  1. Lepin from AliExpress, without a photograph or a box but with a nice gift, and seemingly a coupon?
    Here's a nice fragment of the details:

    The description is of course all in Comic Sans, which makes it seem more professional, naturally, but I doubt the credibility of this part:

    Especially after seeing the top Google results for the material used - but that I guess is not for discussion here, as it might be controversial. ;)

  2. I looked it up, because of course I did, acrylonitril-butadieen-styreen (ABS) Does not seem to be that bad at first glace, It's termoplastic, which means it is recyceleble, and is very commonly used, which means a lot of testing should have been done on it.
    For a reference on how it feels and all that: It is the type of plasic Lego bricks and usually key kaps are made out of. It also is the plastic used to 3D printing (forshadowing)
    ABS is relatively harmless in that it doesn't have any known carcinogens, and there are no known adverse health effects related to exposure to ABS, that having said It's not food or body safe - you should not make cutlery or implants out of it. It also is not eviromentally friendly, because it is a plastic: of course it is not.
    It has a good resitance to Acids and Alcalis, but a poor one to Alcohols, Aromatic hydrocarbon and Haloalkanes.
    You should not heat it to above roughly 400 degree celcius, as then it can decmpose into butadiene and acronitrile, which respectivly are bad and probably not good for you.

    What you also should not do is use it in any way for anything that might enter your body, or stomage in particular. enter your bodey, because there are some acids in your stomage that make it decompose in some very bad stuff. Has this been done? of course it has. It is a very cheap and easy to manufacture plastic, and also is slightly above average when it comes to envoiremental damage for a plastic.

    That is why you do proper research before you decide what material to use when making something...

    Anyway :p

  3. Here's a nice picture of a train, just ignore the first number (sorry 607 :D)

    I'll also include an 'official' picture with the number below. :)

  4. Help, Tim's second link doesn't seem to be an image (what's webp?), and Rhu's image doesn't include the number either, as numbers do not have dashes in the middle of 'em. :p

  5. Tim's is for me, it reads 15041 clearly. Maybe a web browser thing?
    But, indeed, the beacon king didn't get the memo :p
  6. Huh, you're right, it displays right away on my pc.

    I guess iOS 10 doesn't support it.

    Anyway, in that case... have another screenshot. :)



  7. It took me a while to find the number there! I was just about to ask if you checked the rules... ;) :oops:

  8. Finally! :D
    I didn't want to use an uninteresting picture and I wasn't content with taking a screenshot of an image that didn't have the number in it, although I opened some in new tabs in case I wouldn't find something better.
    But my perseverance was rewarded. :D

    From Taiwan. Do you think there's any purpose to the football on a stick, or is it just for the sake of novelty?...
  9. They do indeed look funny :D
    I did some research and found out they are named "Football-Form Ice Water Bottle-CB-15049". So I guess you can put the stick with the ball in a freezer and enjoy a cooled drink later.

  10. Nice palindromic number, nice to type too. :D



    And Minitrix. :D

  11. I converted the image to PNG and reuploaded it, so now you should be able to see it properly :)
