is a good windbreaker and the lining is decently sewn. It feels warm and will probably be good until it gets around freezing out. Another thing that's fine for $20 and it'll last a couple of years and be good for the fall and spring. https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=6017592186109685  For the 90% off one-time promotional first order thing Temu does, I got a tiny vacuum with internal lithium battery. It's not super strong but it'll be fine for cleaning up a desk or whatever and it was around $2.50 only in that deal. Normal price is closer to $19 and I'm not sure it's strong enough to be worth it but if you just need something little to dustbust your desk, maybe. If you want something like it I'd see what in the sale areas because there's multiple vendors with the same items with different names and prices. https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601099511915267  Anyway everything arrived fine and will get used, there's just some clothes sizing caveats and misrepresented materials to beware of.

I did screw myself a little bit by ordering around $130, then finding out the coupon was max $30. Oh well. Here's my trip report. I ordered October 25, arrived November 4. Well except for one item that is allegedly being sent in a second package. USPS tracking has told me "tracking number created, waiting for shipment" since the confirmation email. But at the same time, the delivery window was November 6-16, so I appreciate the faster than estimated shipping on most stuff.  https://www.temu.com/musion-carbon-print-balaclava-breathable-full-face-motorcycle-mask-race-gear-g-601099512003467.html Musion Carbon Print Balaclava This one was great for the price. The material is decent and fits my head well, without having like 3 extra inches in the neck area or some weird thing that usually happens with clothing from these types of places. I'm going to be using it on my bike once the weather gets worse. It would also be pretty good for a ninja party.  https://www.temu.com/mankiw-wireless-car-charger-fast-charging-car-charger-auto-clamping-phone-mount-g-601099511951614.html Mankiw Wireless Car Charger About half the reason I got this was because I was an econ minor. I won't say it has the rounded look and feel of a good Apple accessory, but it is very sturdy and comes with a nice range of parts for mounting to either the air vents or on its articulated arm. I can't speak to whether it is any good yet but I will update if it blows up my car.  https://www.temu.com/cut-resistant-...9512054234.html Cut Resistant Gloves Cutting Proof Gloves Level 5 Protection  https://www.temu.com/2pcs-cut-resistant-gloves-cutting-gloves-level-5-protection-for-kitchen-g-601099512153536.html 2pcs Cut Resistant Gloves, Cutting Gloves Level 5 Protection Yes I bought two pairs of cut resistant gloves. They were cheap enough to compare and contrast. What I got was also exactly the same down to the coloring, level of protection, and size. I tried them out with my sharpest kitchen knife and I think they will do fine. Also decent warmth if you are thinking of trying them out for yardwork. One note about sizing: I have small hands for a guy (around size 9) and size L was on the small size of good for me. XL might be better for other people.  https://www.temu.com/smart-digital-car-tire-inflator-12v-electric-car-air-pump-g-601099511745609.html Smart Digital Car Tire Inflator, 12V Electric Car Air Pump A couple months ago, I had a dead battery in my car in my garage, so I bought a rechargeable car starter battery. Amazing. Like half the cliches in horror movies just can't occur these days because of the technology we have. Then 2 weeks ago, I saw a person pumping up his tire off a battery-powered pump thing like this. I am a total sucker for that poo poo. Again, haven't had a chance to test this yet, but it has modes for inflating sports equipment as well as various vehicles, has a gauge with battery and pressure, and looks well built overall. The case material is aluminum and it is about the size of three stacked iPhones. I would have liked for it to come with a protective case like my jumpstarter battery, but otherwise it looks great.  https://www.temu.com/outdoor-tactic...9511788627.html Outdoor Tactical 3P Attack Bag 45L I have been needing a cheap molle bag for a while with weekend trip capacity. There used to be a good candidate on walmart.com, but it has been out of stock forever. This fits the bill perfectly. Don't get me wrong - it is precisely lovely walmart quality, the snaps and stitching do not inspire confidence - but it has lots of pockets and space for what I need to store.  https://www.temu.com/arsuxeo-mens-r...2186081564.html ARSUXEO Men's Reflective Windbreaker Jacket Another great name. The ARSUXUOFF is another Aldi/walmart quality item, but it is bright as hell and I think acceptable for cycling down to around freezing temps. It comes with a zippable rear pocket big enough for the standard cycling phone/keys/wallet. I would say the sizing is about right for the cycling L I bought it in. There is some stretchy material under the armpits to help with that and to help breathe a bit.  https://www.temu.com/e-yooso-wired-...9511981378.html E-YOOSO Wired Mechanical Keyboard, 89 Keys Compact Mechanical I was looking for a good keyboard for the office that didn't drive everyone around me insane, and I already had a couple keyboards with blue switches so I couldn't use those. This wasn't quite as quiet as I hoped, but it looks and works great. The backlighting is subtler than I expected. I do think that this is available for about the same price on Amazon, but who cares.  https://www.temu.com/8000mah-10000m...9512034421.html 8000mAh/10000mAh Magnetic Power Bank This is the item that hasn't arrived yet, but it certainly looked cool. Overall it was fun and I think i'll burn another $30 coupon there later today. I can't tell you if I saved any money because I didn't shop around at all. I'd agree with everyone else that clothing on Temu is the most mediocre stuff they offer... but serviceable.

I ordered the one set of magnetic USB cables/tips on Temu that do data/high speed charging. I'll let everyone know how those work. The listing is unclear about how many cables and tips. Picture shows 3 cables, but I gather "each" is one cable, one tip unless you get the set with micro, C, and lightning, in which case it's still one cable, but 3 tips. I also ordered some USB-C to A adapters, and vice-versa, since they were cheap, and that comes up from time to time.

Magnetic cable goons, I made a charging tray with the Ikea bamboo tablet cradle. I am pretty happy with it. close up  I hosed up by making the bottom holes too high, they should be lower like default one in the middle. The left right cables are too rigid, the one in the middle is just right. I can throw gadget at it easier.  I added another cable on the top because I want to see the battery percentage of this earphone box right side up.  Sitting the phone in the middle would make the 2 side slots too crowded for earphone boxes, I guess you have to charge the phone on the left or right side.
