Received my new Ulefone ruggedised phone. :)

Wrapped in 2 layers of bubblewrap and cardboard. You'd think they would have just stuck a label on it.

The helmet market is getting out of hand.

AU 2017 Foray Helmet - Matte White/Silver | Torpedo7 NZ

I picked up a bike helmet from a vending machine in Melbourne a few years ago.
They had a state sponsored safety campaign at tge time.
Seems like every other normal helmet construction wise.
It cost $5 - so I bought 2.

For people not aware of this, there's a site called the Daily W T F specifically for posting stuff like this, I can't post a link because of the keyword filter but google the name, go to "Submit your W T F", select "Error'd" as the type, and post away.

I was going to say it's not that weird because you'd still save by buying it in a physical shop, then I clicked the link and read "online exclusive". W T F for sure.

I know there's some pretty weird things on Ali in general, typically in the plushies section, but this, whatever it is is pretty special:

It's a PCI/PCI-X, um, recycled capacitor dumping graveyard?

This should really go here Ethernet switch for audiophiles - review (geekzone.co.nz) - it would complement that thread nicely.

Almost as bad as Bunnings wanting $150 to deliver two bits of plastic.

Naah, what happens is that Alfred E. Bunning turns up at your door in person with a silk cushion on which are the bits of plastic.

This makes it even more illogical, $45 delivery for 16 sheets of roofing.

Love the name. Armour steel implies it's strong but at 0.4 mm it's thinner than the thinnest colour steel.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21
