Yes, it's generally okay to juice wampee fruit (also known as yellow skin fruit or Clausena lansium) using a juicer (榨汁机), but there are some important considerations regarding the seeds to ensure safety and quality:

### Safety and Potential Risks

-
-**The fruit itself**: Wampee fruit is widely considered safe and nutritious when consumed in moderate amounts. It's rich in vitamins (like vitamin C), antioxidants, minerals, and fiber, with health benefits including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive support. It's commonly eaten fresh, and studies highlight its bioactive compounds for potential neuroprotective and anti-diabetic effects. No major toxicity is reported for the pulp or peel in normal consumption, and it's even deemed safe for pregnant women in moderation.<grok:render card_id="27c941" card_type="citation_card" type="render_inline_citation">

There's no evidence of acute poisoning from small amounts, but to minimize any potential risk (e.g., mild digestive upset or unknown long-term effects), it's best to remove seeds before juicing.

-**Juicing process**: If you don't remove the seeds beforehand, they might get partially crushed, allowing compounds like Lansamide I to mix into the juice. Filtering afterward would remove solid seed fragments but not necessarily dissolved substances. This could make the juice slightly bitter or alter its safety profile. Overall, it's fine if done occasionally and in small amounts, as the toxin levels are low and not linked to human poisoning cases, but deseeding is recommended for peace of mind.

### Recommendations
32
20
-**Preferred method**: Peel the fruit if desired (though the skin is edible and adds flavor/nutrients), remove the seeds, then juice the pulp. Strain the juice to remove any remaining pulp or bits for a smoother drink.
33
21
-**If seeds end up in the juice**: Filter thoroughly to remove solids. The resulting liquid should be safe for most people, but avoid large quantities or giving it to children, pregnant individuals, or those with neurological conditions until more human data is available.
34
22
-**General tips**: Use fresh, ripe wampee for the best taste (sweet-tangy, grape-like). Start with small batches to test flavor and tolerance. If you experience any unusual symptoms (e.g., nausea), stop and consult a doctor.
35
-
-**Alternatives**: If concerned, eat the fruit fresh (spitting seeds) or use it in recipes like salads, jams, or marinades where seeds can be easily discarded.<grok:render card_id="d90b61" card_type="citation_card" type="render_inline_citation">

Wampee is an underutilized fruit with many benefits, but like many fruits (e.g., apples with trace cyanide in seeds), moderation and preparation matter. If you have health conditions, check with a healthcare professional.

To remove a model in the GitHub Copilot extension for Visual Studio Code (VS Code), note that built-in models (like the default GitHub Copilot model) cannot be removed, as they are part of the extension. However, if you're referring to a custom model you've added via a third-party provider (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or others) using your own API key, you can effectively remove it by deleting the associated API key and provider details. This feature is in preview and may not be available for Copilot Business or Enterprise users yet.
11

12
+
Here are the steps based on the official documentation:
13
+
14
+
1. Open the Chat view in VS Code (if not already open, use the Command Palette with `Ctrl+Shift+P` or `Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS, then search for "Copilot: Open Chat").
15
+
2. In the Chat view, click the model picker dropdown (next to the input field) and select **Manage Models**. Alternatively, open the Command Palette and run the **GitHub Copilot: Manage Models** command.
16
+
3. In the Manage Models interface, hover over the provider for the model you want to remove and click the gear icon to edit its details.
17
+
4. Delete the API key (and any endpoint URL if applicable) from the fields, then save the changes. This should remove the model's availability from the picker.
18
+
19
+
If you encounter issues (e.g., the API key field doesn't update or clear properly, which has been reported as a bug in some cases), try this workaround first:
20
+
- Select a different model from the model picker in the Chat view to deselect the one you're trying to remove.
21
+
- Return to Manage Models, edit the provider, and then delete the API key.<grok:render card_id="529247" card_type="citation_card" type="render_inline_citation">
- This only applies to chat features; it doesn't affect code completions or other tools.
31
+
- Ensure your Copilot subscription allows access to multiple models (e.g., Individual, Pro, or preview features enabled for organizations).
32
+
- If the model persists or you face errors, restart VS Code or check for extension updates.
33
+
34
+
If this doesn't match what you meant by "remove a model" (e.g., if you're trying to disable the entire extension or hide Copilot features), clarify for more tailored steps.
