>>20483403TL;DR I've mailed them to myself, from Germany, several times with no issues.
>>20483524Is it weird that I'll "buy German" almost reflexively but will actually stop to consider if "buying American" is worth it? If I'm paying out the dick for something that says BOSCH on it it's because some anal factory has tolerances down to 1 μm...if it's American I have to double check it wasn't actually made in China.
When I was a research assistant they made me clean out an entire basement filled with old Pyrex labware - they wanted it destroyed. This shit was so old some of it still said "Made in West Germany" on it - Masters students grabbed those. I kept as many beakers and flasks as I could fit in my backpack. You could see and feel the difference in thickness between the German stuff from the 80s and 90s and the American Pyrex...
I just looked it up and the painted white markings on these have 20k ppm lead in them. Oops. Both oops to not HAZMAT-ing the shit we tossed out and BIG OOPS TO DRINKING OUT OF ONE OF THESE FOR THE PAST FUCKING DECADE JESUS CHRIST I'M GOING TO DIE.>be America>beat Germany and Japan in WW2>Germany and Japan now make better shit than you ever did>you make Tupperware®>...
