importing strange foreign fruit seeds is a bio-crime!

Is it possible to import seeds online legally? If you bring them with you IRL they have to be declared and a customs person has to check them.

It depends on the kind of seed, i accidentally ordered live brussel sprouts from the Philipines (on amazon) once and they got seized.

My understanding is that usually what they are looking for is foreign *soil* though, on the seeds or what not, so ordering seeds (not live plants) is the way to go. I'm okay with some of my stuff getting held up and I'll look for a legal import list.

I am genuinely curious, sorry I wasn't just joking! I'd love to be able to buy my mom some weird rear end Korean gourds for her gigantic garden.

Can anyone help me by pointing out a good security cam at a good price?

I know the temptation to get cheap electronics is strong, but I guess I would recommend not getting a security system on AE, for privacy reasons if nothing else. If it's more of a casual interest then go hog wild

My hesitation is using WiFi enabled security cameras from AE, if you aren't concerned about access then go for it and let me know how well it works!

Edit: sorry I should clarify. I'm sure they WORK fine, but wifi and other wireless devices in China have different security protocols and etc, didn't mean to dissuade you

Anyway, I was thinking of getting a trail camera for my parent's cottage but it looks like every single one on AE is exactly the same model.

Not even that much cheaper than going to Bass Pro or Sail or whatever and getting one there. Kinda disappointed with China.

For what it's worth, those appear to be significantly cheaper then the ones my dad has (although his are "higher end", whatever that means in trail cam world)

I got a delivery!

It's my Alisister Europe America Youth Fashion 3D Ramen Noodle Printed Hooded Sweatshirts Couples Harajuku Assassins Zipper Hoodies!!

I was disappointed at first to see it says 'Rannnen Noodldle Soup Chiccken', but on reconsideration, I see the beauty in the wrong English. It's only one layer thick so it's a little thin but the inside is actually a cheap fleece I think! A lot softer than the other aliexpress shirts I have. Outside is still weird and smooth though. Also, no smell! I was impressed.

Excuse the lovely snapchat screenshot because I'm a dumbass millennial, but I'm normally an XS and they only had (Asian!) small so the hoodie is more like a dress on me. It's a good look

Lol this is great

Someone asked me to post seed pics, but unfortunately I haven't been cataloguing their development super well!

In Oregon, the weather has been cold and lovely and also I'm a bad plant mom. But anyway germination rate was like 95%, which surprised me, but the sprouts mostly languished in apathy hell.

I told my dad to have a space made for my aliexpress seeds so I could see what happens. It's in the faaar back so if they accidentally sold me real titty gourd seeds, my shame will be hidden from the world.

So here's some cucumber sprouts and stuff I put in. Some tomatoes are in too. Everything seems to be coming in as the plant promised but, like I always say, there's still time to be disappointed!

It was me thank you! I'm excited to see the titty gourds

I bought a LeEco Le Max 2 and Meizu EP-51 headphones since I hadn't bought a brand new cellphone for myself since 2004. Same hardware as a Galaxy S7, but at a third of the price. 5,7" 2560*1440 screen. Needed some de-chinification of the interface, but runs what seems to be decently stock Android. Big black border around the screen, no NFC and the vibration is pretty weak, but otherwise a good flagship phone for just $200. Nice metal body construction, and comes with screen protector installed, and a TPU cover to use while you wait for other covers from eBay.

The headphones were $30. They are a very bright in the treble but have decent bass. The volume dongle pulls them to the side, which can be annoying, but totally worth the money otherwise.

HUGE upgrade from my previously owned iPhone 5S with wired headphones.

Er... LeEco isn't doing great right now so please take care of your phone

So uh.

I dropped $12 on two "dresses" that were more going to be sleep shirts/costumey things.

What was advertised:
1.

2.

I was expecting them to be poorly made and the velvet to be really light weight (that would have been a plus, actually). I also expected them to be somewhere near my size, as the listing had a size chart.

What was delivered:
1.

2.

I can't decide if the counterfeiter didn't realize it was velvet, or just thought they could get away with doing a lovely velvet pattern.

Edit: gently caress you imgur
