There should be some way you can hook up a voltmeter to the battery or main circuit and then pull fuses until the load disappears. I'm not an electrician of any kind, but from listening to my kid who's really into this, this is my guess. I had an Audi with a battery that kept going dead. Finally figured out it was a burnt out brights bulb. I didn't drive at night outside the city hardly ever, so I didn't know it was out. Changed the bulb and the battery never went dead again. So, it could be something small and seemingly inconsequential, or it could be a physical short. But I think you have a fun adventure exploring the wiring harness of that car ahead of you.

Honestly, this is probably almost exactly how it went down

Have you seen the way old men dress? Everything is gray or brown with the least amount of shape or texture. It's like boomers collectively agreed to be as uniform and boring as possible. There used to be as much style and individuality in men's fashion as women's, but sometime around the end of the 1800s they all said "let's just all wear this one plain thing for the next 200 years."

One of my old bosses once went to the police station when he was drunk or high (or both) to complain about something crazy, and maybe about a crazy person trying to drive his car that he was actually driving. I think they talked him into spending the night while they checked it out. He had issues.

I've heard an old man use it this way a long time ago in the west. You would only hear it from someone who's very old or thinks they're a polite cowboy.

Agree: for most people, the beer gut is more pronounced because of the laxity of the front abs (also causing a hyper extended spine which causes back pain), it's not all just fat. So, proper training and strengthening of the abs will help pull those things back in line, but won't do much for burning off fat.

No. You cannot target areas to lean out. This also holds for exercise: doing sit-ups will not burn the fat off your abs. The fat will also not necessarily come off evenly. Sometimes it does, sometimes the saddlebags stay until the bitter end even when your ribs are clearly visible. Genetics does play a role, but it can be dealt with.

(I'm a trainer and physiologist and helping people to lose fat is something I do.)
