So half the time, I can't even find the same item that I have found the last time I did a search.

Scrolling through Memory Express / Canada Computers / Amazon, most seem to go for $18 - $40-ish, depending on the brand / storage capacity. I don't really care how big the drive is since even just 32GB would be bigger than anything I could ever need it for. But even at $20, it is far too much $$$ than what I am willing to pay for. (I am really more used to the dead slow $5 for 32GB stuff since that's all I really need.)
And then I thought of AliExpress. I would never trust that a flash drive being advertised there as a Sony flash drive to actually be a Sony flash drive. But at anywhere between $0.99 for a 32GB drive, to $2 for 2TB, do I even care what brand they are, or whether they'd be DOA? For the same amount of money that I would be spending to buy from ME/CC/AMZN, I can buy 10 knock off drives from AliExpress. At least 1 of them has gotta work, right?
And FWIW, as a joke, I bought 2 generic branded TF cards (ie. micro SD cards) from AliExpress during the Black Friday sales for dirt cheap -- probably something like $2 - $3 per card. They were made in Shzenshen and branded under some Shzenshen technology company. They were also significantly faster (ie. higher data transfer speed) than the few brand name low-end cards that I already had.
Personally, I find all this a little ironic. But it is what it is, and I am not going to deny factual truths. | Do you not have a USB A to C adapter? I have like 3 of them. I can drop one off.

My wife is disgusted at my apparent hoarding of "random junk".
But every every month: "help! this doesn't plug into that", or "i broke this... now what?". I fix her problem and not even a thank-you.

"See my hoarding fixed your problem."

^ Do you not?!
That's not hoarding that's pragmatism.
(edit: that was a joke)

Take the Chinese character and put it into Google Translate. You will see the pronunciation as "nei" as well. Select "Cantonese" and play the audio. My mind was blown.

One-of-us --- one-of-us --- one-of-us --- !!!!! | thats not hoarding...thats just dope shit
example:
the day i got home from my first camping trip, i knew i was never doing that again. right away i sold the tent sleeping bag and air mattress.
5 years ago i decided that was my last snowboarding trip, right away sold all the gear. didnt hold on to it "just in case i need it in the future" wait... actually i take it back.... i am one of u guys. 
i have a upright freezer filled with shit that goes on sale and from our richmond food haul. pretty sure i have still have 2 bbq goose and loads of curry beef flank and tendon from our favorite place. Quote:

If you're going to ask somebody to diu their lo mo, why constrain where they have to insert their lun? Plenty of valid options for them to pick from!!
