What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...

I got some nice keycaps when I was building my first mechanical keyboard. Aside from that… Soldering gear, 3D printer parts… Cat toys, preflashed smart bulbs (so I can use them completely locally with home assistant), magnets… And generally any time I see something on Amazon that clearly is just rebranded Chinese stuff, and I don’t need it quickly, I can find it on there for a fraction of the price.

Yeah, I use their OBS version since I had a few issues with OBS and the normal one. My cat likes to sleep on my computer and I needed another camera to point at her when streaming… And then I realised I didn’t need to buy one because I had old phones with good cameras in my desk drawer. Just got a cheap mount to hold my old xiaomi mi 9 SE. Looks fantastic, works well.

Does Marijuana Make Anybody Pass Out Like Me?

I’ve never been a big user, but as I’ve grown older, pot has made me pass out more than once. I took a drag off of a joint at a festival a few years ago and passed out and couldn’t be revived for 5-10 minutes. They said my blood pressure dropped dramatically. I’m wondering if this happens to anybody else

Never used it myself, but my mother has told me when she was much younger she tried pot a few times and stopped because it just put her to sleep, and this was well before the strong strains we have today.

Was far more than just sleepy. She’d zonk out immediately.

Not a lie, have a good relationship with my mum. Still holds true when she had some in Amsterdam again recently. 😅

I never have enough socks. I always need more socks. Fun ones, though.

They have these on bluesky. You can subscribe to them. I mostly use them for blocking niche content I’m not interested in… That and the susprising amount of dick pics.

I tried over 20 Steam Next demos so that you don't have to!

And I’ve rated them all below. I’m very glad Steam decided to do a big promotional event around them- it helped point me toward a lot of games I would have never tried/heard of otherwise. Some of the good ones might not be good the entire game, but they were at least good in the demo....

Absolutely adored robocop and cobalt core. Definitely picking up both of them. Robocop nailed everything that made the movie great, cobalt core oozed charm and had fun gameplay.

I had meant to try the thaumaturge but by the time I got around to it, next fest was over and I couldn’t play the demo anymore. These time limited demos are a really stupid idea. I’m way less likely to buy it now because those sorts of games are hit or miss for me.

I’m on vyvanse, and I’ll frequently forget to eat. Setting reminders or alarms really helps. I outsource a lot of my memory to my phone and smartwatch. Sometimes I will just have nothing but a couple of lattes and then notice it’s 10pm and I haven’t eaten a proper meal. At least theres energy there from the full cream milk, but still, not good…

Just don’t forget how effective the meds are, especially if you’re prone to depression. I once stopped taking them when I was majorly depressed, and sometime after that I was helping my dad at his workplace, digitising records for him. I found some of my old Ritalin (not expired yet) and decided to try it again, and the difference in how many records I got to was like night and day, it was seriously like 5× the amount. Since then I’ve bounced around a few different meds and dosages before recently settling on vyvanse, which has the strongest effect but least side effects of them all for me. Ritalin was probably the strongest but had the most unpleasant side effects for me.

SMS is not going anywhere on a global scale and removing SMS meant everyone I had convinced to install signal because it was a drop-in messaging replacement for SMS has immediately stopped using signal. It’s now completely DOA for anyone that isn’t a tech privacy evangelist.

I’m not American and it’s still widely used in my country.

Removal of SMS was a brain-dead move.

I find using a timer on a smart watch or yelling at a voice assistant works for keeping me on task.

If I dont… Well, the other day I found some cold cinnamon donuts I had been heating up in the air fryer.

I was planning to change my sub recently with a VPN but then I realised I already have YouTube premium and YouTube music already has everything I listen to, so I just cancelled.

Nice of them to fully cement my decision.

@Starayo@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but I use YouTube a hell of a lot more, and also I don’t pay in USD.

The only way I’m able to get anything done is by externalising my memory. I just make sure I have reminders on a smartwatch so that they forcibly are brought to my attention even if I’m away from my PC/phone.

Directly on the watch: timers, alarms. Via the watch: calendar events and the like whose notifications get picked up by the watch. Have to be proactive about blocking useless notifications though.

I have an Android phone and a galaxy watch 4, not sure how equivalents work on Apple.

Not at the moment. I would love to run lineageOS, etc, but I keep buying phones they don’t support, and at this stage, most of the things I used to need rooting for are no longer as necessary for me.
