Liquid Chicken posted:I'm up to 25 of these little buggers.... I checked out the bromine cube and that's not a bad idea, basically the only way to store it long term is to seal it in a glass ampoule. They also linked to this moron pouring it on an iPhone with no PPE on  edit: oh my god his entire channel is just destroying iPhones in different ways.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004815653595.html As someone who wanted to get an AirTag as a poor man’s LoJack for my motorbike, my understanding is that it’s trivially easy for anyone with an iPhone to detect if there’s an AirTag (as part of Apple’s “don’t use this for stalking” policy)

Darchangel posted:Also, you can't make it road legal in most states. There are neighbourhoods/areas in FL* cities where golf carts are street legal. A mate of mine there has one as a runabout, uses it for visiting friends, taking his kid to the pool, etc. *(Probably other places too, but I think it's particularly widespread there).

DrBouvenstein posted:Not the car companies, but the federal government. Is the model year 25 years old or older? Hey, you might be able to import it, just expect a mountain of paperwork, a lot of fees, and waiting forever for it to finally (hopefully) arrive in a cargo ship. And then the nightmare of trying to register it. He's making the point that the only reason those rules are in place are because the car companies have lobbied the government to protect their interests. Anything you're not trying to use on public roads is fine; there have been companies importing newish kei trucks for ages (back when it wasn't as mainstream as it is now because it was limited to pokey Showa jalopies) for people to use on their ranches, etc. I've heard of some universities using them as well.

flavor.flv posted:Are there any good comfortable bras on Ali that are actually plus size? I'm talking real big. Any F cups I find have a 40" band max, and all the bras with 50" bands top out at D Be careful with random Chinese stuff near your body. I was buying some thermal trousers (used for cycle commuting in winter) on Amazon a few years back, and from the reviews it turned out that the lining fabric was basically carcinogenic or something and should not be in direct contact with human skin. It didn't really affect me because I always had at least one base layer on underneath, but it did make me wary.

Arivia posted:I had reason to go look at the toaster again the other day. I think, and frankly this is crazy, it doesn't actually have a wifi connection. It's still like $500 dollars and has presets for loving gluten-free protein waffles, but it may actually not be network connected. Not Aliexpress, but yesterday I had the experience of plugging an Amazon toaster in for the first time and being greeted with smoke and a burning insulation smell. Thought of this thread.

wheatpuppy posted:Same. I have had 2 or 3 magnets break, and replaced a couple of cords that weren't charging well anymore but I am still way ahead in cost and convenience compared to when I had separate cables for all my devices. I broke a half-dozen or more "regular" charging cables by accidentally snagging the cord and pulling my phone or tablet off a table; invariably they would land on the charging port and break or bend the end of the cable. Hasn't happened once with the magnetic ones. The last time I flew I felt pretty clever using one to fish one of my Bluetooth earbuds out from between the seat and bulkhead. Also to whomever said the Apple ones are annoying unreliable, I feel you. Never had a USB C or micro USB stop working, but the Lightning ones ones seem to have like a 25% chance to completely fail forever every time you take them out.

XYZAB posted:Off topic but cyanide and the history of cyanide is actually kind of fascinating. Its first synthesis in the form of hydrogen cyanide was from Prussian Blue pigment (ferric ferrocyanide), which itself was the first historical synthetic blue pigment, and whereas certain cyanide containing gases and salts will loving kill you straight up, Prussian Blue pigment is listed on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines as one of the most important medicines in a basic health system as both a Thallium and radioactive Cesium uptake inhibitor. So in the event of a nuclear war you might want to reach for a tube of dark blue artist's oil paint and start chugging it. But not cobalt blue. That'll kill you. Also, the walls of some of the gas chambers in Nazi Germany when discovered by the allies were thought to have been haphazardly painted blue for reasons unknown, but it turned out they weren't painted that colour at all: Zyklon B, when exposed to water, released pure hydrogen cyanide gas. The same blue that gives Prussian Blue its hue is the same blue that stained those walls. Additionally, architectural blueprints used to be blue because some nerd figured out how to apply enough science to ferric ferrocyanide that it could be utilized in the similar way that we use a photocopier today, and the name stuck and lives on long after architectural plans no longer had to rely on that method of duplication. The more you know! I do wet plate collodion (1850s photographic process) and an alarming number of people who do it in the US use potassium cyanide fixer, mostly because it rinses faster than the harmless ammonium and sodium thiosulfate fixes that also work perfectly fine. KCn fix is fine unless it comes into contact with a strong acid (guess what the developer you use in the process is?), at which point it turns into hydrogen cyanide gas. It's fine if you're careful, but basically none of these people have any chemistry/chemical handling training, and are often shooting at places like bars, etc that are completely blind to the potential risks.

mobby_6kl posted:One more thing, anyone seen an actually small wireless mouse? I have a tiny 10" laptop for travel and the Logitech MX Anywhere turned out to be barely smaller than my desktop Razer mouse. I'm looking for something really small that would be easy to stick in a small pocket, even if it's not super ergonomic. You might try the Microsoft Arc Mouse

PokeJoe posted:im considering getting one as a gift for a friend who is lacking in the gaming PC department if they can play reasonably modern games at low settings and can be had for ~$150. is this a thing that exists? If you don’t need tiny and lower power, you’ll probably get more bang for your buck on Marketplace. I just put together a 4690k with 32gb of RAM, a bunch of storage, and a GTX970 for $95 ($50 computer, $45 gpu, plus installing windows on my own because it used to be a media server or something).
