Yeah funny you say that, zip ties are something I never cheap out on. At least not after buying cheap one a couple decades ago, I learned my lesson.

Home Depot has some great zip ties and each time I use them, I get a small dopamine surge of joy.

It's just one of those things in life where quality matters.

AliExpress also sells high quality niche items if you know how to find them. I agree the site is drowning in crap, but at least coming from Canada, it often has things amazon.ca simply doesn't sell... or anywhere else in the world at a price that isn't prohibitive.

Just like most places on the Internet, using the site is a skill that needs to be developed.

That was a good read with him documenting and sharing everything.

You think Lemmy has free speech? Some major mods here are quite liberal in controlling exactly what speech and ideas they allow their uses to be exposed to, and that is how it will always be by those desiring power over others.

That was one of th better commercials I've seen in the last couple decades, I found myself pulling for them.

It was a little silly and over the top, which was the goal. I think they nailed it. But it wouldn't be modern day without offended people running interference.

Funny one. I even read it the totally predatory way at first

I really should have done that. I replace capacitors in monitors and do other bits of soldering, including making my own audio cables. Seems like a natural extension. I bet I still have those mice in a storage tub.
