I bought a Wii power supply that made the picture on my Wii horribly distorted. It died quickly too. I wish I took a picture of the circuit board from when I took it apart, because even if you showed it to someone who knew nothing about electronics they would immediately say "That's hosed up".

There's a limit to how much power can be drawn from a USB port so you should be fine.

You only run into issues if you buy something that provides a USB port, because that might not implement these power restrictions.

The debacle with crap usb a-c cables proved it's possible to over-draw and fry motherboards if something is poorly designed.

If it has a rechargeable battery with lovely voltage or heat controls you can probably start a nice battery fire.

But that’s fine, just buy lipo bags off ae and put everything in there.

I only wish I had ordered a greater variety. It's pretty well made. The only issue I have is that the pink and red lacquers(?) are not flush with the rest of the metal or orange lacquer. It did take forever, having ordered on December 2nd, 2017, and having arrived today.

These are probably the comfiest underwear I've ever had, I'm seriously considering buying more and throwing out my older underwear.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Men...2817942318.html
Ordered: 15th Dec - Arrived: 5th Jan.
These are very flattering but kinda uncomfortable after long periods of time, maybe wear them for a date or something.

Bought for my partner, very cute little beetle pin.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gra...2779166752.html
Ordered: 15th Dec - Arrived: 30th Dec.
I ordered the red one thinking that the contrast between the outer red and the inner black would look good, but upon arrival the whole of the hat is red. It's warm and comfortable, pretty good for the price.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Lum...2620964566.html
Ordered: 14th Dec - Arrived: 30th Dec.
Cute little pillow, not as filled out as the pictures suggest, but still okay. Requires 3 AA batteries.

Ordered: 15th Dec - Arrived: 11th Jan.
These arrived today and haven't had much time to play with them, they are very bright though and build quality seems pretty good.

Those undies literally are gay sleepwear.

Like, are you allowed to wear them if your not gay?

And why do gays need "Quick Drying Breathable Crotch Cotton" if they are asleep?

Question about this: what's the fabric like? Is it like the stretchy super-smooth spandexy cloth?

I'm not quite sure what keywords I should use to get proper cloth/cotton t-shirts because SURPRISE alix sellers don't give a fuuuuck what category they put stuff in, so just limiting the search by the material does not help at all. The material they use for all the "3d printed" cool af t-shirts is nice and breezy in the summer, but a bit cool for winter.

I might be mistaken, but if the material feels really hard and has no give, it's likely enamel. This would mean that the colours get packed in the metal base by hand, so if you want a better one, just order several and hope to get a good one, though you'll never get one where they're exactly even with the metal. This is because enamel is essentially glass powder you pack in and then fire in the oven to melt it smooth, which leaves the material slightly dipped. To combat this, you'd overpack (which runs the risk of the melted enamel running out from its bounds, like has obvs happened with the orange enamel on the lower stripe though it hasn't melted into the other colour at least) or fire and pack in several goes, filing the final product smooth and even. That's a bit too much work for to do for a 1,50 pin though.

The product page says broadcloth cotton/polyester, but there's no information on the label except washing instructions. It's a little stretchy and was very static when I received it, but after washing hasn't been crackling.

Eh, I figured, I just couldn't think of the right words, I was so excited!!! Paw Pins! I'm not upset over a 2 buck pin being wonky. Lord knows they'll get knocked off and lost at some point. At least they aren't absolutely hideous colored and obvious knock offs.

It was packaged well

But, the statue broke on the shoulder armor piece and one of the feet






But I was able to epoxy it back together. Used one of my wife's Barbie stands to hold her up on one of my toy shelves.
