In my opinion, he's right, regardless of the nature of the treat, she'll take the treat over dinner every time. It'd be one thing if she was obsessed with potatoes or peanut butter, which by themselves are an almost complete range of nutrients, but carrots can be an issue depending on how many carrots, and based on my kid and his straight up theft of anything even vaguely banana I'm going to assume it's a lot of carrots.

      Sometimes kids don't like the texture or flavour of particular food. If your little one doesn't like a particular veggie, try serving it in a different way.
      My eldest, now a teen, doesn't like the flowery texture of broccoli and cauliflower BUT loves the stalks steamed or the florets in cheese sauce as it changes the mouth feel. As a parent it is a bit of detective work to find out what your little one prefers - crunchy food, smooth mashed food, foods with or without mixed flavours.
      If the range of foods a child eats over a two day period is colourful (different colours equal different vitamins) and the child is happy & thriving, don't worry if they don't finish every meal. The little one will make up for it in the following meals.

    Oh gosh, I hope that poor nurse in the intro doesn’t blame herself. It sounds like she did everything possible that she was trained to do with zero medical tools to help. The fact she dove at potential victims of violence not caring her DNA might get on them shows she cared so much about saving them that she herself wasn’t even a thought in her mind. She’s a damn hero - and I PRAY she doesn’t blame herself; that’s a route she should not have to go down.

    Regarding carbon monoxide poisoning, when I was at uni I went out with my 3 flat mates for drinks one afternoon. I left them at about 5pm to see my girlfriend and didn’t get back to our flat until about 9pm.
    When I walked in 2 were passed out on our 2 sofas and one was sprawled out on the floor with their arms in a weirdly unnatural position. I couldn’t rouse any of them and totally panicked so immediate ran around and opened every window in the house. It was only while physically dragging one down the stairs to get him outside that he woke up. Turns out they had all just got really drunk and had super deep naps. Still, it scared me enough to go out and buy 2 CO monitors immediately (to go with the working one we already had next to our boiler).

      A service man walked in the utility room and pulled out a CO tester and the minute he turned it on, several feet away from the furnace, it started screaming! "Ooooohhh, that explains why we've been so tired lately." Really, really bad CO leak- we were extremely lucky nobody was seriously injured!

      In our old place, whenever our upstairs neighbours smoke alarm went off our carbon monoxide alarm would go off. I didn’t have internet when it first happened so I couldn’t google what carbon monoxide was or what to do, but I called 911 and brought my pets outside to wait with me then rushed to contact the people upstairs that the carbon monoxide alarm went off. The neighbour told me that it happens when their smoke alarm goes off and that they told my mom about it. I was so embarrassed when the firefighters came and I apologized for wasting their time, then they checked our apartment and there was no carbon monoxide.

      ABSOLUTELY.
      I started having kids 12yrs before my sister did, by the time she had her first I'd had 3 of my 4.
      I WILL NEVER forget when she would ring me to catch up (we lived 2000kms apart so only saw each other every 3 or 4yrs so the phone was our thing) she would ask me "so whatcha been up to" and I'd be like oh " Josh got his first tooth blah blah blah" and she once said to me "Courtney you realise no one actually gives a shit if your kid got a tooth so why do you bother even telling anyone"
      WELL WELL WELL
      About 8 or 9yrs after that comment when HER kid got his first tooth she actually rang me to tell me and put it ALL over FB, I then had a decision to make,1. I could be a total bi*ch like she was and tell her "no one cares" OR 2. I could be a supportive and KIND big sister and celebrate my sister's joy and the milestone of my nephew, I choose option number 2, because I didnt want to be so jaded and hateful at the world like she was to me, plus I actually cared.

So wholesome - like a little relaxation exercise - a little break from the horror of the casual criminalist episodes. Balances the world.

    I once called the police on what seemed like an oddly abandoned car. It was at the intersection of a residential street that had only just gotten a traffic light, and a main thoroughfare of the county. It was almost completely across the residential road to the point where you could just squeeze by it going the opposite direction. It also had its nose slickly down the embankment into a rather large ditch. All of this was pretty heavily wooded. There was no sign of anyone, except a slightly ajar door, and the car wasn’t running.
    It was just so bizarre. Never found out what it was actually about.

    For the record, severe carbon monoxide poisoning (as in what can happen in a vehicle or tiny space as opposed to a slow leak in a home or office) leads to seizures before it gets to the "coma and death" stage." I have been told that if someone survives CO poisoning (say, they're rescued during a suicide attempt) there can be some permanent lung damage and/or some brain damage. It's really awful and sad. Hence the tears in the courtroom when the details of the autopsies were reveled and the graphic descriptions of the effects of CO poisoning..

    46:45 Actually Simon, sending pictures of your dead relatives is quite common in Asian culture. South Asian, n-north asian..? East, West, the whole 9 yards. It's because not everyone may be with them at the time of death but they still want the rest of the family to get one last look at them before they're completely gone. Even though they're already dead. I know I was really taken aback as well when my family called and facetimed my dead grandmother to show me. Being a Canadian, born and raised, I was very much like WHAT. THE. FUCK. This is so messed up and immoral but then my mom explained it all so, yea, fun fact for you fact boy.

    One MAJOR problem not addressed in this story is the methodology of the murder weapon....
    A yoga ball is filled with poisonous gas. That gas has to come out to be effective. Once that gas starts releasing, there is a clock ticking and a finite time before it'll become useless.
    My question is, how and when was the leaking yoga ball placed in the car? This story seems to assume the ball was in the car and started leaking as soon as the occupants got into the car. Without a complicated timer mechanism (which was not found), surely the gas would have left the ball within minutes of being punctured which would mean the perpetrator placed the ball in the car moments before waving a cheery goodbye to the victims.
    This important detail was never addressed.
