I'm deciding between 2 knives, the Ganzo G727m or G729. If I am indifferent about the look, is there any reason to pay a few bucks more for the G729? Is the blade or construction known to be any better? The G729 does look slightly more comfortable to hold, anything other than this?

Pls respond

Hello RegularOP. Do you do anything with your day besides camp this general so you can be ready to post a new thread the second the old one hits bump limit? Do you consider this to be a productive use of your time?
Elijah Myers
Time to get chinked
Andrew Edwards
Woow, its actually alright, thanks Mao
Gavin Green
RegularOP is probably a paid shill of any of the major online retailers and/or brands. Also, I'll hazard a guess that most of the regulars ITT are yurofags since most burgers would just pay the extra $2-5 for a comparable item on ebay (N.A. sellers) or amazon for a quicker delivery and easier return.
Luis Peterson
Both seem okay.
Get the cheaper one first and if it's not good enough, try the other cheap knife?
I'd tend to get the 727M-BK first by shape and size anyhow. It's a little more sensible shape for a tool knife if you ask me.
Kayden Jackson
Reminder that a 1$ money clip is useful in the event of a mugging to give up your cash without giving away your entire wallet with ID, cards, etc in it if you live in a shitty location.
Landon Hill
I got the g727m when it was on sale for $10. Pretty good knife.
Michael Walker
I can get the Honor 8 for ~$305 with a 12 month contract to a pretty decent carrier (best value contracts in the market etc), should I do it? A chinkphone with proper warranty and service is very tempting. It's the 4GB 32GB variant.
where do you live dude that you need to think of shit like this?
Ryder Price
Welcome back RegularOP
Michael Smith
> A chinkphone with proper warranty and service is very tempting. Not really.
And more so not at this price where you could get 2 pretty good Chinkphones already before the contract.
> best value contracts in the market etc Say your own calculations including budget providers? Or some faggot advertorial on the verge or something?
Grayson Campbell
>RegularOP is probably a paid shill It's a sad state of affairs that this is a more comforting thought than the idea that someone out there is sad enough to sit in this general all day, every day, waiting to create a new thread as soon as possible, for no reason other than personal satisfaction.
Juan Moore
My own calculations, I'd probably get their 2GB contract even if I didn't bother with a contract phone.
Gavin Cooper
Nah I've lived in Norway they are the best. But honor costs more now not worth buying IMO
Pic of me trying this xiaomimeme unlock hell. Going to wait a week like Pajeet suggested
Isaac Bell
>shills are better than autistic Sup Forums-tier retards like that fat fuck from >portugal As long as they give me good prices I am ok with this >Xiaomi the money >[RAUGHS]
Adam Edwards
I agree but where do you think we are?
Anthony Lopez
Then I guess at least that end is worth it?
I still think the Honor 8 might not be.
Juan Ramirez
What's the best chinkphone in its specs range then?
Christian Nguyen
Fixed windows 10 unlock drivers. Now all I am waiting for is Xiaomi pushing their unlock shit to the servers. It seems they forgot or are slow as hell.
Kevin Gray
> Nah I've lived in Norway they are the best. I'm not sure I understand the website correctly, but > $700 for 12m on a 2GB contract seems expensive.
I'm personally just being a cheap ass and paying like $50 / year phone/SMS costs on a pay-for-use prepaid.
Adam Parker
I don't. Someone else posted it a few months ago and I figured it would be useful to remind /csg/ since some of you live in third world countries, second world countries, inner cities, sweden or germany.
Money clips otherwise look like hipster bullshit or something only a drug dealer would use. Knowing that they have a practical usage is useful.
Alexander Parker
The phone is 2800 NOK, the contract is 199kr per month. It's cheaper to pay for the phone upfront than getting it financed.
Luis Myers
Norway is a very very expensive country. In Russia I have 500 minutes, 200 SMS and 10 GB data for 6 dollars a month. No contract, pre-paid card..
Juan Jenkins
We haven't actually established specs.
I mostly just start with the assertion that the usual $150-ish suspects from these threads - redmeme, leeco, nubia, lower end honor will run / store anything you need them to just fine.
Logan Miller
Try /spg/ but I recommend doing further research with phones they recommend because fanboys.
Jonathan Thompson
In Finland I have unlimited 3g for 5€
Joseph Nguyen
Guys i need to lower the speed of my bathroom fan that is 15W ~230V 50Hz
Not surprising. These lease-purchases on cell phones don't usually seem to be offered for the sake of good customer service, but for loan shark-like profits.
I think Switzerland is overall even more expensive. But maybe we have more cheap options for phone contracts...?
Not as cheap/good as what you just mentioned, though. That one does sound quite amazing!
I pay 130chf per month for unlimited 4g, unlimited minutes (including international calls to the rest of the EU) and unlimited sms. Also get my home internet 30chf per month cheaper because i have mobile service.
Cooper Jones
Thats pretty standard for 3g contracts isnt it
Jeremiah Williams
> 3V-35V rated > on 230V device What do *you* think?
Henry Nguyen
thank you! aliexpress search sucks.
Jack Butler
how often do you think don nailed her pink puckered anus?
I know you *can* pay 1560 per year for all these unlimited minutes of 4kB/s phone call connections.
And no surprise they "allow" you to pay them again for your home internet. 30 less? That's twice as much as the cheapest home internet connections cost, they must be very generous! Oh wait, they're just selling you another 40+/month offer and hope you're not loading their more bandwidth restricted antenna so much with your "unlimited" internet.
[Not saying you can't do this, but it's certainly not really thrifty, and it'd be odd to be convinced by your operator that they're giving you anything "cheaply". They're not.]
I got 1gbit symmetrical line, so I'm not complaining about the service, and the price is based on Swiss wages being 4-5 times higher than elsewhere.
Jose Sanders
horry shit, that's amazing
Benjamin Sanchez
lol
Jordan Morgan
>mixza shark >that video perfect
Ayden Gonzalez
Lmao.
Daniel Howard

Ayden Clark

Nathaniel Morris
Amazing, almost a shame I bought Samsung EVO+ over a shark #gookmasterrace
Landon Perez
> I got 1gbit symmetrical line If you had that during most of the day with low latencies on that 130CHF/month phone contract, it'd almost be worth it.
But I figure it's the cabled contract at home? Yea, that's no surprise now that strands of fiber can carry terrabits of data every second.
[Would be only marginally surprising if you had a gbit even far away across undersea lines.]
> and the price is based on Swiss wages being 4-5 times higher than elsewhere The radio / telecom equipment mostly gets made as cheaply as always on the global market, installed and operated by at most 1.5-2 times better paid people, taxed lower than in many places, and just in no way explains the remainder of the extra cost until you get to the people who end up with the big money - stock holders, real estate owners, CEO...
[Not that I mind you throwing them money, but it's kinda realistic that you do by far mainly that rather than supporting joe average.]
Jose Carter
Oh shi- it's $17 (sandisk) vs $20 (shark) now.
Isaiah Brown
Never bought anything off aliexpress before. What's the best way to pay?
Just use a visa card and pay the default way?
Evan Anderson
Credit card is fine, sure.
Benjamin Foster
If you click the shuffle button with no songs you can see proof of chink botnet
Adrian Campbell
Just use Visa, dont fall for the Paypal meme unless you want to get your money taken by the jews
Colton Evans
>Just use a visa card and pay the default way? Alipay is the most convenient way. You can also use Paypal if the seller accepts it. You're still covered by latter's buyer protection as long as you have invoice
>Alipay = get chinked >Paypal = get jew'd
Pick your poison.
Daniel Smith
Visa, use your own money instead of borrowing
Noah Lewis
>implying visa credit cards don't exist
Kayden King
Yes. Walk around wearing an alt right uniform too.
Jacob Price
> Alipay = get chinked 2-3% fees, I think. > Paypal = get jew'd 4%+ (fixed fees might even make it 15% for small orders).
And of course, that doesn't cover the trade platform, whatever it might be.
I'm only surprised how long it tooks for anyone else to successfully do this, given that these transactions are ultimately actually a kinda superfluous layer atop the usual credit card / bank transaction business.
Henry Watson
Where do yo guys get your chink prescription glasses. I want to get some prescription sunglasses and maybe replace my 3 year old regular glasses since they're starting to show some wear and tear as well.
But fuck me if I'm going to pay local prices for them without trying out chink glasses first. I wouldn't be so averse to it if it was just the lenses that were expensive, but I just don't understand why the frames are all >120 euro as well.
Liam Garcia
An user shared some coupons the other day. New users only.
So...has anyone bought from DD4? Their prices seem to be much better than Ali and keeps being posted on ozbargain.
i.e. $4 Xiaomi XL mousepad ($12 on Ali), $5 45-in-1 screwdriver set ($10 on Ali)
Jayden Wright
Damn, I guess I fucked up because I didn't read the whole "registered on device thing." (I checked the archive for the screenshot)
Guess I could try and weasel my way around it some more
Alexander Lee
I'm also interested but at the same time concerned about the fit
Michael Peterson

Nathan Foster
Asking again in new bread. Does this work on IR or does it work over wifi? RPi doesn't have an IR sensor so i can't use it for kodi
Joseph Long
> $4 Xiaomi XL mousepad Is that with a code now?
William Rogers
> Does this work on IR or does it work over wifi? Neither. Proprietary RF with USB receiver unless of course you use an IR receiver.
Ethan Morales
alright, I want to get a watch. I see in the wiki that curren and sinobi are cheap brands, and all I really care about is a decent looking watch with a leather band and a metal face, none of the high tech looking shit. Just something to tell time with. Any recommended models from curren/sinobi? Also, what are the chances that the watch will be full of cheap carcinogenic chemicals or something equally bad?
Xavier Powell
Who's the demon?
Christian Cook
Sorry I fucked that up, here you go
Leo Brooks
> Just something to tell time with. Any quartz watch then. It'll tell time okay.
> Also, what are the chances that the watch will be full of cheap carcinogenic chemicals or something equally bad? About 10 cancer probability units per nine million watch models.
Ethan Evans
has anyone bought tea or matcha tea in aliexpress?
Lucas Ross
That's acceptable too. 8 days till payday
Tyler Ortiz
Get just the frame, fit the lenses locally. Don't fuck with your eyes/vision.
Lincoln Martinez
Yea, I bought tea.
Learned that I don't really like Pu'erh style tea myself, but everything else was okay to good and adequate for the price.
Jason Ramirez
thanks man.
Ian Nelson
It's not like they're getting any worse, they've been the same for nearly 4 years now. I've also got a fairly simple prescription, just -5.5 on each eye.
Sites like Zenni optical have good reviews, so I'm not sure they can really fuck up my eyes any more than they already are. Too bad they're based in the US though, if I order from them I'll probably have to pay EU import taxes.
Lincoln Price
They'll fuck up even that simple thing. And there's also the pupillary distance. Enjoy your double vision and the headaches. Just listen to this shit:
Luis James
Were you lonely in your subreddit?
Kevin Taylor
I don't know man, I just got my eyes examined a few weeksa go and have all my up-to-date info right here, pupillary distance included. Though I'm aware of the general incompetence of chinks, surely a company based in the US will deliver a product that is up to standards? Besides, I'm not sure my local optician is going to be terribly thrilled if I come in with a pair of frames I bought somewhere else and ask them to put lenses in them.
Still, I'll probably stick to one of their cheap sunglasses for my first buy and see how it goes.
Julian Butler
Nah, you could probably script this and have your phone notify you when the bump limit is approaching. The OP wouldn't have to camp.
John Foster
If it's just plain corrective lenses I don't see any way they could fuck it up as long as they got your grade right. If you have high astigmatism or unusual eye condition, it'd be best if you get it locally.
Xavier Bennett
Is anyone else waiting for almost all their november packages? I feel christmas is the reason for my shit not being here but i really wanna just blame the chinks instead and get a refund.
Jack Rogers
fuck fuck now you reminded me that Chinese new years (veeery big holidays) is coming up and i just ordered a shit ton of stuff. Fuck will take forever before i receive them
Alexander Turner
Literally anywhere in the USA. Why do you think they all carry guns and have shotguns at home for protection?
Isaiah Kelly
How do you even use it
Wyatt Brooks
I live in Norway and it was cheaper for me to buy a $150 Redmi 4 Prime that get on one of Telenor's or Telia's contracts.
I pay 299kr a month for 3Gb data and "unlimited" talk and text (20,000 minutes and 20,000 texts) with Telia. It's a prepaid plan.
