Not typically. You'll see police along the major highways for speeders and the like but no state border patrol like that. Legally often transporting across state lines is a crime in and of itself but it's one of those things where they look the other way unless they catch you using whatever item.

Often this is done for practical purposes, because if it's legal in the state you started in, and might be legal in your final destination, they'd piss off more people that not of they stopped and confiscated from everyone.

It's the salt mostly. Especially with indoor cats who often don't get wet food and so are on the under hydrated side of things as they tend to not drink as much as they should.

Technically any without garlic or onion is safe for them to have a tiny bit as a treat but it's so incredibly easy to overdo that it's just safer to not give it to them.

Too much nitrates or nitrites is bad for cats yes, but they'd have to eat an excessive amount for it to be a concern and again the excess salt would be a bigger issue first.

That's a version of decadence, and I got what you meant originally, but most speakers in the north (well, United States, Wales, and Toronto, Ontario as those are who I talk to most) think more of the excessive indulgence stemming from moral decline.

"Oh that chocolate was so decadent" meaning "I feel like I slipped into gluttony and sin eating it it was so good".

It's kind of used as a mix between the two definitions depending on the context. It's so interesting how language changes from place to place.

I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wire racks or wax paper like you see today. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They'd wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.

Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn't split from condensation or something before you got home.

They're talking about bubble foam tea. Sure that was a thing but at least in any part of America I've been in, boba tea and bubble tea from the start was the tapioca pearl drink.

Some people get this purist notion that things can only ever be one thing and screech if someone uses a term differently.

The "bubbles" refers to the little edible tapioca balls at the bottom.

The name started as "bo ba", the Chinese name for the tapioca pearls, and the west turned it into "bubble". No idea what the original Chinese means, could just be bubble.

It's often a sweeter milk tea (though pretty much anything goes these days)

The Brazilian Nazis. Many of the ones who didn't end up in Argentina ended up in Brazil with just as many stolen goods. (They say, I haven't studied Nazi flight patterns)

Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.

Most of his music has been on repeat for me lately. Especially "Walmart"

I dunno, my friend from Brazil says the Brazilian ones are just as bad.

I don't know about you, but my Pixel 6a already does this. When I go to install an APK not from the app store directly it warms me, requires me to acknowledge that the APK was downloaded through Firefox, and acknowledge what permissions it is requesting.
