    You need to read up on this. There is no requirement that you have to work.
    If you don't work then the investor loose on you. You have no requirement that you have to work or what you have to earn. If you want to get your degree and then go flip burgers for your entire career you will end up paying the investors nothing.

    First it is not a paint, it is a carotenoid if you want to be scientifically correct. However in not manner is it a paint.
    Color in salmon is also based on species, a lot of farm salmon don't use species that turn a less red shade after eating the appropriate carotenoids. In addition depending on the species you have a percentage of wild fish that not affected by carotenoids. Finally the time of the year the wild fish was harvested will dictate the color.
    As for marketing that info on the red color is really old. For the past couple of years the white salmon have been the most prized. You will find it marketed as ivory or other names.

    Thanks for sharing you hate and ignorance.
    However in the real world the tea party and major conservatives are the people who are pushing for a basic income.

    The major security one that wants you to have years of experience is CISSP however that is easy to get signed off on go to any security group and ask for someone to sign off and you will get a copy of people that will.
    That said I have worked with a bunch of CISSP certified people and as a collective skill group they are some of dumbest technical people around, for example I had to repeatly explain to them how to get a computer name when the logs only showed IP addresses for a computer.

    So how many of the people here regularly deal with people in the bottom 70% on a regular basis. Unless traveling to remote parts of the world not that often.
    So why would you expect America's or Europe's 1% from doing the same thing?

    For temperature there are two different common forms of measurement, one called Fahrenheit the other Celsius; will leave it to you to look up the details and how you convert from one to the other.

    Looking at the research MJ is actually worse than you for recreational smoking than recreational smoking of tobacco. The difference is that you inhale less MJ so over the long run it is not as dangerous.
    as for those toxic chemicals and heavy metals they are also present in cannabis. They mostly come from the type of fertilizer you use, so the more modern synthetic the less contamination, and the more animal and organic fertilizers you use the higher contaminants you will have.
