anyone got chinked recently? i am trying to find a differrent pillow for my neck pain while sleeping and decided to get this sobakawa buckwheat pillow, looked it up on amazon reviews said some came with insects, so i said fuck it aliexpress cant be worst and there were many positive reviews from korean flags, it came filled with these little microscopic insects kek, i got a partial refund, i kept the filling on a bag and checked today, these little bastards reproduced and are little bit bigger, at least the cover is nice lmao.

Yes, it's a Psocidae or Liposcelididae more commonly known as booklice. It's a very common insect. Make sure you treat it and make sure you ventilate your room and keep the humidity low.

YVW. And the're completely harmless btw.

No need to throw away the pillow. You can take the buckwheat husks out of the pillow, put them in a transparent bag, seal it, and put it out in the sun. After an hour you can just sift it with a sieve and get rid of their remains. Should be as good as new.
>>
>>109047530
Not that anon, but back in the 80s? 90s? there used to be a shitload of infomercials about buckwheat pillows. It's been a thing for a long time.

My perception of it was, it was kind of holistic medicine, "redirect your healing energies" sort of bullshit.

Different thing, but for whatever reason this made me think of those wooden bead car seat covers that used to be popular.
>>
>>109047600
Sounds like some russian retardation, you can just use those smooth glass beads for pillow filling if you want BUG free one with similar feel.

Maybe they had a similar 'craze', but I wouldn't know, because I'm from the US.

Most people here use polyfill pillows, though I prefer down myself.
Have to replace them every few years, but that's kind of how it is with all pillows.

The button arrangement is different, but it looks very much like a Pinecil soldering iron.

I have one of their v2's, and I quite like it.
I assume the one in your pic is usb-c? My laptop charger rips with the one I have.
It has a builtin accelerometer, to sense when you lay it down. Dials down the temp to a holding temp. But by the time I pick it back up and have it positioned, it's back to the set temp.

What's intriguing is that it can take 3 diff style cartridges! Apparently it heats up really fast (provided you have a good charger or a battery) and can definitely solder XT30/XT60 connectors. (Many irons of this size (and those that use C210) can't do that).

Not sure but it does come with a choice of tip. I suggest you get an Si tip since it's capable of 100W. Non shit 100W irons are expensive. Si tips are also $10 USD each.

I already ordered mine with the KU-type Si tip (pick whichever one you use most often). it goes from 25-300C in 4 seconds which is insane for this price range.

I'm no expert but I think official LEGO of that would be 2-3x the price. It's cool tho and you can program it with a phone app.

Buckwheat (hull) pillows are based and literally ancient Japanese secret.

So, let me get this straight?
pissrahell gets endless cash from germs, muzzshits are popping out 10+ babies in france, gyppos are having 10+ babies in some random backwater, unlimited latinx mongrels in spain, unlimited visa-jeets, unlimited sub-saharan africans, but I can't even buy a PHONE???

I genuinely hope every single white person on this ridiculous continent, and planet burns in a fire.

Best bedsheets I've tried are tencel / lyocell, it's chemically processed plant fiber. Does that make it synthetic? Idk.
Good tencel feels kinda similar to silk with durability of synthetics. But it is more expensive than cotton and I would certainly not trust aliexpress with it.

you can buy it, but don't be fucking suprised when nothing works on it
and no, there is no fix because only huawei is totally fucked, you can buy chink version of other brands and they will work, but not huawei

oh and chink huawei have their version of android
probably anything that needs security won't work on them

Check the archives.
I think someone mentioned using obs to give you a virtual camera.
Then using a gif or a video.

any anon had problems with
"Delivery unsuccessful"
"You've requested a new delivery time"
the package passed customs and all that's left is local delivery but it's just not arriving
this is the second time this happens, is there a 3 time return to sender rule i should be worried about?
i think the main issue is the delivery guy is a lazy/retarded
shipping was via cainiao and delivery is via imile

EU folks, it has been fun, but it looks like we are already getting charged 3€ for each item and orders of multiple items over 150€ are not possible yet.
>>

Did my absolutely last order last thursday, the things I ordered June 1-3 arrived last friday and saturday already. Hopefully Chang solves it, even though the prices won't be the same even if they manage to build massive centers in Romania or something.

If I add more than one item to cart from the coins page, it starts adding $3 to each item's price. Is this universal, or a punishment for being on an old app version?
