Secondly, because we paid ourdues just over 8,000 years ago, with what may well have been the biggest tsunami since the one that was caused bythe dinosaur-killing asteroid.

Q6 Why don't birds getelectrocuted sitting on power lines? A6 David Thomas FormerPresident, Alaska Electric and Energy Cooperative (2007–2021)Fri They do, but they have to bebig enough to connect two different phases of the 3-phase power or to span the distance between a conductor and somethingthat is grounded. That’swhy eagles, other raptors, and large seabirds are at most risk forelectrocution in power lines. As power lines get rebuilt or upgraded, more bird-friendly designs are used - conductors arespaced further apart and measures taken so they don’t perch or build nests onthe structures themselves. Small birds? They just go up and down in voltage, 60 times a second, as they sit onthe power lines (most high-voltage lines are bare metal), but since they aren’t connected toanything else, there’s no current going through the little bodies.Like you can walk across a carpeted room, unaware and unaffected by being at afew thousand volts DC from static electricity. Unaware and unaffected until youtouch a grounded light switch or metal door knob. Then (and only then) there iscurrent and you get a small shock (small because the current is so small, eventhough the voltage is moderate) Q7 Is there a lack ofcats in New York City to prevent the rat problem? A7 Amy Christa Ernano Havehad many pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, miceDec 11 I once read a fascinating bookcalled Rats: Observations on theHistory and Habitat of the City's Most Unwanted Inhabitants, by RobertSullivan. Sullivan spent a year observing a colony of rats in an alley indowntown Manhattan, and also interviewed a number of NYC exterminators. One of these exterminators toldhim of a building super who had a rat problem in the basement, but didn't want to pay the high price of extermination,so, he said, he would justget a cat. The exterminator urged him not to do that, but the man wasinsistent. He put the cat in the basement… and by the next morning,the rats had killed and eaten it. Rats are not mice. They live in colonies, and they will defendthemselves. They have very sharp teeth, and the average brown rat is four timesthe size and over 10 times the weight of a house mouse. One rat a cat couldtake, although it would have a fight on its hands. A colony of them and it'slights out, kitty cat. Something else Sullivan observed was the sheer amount of food available to the rats.The alley they lived in was near two restaurants. The dumpsters behind thoserestaurants were filled with enough discarded food to feed the entire colony.Combine that with the fact that a female rat can have a litter of up to 14 kitsevery month, and that those kits will reach sexual maturity at about 5 weeks ofage, and that's a lot of rats. One pair of rats can multiply to 15,000 in a year. There are certainly plenty of stray cats in New York City. But if youwere to have enough stray cats to take care of all of New York City's rats, you'd then endup with a cat problem. Q8 What is the meltingpoint of ice at sea level?

A12 Steven HaddockLives inToronto, ON (1959–present)Dec 7 Escalators used to be wood In my youth, I rode numerous wood escalators in Toronto. When I went toLondon in the 1990s, I rode a ton of them as they were incredibly common. But wood has a problem. It tends to burn quite well,particularly when nicotineaddicts get off the subway, light up, and toss their matches on it. After thisfire, London started replacing its wooden elevators. Elevators are pretty muchprecision machines that have very tight tolerances. In other words, if the edges are sharp they fit together better. But theydon’t burn no matter how many matches you throw on them All the above QA are from Quora website on 26-12- 2021. Compiled and posted by R.
