I have ordered some raws from the international warehouse, and among them tadalafil, and look at the SKUs.
Seems like a joke, anyone else in this situation?

Most likely it's in the order of the email/message you placed the order row by row. First row 1 second row 2 and so on .. that's how they did in the past.
I'd suggest looking up solubility data in the compounds and test them that way.

Is there any additional information about that? Have you heard which ports of entry and dates were impacted? My package is in "Delivered to local carrier" for weeks now. No chance of it getting delivered?

I'm in the same shoes as you are. No issues at customs, delivered to local carrier and no movement since. I've been hopeful, but it's been there for over 30days now, kind of loosing hope.

IMO electric cars will eventually take over, after all, they're simpler and cheaper to make,

But the idea the US, or any large country was ready when the grid can't even keep the lights on in many places when it's AC season should've made it obvious we weren't ready yet.

Even China, which is proving to be very good at making excellent, cheap electric cars, is seeing companies failing because of the drop in demand.

Once more nuclear energy comes online we'll be a lot closer. It's happening all of a sudden thanks to demand from the AI data center gold rush making nuclear cool again. Microsoft is sponsoring the reopening of Three Mile Island! Crazy times....

I mean, who would've guessed that Three Mile Island would ever be restarted.

I wonder what happened to all the anti-nuclear hippies.

You couldn't have said that better! Yes, the grid is not ready.

I was in a hotel last week for 3 nights because my power was shut down for safety reasons (wildfires). Power company is just so behind on maintenance and upgrades.

My electric car, has few places it can charge other than at home. Long lines at the chargers because there are so few.

Yeah, let's go nuclear!

My next car is electric 100%. Much less moving parts which can break, no oil leaks. Just a single major wear item - battery. I am tired of slowly rebuilding my ICE car one powertrain related item at a time.

Side note: do most ppl here use a VPN?

I prefer TOR, and clear separation between shady and normal stuff. Separation is especially necessary with VPNs as you have the same IP throughout a session, while TOR rotates IP per website (the TOR browser, not the network itself)

Government learned how to track TOR a long time ago. They started injecting 'delay signatures' at exit nodes and correlate it to traffic at other nodes.
For example, your traffic gets 10ms delay for first packet, 33ms for second, 25ms for third etc. The numbers are unique for each investigation target. The sequence is low enough you don't notice it, but is consistent, so it's easy for them to identify you as a target of their investigation at TOR on-ramp node.

The only reason government doesn't knock on your door is because you are not high enough priority for them. TOR doesn't protect you from surveillance if they really want to go after you. It's a matter of prioritizing their resources.

We're fucked, i'm in the same spot, but don't worry, "This happens every year, idiots" lmao

Replacing the gas tax is another big step. Electric vehicles sound cool and all, until you realize they can track everything you do and with that info the government could charge you a tax for miles driven as a replacement for the gas tax.

Well… tor is not most efficient for clear web… also tor was invented by the military…

My Black Friday oil pre-order made it to me today. It had been in LA customers for a few weeks. Got released last week and home today. Had CBP green tape, but the vacuum pack hadn’t been opened inside. Color caps matched the tests Tracy posted previously, so no issues there. Test C and Primo 200.

Use a no logs vpn, paid by cash before tor. problem solved

 

[JuiceStick]

If the VPN is outside of Uncle Sam's reach - sure. Otherwise they can still request Lawful Intercept. If you are important enough, under FISA in the US, so your VPN and Internet providers can't tell you about it.

Tor advises to not use VPN while using tor… that’s why you go through multiple tor nodes… for this petty shit you guys all do a vpn is more than enough…

Choose one that isn't usa based

That works if they control the majority of nodes, and that's why guard nodes have been a thing for a while, so your entry node is more static, and the intermediate and exit nodes are random.

Suppose the attacker controls, or can observe, C relays. Suppose there are N relays total. If you select new entry and exit relays each time you use the network, the attacker will be able to correlate all traffic you send with probability around (c/n)^2.

With guard nodes the user has some chance (on the order of (n-c)/n) of avoiding profiling.

No thanks. Plus a DAITA enabled server makes tracking nearly impossible

 

[Zebedee]

It's possible CBP cracked open that vial and tested it. No fent, no problem.

Very likely. All Western customs agencies (& many other LE agencies) possess “Raman scanners” - available as handheld devices, they can just point it at something & within a few seconds it’ll tell them exactly what the substance is. It’s not new tech, it’s been around & in operational use for quite a few years.

Bottom line is.. it's really hard to hide from the government surveillance even if you are very technical. No chance if you are not technical. CALEA forced all equipment vendors implement Lawful Intercept capabilities.

Lawful interception - Wikipedia

You can remain anonymous only as long as you are not important enough.

Government is known to install backdoors in encryption algorithms.

How the NSA (may have) put a backdoor in RSA’s cryptography: A technical primer

There has been a lot of news lately about nefarious-sounding backdoors being inserted into cryptographic standards and toolkits. One algorithm, a pseudo-random bit generator, Dual_EC_DRBG, was ratified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2007.

Your VPN provider may not cooperate, but the three letter agency still has the keys to your traffic. They will not use it as evidence in the court, you are too small of a fish to blow their sources, but they can definitely see a lot more than they admit.

If you're getting FISA'd you're fucked, full stop. Got a lot more to worry about at that point.

Exactly, and the public doesn't become aware of new capabilities until there's a case big enough to allow the info to slip.

Hell, I don't care if they know what I'm up to, as long as I know it's not something they're concerned enough to come after me for.

Most of my friends who are huge on opsec aren't doing anything that warrants all the complexity of trying to avoid surveillance. (some seem to think they are, the "OMG 1 vial of test for TRT better set up a drop house, coinwasher, vpn" types).

Security through obscurity.
