Does anyone know if you're allowed to take breakfast cereal and powdered milk into Singapore and Malaysia as a tourist?

Call me paranoid but I wouldn't take anything into Singapore.

It's like, how long do you want to wait in a holding cell while they comb through the powder to not know its coke/heroine, Mr. UK party boi?

I bought a go pro 3+ silver
Turns out that this thing goes through memory cards at the speed of insanity... I will likely prefer to leave the thing on the highest possible settings.. so.. I think that means about 3 hours of recording time on a 32gb card? or even a 64gb card maybe? I haven't done the math yet, so I could be off by quite a bit, but the sales person @ Costco assures me that I will have problems. I think I believe him.
A "passport" type of portable 1TB storage device was recommended to me.. but I didn't get it yet - wanted to do more research. What do people recommend? It seems to be cheaper to buy 2 memory cards and 1 storage device like that (which doesn't seem to be very big or heavy - good for backpacking & hiking) rather than 15 memory cards.
Any tips?

So I was wondering, what's worse: criminal organizations using government institutions or the opposite?
Well unless you're carrying have a computer or some type of specialized device, you can't transfer anything from an sd card to a hard drive anyway.
Specialized devices are expensive/cumbersome/fragile enough that I don't really see the upside over just getting however many sd cards you need.

You're going to be limited to <3 hours of battery for video when you're mobile anyway.

I think they're both worse than each other.

I think the first one sounds worse, at least by a bit

The device recommended to me was some sort of a specialized device.. something something "passport" something, designed specifically for this purpose. I haven't had time to look it up since.
My goPro came with 2 batteries and I might be bringing a "portable charging station" type thing with me. It will allow me to charge my camera, iphone, and goPro on the go. So the charge shouldn't be the limiting factor for me, although I'm not sure if I'm bringing the charging thingy.. it's not heavy but it isn't light either. Maybe 500g? 600g? Something like that. We'll see what I end up bringing.
Thanks for the link btw, that's going to be handy.

I have heard the term "slippery slope" many times, but I don't know what it's supposed to mean.
So what does it mean?

It means the more the momentum of something increases, the harder it becomes to stop, which can lead to unintended consequences.

It's the fallacious assumption that just because one thing happened, other superficially similar but meaningfully unrelated things must surely follow.
For example:
"Gay marriage has been legalized in the US - what's next? legalized polygamy? bestiality? pedophilia?!?"
None of these things will happen as a direct consequence of the first thing. They are individual, unrelated instances. The arguer is drawing an unverified connection between the first relatively uncontroversial to other unconnected more inflammatory things to scare their audience/interlocutor out of supporting the first thing apropos of nothing.
It can also be the entirely reasonable observation that allowing one seemingly innocuous thing destroys a principle that prevented other more harmful things from happening - so 'if we do not extend human rights to those we find objectionable, we cannot count on ourselves enjoying them in the future', or in the vein of 'first they came for the Communists'.
That's very random.

talking about in a way like "man i loved sucking your dick last night" or like "how big is yours?" or like "i had to have mine surgically reattached"?
Don't think I meant it in those ways. Imagine a group of straight guys talking sexually about females that they fancy including references to breasts / genitals / sex, and then a group of gay guys similarly idealizing about men.
Also is the latter considered as 'sexually objectifying' or offensive towards men as the former is to women?
I remember this from overhearing a conversion from a straight guy complaining that once he was around gay men and he had to overhear penis talk and he thought 'ewwww" and got away as fast as he could. For some reason he thought this was a cool manly thing to admit to doing.
So I've always wondered if simply discussing such similar things about either gender, from either gender is considered equally tolerable / taboo according to western social norms.
