I'm heading somewhere new in a couple weeks and I'm trying to figure out what small things I'm actually allowed to bring back home. I keep hearing stories about people having stuff taken at the border, or things that are fine in one place but suddenly not okay somewhere else. Is there a quick way to check ahead of time, or do you just kind of go with whatever the agent says on the day? Would love to know how other people handle this without ending up throwing something out last minute.

I need answers

I have spent the last three evenings restarting everything, swapping cables, moving the router around the room, and even running speed tests at midnight when nobody else is online. Nothing has actually solved the random dropouts. At this point I am wondering if I am wasting time on a device that is just past its best. Is there a point where it makes more sense to buy a replacement instead of continuing to troubleshoot, or are there still some easy checks worth doing first?

Every evening for the past week there's been this small insect that shows up right around sunset. It has a shiny green body with some kind of reddish markings on its back and it's pretty loud for its size. It doesn't seem to want to come inside, just sits on the screen and makes a buzzing sound. I tried to get a photo but it's pretty fast. Is this a kind of beetle, or something else entirely? Would appreciate any help narrowing it down.

it’s like any skinny person walking around suddenly has anorexia or a fat person just can’t control themselves , why did an image matter so much like i understand looks are everything and nothing u can say will contradict that but it gets to a point
