Q1           Is it true that it's not good to eat a banana with anempty stomach?

A1           Lucia Garcia  Sun

I believe that you can eat bananas on an empty stomach.

Bananas arehigh-potassium and high-magnesium fruits. Many people think that 
bananas cannotbe eaten on an empty stomach because bananas contain a lot of 
magnesium andpotassium.

If you eat bananas onan empty stomach, the magnesium and potassium levels in 
the blood will risesuddenly, leading to electrolyte disturbances in the body 
and negativelyaffecting the blood supply of the heart.

A medium-sized bananaweighs 100 grams, contains 40 mg of magnesium and 350 mg 
of potassium.

Generally, adults needto consume 330 mg of magnesium and 3,500 mg of potassium 
every day.

Unless you eat 10 bananas on an empty stomach, you won'tconsume too much 
potassium and magnesium.

 

Q2           Why do wives give all the details of their in-laws' houseto their 
parents?

A2           BhuvanaRameshwarmarried for three decades 9h

It is a stress reliever, stress buster as most inlaws houses are new to brides. 
Some feel lost even after ten years.

It takes years to realize speaking all these to parents will only increase 
their worry in the initial years and in lateryears lead to gossip and sometimes 
can be used as a trump card agaisnt us byour own maternal home.

Our self respect is inspeaking less about our inlaws houses unless it is 
something very serious likephysical, mental abuse, dowry demand or husband 
having an affair.

So young, new bridesspeaking to mother, sisters aunts or close friends, like 
reporting everyday activities, everything through phones calls or chats is only

To relieve stress

To feel happy atleastthere is someone to hear them out as there is no one to 
hear their woes in thenew house. Sometimes husbands are not comfortable to hear 
any complaints.

To discuss how to dealwith new problems faced by them in laws’ house as their 
mother is moreexperienced in life

In the new house theyfeel lost. The phone call makes them feel happy and 
connected. Sometimes theyeven report silly things like “here they don't make 
upma with ghee or mil takesbath very late or sil is always with the smart 
phone, or fil brings home guestsfor lunch without informing “.

It gives them mentalstrength to face the new house and people everyday.

But with maturity they soon realize this is unnecessaryand sometimes harmful . 
Parents of brides also should notmicro - manage or remote control girls once 
married. Leave them to learn themselvesfor inlaws are also humans.

Q3           I've heard that Americans don't have house maids andservants. How 
do the rich people in America work then? Do they also mop theirfloors? Do they 
themselves clean their homes on their own? Do they havepersonal drivers?

A3           AmyChrista Ernano American all my life Nov 1

Most wealthy people Iknow (and I live in a very wealthy part of the U.S., even 
if I myself am notwealthy) who live in large houses have a cleaning person come 
to thoroughly clean their homes periodically,usually once a week or every two 
weeks. (Around here, most of thelocal cleaning ladies are Polish immigrants.) 
Day to day small cleaning, mostpeople I know do themselves, even if they are 
wealthy, and I don't know anyonewith live-in “servants” (I hate that word. It's 
extremely antiquated.)

I don't know a single person, however wealthy, with apersonal chauffeur or 
driver. My former boss was exceptionally wealthy— he owned a very lucrative 
information company, and his wife was a well-known dermatologist.They lived in 
a palatial apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, andboth walked or 
took the subway everywhere, although they did own a car (whichthey spent $800 a 
month just to garage). Another friend is worth about $15million and has no 
full-time maid or housekeeper, no driver, and does all hisown shopping and 
errands.

I think you usuallyhave to get into billionaire territory before you really see 
live-in help, andwhile I know a number of multimillionaires, I don't know any 
billionaires.

Q5           Why does rain not affect/seem to not affect overhead powerlines? 
If it does, how so?

A5           Robert Harvey Sat

Because after at least130 years of implimentation the providers know a thing or 
two . Engineers arenot stupid

Firstly, they get wet. This accelerates corrosion, so a lot of materials 
science has gone into designing the wire and thesuspension points to avoid 
dissimilar metal contact, and to avoid stress pointfailures. Even so, they may 
have to be replaced every 40 years or so.

Secondly, they obviously have to be insulated electrically. The insulators are 
designed like a series of cups, orpagoda roofs, all in a string. This has two 
purposes: to lengthen the surfacecreep path a lot, reducing the inevitable 
electrical leakage; and to produceoverhangs which stay dry underneath, breaking 
the continuity of any water film.Rain rarely falls upwards.

In fact, you can hear the second mechanism fail. On foggy days thewhole surface 
of the insulator can become wet because of condensation.This causes a 
continuous water film, and a lot more leakage than normal, andthere is 
crackling, and a sort of 'singing’ tone you can hear from groundlevel. In fog, 
the protection is reduced to just the lengthy convoluted creepdistance, and the 
heating effect the leakage current path experiences.

Fog is worse than rain.

The insulators are designed with a surface that is as chemically inert as 
possible, and very smooth. So when they get dirty,as inevitably happens, the 
rain will wash the contaminants off.

You can see theinsulators quite clearly here:

Q6           Why does AC maintenance cost matter?

A6           Gopala Krishnan , former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at 
Department of Telecom (1966-2004) Answered justnow

Expertise required. Working on lofts in risky areas. Scarcity of spares. Mostly 
problems are complicated risky ones.

Q7           If you could eat onlyone vegetable, one fruit, one type of grain, 
and only one liquid food all yourlife, which would you choose and why?

A7           Aishwarya Kher Most viewed writer inIndian Cuisine and Food Sun

One Vegetable: Spinach because it’s high in vitamins & minerals and a versatile 
green leafy vegetable.

One Fruit: Orange because it’s a citrus juicy fruit with several health 
benefits.

One Grain: Yellow Pigeon Pea (a.k.a. Arhar/Toor Dal) because A - it’s the most 
popular of all Indian pulses and B - it’sa super food and a good source of 
folic acid, proteins and dietary fibres.

One Liquid: Almond Milk because it’s plant based, does not contain cholesterol 
or lactose, high in Vit E and is low insaturated fat.

All this apart fromconsuming water!!

Q8           How far is Sydney to Perth by train?

A8         Nicholas Stone Life long interest in trains.Nov 2

>From Sydney to Perth is 4,352 km by train.

Through direct train services between the two cities onlystarted in February 
1970, following the completion of decadesof railway track gauge conversion 
work. Australian railways were built withoutco-ordination or an agreed national 
railway gauge.

Launched as the Indian Pacific, the train between Sydneyand Perth was run as a 
joint service of the governments of New South Wales,South Australia and Western 
Australia. As well asCommonwealth Railways which was a federal government 
undertaking - operatingthe route between Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie.

The Indian Pacific wassubject to several intergovernmental agreements before 
being privatised inOctober 1997. The service is now run as a premium land 
railway cruise. Seatingaccommodation has been axed, with passengers in 
expensive sleepingaccommodation treated to mandatory sightseeing commentary and 
coach tours alongthe way.

The Indian Pacific train travelling between Sydney andPerth. In 2021, fares for 
the trip range from AU$1,189 to AU$ 8,849 - depending class of travel, 
occupancy and season.

There also no longerany scheduled road coaches service between Adelaide and 
Perth. The only optionsfor public transport travel between Sydney and Perth is 
either on a scheduleairline or the Indian Pacific train.

In March 1990, Itravelled from Sydney to Perth by road coaches via Canberra, 
Melbourne andAdelaide. This journey is no longer possible.

Q9           Is it worth it to rewind a motor?

A9           PaulMontgomery Retired electrical engineer.Founder-industral 
controls Co.Updated Oct 31

Industrial quality motors larger than 5 hp are routinelyrewound and rebuilt.

Electric motor andtransformer rewind shops are pretty common near industries 
that use thesemotors. They range from small garage shops to international 
companies.

There are motors firstbuilt in the 1920 that come back to rewind shops to be 
reused and are on theirfourth or fifth rebuild. The rebuilt motor is actually 
better than the originalbecause of improvements in materials and techniques. 
Castings from back thenwere very robust and quality.

I used to do a lot ofbusiness with them as they have a lot of instrumentation.

My note- Rewinding cost much lesser comparing to purchasing new motor.

Q10         Is it okay to eat mango at night?

A10         LuciaGarciaOct 23

Mango is a very populartropical fruit, known as the "Tropical Fruit King", and 
its nutritionalvalue is very high.

Mango is rich indietary fiber. Eatingmango at night can speed up 
gastrointestinal peristalsis, enhance metabolism,remove garbage and toxins, and 
is very beneficial to the health of thegastrointestinal tract.

Eating mango at nightcan supplement the nutrients the body needs. The vitamin A 
content of mangoesis as high as 3.8%, and the vitamin C content is much higher 
than most fruits.At the same time, mangoes also contain calcium, phosphorus, 
iron, potassium andother minerals necessary for the human body.

But mango is verysweet, which is a high-sugar fruit.

A medium-sized mangoweighs about 150 grams and contains 20 grams of sugar. The 
main sugars in mangoare glucose and fructose.

Too much sugar isconsumed at night. If these sugars are not consumed in time, 
they are easilyconverted into fat in the body, leading to fat accumulation and 
obesity.
