I thought you were in russia?

Nope, Detroit.

For this you probably need to talk to a freight forwarding company and pick it up from a warehouse or port yourself

Detroit is America's Russia

I don't think that's how that works.

maybe try a importer service for cars? it exists for japanese cars

I'm not sure how else you're supposed to get something that big shipped at a reasonable price

I meant that Detroit wasn't America's Russia

Oh

Well, "reasonable" and "cheap" are two different things

No it pretty much is

How's that?

Economically depressed urban zone with terrible weather.

Anyway, how much are you planning to spend for shipping?

I mean, the engine is $600, have no problem doubling that or a little more if I have to.

how much does an engine weigh?

Probably 300 lbs

It's almost entirely aluminum, and it's only a 4 cylinder

If you're doing an engine swap anyway why not use the opportunity to have something you can reasonably find parts for?

And, uh, what do you need it for, that you can't use a local engine?

Probably a ZMZ 402

Gaz 22 Volga, that I own. Still has the original engine. Want to build a turbo version, just because I can. but figure I'll build the turbo version NOT using the numbers-matching engine.

That looks like a boat of a car

ZMZ is the name of an engine manufacturer, so, close.

Meh

Close enough

Where did you even find that?

Moscow?

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

Is it a boat

Actually, about 60 miles east of Moscow

🤔

It's very slow. 2.4L 4 cylinder that stock produced 75hp, 3 on the tree with no overdrive. it's got a top speed of 75mph, and a cruising speed of about 55

How many bakelite mags did you manage to stow in the seat?

Friends asked me to bring them back parts for their guns. I refused. Enough tension with an import from Russia that I didn't need more of it

Pussy.

Fair enough, did you at least hook them up with Russian contacts?

If you can afford to import a boatcar, you can afford to bribe customs.

boatcar?

It's not that big of a car

and the car itself only cost me like $2000.

and is cool and pretty rare, actually

I can't imagine the shipping process is that much different than a full car

a full car is easy

can just give it to a shipping company to drive it into a boat, and drive it back off the boat at a destination.

getting a company to ship an engine is far more difficult.

I originally was just going to get another engine from Russia. but I searched around on Taobao and found entire complete engines brand new and thought "That would be interesting. I wonder how to get them. Someone must know."

Any reason for someone to not purchase an anycubic i3 mega?

You won't use it and makerspaces are plenty?

No makerspaces in my city but there are commercial 3d printing services

Had a few reasons to use but defo wont be on 24/7

I mean in terms of quality we're getting to a point where every sub 500 thing is basically the same and you gotta fiddle with finetuning and heating anyway. After that it just comes down to do you have disposable money and do you want it..

Yeah, DLP stuff like the Anycubic photon looks appealing but i don't want to mess with toxic stuff and decent FDM quality will be enough for me.

Are knockoff wireless receivers for 360 controllers still shit, or is it safe to buy cheap Chinese ones now?

i got a TTX tech one from micro center a long time ago that works flawlessly

dunno if you can buy those cheap online yet, i know they just import chinese controllers and shit. Back when i bought it years ago it was like 20 bucks because the genuine ones were still 40

also, do yourself a favor and get Xpadder (legitimately or not)

fucking miracle program

For what?

Ooh. Will it let me setup dead-zones? Because a lot of games don't implement those, leading to drift.

guys do you reccomended me the Xiaomi Mi 9?

what phone do you have right now?

Samsung Galaxy S3

i buyed it when was released

<:sadmitu:331056421342806026>

@Magna depends where you live

Got this $2.50 phone charger today that has two 2.1 amp ports and one QC 3.0. Surprisingly it works, but it gets extremely hot when in use. Would not leave unattended.

Why

Why is this a thing

so you can feed your cat unbranded materials

mmmmmm

steamed hams

Jesus... keeping a US power plug that close to exposed flesh is fucking terrifying.

@kontroll What?

I ordered a bunch of pencil lead, because they were cheap, came in pretty colors, the vendor sends random colors, and I wanted all the colors. What I didn't realize is that each quantity was actually 2pcs, and that it's all actually normal grey lead, but with a pretty sheen when it's in full pieces. So now I have a fucking retail display box of shitty lead.

c h i n k e d

I ordered the keyboard @Tribit posted some time ago in <#287939846662651906>

@novotny?

@bentech Italy

@Tribit ??

I'm just looking forward to it

Oooh I don't recall which keyboard

Royal Kludge RK61

Oh k cool

Good make

got it for 24 eurodollaridoos in the anniversary sale

Nice

Chink switches tho

nothing wrong if you like how they feel friend

for only $30 you don't much say anyway

anyone got more coupons or codes?

Try code ALI through web

$5 discount on $10 or more

can't use coupon and discount at the same time

on android app or desktop

but you can on fapple phones

I gotta get a iphone emulator too

Worked for on website

But didn’t on iOS app

This code expired it said

oh right, I'm stupid

the code expired

I was waiting for a last minute deal like the last time. you know the 50 off 100

that was damn cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si_YyZRpvJ8 Chink lenses are getting good

Soviet lenses were good before it was cool

Soviets had some good shit

@timsandtoms yes the deadzone fine tuning is the best part of xpadder

Yeah zenitco is pretty great as far as lenses go

Just bought for 100$ worth of chink stuff

Roast me

Retard

@StickyDonutHoles That's a good start.

And before that I bought my Redmi Note 7 for 253 dollars

@StickyDonutHoles

I don't have that anywhere

At least I don't think so

It was on the app a couple weeks back

I had less than half that order count and was still in like the 96th percentile i think

Weird

I think a lot of people don't realize how bad ordering from Ali is vs something like Amazon, or they make an account, lose it, and then make another.

Also 150 is still a LOT of orders.

On a /csg/ related note to what's happening in <#531212403858472967>, any suggestions for cheap chink shit for organizing taps, dies, and spare drill bits? I have a label-maker and weaponized autism.

So what you do is

Take a block of wood

and drill into it with each bit

Stick the bits in the wood when not in use

Was kinda hoping there would be a knockoff Huot index or something, but might just stick with that.

Has anyone bought AliExpress microSD cards before?

I bought 2 of these and they're kind of suspiciously cheap

But the store has good feedback at least

I bought aego so card and regretted a lot

<@&228616539916468224> u reel funny guy

@timsandtoms Well I actually have some advice

If I remember correctly, you can buy boxes/organizers with magnets in them

To keep the parts sorta locked in

So they don't fall away or go missing

ALSO CHINESE SHOPPING GENERAL?

THIS IS THE WORST APRIL FOOLS JOKE

@StickyDonutHoles don't encourage them, smh

IM GONNA ENCOURAGE YOU TO RUN A MILE, FATTCHEW

@soddomist how did you regret it?

It’s works partly so I can’t open dispute

@StickyDonutHoles Don't wanna magnetize bits, keeps metal shavings on the bit fucking up edges. Good idea for wood bits though.

I like the name change, now I can actually show deals to my normie friends

Is there a fast way to import all my Ali tracking stuff into 17Track?

no

Fuck

Why do bugmen try to have a sense of humor? Just ship my shit, Chang

gifted my glassbreaker pen to my driving instructor cause i won't be seeing him for a while <:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

@onoderaSecurity glassbreaker pens are the truest expression of friendship ☺

Might as well be called icebreaker

fuck you mods

how dare you delete the nsfw and rename to chinese shopping

Mods are on Ali payroll :P

Also is the APR1 Code an April fools as well?

Yes

It doesn't work

Nice, double chinked

Anybody happen to know where to get high quality Polo shirts with a Linux logo?

So you can look good while getting bullied?
Anyways you can just search on aliexpress. No idea about the quality but they have a lot of distros etc

searching for "linux polo" is giving me a lot of results

or search for custom ones

@swiss guy redbubble

This came today <:miclick:527149623609917451>

Nice Chinese version

I-is it vendor rom

idk man look up the MIUI version

@vee dubber RN7 is better

Got this leather pocket protector today

Nice color, doesn't seem to rub off easily.

Almost as tight as moderator ass if they weren't raging homosexuals.

Why the fuck do you drive a Kia?

@StickyDonutHoles you really need to try better to not shitpost in not shitpost channels

It's an honest question

Seeing as Kia is not Chinese

Rather

It is chinese quality™ <:alismirk:230784726615588865> <:aliOK:251417852156837888>

It's korean

>Inb4 muh manufacturing locations
So does everyone else

Bought a custom picture frame on taobao. 60 元. Didn't think about that it was a fairly large metal thing. Shipping: 290元

On the other hand, if it's a nice quality thing, it's actually still cheaper than it would have been to get one here.

does anyone know of some good chink leather/fake leather rolls?

Has anyone bought one of those phone magnifiers?

Better question: Has anyone bought a lens for their phone

I took out a plastic lens from a Chinese 35mm camera, glued it to a toothpick and used it for macro

does it count

I have a 6x or 8x phone lens from China

It's ok

Could be better

Is xiaomi having a sale on the 4th?

Why would they?

They're celebrating the release of the note 7 and other things on the indonesian online store.

Hmm

They had some other events on april 4th before from what I've searched.

<:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

M'chink

@Matthew you know how they make cheap leather stuff? Take the offcuts, shred them up, glue together and then stamp a pattern

It's real leather

But not

Nice. This thing feels really nice and it was only $2, so I don't mind

Look at the end grain

Yeah it still looks dope

Just a TIL

@swiss guy some sellers will do custom designs on tshirts or polo

put back the old discord icon you gay chinks

muh flat

design

man these leather boots are COMFY

also since I got rubber tippys on them they do not click clack

anyone know of a metal protector plate?

looking for sauna-proof phone

@gecho obviously nokia 3310 <:blobthinkingfast:427569198886027264>

iirc any android is configed to quit on -20 to + 50*C range

dunno on ios top ambient to them is 35

but lowest temp `

"Hello, I'm looking to bring my miniature computer with a fragile display and a pouch full of unstable, hazardous chemicals into a sauna."

you would need to vacubag the phone tho to prevent condensation

i wonder how C1-01 could survive on sauna

i know it quits its functions around negative 50 celsius or so

but above 35*c heat is probly killer to 90+% of the phones if outright does not prevent it from booting most likely hinders its lifetime by exponential curve

Saunas are gay

Why would you bring your phone into a sauna

Are you a finn or something

@kontroll would it work in a mini fridge? desperate

😣

just enjoy the fucking sauna without your phone
