It does seem like the camera one would work if you wanted to go that route though. It doesn’t seem that pricy

Yeah, I'd probably give it a go but from that link posted above about troubleshooting rf interference the radio signal will still be a problem with a different unit.

I also guessed that the transformer was tucked away somewhere accessible, so you couldn't run an extra earth wire there and use that. Try the home automation thread, they might have ideas on how to resolve it. I'd guess the unused terminals are for a keypad and internal door release that you aren't using.

My tellurium got in! A couple sources say that if you ingest tellurium, you will smell so bad that you will basically be forced to kill yourself to escape from the odor. I think that's probably exaggerated, so I grabbed a 10 gram ingot, supposedly 99.999% pure. The ingot itself doesn't smell like anything, but it got partially crushed in transit and after opening the bag I've got a headache... I also got a 1 cm cube of tungsten from the same shop, and it's awesome. It's over 19 grams, and it's got super sharp edges. I want to get more element sample cubes over time, but even from Aliexpress they're not cheap - usually like $5-15 for the cheap elements and then thousands for some of the rare ones.

Tellurium itself doesn't stink. It's when ingested it gets converted into dimethyl telluride your body slowly sweats out. That's what stinks. If you look at the periodic table, tellurium is in the same group as sulfur, so it forms similar compounds. Even inhaling small amounts of vapor gives you "garlic breath", while ingesting it leads to weeks of reeks.

Spiral staircase as the only connection to more than 20% of the living space would get you the stink eye in a lot of jurisdictions. That layout is even worse than some of the small ships I've spent too much of my life on.

Yup. I got snookered on that one. It looked like it was the actual one with the samples embedded. Turned out it was printed on clear sheet. One of my early mistakes, before I found out about refunds.

Has anyone bought any of the Lepin fake lego sets? What's the general quality like and what's some good sets to buy? Looking for a fairly big build to keep me a bit occupied during this quarantine. Though I realise by the time it arrives this will probably be over.

I got a friend of mine one of those "Enlighten" brand knockoff Lego sets, perhaps the best set to buy That's right, the assassination of Lego Hitler  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000108138809.html I think the vendor I bought it from is no longer available, this one is a different listing for the same item. It's not a very big set, though. If you want a big build it's not a great choice. Anyway, from what he said about the set, it of course wasn't as high-quality as proper Lego. He said he wouldn't want to mix up the knockoff bricks with real Lego, but it seemed okay enough otherwise. He's also kind of a purist for Lego, and good about creative builds, so I mostly got him the set just to get him a Lego Hitler.

It was missing a few small parts and the English on the stickers was all wrong, but other than that everything was fine. The pieces looked perfect and snapped together well. There was nothing wrong with the manual.

Yeah, I'm not sure about it, either; it just seems like it's the same product as this, which does have reviews, as well as better photos. The listing does speak of "samples", so it should actually have more than a photograph... but, this is AliExpress, so buyer beware

Looking for a fairly big build to keep me a bit occupied during this quarantine. Though I realise by the time it arrives this will probably be over. This just got posted in the LEGO thread. OSU_Matthew posted:Nope, I’ve been burned there. Same with ali express, most listings are aspirational and don’t actually post what’s in inventory, which is a problem with sets like that which haven’t been manufactured in awhile. They will sit on your order, possibly for months because they’re unable to get it themselves and you’ll have to fight for a refund and drag out the process with fake tracking numbers, or they’ll substitute it with a shittier brand like lele or bela. Not a big fan of either platform. Plus you’re paying separately for shipping there, which brings their prices over most other places. Lepin as a brand is dead, after the raid last year the remnants were rebranded as King/Queen. Gobricks also makes high quality bricks for Mould King & Sembo/SY among others.

Now that I think about it, it may not have been missing parts. Some of the greebles, I think the binoculars, were a little loose, so I ordered authentic LEGO replacements for a few bucks.
