    Amazon is buggin out, anyone know what's wrong? I can't log in, when I do it just takes me back to the home page sogned out.

    I download the app to see if that works. I am logged in but every time I view my cart it says "sorry something went wrong on our end" and a picture of a dog. The weird thing is I was able to view my cart once but after the first time it's just the same error.

    Have I been soft banned from amazon or something??

      Editing … Were you also outraged? I am outraged that people use Amazon. Even Ali express is better nowadays. With Ali express I have a better idea of what I'm actually getting and the reviews actually seem trustworthy. It's still mostly china shit though, but also lots of stuff I would never be able to find anywhere else.

      Editing … Maybe I should create an account on there.. I'd still use Amazon mainly but Ali could be handy for some things. Depends what I'm buying really.

      Editing … It's mainly handy if you need weird stuff from factories that you normally can't buy of if you need something cheap and the quality isn't that important. I also like the factory reject things that can't be used for their original purpose, but they still look cool as hell like full circular silicone wafers. You could have one of those over your mantelpiece or something. They look really pretty.

      Editing … The way I see it you're going to find aliexpress quality products no matter where you shop. It's better to have more options and find decent items that suit your needs best rather than being hung up on whether a certain product meets a chain store's "quality standards" (which is hilarious) or whether imaginary safety standards are being met. Also I think we are alike as I have a knack for using things not for their original purpose. Sometimes when I have a particular use case that a product doesn't yet exist for I try to think of various objects that currently do exist and are sold that would fit the bill, and repurpose them.

      Editing … "The way I see it you're going to find aliexpress quality products no matter where you shop. " Sadly yes. I've seen many identical products sold here on the Dutch amazon-like web store and if I go on aliexpress I can find the same product for literally 5 times cheaper. "quality standards" are important though for for certain things. Like electrical parts, if you repair a device with a faulty part that just does not correctly adhere or seal an electrical wire, you could really set things on fire. So if you really need something to perform well over time and not degrade rapidly, the only thing you can really trust is established high quality brands sold in stores.

      Editing … They make dry erase notebooks. Holy cow!! I'll take ten!! But on the other hand.. getting them to stay flat might be annoying. The way they're designed, I imagine the book will be teetering along the spine in a half open position unless you place something on both pages to weigh them down.

      Editing … I cannot stand the feel of paper. Brown paper bags are fine though. (The surface of them have more of a textured feel which I guess I tolerate better?) I was considering buying paper bags in bulk and drawing on them.
