yixing teaware is made from a specific type of clay named after the region where it's gotten and is unglazed

because it's unglazed it absorbs the taste of tea you brew in it

so if you say, brew oolongs in it

then suddenly brew a pu-erh, green or black

you're going to have your tea with a distinct oolong taste

absorbing taste is one of their charm points

plus trust me the unglazed clay surface is really pleasant to touch

but yeah a normal glazed cup is more all-purpose

today on "russian postal service is fucking useless"

is old samshit really that much better than new chinkshit

I despise my samsung laptop

it's such a pain to disassemble

why isn't the blu R1 on ali?

not on goibest either

oh it's an amazon exclusive k

the time/money argument is really dumb

because when you're resting you wouldn't be working anyway

the only time the time/money argument works if you're self-employed

or work at home

dammit

how was this coupon shit supposed to work again

isn't a wireless gaming mouse an oxymoron

input lag and all

bought 2 IEMs, over-ears, redmeme 4A and a google cardboard set

isn't the mi max alright

wait that's a phablet isn't it

not a full tablet

spider repellent

but idk

autism cubes/spinners appear to be the hot new meme

ooh, backpack talk

I'm curious too

I onyl really have a massive duffle bag I bought in China because I needed a backpack and I needed it right away

It's pretty good, but can be too massive and the thing itself doesn't hold shape which can be both good and bad

@gggeeee I just finished my internship in the Far East that summer, still had 3 days until my plane back home and the city right across the border required no visas or other complicated procedures to enter

there was no reason NOT to cross the border

plus I've never been abroad until then

I bought some decent chinkshit there

oh man let me just tell you about how that city works

from around 4-5 AM till 9 AM

they close off a bunch of streets

and vendors swarm onto them

so for 5 hours this particular street turns into one massive marketplace

it was really enjoyable

also christ chinks love to haggle IRL

I'm pretty sure that if you don't haggle you're assumed to be the worst kind of naive idiot

cut off stuff after html

rip

@nervousShaqsh when you link ru.aliexpress.com it switches the language for the guy who opens it to russian until he switches it back

такие дела

yeah if he doesn't really care you can get the 4A

I got one for my mum just yesterday

is it the dismembered miku from the thread

I've been considering getting one of the Dragon Momoko kits

for the tallgeese or one of the SEED MGs

but I don't think they're that much cheaper compared to the real ones

as long as it's not sader-tier

you're alright

Boy what a steal!

I've never tried taobao

I've heard it's an obscure model paradise though

especially for weird resin kits

ordered those Yenonas

they're on the infographic so they'd better be good

so how much shit'd you lads buy on the (((sale)))

who has windows in their toilet

y'know

while browsing through the phone deals

on the anniversary sale

I looked at Samsung's uh

J1, was it

something like that

what the actual fuck are these specs

how is it allowed to make a phone with 0.75 GIGS OF RAM IN 2017

Just a sec

http://aliexpress.com/item/-/1000003809105.html

there should be a /yu/ combo

large companies don't appear to be capable

of doing budget phones

@Phatique that'd be boring

it should do something else

like have the battery melt through the floor

like thermite

that'd be rad

why can't

Xiaomi

get its fucking camera software work properly

don't xiaomi phones use pretty nice sensors?

I must say

upgrading to a new phone after a phone I've had since the middle of 2013

was like jumping a few years

well I mean technically it was

but fuck my old phone was such garbage

quite well-designed, but still garbage

I'll miss its design though

the curve

was extremely comfy in the hand
