Q1 Whysealed water bottles are hard to open? A1 It’s proper sealing measures. Youwouldn’t want your bottle to not be properly sealed and have got in contactwith foreign bacteria, would you? kind of ruins the purpose of drinking bottledwater. It’s manufactured to be pure, quick and safe to consume. Going off thatthought, think of it as a security measure. If you bought a pack of bottledwater that are properly sealed (hard to open in that case) and you come acrossa bottle that isn’t properly sealed or god forbid the goddamn cap’s missing,you’ll know something ain’t super right. Think of it as alittle act of love. It’s hard to open because they care about your waterydrinking needs and they wanna give you the best water there is, so they’ll sealthat sucka to make sure you get to enjoy it at it’s finest. 2nd answer- Pete Lacey, former ProductionEngineer. at DUNI AB (1983-2011) Answered October 23, 2018 It’s to do withDarwinian evolution to the lowest common denominator. Whenever you buysomething to eat or drink these sad days the container has been tested toensure it is either tamper proof or tamper evident. Used to be you boughtwhatever food or drink you wanted and all was fine, then along comes somedipshit and messes with the contents to highlight some eco or weird fringeagenda. People get sick and millions are lost as manufacturers dump suspectproduct. The result is tamper proof and evident containers that are difficultto open. 3rd answer-Venkateswara Swamy Swarna, former Scientist, Metallurgist, Quality / NDT Manager at Department of AtomicEnergy, India (1967-2008) Answered June 6 The person tryingto open the bottle and finding it difficult my lack the skill and the strength.My wife for example lacks both and asks me to open the bottle caps often and Idon’t find any difficulty with most of them. A normal healthyadult should not have any difficulty to open the water bottles made in India. 4th answer- Tom Novak, studied at Universityof Maryland, Baltimore County (1982)Answered May31 I don’t have thatproblem (yet). But I do have a problem with the new design of Coke Productbottles, especially on a 2 liter bottle. The texture is horrible and impossibleto get a grip on. My note- In Chennai, India, the water bottles weget are not difficult to open. Q2 Doesa married daughter share equal responsibility to take care of her aged parentslike sons, according to laws in India? After her demise, does her husband andson also share the same responsibility? A2 Prasanna Bhalerao Technology geek,Amateur Photographer, History enthusiast12h ago Taking care of oldand aged parents (in India or anywhere else) by sons or daughters is a moral responsibility and not alegal responsibility. There are no laws for this. Good sons anddaughter take care of aged parents, especially when they are unable to do thatby themselves; bad sons and daughter don’t care. My note- I think now laws are formulated sincemany children ignore moralresponsibility of caring parents in India. Q3 Whenanimals are grievously wounded, do endorphins step in to stop pain? A3 Claire Jordan Degree in biologyand folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Mon At the time, they probably do. A human who wasmauled by a tiger and survived reported that he felt no pain at the time. Thefirst time I ripped my big toenail off, it barely hurt until it began to throb.But just like us, if they survive the initial injury by more than about 15minutes the pain will kick in. Q4 Dotypical Indian parents generally leave behind property for their children, buthaving compromised on food and lifestyle throughout their lifetime? A4 Bhuvana Rameshwar I'm a Parent, aunt, grandparent Sat Yes, they do knowingly or otherwise. Why? In their youth mostparents aren't very well off. They toil in the name of jobs and save for theirchildren and for themselves. This saving usually eats up their youth and middleage life style. Most eat simple food, wear simple clothes bought in discountsand lead a life with minimum luxuries. Travel, tours is not heard of unless itis trip to temples or family gatherings,. Most savings go for children'seducation and some for a house or apartment. By the time they retire they havea house, educated and well settled children and good savings for a selfreliant, old age. But the excessmoney and that saved every month from monthly income from their deposits isonce again saved for want of big expenses. Some spend ontravel or to pay for new LIC schemes on their children and grand children'snames. This is nothing but deposits once again. A few without anyhealth issues especially arthritis, or major sickness travel and see the world,which they missed out in their working years. Many hold on to travel packagesas those are arranged well, in a group, with like minded, similar age - people. Now Money is plenty but they are unable to eat much asappetite decreases in this age and the conditionslaid down by health issues. So once again it is simple food and simple lifestyle. They do not need any gadgets as there is no more the urge to buy newones. Life is full of contentment. There are no new needs. Many start feelingguilty seeing their material wealth hoarded all these years and so start givingaway to the needy.. Extra clothes, shoes, saris, watches, unused gadgets etc.They declutter for a clean, comfortable and peaceful house. Some continue running the house and take care ofgrandchildren in case of a joint family. There is nobreak from household duties, if both the son, dil or daughter, sil go for 9 to5 jobs. This is common as nowadays all are educated. Such elders do not even goon relaxing tours, so save that money too for their adult children. All the immovable property earned, the house they livein, all the money saved is thus left to children either given voluntarily orafter death automatically. It is a sad lifeoverall for most typical, indian, middle class parents . Q5 Iftoo little protein is bad, does that mean more is always better? A5 Ken Saladin Textbook author andprofessor emeritus July 31 No, it doesn’t. Except in unusualcircumstances like healing from a burn or other wound, excessive protein can beharmful to the body. This sums it up pretty well, I think: Despite the fact that short-term high proteindiet could be necessary in several pathological conditions (malnutrition,sarcopenia, etc.), it is evident that “too much of a good thing” in diet couldbe useless or even harmful for healthy individuals. Many adults or even adolescents(especially athletes or body builders) self-prescribe protein supplements andoverlook the risks of using them, mainly due to misguided beliefs in theirperformance-enhancing abilities. Individuals who follow these diets aretherefore at risk. Extra protein is not used efficiently by the body and mayimpose a metabolic burden on the bones, kidneys, and liver. Moreover,high-protein/high-meat diets may also be associated with increased risk forcoronary heart disease due to intakes of saturated fat and cholesterol or evencancer. Guidelines for diet should adhere closely to what has been clinicallyproved, and by this standard there is currently no basis to recommend highprotein/high meat intake above the recommended dietary allowance for healthyadults. Further investigation with large randomized controlled studies couldprovide more definitive evidence. Q6 Isit wrong to stay at parents house rather that in laws when husband is away? A6 Rukmini Hindupur Lives inBengaluru, Karnataka, India (1986–present) Sun At what stage? Right after marriage? It is very sad if the couple hasto stay away from each other right after marriage, for a prolonged time. It happens when the husband works abroad or on a ship orin a place where he cannot take his family. Right aftermarriage, it is definitely difficult for the bride to live in the in laws housealong with other members like brothers in law and sisters in law. It is difficult tofit in, when everyone else is a couple and she is single. If the husband goesto a distant place on a transfer at a stage like ten years after marriage, whenkids are going to school, and the woman herself has to stay back for the sakeof kids education, her own job or caring for sick elders, then it is not thatdifficult, though not a very happy situation. I have a familyliving in the neighbourhood whom I can cite as an example. A young couple witha ver small child and sixtyish single mother in law. Her husband died ofillness some years back. The guy works inmerchant navy, is away from home for extended periods. The girl is aprofessional singer, well established and earning well in her occupation. But the girldoesn’t prefer to stay with her mother in law whenever her husband goes on hiswork. She goes and lives withher parents, because she thinks they are helpful with the care towards thechild. The mother in law,is left alone during such times.A very tricky and sad situation indeed. Nobody can beblamed. If at all, the singer girl should take the responsibility not to leaveher mother in law alone. But she is not comfortable to leave her child with theMIL when she goes out. If I were to give asolution to such a problem, I would have asked the girl to move to a house nearher parents house, leave the child with her parents when going out, come backfrom work to take the child and go to her own house after work. This way,everyone would have been comfortable. But reality is totally different from ideal situations. The mother in lawhas moved out of her son’s house to take a small house next to her sister’shouse, hoping that living close to a sister is better than living alone feelingleft out. Q7 Whatwould have Sri Krishna done if Duryodhana had chosen him (Sri Krishna) insteadof the Narayani Sena before the Mahabharata War? A7 Bhalerao Knows a great deal aboutMahabharata, read 5 versions Updated July 10 The premise of thequestion and many answers here are wrong. The question assumes that Duryodhana had a choice.The answers use this assumption and answer howDuryodhana could have never chosen Krishna — alone, unarmed, would not liftarms — etc., because of all sorts of reasons. These answers are wrong. Manysuch questions and stories come up because of the very incorrect and stupidStar Plus Mahabharata serial which shows everything twisted and false, thoughthis incident was shown somewhat correct in the serial. The first choice was with Arjuna and Arjuna alone.When both had gone to Krishna for help, Krishnawas also in his bed-chamber sleeping. Duryodhana arrived first and sat near hishead. Arjuna arrived later and sat near his feet. Krishna woke up and sawArjuna first. He asked Arjuna what he wanted. It was then Duryodhana protestedsaying as he had arrived first, he should be given the first choice. Krishna told Duryodhana that may be it is true buthe saw Arjuna first. Also as Arjuna was younger, theyounger should get the first choice. Then he announced the intention andchoices — he all alone on one side while his million-strong Narayani army onthe other. The first one to choose would be Arjuna. Arjuna chose Krishna. Duryodhana automaticallyreceived the army. That is it. That is how it happened. That is the true story.Incidentally, after Krishna made the choices clear, Duryodhana wanted the armyonly.If someone wants to raise a question, then replace Duryodhana's name withArjuna and then ask the question.
