I'd add the recommendation to buy effort-intensive custom art things like custom oil portraits or bobbleheads for a tenth the price of local.

Have you seen any especially good ones on aliexpress? Years back I saw a Chinese site that would reproduce propaganda posters but paint you into the scene. Since then I've been wanting one. I could probably just paint it myself but :effort: and I'd rather have someone trained in China do it.

I got my sister a pretty drat nice degas oil repro (not super on the finer details/brush strokes) for $80. I can look up the store, but I just went with the first and cheapest one with good ratings. Shipping was a little on the long side

wattage is measuring consumed electricity, not light output, and LEDs produce somewhere in the ballpark of 10x the light for each watt relative to incandescents. there's 120w "equivalent" bulbs appropriate to replace the Home Depot floodlight in your closet and actually 120W replacements for the massive Cheech and Chong high pressure sodium rig with the heat signature that can be seen from orbit

Yeah, so you go from 2.2kW to 220W; it's still hundreds of watts of power consumption from the grid.

So how bad of an idea is it to purchase a battery for my laptop on AliExpress?

if you cut corners on lithium battery production, impurities can cause a short and a runaway lithium fire that burns super hot and fast and also you can't put it out with water. Not a super idea

my package came, i was completely missing the pringles game and the copy of the secret of mana 2 translation hack has no battery for saving in it,

im just going to refund pringles for now and use my gamesaver to keep my save file until i get a battery to put in there

Yeah the cart battery thing is due to increased shipping costs with anything that has a battery in it and a lot of sellers cut costs by not including them

These are meant to be worn at raves so you can watch laser light shows and they look all crazy. There's similar ones called 'fireworks glasses' which are meant for watching fireworks and make everything fractal and awesome.

I bought these sunglasses off AliExpress recently:



I love them but I'm worried they're not really UV protective and will make my retinas melt if I wear them outside :ohdear:

It’s cheaper to make only sunglasses for export out of polycarbonate (which is inherently UV protective) than making two different lines of sunglasses lenses with a tiny difference in price out of a cheaper material.

I think you need to go to Ali Baba to get most pharmaceuticals. There you can contract with a lab to get many things. (I think some of them have been mass speced but I don't know what) I tried a bunch of search terms once when someone mentioned buying drugs on Ali Express, couldn't find anything, and then asked them about it afterwards. They meant to say Ali Baba.

A little less than ten years ago, you could find 55 gallon drums of methamphetamine advertised on AliBaba
