What's a good 1-5 cent item to use as filler?
>>109046283doesn't exist.just go on coins section and find something you could actually use and spend a dollar or two
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.
>>109046487what the fuck
>>109046487freezing helpsrinse, dry and freeze the filling
>>109046487>with these little microscopic insects kek,I'm an entomologist. Can you post pics of them?
>>109046487pics please, holy kek
>>109047011That's not a real country anon
>have AZ09s for a couple of years, work really well until they start randomly dropping and stalling>replace them with AN01s>worse out of the boxDo any of these not suck
>>109046649i did read that but i am not putting a fucking nest of whatever this is on my fridge, i am throwing it today on a nearby park where some hippies have a community garden>>109047011>>109047036its probably just whatever insect feeds of the wheat leftovers inside the husks
>>109047409psosid?dont quote me on that thoi am *NOT* >>109047011
>>109047409AW HELLLL NO
>>109047409>>109047494>psosid?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.
>>109047409You know these fucking things could pose danger to north america/europe?Why would you buy a pillow made from buckwheat?What sort of mongrel are you?
>>109047518thaks, prof oak
Why is their shipping so expensive?
>>109047538YVW. 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.
>>109047530Not 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.
>>109047600Sounds like some russian retardation, you can just use those smooth glass beads for pillow filling if you want BUG free one with similar feel.
good iron? cheap as dirt as irons go...
>>109047530theres probably multiple amazon warehouses filled with this shit, just read the reviews
>>109047629>Sounds like some russian retardationMaybe 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.
>>109047760The 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.
>>109047760>pinecil like construction>looks like it would take hakko style cartridges>maybe ironos even?interesting, JBC style is the meta (if you do handheld to laptop scale) but honestly that is not bad for bigger jobs
>>109047812>but it looks very much like a Pinecil soldering iron.Yep. And I think it can take the same style cartridge.See the pic for features.>>109047824>>looks like it would take hakko style cartridgesWhat'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).
>>109047860>literally a chang's pinecil remixmight worth getting one for the bigger jobs if you dont have a pinecil already
>>109047933the only negative seems to be the RGB lights but those can be turned off.
>>109047977>leds>rainbow blinkingFUARKbased babi toy designer chang
>>109047992I wish all the RGB shit would just go away but every year there's more and more of it. I feel like a fucking boomer at this point.Luckily it can be turned off and I bet you can disable it in firmware too.
>>109048043i absolutely despise RGB LED but>>109047977i unironically like this because it's so bad it's sovl like, reminds me of picrel type shit
>>109048068not edgy dragon dildo mecha gigagay ROG shit but like the exact opposite of that RGB
got my hiking chair yesterday 559 grams without case / 605g with a casenot bad at all for €37.41 I paid for it original Helinox Chair Zero LT it's copied from goes for €150 and weighs 494g/534gnow just need some motivation to actually go out hiking...
>>109048242>hiking chairUse case?You can just sit on the grass, stones, wood?lol?
>>109046105I never thought I'd see my home town of criccieth in the csg OP picrel. lol.
>>109048292for short walks on nice days - yeah, no need for chairfor overnights, wet days if planning to chill near campfire - chair is nice to have
I got the TS100, it can only be powered by the dc5525 jack and I'm yet to find a 60w power supply that has flexible enough cable that won't get in the way. I was looking into getting the TS101, but I might get this Christmas tree toy pen.
>>109048626get an old 65w laptop charger and solder the appropriate barrel plug at its end insteadthey're usually quite flexible
>>109048626>TS100scroll up and get that iron instead. literally 1/2 to 1/3 of the price but has more features.
It's kinda annoying that amazon will sell chinese crap to you without warning.if you wanted chinese garbage, can't you get the same crap cheaper from aliexpress or temu?
>>109048944almost everything is fully or partially made in China, boomer
FUCKI didn't copy the promo code and lost 5$ :(Hope the watch will be worth it
>>109046105Nice.>>109048944That's why you always crosscheck with Ali or Temu. Most things on scamazon are rebranded/marketed for the average western goy to consume who wouldn't think twice about it.
>>109049860looks great. is that one of the glashutte clones?
I would like to do some light motovlogging, i have a gopro and a shitty digital camera from 2009 that takes okay pics but looks like VHS quality when i do video, i think it could look cool as an aesthethic thoAny good stands i can get off aliexpress? Ones that are at least 1,5m or 2m tall. I currently only have a tiny desk stand for my digital camera which is like a tripod 10cm tall
>>109047977>RGBlmao, just get the S99
>>109046487>western reviews said it came with insects>so I bought the exact same thing from a place where I can barely understand the machine translated somehow even LESS moderated reviews insteadImpressively retarded.I can't come up with any way to clean out the bugs that would make me comfortable with using the pillow, since it would still be full of dead bugs anyway.
>>1090506611. transparent case is cool2. LEDs can be turned white which can act as light3. they can be turned off
lately Ali has been recommending the dumbest shit. right now it's giving me a bunch of stress toys like are in the shape of black toddlers. all i buy on here are games and random computer parts / accessories

I cant remember if I posted my new knife or not, but here it is. I didnt realise it was a fake from SOG I thought it was just some random OEM knife. Anyway, the flick action is nice but I wish I had something that was easier to flick with just my finger and not requiring wrist action too.
Opinions on these split keyboards?I always saw kits going for $100+ and required you to build the thing but this are ready to go for around 60 bucks.https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009920162375.htmlhttps://aliexpress.com/item/1005007882799181.html
anyone have a recommendation or know of a good deal on a silicone mat?
>>109046487kekPillows won't fix you neck pain btw. You dont need a pillow at all, just take a small towel, fold it lengthwise 3-4 times so its about 2-3cm high and use that as a headrest. Been doing that for years.
>>109047824>ironosdoes it make much of a difference in supported irons?
>>109053394honestly, not really but usually better than what those ships with
>>109053364https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009085657828.htmli bought the large one of these
i got schumi's sf2004minifig and bricks are lego tier, i'm very impressed19 bucks
>>109046487Shredded memory foam pillows have been my goat since I tried them. Give them a go if you're a side sleeper.
>>109053932>i bought the large one of thesevery nice. thank you.btw, does the biggest version, 55cm, have the pockets? are they even useful?
>>109054709how long does it take to build something like this?
>>109055030i build it during todays race so i would say 2-3 hoursbags are numbered
>>109055055>2-3 >hoursNot bad. Looks great tho!Have you built anything bigger and how does it compare to official Lego shit?
>>109055103i buildtmuch bigger setstumblerslave 1 (75060)poojoe 9x8all chink, all good, i built tons of lego sets when i was younger>how does it compare to official Lego shit1:1, even minifig you would never tell that it't not lego, it's only missing logo on bricks
>>109050930>everyone talking about a new soldering iron>noone posts the nameI assume it's the Sequre SI012 Pro Max? Does no-one sell it by itself, I already have a bunch of T12 tips.
>>109051994I got this one just the other day.
>>109051994ublock origin and stop blindly accepting cookies/trackers. not sure if chrome itself pushes data to brokers but id consider switching to firefoxno need to thank me
wanting a way to charge 21700s and maybe also test them. are these style of tester things good? the chinglish in the desc isnt good but isnt the worst
>>109055760the name is in both videos I posted>Does no-one sell it by itself, I already have a bunch of T12 tips.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.
>>109055137thanks bro! I will order a set. always wanted to build something but could never justify the prices that Lego was asking.>you would never tell that it't not lego, it's only missing logo on bricksawesome. also, fuck logos. I avoid logos and don't even wear clothes with logos.
>>109057194i would say avoid any MOC sets, they are pain to build and quality is not as good as just copies of lego sets
Feels like they lost so much money on that last football promo that they decided to not do anything at all on the fucking world cup, damn....
>>109057206thank you! if you like & recommend any of the sets, leave a link. I'll order it with the next batch of goods I buy.
>>109057299i have no idea what you like, you can just look at current lego catalog and type number of set into ali searchthey have some old sets too
>>109057330I'm looking at Pokemon and One Piece related stuff.Oh, and this thing was in the 'related' links. it comes with the motor. insane.
>>109057425looks cool
>>109057440I'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.Even the non-licensed Pikachu ones are expensive... but still a fraction of the price of the LEGO. Very complicated though.
>>109057546>Very complicated though.not really, you will get parts in numbered bags, you open two bags and build some part from itmodern lego is piss easy to build, but that's good
>>109057567Thanks! I'll either pick this Pikachu or the One Piece ship as my first set. I don't want to get anything super-complicated.
>>109057185>Not sure but it does come with a choice of tip. I suggest you get an Si tip since it's capable of 100W.can't any tip do that? don't you just need the iron to support a high enough voltage? pic for pinecil
>>109057595The iron can but in the end you're limited by the tip. Si tips are rated for 100W of continuous use.>pic for pinecilIs limited by the ST tips which are not even rated for 100W.
>>109057649forgot pic
>>109057655does the table imply that you can only get 100w with 6s lipos? if so that's a little disappointing
>>109057702>does the table imply that you can only get 100w with 6s lipos? Or a DC charger. instead of going with USB-C.>if so that's a little disappointingHow so? look at the price and the competition.
>>109055022of course the pockets are useful. this stuff is usually used for phone repair, and they're for small screws.
>>109046487>>109047530Buckwheat (hull) pillows are based and literally ancient Japanese secret. But you need to get one that's made in the US or somewhere local to you because a lot of the time they're fumigated to prevent just such a thing from happening. Those hulls also look kind of shit quality because they're usually dark and shiny.
I looked back on one of the stores from the 1 cent trials that didn't ship the product. These stores got bombed with 1 star reviews, tanking their 10 year store rating. The store rating has been reset to 100%.
>>109059052Ali reviews are deleted on a set schedule. I'm pretty sure it's 6 months. It's why I don't bother leaving any unless I feel like there's a good reason to. I also screenshot any reviews with useful information.
last call before customageddon eu-bros
does aliexpress have like a monthly limit to how many returns you can do? my shit used to be free to return and now they are charging me $8 for a return label.
>>109059342Yes, there’s a monthly limit of 5 free refunds.
>>109059196wasted my money buying three times rather than all at once, I can only cope thinking I won't buy anything else for the next 2 years
Yes, it is still doable.
i need to buy some towels, and some bed sheets. but i suspect this is not the kind of thing you should buy online
>>109060205my advice is get 100% cotton
>>109060205Cotton towels are great, especially the thick type they use in hotels.Cotton bedsheets not so much, you're better off with synthetics.
>>109060243>Cotton bedsheets not so much, you're better off with synthetics.???????? no way, synthetic sheets are disgusting, and nowhere reputable uses them

people, i got an electric hot water bag fromt he watering game and i haven't used it. i was really nervous about the wiring of the heating element being so close to water but then i also read that these things split after a while so it turns out i wasted an entire month for nothing because i didn't do my research this time around prompted by the fact that it was "free"
I bough a GPU from ebay and just noticed the seller is from china, how fucked am I? is a 32GB v100 and to rub salt on the wound it has been stuck on yanwen of all things.I've gotten lots of hardware from aliexpress before because I know they have my ass covered but ebay seems to fuck sellers and buyers alike.
>>109057425How big is this? Can this, grab a, uh, let’s say small-ish banana and , uh… move it up and down rather fast?
Any way around that age verification censorship in aliexpress?

Why can't I buy huawei phone in evropean-gaynion?Should I just go to china on vacation, and buy it fucking there from store??
>>109060205Just buy it from Ikea, they offer delivery and the items are real to the material you read.
>>109061803chink is doing you a favor, huawei is pain in eu and it's only going to get worse, soon ban on bank apps
>>109061858So, 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.
>>109060293>>109060243Best 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.
>>109061975you can buy it, but don't be fucking suprised when nothing works on itand 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
>>109062008oh and chink huawei have their version of androidprobably anything that needs security won't work on them
>>109062008>>109062039Why should I care about iOS/Google? I really don’t care about zogged garbage.
