I order poo poo from aliexpress every few months and I got a couple of christmas gifts on there... a tip: look for listings with reviews that have pictures of the items. it helps so much, especially with so many duplicate listings like pick said. I'm still waiting on some screw spikes for my jacket I only had an issue with something being wonky once and I got a refund.

did you try steel wool? we cleaned up the grody drip pans on the electric stove here (the previous renters didn't clean them very well either lol) with steel wool and long soapy soaks; the bottoms of our pans are kinda gross too so maybe that would help..... hmm.... I can't wait to order stuff once we move, I have a bunch of poo poo in my wishlist to buy for the kitchen (not for food) and the bathroom

would the empty tea bags be good for cooking with herbs/etc in a soup or stew (to take out easily later) like a cheesecloth bundle would be?

MY PALE GOTH SKIN posted:Haha I sent something similar to this (bought off of Amazon, possibly the same exact thing) to a friend of mine. We were BFFs in HS and the poor lady just pours sweat from her armpits. Back in HS she generally just wore an undershirt of some kind to soak up some of the sweat, I think she still does that when she gives a poo poo. you are a good friend

You basically hook the can opener onto the lip of the can, then grab the big flat part with your thumb and forefinger and press down hard until the tip punctures the can. You move it over a little, puncture, repeat. It takes a pretty long time and a few dozen punctures, and your fingers start to hurt before you're halfway through. If you go a little bit too far, you'll just poke another hole instead of making one long cut around the lid; too many mistakes like that and the lid won't come off. ???????????????????????????????????????????????? e: I got mine here https://www.sciplus.com/p/GI-CAN-OPENER_33105 years ago snoo fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Aug 4, 2017 |

That70sHeidi posted:I'm still going pro/con on the sealing issue. On one hand, don't bathe with your home decor, on the other hand, accidents do happen. On the other other hand, there are a LOT of nooks and crannies and I don't know what would really make it "sealed." And on the fourth hand, I know one color purple I've used will fade in prolonged exposure to sunlight so maybe there's a UV blocking sealant I should get. $$$$ but your pieces would probably look nice in shadowboxes with UV resistant glass/acrylic

I love stupid pillows and I have a carp pillow in my wishlist and thought 'I should get that for my brother' bc he used to have a fish pillow when we were kids but then my husband suggested a magikarp pillow which I can make sooo I'm going with that someday I'll buy a fish pillow though, since I have fish. the knockoff nendoroids are a little wonky but I'm gonna get a second one for my husband for xmas... I'm buying it from a seller that has reviews with pictures so I can see how bad it is. and it's okay I hope everything else gets here before christmas; the nendoroid has a free epacket option so that should be good. last year I had a couple of things arrive after xmas but at least I've never had a package disappear in transit.

in my experience you can get relatively cheap phone cases from ebay, from US sellers (if you need it ASAP anyway), for about any phone. I have one that's a two-piece combination of like silicone around the edges and hard plastic with a grooved pattern on the back for different types of protection, including a raised edge around the front so if you're dropping the phone on something relatively flat, the screen won't hit it, and it's saved my phone every time I've dropped it. and it was $3 + free shipping. I've had it for nearly a year (got my phone last xmas) and it's held up well. I got the same type for my husband once he got a phone with a big screen like mine. that's a lot of words about a phone case but it's been really great for me, a clumsy jackass with girl-pockets snoo fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Nov 26, 2017 |

obi_ant posted:I assume that most of the Nendoroid stuff on Aliexpress fake? yes. i bought two on purpose as gifts for my husband (one last year and one this year) and just got the one in the mail today. i would only buy them from sellers with reviews that have pictures so you can get an idea of what they look like. the paint details aren't nearly as good and the parts don't seem to fit as well as they should, but that's really up to your preference. they definitely do not look as good as real ones, but they're also like $13 soooooooooo i'll post a picture of the one i got later before i wrap it. and maybe of the other one from last year as well.

^ lmao basically but they've got like interchangable parts (faces, hands, etc.) like dumb action figures i like the kirby one but i don't usually collect poo poo like this. i like shiny rocks and dead animals i didn't set this one up so don't ask me (he's not missing a leg it's just a bent knee one) this is the one i got today and put together hastily, his face keeps fuckin falling off and his arm doesn't stay on too well, either. and the stand doesn't quite fit in the hole in his back. u get what u pay for~~~~~~~~~~~ snoo fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Dec 6, 2017 |

the knockoff nendoroids cost about the same as like full-price funko pops from what i can tell and even if they're hosed up and broken they're more fun i've never had any desire to buy a funko pop but i know someone with hundreds and idk how the gently caress they can afford them

my epacket took 16 (17?) days to get here (ordered nov 20, arrived dec 6). the nice thing is that you can track epackets through USPS's website and that updates well before the tracking on aliexpress does, and it gave me an estimated delivery date.

wool like that will end up felting itself whenever you get it wet or wash it, so i think you either need to actually make it more yarn-y or learn to enjoy a giant matted mess the blankets look really neat but it's not as simple as it seems

I bought one of those squirrel-shaped rice scoops in lime green and the one that arrived was a sickly grey with a hint of green. saw a review with the same wrong color around the time time I received mine, while everything previous was the lime green. I opened a dispute because, uh, it's the wrong color, and the seller PMed me asking me to close the dispute bc 'it still functions' despite the color being wrong. ok but it's still wrong

Guy Mann posted:Since the topic of seeds and Dollar Tree have both come up in the past, I'm happy that DT is filling the incredibly cheap seed-shaped hole in my heart left by AliExpress banning seed sales. i bought coleus seeds from dollar tree last winter and they did pretty well: you can see it on the left side of the big window in this picture, to show the scale (and i had a hanging one on the right side near the thermometer, too): i can't find any more easily accessible pictures atm but it flowered A LOT and i saved the seeds for this year i'm going to get them started soon, in a bigger pot than last time since it kept falling over. i never really pruned it at all. i saw the display of seeds when i was at dollar tree yesterday but i don't have money for soil/pots/etc. right now i'd love to make a raised bed on our balcony and grow some leafy lettuces and radishes and beets and stuff in the spring, and then something else over the summer. i think i'm gonna focus on getting my christmas cactuses and succulents thriving, and get tomato plants started before it gets too hot to set fruit.
