I have a lot of friends who have a fruit smoothie every morning and wonder why they aren't losing weight. Bananas, apples, and grapes in particular are to be avoided. Most berries are okay.

Modern fruits have too much fructose for good health these days. They've been bred to be way too sweet.

I did this for a business number many years ago and it worked fine.

Oh wow. No one ever asks about my undergrad grades anymore. It was a study-abroad in London, UK at Goldsmith's college. I got whatever a UK "D" was at the time, a 55 or something. Thankfully I came with a study-abroad program guide who gave us a "US Grade Equivalent" sheet at the start which said that was a passing grade and I didn't worry about it. For the course "Animals In Medieval Art and Literature" which became 3 credits of Anthropology at my local state university in the United States toward a Bachelor's in Science the following year. I entered grad school 4 months after that in an unrelated field and never used this knowledge for anything but trivia since.

Use Coursera to take a Certification in an area that interests you like IT or bookkeeping. I found it dead easy and the courses were broken down into really small units that I could finish a few a day.

Ha! I wrote a paper about the meaning of dragons for a undergrad anthropology college course in 2003 and I cited the heck out of this book. Also Mythical Beasts edited by John Cherry.

The cops would prosecute the crime they gave the external evidence for. In this case the shooting of the victim, because that came to their attention as a crime. Since they wouldn't have interacted with the victim except that he got shot, the fact he had a gun on him can't be used as evidence against him. Just like if they search your car for guns, they can't seize your bank statements from the glovebox and use them as evidence for financial crimes.

How about disallowing evidence gathered about the victim of the crime from being used to prosecute them? Like we disallow evidence gathered without a proper warrant, theoretically.

Sadly CPS ain't going to do anything for an 18 year old.

Search and Rescue dogs are generally owned and trained by specialized dog trainers, not the cops. The scent-tracking skills for following people are differently trained from drug and explosives detecting dogs Basically a search dog needs to walk towards and follow what they smell, and a detecting dog needs to sit down when they catch a smell so they have different training methods.

Source; Hung out with Search and Rescue dog trainers and listened to them carefully not directly talk shit about the police dogs.

As a child in the US I was taught "The Principal is you 'pal'." which is not true but helpful when spelling it. Like "dessert" has more 's' than "desert" because it's something you want more of.

I saw that roll-up piano she's playing in this episide when I was a kid and I was in love with it. I don't even play piano but the idea of flexible, roll-up electronics stuck with me over the decades.
