what could maybe substitute for something like that?

Industrial plastics and paints sell all types of plastics in different sizes and thicknesses. They also sell offcuts for cheaper.

I used to go to IP all the freaking time when I was into car audio. The place is not the same as it used to be. Off cuts and waste was so freaking inexpensive. Now not so much. The location that's in PoCo now has moved many times over the years. UHMW, ABS, PVC, Acrylic, etc. The new, space age materials are wAnderful.

Anyway............

Got one at Lowe's before Halloween when I was making the kids Costumes. Summit Tools would have it.

From that place that sells overpriced crap to yuppies..............


NVM, they are no longer available. Sorry. I have yardsticks from Lumberland, Beaver Lumber and Timbr Mart. Most places gave them out for free way back when those places were still in business.

Jmac 12-28-2020 11:52 PM

Lots of places have metre/yard sticks

If you’re looking for a straight yard.

Any place that stocks aluminum t-slot extrusion? 4040 & 4080 ideally?

Y2K_o__o 01-12-2021 12:53 AM

Motherboard doesn't have the traditional 2.54mm pitch 2x5 USB port
instead it only has a 2mm pitch 2x5

anyone know where I can get this adapter cable locally?

These guys are the BC distributors for 80/20 - it's nice to be able to pick it up locally without paying shipping.

It's not cheap to start with, but shipping is the real killer with this I've found.

Looking for "guileen go"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilinggao

Anyone know where to get some? I'm assuming T&T would have it but online only shows grass jelly. Internet also says a lot of the canned stuff has no benefits at all.
Family has been very "yeet hay" recently so looking for some things to eat to "cool the body", or any other suggestions?

DJ Milk 01-18-2021 01:41 AM

Reading that wiki :ahwow:

Quote:

According to a legend, the Tongzhi Emperor nearly cured his smallpox by taking guilinggao. However, Empress Dowager Cixi believed his disease could be cured by worshipping a smallpox idol. She succeeded in convincing the emperor to quit his guilinggao regimen. The emperor died soon after.

i bought mine from dreamdesigns on commercial. i think there's a factory store on boundary as well. little pricey but good quality, my only recommendation is don't buy the 'natural' colours, because they yellow after a while.

underscore 01-18-2021 11:23 AM

Where's a good place to order some basic Star Wars action figures? Looking for a Han Solo, Chewie, and Boba Fett mainly but Luke/Leia/Vader/R2D2/C3PO would be good too. My toddler loves playing with the Christmas decorations but they aren't really made to be played with and keep breaking.

Obsideon 01-18-2021 03:09 PM

A bit out of the way but I was out on a family trip to Langley a few months ago, went to Toy Traders and it was packed with themed figures. A whole aisle dedicated to Star Wars, another 2 aisles for Marvel, DC, etc.
Star Wars
We have a massive section of Star Wars action figures, vehicles, comic books, graphic novels, books, vintage toys, bobbleheads, statues, dioramas, busts, replica lightsabers, magnets, mugs, t-shirts (adult sizes only), Lego, and much, much more.

MG1 01-18-2021 05:13 PM

It's actually for underscore, not his kid, lol. :troll:

Obsideon 01-18-2021 05:40 PM

MG1 I thought you of all people would know where to get guiling gao or something similar with cooling properties! WutFace
