Trying to buy a microcontroller on @AliExpress_EN. 3 orders and each time the seller said they don't actually have the product and asked me to cancel the order. Yet they still show inventory in their online store. I did get refunded, so that's good.
@AliExpress_EN Then the seller contacts me again and asked me to cancel the refund request through @AliExpress_EN and he will refund me directly. But that nonexistent package is still showing out for delivery. Obviously trying to scam me.
@hispanicnomad You missed a few:
- Institutionalized double pricing (pay 10x price at national parks, many venues, some services denied completely)
- Business ownership and work permits are laughably scammy
You need a strong motivation to want to stay long term.

@bkkdude@RepeatTravels Problem is that to handle different tenses you need additional words. So instead of remembering conjugations you need to remember many different helper words and their usage.
@ThosMajor@R04ch What I love is when you go to the farmers market near closing time and see a seller who hasn't sold most of their veges and they won't discount it but want a higher price to make up for not selling enough!
@AI_in_LEO @Dodger8727 Not only that but, as I'm sure you know, heavy shielding becomes counterproductive due to secondary emissions from cosmic ray strikes. So yeah, limited shielding with limited benefits. Beyond that it's electronics and architecture.
@CooperZurad I'm shopping for a new printer now. Medium quality, nothing too high end. My Creality Ender has served me very well for several years. Not sure why there is so much hate posted online about those. I was considering BambuLab. But now what should I buy. Is Prusa then go to?
@Dan_in_BKK@USEmbassyBKK Thailand is not a member of the International Union of Notaries so notarization by Thai lawyers isn't "real" notarization, although you can get away with it for some things (I did).
