Not to mention that guns are highly controlled inside China, selling crap to Americans who want to break the law is one thing but getting your door kicked in by the People's Armed Police is another thing. The fuel filters/solvent traps are still around, some listings even have reviews.  The Glock auto sears have been showing up a lot in Venezuela because they're easy to machine locally and are small. Interestingly the guy who invented them is a Venezuelan. http://armamentresearch.com/ares-releases-research-report-10-black-grey/

i ordered something that arrived in my country some time ago, when i look at the "track order" page it says it still has to go through customs, but, weirdly, when i hover my mouse over the "track order" button in the order list, it says that "the address of the item is incorrect and will be returned"? i think ive posted here before that ali has a weird way of handling addresses and i could only enter the name of my municipality from a list instead of just entering a town name manually, this didn't cause a problem for my last 3 orders (technically, all you need is a postcode and house number) but maybe in this case it did? what's the best thing to do here? i haven't disputed an order before

Pick posted:any links to tools you find useful where having a sort of crappy off-brand version might also be fine? like are there any types of wire strippers or whatever you find mildly handy enough to have around but aren't worth having genuinely awesome ones vs ok ones at 1/10 the price I did explore this a little: the problem is that a lot of tools are quite heavy and the shipping cost makes them more expensive than buying locally (although you do find the same things on Amazon, so I guess someone is importing them in bulk) Also, if you go too cheap, the quality is so bad that it is not worth the effort - e.g. screwdrivers made out of compressed cheese. There are some good multimeters out there, but you have to be really, really careful that you are buying the brand that got the good youtube review and not an extremely similar knock-off.

Anybody got any recs for electronic component vendors? I mean discrete components, ICs, sockets/switches/raw hardware, stuff geared more towards manufacturers/professionals than Arduino hobbyists. Ideally someone with a big product catalog, and who'll ship to Canada via epacket/AE standard tracked for reasonable rates.

I just logged into Aliexpress to review the glow in the dark powder that is meant for nail dips but that I am using for resin pigment. It is awesome, btw. Though I have no clue how to get a picture illustrating its awesomeness with the current piece I have. Anyhoo, this was the auto suggestion when I logged in:

Creatron does (they're a Canadian brick and mortar shop), but they're not exactly cheap. They advertise to the maker crowd but they do have a pretty good selection of low level components. I've used them when I don't feel like ordering 100 of something of Amazon/Ali. They're local for me though, so I don't know if it's actually worth getting stuff shipped unless you have a large order.

Pretty good posted:I have a relative who kept sending everyone Swiss cards at christmas every year for a while and airport security took the blades out of a couple and straight up confiscated the third, but each time they just gently chided me and waved me through also I had been using one of them to slice up a chunk of brick weed and the blade was dark green and super sticky, which was a very brief pants making GBS threads moment since this was in Malaysia I accidentally had a pair of sewing scissors in my carry-on once and got yelled at hard for about twenty minutes while everyone watched. I was 15. It was humiliating.

And the TSA is security theater supreme, a literally useless organization, unless your goal is humiliating random citizens in public. That said, I got my current little pocket multitool from eBay auction of someone who bought one or more of the the gov't lots of airport seized prohibited items back when all that started.

Pre 9/11 nobody hijacked the plane and slammed it into a tower. If someone hijacks a flight now every person on board including 90 year olds in wheelchairs are going to attack the hijackers.

Pre 9/11 the calculus was "hijackers won't kill someone if we let them take the plane and land it somewhere till they get their demands met" Post 9/11 it is "let them kill as many flight attendants and passengers as they can get away with before a plane full of angry scared people overrun them because if we don't it might endanger thousands more people on the ground"

I can also confirm A FRIEND forgot about the key ones multiple times and traveled through airport security in maybe a dozen countries without it being noticed. Edit: I don't recommend this course of action. A FRIEND took off it of A FRIEND'S keychain completely because A FRIEND didn't like the idea of forgetting it and getting someone on a bad day.
