My T-shirts from Temu actually got here in a week, they’re on it right now. I’ve done fairly well there, aside from some mis-sizing on my part.

I admit looking at those bookcase kits for a long time, I’m not sure my brain could withstand many hours of tiny work though. Hopefully you don’t set it up first then work on the details, my hands wouldn’t fit either

I have the Balrog on the way (there are 2 designs, I guess) as a birthday present to myself and to set across from Treebeard. Will let you know how it goes. E: for what it’s worth, Google translate has a camera function which will translate live on screen in case the instructions are ever difficult to decipher. I’m currently doing several like 1/4 size Lego sets with lights, and it works well. REMEMBER SPONGE MONKEYS fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Mar 30, 2023 |

Talorat posted:Wearing a jpeg boomer meme shirt does feel like exactly the kind of thing I'm irony poisoned enough to do, but I most folks on the street won't get the joke. Hey you’re me from like a month or two ago! I did post some options, if you like. I never talked myself into following through. There are plenty of share zone-level shirts, if you look. The only way out of the nazi hole is to just keep clicking on other stuff, I think. It still boggles my mind that there’s a “brand label” on AE that is the nazi emblem missing only the swastika. And you drop off really fast by clicking anything remotely kind of military-ish. It’s pro-military, pro-cop, right on into open fascist-type poo poo.

Ha, I was going to post some of those a while back but figured they were obvious memes and everyone had seen them 100 times. I figured y’all would laugh me out of the thread Ah well, at least having clicked on them you can begin a deeper journey into the madness with their recommendations.

The store with the castlevania/great depression hoodie also has one that says “somnambulist” took me a long time to work that out. I’d like to hope it’s not a band or anime, but it probably is. Ha, they do exist:

I found no fewer than 4 possum-only sticker lots, and several of the memes in patches, not sure on that specific one. Good news is almost all of those shops do custom orders cheap, stickers probably moreso.

What did the testing cover? I’d mostly like to replace (or have spares for) my nemesis safety glasses from an old job I’ve just kept wearing. They’re nice because they don’t scratch like most others and work well enough as daily sunglasses, and bonus if something explodes.

That’s just an added bonus these days. No real explosions, just yard work periodically. Overkill for that, they’ve just proved quite durable and I am lazy and fashion backwards.
