Some random things I've ordered in the past 6 months that are <$20  :))

How is the sushezi

It was easy to use for someone with absolutely no 'sushi' experience and for what we wanted achieved the desired results.

I also used this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BJS1PM and this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OHBN1Y (for the wife and kids) and this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NV2IG2/ (i like these)


I've come to the conclusion that they put crack cocaine in that rice...   It's way better than any other rice I've ever tasted...

And I'd eat it,, even though I don't like rice...

Just wait until you need something and use it as $20 off said item?

I think that's what I'm leaning towards now. My mouse is like 10 years old and a piece of junk so I might get a new one along with a nice mouse pad

Have you ever used Sugru? It is awesome. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MIRQUE. http://sugru.com shows some really interesting examples of how to us it!

 :p  Yes, of course.  I was just trying to think of the fun things I've used it for.  Which does not include all the more functional uses that it has.  xD

I prefer to make my own metal oxides. The cheapest way is likely to dump a bunch of cheap metal (nails ?) in saltwater and hook it up to a power source.

And as impressive as thermite is, I'd rather spend time making heat lances. They are way cooler and more useful (thermite is used to weld railroad rails together. A heat lance and do that and so much more) it also gets hotter (depending on a number of factors, but the sources i found list a thermal lance heat output to 3000 - 4500 K, far above the boiling point of aluminium commonly used in thermite (A thermite reaction will slow down if it gets hot enough to boil the aluminium off, and cool until the aluminium is in the thermal phase again.)
