Better check the cars around my local NYPD station. They are THE WORST about this. I once reported a car that was parked on the sidewalk AND blocking a hydrant at the same time (it was also on a tree bed and harming the tree)
They did nothing.
Then I call the FDNY and they moved the car. So... call FDNY if you see a blocked hydrant.
A man is found dead in a parked car in NYC. He was there for a *week* ... should not be possible in NYC given the strict parking rules.
However, parking rules are not enforced near police stations (something many communities have complained about) Police officers often illegally park their cars in those areas, so they are not policed.
I haven't! It's been a few years.
Here is one store (I have not shopped with them, but by looking at related listings you'll find more there are like a dozen. Many are also "pet shops" so don't be alarmed if you find they sell things for cats and dogs too. )
People call aliexpress "Chinese Amazon" but it's not really like amazon at all... it's like amazon+etsy+ebay in some ways.
By "interact" I mean we send each other horrible google translated notes back and forth through the terrible built in message system on aliexpress.
But one guy helped me cure a bad mold problem when I was just starting out.
It'll grow back... probably...
IDK.
I've mostly interacted with ant people on aliexpress. There are a lot of small businesses that make ant nests, ant keeping supplies etc.
They are very friendly, and some are pretty serious about insect conservation although they are hobbyists.
But also they don't sell ants, just things to keep them as pets.
If they start getting more international customers they might. But it looks like they have a brick and mortar shop and are doing booming business in China as it is.
I guess there are a lot of crab fans.
I'm more concerned about rare species being poached and don't know enough about crabs to say if there is any cause for concern on that front. I will leave it to crab experts to point out such problems and anyone wanting to buy these kinds of things should research the species.
The shop keepers speak no English and for all I know they are perfect conservationists. I just think their taxidermy work is amazing. These are hand painted with life-like resin eyes added.
None of them. They are real crab shells.
"More Crabs Photo" ?
Thank God. I was getting worried.
"Crabs Home Store" is an interesting small business out of Jiangsu China that sells internationally over aliexpress. (There are a surprising range of crafts and art on aliexpress if you know how to find them under all the plastic junk.)
They do crab taxidermy it's amazing to look at. I'm very thankful I'm not as interested in crabs as ants or this place would be very dangerous for my wallet.
This is the newest "Deep Look" and you should watch the whole thing because it's very good. But, I have cue'd up the video to this special few seconds where the stick insect wiggles her feet and I need someone to enjoy this with me.
Look at the way this bug wiggles her feet!
I think about what the ants must think every day.
I donât claim understand war, but Iâve noticed that the people who tend to say âyou donât understand warâ *really* donât seem understand it.
I know I say this often, but if you want more luxurious clothing that makes you happy when you look in the mirror there is no better way to invest your time or small $ than in tailoring, and/or made-to-measure clothing.
I just got my new pants, and taking them out of the shipping bag and putting them on and having them fit perfectly is a simply magical experience.
The thrift-ed blazer from the 80s altered was even better.
The difference between "fits OK" and perfect fit is hard to explain.
My students program vector graphics and I'd love to print them with a pen plotter...
And I'd make beautiful geometry art.
