CULTURAL QA 08-2021-06 Being a compilation there may be errors
Q1 Recently I tend to get full afteronly eating a few bites. It's very hard for me to drink a whole glass of water.Why is that? A1 2Answers Robert Sinsheimer, former VP ofMedical Affairs and Family Physician (1978-2017)Answered August 21, 2018 Getting full afteronly a few bites is called early satiety. Satiety means the feeling of beingsatisfied after eating the right amount. Here are somecauses of early satiety. Think of the less serious things first if thecondition just developed. Think if the more serious causes if you have weightloss and vomiting. A viral illness such as gastroenteritis The few days immediately after abdominalsurgery. A severe illness not yet diagnosed. Drugs: like amphetamine stimulants, someantidepressants, some illegal drugs, Irritable bowel or other related conditionsthat cause gas and bloating. sometimes irritable bowel is really a type ofcarbohydrate intolerance Gastroparesis (poor emptying of the stomachdue to poor contractility or sqeeze of the stomach). Think of this if thesituation is chronic. Gastric Ulcer GERD Gastric outlet obstruction caused by anulcer or tumor or tumor that causes and ulcer at the pyloric valve. A tumor outside the stomach that putsexternal pressure on the stomach. Keep thesepossibilities in mind when you see the doctor about this symptom. 2ND ANSWER- Noah Krause, Environmental Artistat Rockstar Games (2017-present)AnsweredNovember 15, 2017 My personal guessis that you are sick with something. But I also know very little about you:age, sex, physical activity, medical conditions, living environment, emotionalstress, usual eating habits, overall health, history with these symptoms,workplace, allergies, or everyday habits you don’t even know about- all ofwhich, might play an effect. Few people will beable to give an exact answer to your question online. Talk to a family doctor,close friend or even a relative. Try to determine what changes in your lifemight be influencing your eating habits. Q2 Why do people of African descenthave tightly curled hair compared to Europeans? How would this be anevolutionary advantage? A2 Claire Jordan Degree in biologyand folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper July 30 Frizzy Afro hairwicks sweat away from the skin very fast, cooling the scalp and protectingagainst sunstroke. This is very important if you live in a very hot and sunnyarea. On the other hand,if you live somewhere cold, you want to reduce loss of heat from the head, sothen you evolve straighter hair. Q3 When a jet aircraft flies throughclouds, how does the engine keep running even though there's so much watervapor in the way? Doesn't the water vapor weaken the combustion? A3 Franklin VeauxProfessionalWriterJuly 28 Jet engines burnferociously hot, far too hot for water vapor to make any difference. Like,“pushing the very limits of materials science to keep turbine blades frommelting” hot. And engines aredesigned to ingest massive quantities of water without flaming out. And I domean massive. This is a GE enginebeing tested by running with enormous water hoses spraying high-pressure waterjets down its throat. The engines aretested with water nets, with water and ice spray, with chunks of ice, you nameit. It’s pretty cool: Q4 What are some Dry Fruits that arebeneficial for Health? A4 AnsweredbyApoorv AgrawalJuly 27 Answered byApoorv AgrawalJuly27 Dried fruitcontains no fat, cholesterol, or sodium. It also helps to sweeten bland foodwithout adding refined sugars. Small bits of dried fruit can be added to plainyoghurt, oatmeal, or wholegrain breakfast cereal, making it more palatable toyoung children – and others who would not be able to stomach such foodsotherwise. Some Amazing DryFruits beneficial for our Health Almonds are rich in vitamins and are eveneasier to digest than milk. Raisins are actually dried grapes and havehigh nourishing qualities. They have sufficient sugar content and thus higherfood value. Cashew nuts are rich in mono-unsaturatedfat, thus useful for heart problems Dates have natural sugar, are considered tobe very nutritious and healthy dry fruits. Pistachios are a good source of copper,phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and B6. You can add theseamazing health benefits of dried fruits to your daily diet. Note: since thesedry fruits skin or peels doesn’t easily get digested in our body. So make sure you keep them inwater for at least 4 hours. This will help to get more nutrition out ofthese in your body. Q5 One of my answers on Quora wastaken down because some lines were in Hindi. I had appealed but got rejected.Can I do something to get my answers back? It was the most viewed answer ofmine. A5 GopalkrishnaVishwanath I have been a member of Quora since July2015 Wed (366 words in this answer. 2 minutes to read) Did you address thebasic issue before appealing? If the reason was the presence of lines in Hindi(without a translation below) then you should either have removed the Hindilines or added a translation before appealing. Now that you haveappealed and it has been rejected then that is the end of the matter. Quoradoes not consider multiple appeals. Don’t be too upset.These “accidents” do happen. Several of my answers have been collapsed. I justdon’t bother to appeal. I let them stay collapsed and I proceed to write mynext answer or question. But if you aredetermined to somehow get your answer back, here are a couple of workarounds. Shhh!!! Don’t tellanyone or Quora that I told you. First method: Share yourcollapsed answer with your followers. Request some of them to share it further.This will bring it back on display and chances are the bots won’t notice. Doaddress the issue that caused the earlier collapse. Second method: Rewrite thequestion in such a way that the question is the same but there are enoughchanges in the keywords to hoodwink the bots that check for repetition and makethe bots believe it is a different question. Change words like “question” to“query”, “answer” to “response”, “ask” to “inquire”, “lift” to “elevator”,“history” to “the past” etc. Then answer yourown question by copy/pasting your previous answer. This time address the issuethat caused the earlier collapse. Either remove the Hindi lines or add atranslation. If those Hindi lines are vital to your answer, then try writingthem in Roman script and put them in italics. Don’t use Devanagari. Those wordsstick out and are easily spotted by the bots. Of course, thiswill be a new answer with the same content and you will have to get new views.But at least your answer will come out of Quora’s waste paper basket! This trick hasworked like a charm and one very popular writer has used it often. The writereven announces in the shared answer that the answer had been collapsed whenfirst posted! The shared answer sneaked past the bots and there was no furthertrouble. Best of luck, andremember your promise not to tell anyone that I told you. Q6 I am planning to buy a home. Whichthings should I consider the most? A6 PrasannaBhaleraoI have some experience in real estate deals.July19 Vikas Khurana hasmentioned some excellent points. To those, I will add: Be absolutely sure that the city where youare buying will be your city of permanent residence. Assess your job in terms of security andsteadfastness. You will most likely go for a loan. You must be able to repaythe loan. There is no need to hurry to buy now. Savefor the downpayment right now to reduce the loan. It is a myth that goodproperty will be lost if you don’t buy now. Expanding on the above point - do not gofor a hefty loan with a 30-year tenure (because it reduces EMI). The longer youpay, the more interest you pay and the longer you are in debt. I always advise15~20 years. Check out resale properties. A good bargaincan be had on resale - closer to your chosen area, bigger, etc. Vikas said that buy somewhere close to theoffice. That is something on which I have a different PoV. Nowadays we oftenchange jobs. So today you are close to the office. What about tomorrow? What iftomorrow, your office is a good 30 km away? So looking at resale propertiessomewhere closer to the city centre may be better. Q7 Are toilet drains and showerdrains connected? A6 2AnswersS. Damon, Medical Research Analyst Answered TueYes,all the drains in your home are connected to the main drain which eventuallygoes to the sewer. See diagrams below. The last two photos diagram a multistoryhouse. In the first two photos, the black pipes are drains. If the blockageoccurs at a place where the pipes are connected then the entire home canexperience slow running drains. I learned this the hard way when I flushed 2quarts of moldy strawberries down the toilet. My entire bathroom was unusablefor a week. I spent over $200 in drain clearing chemicals and tools but nothingworked (this was during NYC's COVID lockdown so finding supplies — or a plumber— was near impossible). Plungers and snakes were ineffective because the clogwas too far down. I finally found a place that had sulphuric acid, which is sopowerful, it's illegal in some states. Horror stories about sulphuric acidaccidents are littered through the internet. It worked like a charm, and I gotmy bathroom back. A WARNING: Do not pour chemical drain openers down thetoilet. They won't work because the toilet drain first goes horizontal anddoesn't have enough vertical clearance for the dense chemical to reach theclog. The chemical just falls back into the toilet bowl where the fumes andchemicals can hit you if you later decide to use a plunger. In my case, allchemicals were poured down the sink or bathtub. For those who thinkI was an idiot … during the lockdown, our building had no janitorial service sorotting trash was piling up in the building. And a few strawberries, withmultiple flushes is no problem. Small pieces of soft food is no different thanwhat comes out of your intestines. But I was in a rush and stupidly tried toflush all 2 quarts with one flush. 2ND ANSWER- John Hogg, studied MaterialsScience and Engineering at San Jose State UniversityAnswered Tue Below the floor,yes. You can see this if the bathroom is above a garage or crawl space. Alldrains finally flow to the sewer main. The water trapped in P-traps/U-trapslocated below all sinks, showers and tubs (and associated roof vents), preventssewer gases from entering the house. Q7 In double-walled cups, such asthose made by Yeti, why doesn't the heat from outside the cup conduct from theoutside to the inside around the lip of the cup? A7 2 Answers DavidThomas, Senior Engineer at Tetra Tech(2002-present)Answered July 30 It does, but due tolong length of that heat-flow path, it’s a minor amount of heat. Some morespecialized containers, like those used for liquid nitrogen, use differentdesigns to lengthen that path and/or use materials that are less conductive tominimize that heat transfer even more. 2ND ANSWER- Gopala Krishnan, former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966-2004) Answered 9m ago Outside temperatureis very low comparing to hot coffee/tea at about 90 degree centigrade. Outsidetemperature in Asian countries varies from 28 degree to about 40 degree. Nowthw temperature outside in Chennai, India is 35 degree centigrade. Q8 Have we evolved to perceive wateras tasteless, colorless, odourless, etc. or is that just the way water is? A8 2 ANSWERS Adam Wu, Evolutionary neurosurgeon Answered4h ago This is actuallynot an issue of evolution at all but rather of chemistry and abiogenesis. Because we arose ascarbon based life forms reliant on aqueous chemistry, what we call taste andsmell are ultimately the detection of substances that are not water, dissolvedin water. Water thus, bydefinition, HAS to be tasteless and odorless. 2NDANSWER- Gopala Krishnan, former Assistant General Manager 1996-2004 atDepartment of Telecom (1966-2004)Answered 3h ago Pure water isodourless, colourless and tasteless. But the said pure water we drink or usefor preparation of food items contain many minerals and gives a taste. All the above QA are based on Quora digest on05-08- 2021/Answered by me.
