I don't really buy youtuber merch, but I bought a couple things from GN after their investigative work with the latest Asus warranty debacle. Excellent channel and Steve and crew deserve all the support they can get.

I looked at ordering a soldering mat to support them, but couldn't justify $50 when aliexpress was selling them for $3.

AliExpress will somehow find a way to ship you a mat that doesn't work after waiting 2 months for it to arrive.

Biodegradable silicone would be kinda cool.

That said, the 2 months wait and uncertainty of products seems to be a thing of the past (based on the things I purchase, not like I'm ordering skinny jeans), as most stuff arrives in 2 weeks and hasn't made it to the trash.

Though Canada Post being on strike is likely to bugger that up.

[Edit] I stand corrected - AliExpress packages just came through, ordered 10 days ago.

I have both sets of the coasters on the GN store, the rubber ones and they're the best coasters I've had since they're flexible and washable, highly recommend them
