    Freenode's #india could use your help - racists are taking over, just login and stand by Freenode/#india

    be polite with everyone - we need the practice anyhow. (it trains the brain so we might as well avail the opportunity) also, try to always act positively - we are our own worst enemy. He's trying to spread division by getting us to say things against the 'Brahmins' or 'Muslims' or 'Jews' - he's...

    WTB Asian manufactured Foil ESD Bags - no holes, kinks - could someone point me to a source?

    ugh - i dislike IndiaMart, anyhow I sent them (Packman) the spec: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/D341824/SCP620-ND/6044737 I think most manufacturing/wholesalers want anything around INR5k locally/txn and in this case inter-state-25k did the trick but instead of clearly stating their...

    WTB Asian manufactured Foil ESD Bags - no holes, kinks - could someone point me to a source?

    So any sort of Foil based ESD bag - I scoured the net and called dealers - I simply can't find any Asian ESD bags.. it's all US stuff with huge duties and what not and super expensive to boot! I'm okay with the high duty but I'd prefer an Asian supplier.

    What's the current customs duty on imports via Digikey - they offer 'free' shipping?

    For orders above 7k shipping's free but I was wondering about miscellaneous charges and duty/tax/vat etc.. How much is it all likely to add up to? 1589082395 gift category is banned and will be treated as personal imports with NO CAP...

    Voltage stabilizer needed for 280+V

    yeah i meant it as a joke, but srsly the VEW500+ is 9-10K - wth! It's like money has no value - which kind of makes sense: if domestic technology lags monetization and you have income disparity, money concentrates in the hands of a few, causing them to throw cash at services/goods

    Corona-virus: medical tips and tricks thread

    you did call him an idiot 'cartoon' - that's only justified if you can back up your claims (especially on a forum that's related to computer hardware/gadgets) And you did care enough to criticize his advice.. You don't earn your money on an internet forum - you do that irl - in the context of a...

    Corona-virus: medical tips and tricks thread

    Feel free to post your degree/marks-cards suitably edited if you are claiming to be an expert and not an idiot - certainly that has some value at least for now.. People here can look at it and trust you a whole lot more. (maybe even take medical advice online in these distressing times)

    1. AliExpress, like all companies in communist run countries have a social responsibility. 2. The movement of the yuan is state controlled - it's not a freely floating currency - it's pegged to the $. 3. China can and does control the inflow of $ and therefore what the yuan's pegged at - which...

    it's not shipping that's stressed - it's the currency/INR/banks - ships from China/yiwu are only a short distance away (15 days) if I remember correctly. AliE is basically politely telling you - EMERGENCY ONLY. They are basically cooperating with the Indian govt in laying off our currency. Also...
