Google has actually released a software update to try to prevent the modem battery issue and are replacing the battery in affected models for free. Rare easy win from a megacorp

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.

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 think the real physical threat is not understood by many. I do not think the action should be burning down random churches.

That's a good point for the future, but I meant on my Pixel 6a and I bought it directly through Google.

If anyone created a high powered paint sprayer that could do it from the ground, I'm sure various people would use it to deface things. Not me obviously, but others would

These crosswalks were painted specifically in honor of the Pulse massacre where 50 LGBT+ people were murdered in 2016. 25 were injured or killed in a shooting in a Colorado Springs gay bar in 2022.

The shooting has been happening for years already.

What's that meme that was going around? Cities have enough police for one ten thousand person protest but ten one thousand person protests would cripple them? Take it a step futher with the crosswalks

That's yet another trend that's made me less and less interested in things. You're not wrong though and will likely be my fall back
