That in no way diminishes his accomplishment. He still pedaled it across the water, which is what counts.

Not trying to diminish the accomplishment, just saying the phrase "without the use of motors" is only mostly true.

Not only that but jewelry can be taken by police. Any property suspected of being involved in a crime can be taken.

its liek half true, cause money usually gets confiscated as evidence but jewelry gets returned

If the actual charge is pimping, everything gets confiscated for victim services. Cars, gold, furniture, cash. All of it.

He also only measured cholesterol levels to determine his health. No analysis of whether it was muscle or fat that was lost.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Cholesterol is a rather useless measure of health. If anything only low cholesterol is any indicator and that's indicator of very bad health

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah even worse, the opposite is likely true: the calories don't matter but the composition of the food does (1).

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah saying "lose weight if more calories go out than come in" but that's a gross oversimplification of metabolism and psychology

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

For example, what if reducing calories + high carbs causes both base metabolism to go down AND feel too weak to exercise?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Also calorie counting is mostly impractical as calories in food cannot usually be so precisely determined.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

What if just reducing calories leaves you constantly so ravenously hungry that as soon as you stop rigorously counting cals you relapse?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Think about it, why do humans suddenly now need to calorie count to not die from diabetes?!?

What if carb-loaded low-cal diet causes the body to lose muscle mass before any fat is lost?

(2) Kekwick and Pawan did a study where they put people on a 1000 kilocalorie diet, divided in 3 groups: one took 90% of the cals as fats,

Not sure how you'd pawn jewelry from inside a jail even if it wasn't.

9 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

Exactly what I was thinking.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah, the real reason is that money over a certain amount is automatic probable cause, but gold jewellery worth the same amount isn't.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

I think the point is that jewelry is handed back when bail is made, but cash could be treated as evidence. I am not a cop, lawyer or pimp.

9 years ago | Likes 100 Dislikes 3

Asset forfeiture can likely get the cash, no?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That is correct, they will confiscate all cash upon arrest but will hold jewelry until released. Then they pawn jewelry to pay off whatever

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Not with that attitude.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It depends. Sometimes they will keep the jewelry and sell it at auctions. Sometimes it stays in evidence. If they have reason to believe...

IIRC from my arrest, cash is not handed back. It's confiscated and you're given (or mailed. I forget) a check for the amount.

9 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 0

Probably depends on the jail. We took your cash when you came in, and put it on your account. You got paid out on your release.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I got a check mailed back to me. The cash I had was put into an account I could use in the commissary while in jail.

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Mine was just taken. They said it was applied to my fine but I seriously doubt it

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Where I'm interning you can release it like regular property to someone else, or after 72 hours it goes on your commissary.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ok since no one else had asked, I will. What'd you get arrested for? (If it's not too personal.)
