I see that as more of a Tilda Swinton role.

I love that their logo is an obvious knockoff of the Yves Saint Laurent font/style. It's like two bootlegs for the price of one!  The original jacket appears to be Alexander McQueen, though.  https://www.matchesfashion.com/us/products/Alexander-McQueen-Satin-sleeve-single-breasted-wool-blazer-1308514

Well this poo poo took a while! Prostormer! Air inflator... I thought this would be compatible with my knockoff stuff already acquired but nope. Might have a go at modifying the next item to change the rails etc for fun.  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001041928095.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3da24c4djyd9ib Makita 18650 cell shell, it's known on a few youtube channels to be be good, just need a spot welder - which I have converted a gasless mig into.  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32846088646.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3da24c4djyd9ib

^^^ I think it's supposed to be compatible with the Dewalt batteries, not Makita, which is why I ended up just getting the Xiaomi self-contained thing. It was like $35 shipped from Spain and arrived in a week   Used it to inflate my winter tires which had been sitting since last winter from around 1.5 back to 1.8bar. It took a few minutes per 15" tire, so I doubt it can do it from completely flat to normal pressure in 6 like they claim, but it's good enough for situations like this, otherwise it's probably faster to just do it when refueling. Also just received my USB 18650 cell.  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32865377399.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.441e5649w5zQSj On the actual battery it says 3800mAh instead of the awkwardly shopped 1500 (which is more likely accurate). I don't have a proper load to test it but I'll try to measure how much charge it takes later. It does work in my flashlight though, so there's that at least. bagual posted:drat this took me places and now i wanna wear chinese cyberpunk fashion mystes posted:Reflective stuff isn't enough even if it's a full body suit because it only works if the car is pointed at you and it won't do anything if, for example, you and a car are coming to the same intersection perpendicular to each other. You need lights.

Hirayuki posted:I like the idea of this kind of rechargeable battery, but sourcing it from Ali scares the poo poo out of me. Is there an easy way to be reasonably certain it won't blow up, potentially also destroying the device it's in? Drain it and if it cuts off decisively at around 2 volts or earlier it's probably got ~some~ kind of protection in it.

Everett False posted:Safety-pin-style is very uncommon for enamel pins, and in my experience is actually surprisingly insecure. Using a second safety pin or sewing the loops (if present) can reinforce those, but nothing is as sturdy as a straight pin with a locking pin back. This kind! Some people prefer the ones that you screw on with a tiny allen wrench, but those actually bend the pin and make it impossible to reconfigure poo poo when you need to move pins around. My jacket and bag are covered in enamel pins and I have never lost one with a locking pin back, though I've lost several badge/button style ones. Here's my pinniest jacket, which hopefully counts as credentials in this matter: How many conversations get started because of that jacket?

People my age and younger generally just say they like my jacket and move on, older ladies will want to have a conversation about Cool Jackets They Have Known, and older men try to be sassy about how much it weighs or how much noise it makes (they might be trying to neg me, I don't know). But none of the pins go flying off! That's the whole point of the locking backs!!

If you break any of those tools though you have to have at least 10 in Perception to find replacements in random drawers. e: What a nice "tissue box cover" for "dispensing tissues": https://www.aliexpress.com/item/329...4%2315176%23810 (cartoonish but possibly awkward for work) King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Dec 31, 2020 |

I’m disappointed that those are actually attached to a jacket. I thought it was just sleeves that you put on to dress up your jacket. Man, Maybe I should get that for the next time “upper management” comes to our location and all us plebs are ordered to dress up. It is a loving call center. And we still have to wear business formal when they come to the office. I think it’s upper management’s way to keep us too stressed out to notice that they are illiterate.

If there’s any thread on the forum that can do it, it’s the Ali thread - is there anywhere I can get hold of the mould for casting a toilet seat/lid with resin?

That's some fairly specific tooling. If you're not looking to make thousands of them you might be better off making your own. Otherwise, more likely to be on Alibaba than AliExpress.

I thought with Alibaba you had to agree to mold 10,000 cast resin toilet seats, though.

If you want a mould they will probably want to sell you an industrial one for injection moulding. I'm not sure if they'd do you a casting mould.

Yeah just take your own toilet seat off and make a mold out of it with some silicone or something
