I have a pretty small house (by English standards, so for you yanks it's probably the size of your average fridge or something). It's...ok? I have a small garden. That helps. Luckily I can order tacky shite off AliExpress to keep me sane.

Is this also the "can you help me find something on aliexpress" thread? My kid got a stomp rocket junior for his birthday, and it comes with 4 rockets. Currently we are at 2 rockets. They go onto the roof, over the fence, etc. One is known dead as some rodent chewed it up in the neighbors yard before we could get it back 24 hours later. We've been as low as 0 rockets until a strong breeze blew them off the roof.  Official refills are $3/ea. The only thing I've found on AliExpress are also $3+ each. This seems like something I should be able to find compatible rockets for on the cheap (<=$1/ea in sufficient quantity?) They don't need to glow, just launch. Any tips or tricks? I've tried various forms of "foam rocket", "stomp rocket", etc. https://smile.amazon.com/Junior-Stomp-Rocket-Glow-Refill/dp/B005461RKM/

Tried "nerf rocket", noticed they were using "eva" for a keyword. That led me to "Eva rocket" which had a bunch of listing like this one https://a.aliexpress.com/_dZdffGB It has rocket refills for $0.55, however they are sold out. Its possible the factory only re-tools to make them once a year or something. So you could try contacting a few sellers as see if they are coming back in stock at some point.

^^^ It's exactly what it sounds like, 5-dick phone case, etc. Some items are just not economical to buy from Ali. The rockets look pretty large so maybe they're expensive to ship. 3D Megadoodoo posted:70 m2 is fine for a couple with one small kid.

Just quoting the original pic again because the "is 70 m too small" debate seems to have missed that this is a 4 bedroom house. 753 square feet is fine for a 2 bedroom place, but I don't see how it could be 4 bedrooms unless there is no livingroom at all. Maybe the 70m is the footprint, not the total floor space?

Size matches roughly too, I need to go measure mine. mobby_6kl posted:Some items are just not economical to buy from Ali. The rockets look pretty large so maybe they're expensive to ship. This is sort of what I assumed and why I thought ali would be the way to go. They're like 8" tall and ~1.5" OD plus the fins which I'm ignoring for now since they should pack together fine. I would rather spend $100 to buy 100 than $21 to buy 7. Then I can launch them at my neighbors with impunity.

Given you can buy unbranded nerf darts for pennies (in gigantic packs too) on AliExpress it's just a matter of finding the right seller.

There's a guy who lives in a camper and he just parks it next to the pub or the park (now that pubs are closed) and does weed and cocaine in there and only comes out for beer. He's a loving jerk though.

It's not a life hack thing, but it is kind of a tiny house thing? The lack of space isn't bad, though, because I have it to myself. I'm sure the families with like 5 kids who live in a schoolbus are fully losing their poo poo.

I've got a lovely Italian intercom (2wire) that just picks up am radio so is a glorified gate open button. Does anyone have any idea if there's any good intercoms you can get on AliExpress? The wire run is quite long (around 30m) but they've used 4-wire cable As long as it runs on the existing 12v source for the indoor unit it shouldn't be too much effort to install Local installers seem to only be interested in installing cellphone based intercoms, which is a huge overkill plus monthly cost for how little it gets used.

Red/black is a 12v power supply (buried in the wall, it doesn't pop out in the ceiling with the green bundle) Red/blue heads to the street for the gate I was actually looking up the wiring diagrams for this unit and it seems that all six wires are meant to be connected, so perhaps the installer was just a moron.
