    I wonder how much of the stuff they sell us straight up illegal to be sold in the countries where the buyers are, but they get away with it because there’s no enforcement.

      So much of it. You can buy liquid mercury and gallium on these sites and they ship in barely-padded glass vials via airmail.

      It’s recklessly illegal. Not only are these metals highly regulated, they can oxidize an infinite amount of aluminum, which can compromise an aircraft hull from the inside.

      I can buy ozone generators, and even Amazon won’t ship those to me. Yes the ban is stupid, but it’s an example I’ve come across.
