CULTURAL QA 07-2022-04 BEING ACOMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 Is it safe to put clothes covered insawdust in the washing machine? A1 S. Williams, Former Peer Support atGeorgia Pines Behavioral (2010–2012)16m First, you should try rinsing them outside with awaterhose to remove most of the saw dust. The sawdust probably couldcause clogs or damage to your washer. After using hose outside to rinse most ifpossible all sawdust, proceed with laundering clothes. Wash clothes withdetergent and use fabric softner in rinse water as usual. Hope my responsehelps. My note- The question must be from a wood sawer.In Kerala they wear only a single dhothi in villages, but in saw mills theyhave upper wear like T shirt. Q2 Why is washing fruits and vegetableswith water considered sufficient? If there is bacteria, will rinsing with wateronly actually help? A2 Joseph Reinemann, Computer Scientist+ Author of Rarely Read Books Updated Thu No, it will definitely not help the bacteria. You need tounderstand the relative scale between us and bacteria. To us, running somethingunder water for a few seconds seems very gentle. To a microbe, it's the motherof all tidal waves. Mostbacteria aren't equipped with anything that would let them actually hold on tothe surface of a carrot or piece of lettuce, so when the wave hits they justget swept along with it. That's also why you can often drink fromclear streams or rivers, but trying to drink from standing water will almostalways make you sick. The reason we need soap to clean our own hands is becauseour skin is covered in a thin layer of oils that will provide a barrier betweenthe water and whatever bacteria may be thriving in it.The soap creates an interface allowing those oils to bind with the water as itpasses, stripping off the barrier. Fruits and vegetables generally don't havethe same kind of barriers to contend with, so water alone is sufficient. Q3 How are Indian Railways quartersgiven to Indian Railway employees? A3 Shishir Chandra,Former Dy. Station Superintendentat Indian Railways (2017–2019)Updated 10h I don't know aboutothers, but the railway quarter allotted to me was a nightmare for me… I worked as amiddle level employee of railways and expected a good lifestyle as being thehead of the station. I worked as deputy station superintendent on a bigjunction station and was allotted a railway quarter the next day of my joining. Basically operatingstaff is forced to live nearby the station as they are deemed to do therostered job with 24*7 culture. Hence, even if you deny the quarter, you wouldbe allotted the quarter forcefully. Here I am givingyou a glimpse of my bungalow provided by the railways and the world classamenities in the quarter. Edit:— zoom thefirst picture and see the demolished roof of the kitchen… it's the OPENKITCHEN… offered by the railways. My note- Probably the case could bedecades back. Now for essential staff newquarters are built, others live in flats/homes purchased in southern states. Wecan see newly appearing track regulating buildings are abanded due totechnical changes. I have seen the quarters of my relative and two friendsliving in railway quarters in somewhat better conditions decades back. I agree the condition ofquarters were such that they could better facilitated and modern facilities introduced Q4 Why are there no trees in Antarcticawhile other very cold places have trees? A4 Hand Maiden to Horses,Human Being,Attempting to be Rational Jun 21 “Why are there no trees in Antarctica whileother very cold place have trees?” Trees require soil (and water and light) to live andgrow. A very large percentage of Antarctica is very deep ice over sea water,or very deep ice over rock or permanently frozen rocky soil. There are no trees on Svalbard. There are no trees abovethe tree lines on mountains ranges The conditions inAntarctica, like above the tree lines of high altitudes, are not sufficient to supportthe growth of trees, regardless of temperature comparisons with other coldareas. There is more to this question than simple thermometerreadings. Q5 What happens if I eat too manyprunes? A5 Lucia Garcia, Worked at Hospitals Jun25 Prunes are a type of dried fruit made from fresh plumsthat have been dehydrated, but prunes only come fromcertain plum varieties. Compared withplums, prunes are more concentrated in sweetness, and taste sticky, chewy, andjuicy have a pleasinglytart aftertaste. Prunes arenutritious, which is a high-calorie, high-sugar dried fruit. A prunes weighsabout 9.5 grams, contains about 25 calories and 3.9 grams of sugar, Eating too many prunes may lead to increased blood sugarand weight gain, so it is recommended to eat no more than 10 prunes a day. It is worthmentioning that prunes are an excellent source of polyphenols. Polyphenols areactive plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation andoxidative stress are among the main causes of bone loss and osteoporosis. Clinical studies have proven that prunes are the bestdried fruit for maintaining bone density. Eating someprunes regularly can protect bones, promote bone health, and prevent the riskof osteoporosis. Q6 If heat in tropical regions to makepeople lazy, how were tribal peoples living in these regions able to do thingslike take care of livestock and crops, build houses, make tools, fight othertribes, etc.? A6 Ernest W. Adams, Child of ananthropologist; grew up around the field. Fri It doesn't make people lazy. That's a misconception thatEuropeans got when they visited Africa because they saw people not working inthe afternoon. But what they didn't realize wasthat the Africans were going to work at dawn andresting in the hottest part of the day. You have to adapt your lifeto the climate. “Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the middaysun.” Q7 Why is paneer so expensive? A7 Anbazhagan Ambrose, M.Phil. inLiterature & Linguistics, Jawaharlal Nehru University (Graduated 2000)Wed Because it is a reliable profit center for the dairycompanies :) Milk does not have much of a margin. Take TN forexample. The procurement price of buffalo milk is Rs. 42 a liter. Rs. 6 will bespent on chilling, pasteurization, packaging and transportation costs. So itbecomes Rs. 48. Now add Rs. 3 as distributor and shop owner margings. So Rs. 51per liter. Then the companies have to account for spoilage. Finally they willbe left with Rs. 5–6 as profit per liter. Like I said milk is not thatprofitable. Buffalo milk hasminimum 6% fat and better solids not fat. Hence buffalo milk will yield anywhere between 200 - 220grams of paneer per liter of milk. So buffalo milk procured at Rs.42 will yield 200 grams of paneer at the minimum. Other costs are the sameexcept for higher distributor margins. So dairy company will spend max. Rs. 55per 200 grams of paneer. Paneer sells for Rs. 90–100 per 200 grams in TN. As youcan see, it offers these advantages: Much better profitmargins. Extended shelf lifeand hence spoilage will be very less compared to raw milk. In TN,people think paneer is some exotic product, so no issues paying Rs. 90 per 200grams while Haryanavis will laugh if someone sells paneer for this amount :) Great quality fresh paneer rarely costs morethan Rs. 300 per kg in Haryana. But then they have their black gold calledMurrah ;) In TN, you will seeHatsun paneer everywhere but in the same fridge you will not see Arokya milk. Reason - Hatsun can leverage itsbrand and push paneer than selling milk with low profit margins. For the record,Aavin full fat milk costs Rs. 48, Rs. 2 worth of lemon juice and 30 minutestime will yield 200 grams of fresh paneer :) OK, not 30 minutes, more like 3hours including pressing time. Q8 What precautions should be observedwhen handling a capacitor? A8 Never ever touch a live capacitor terminals or wires. Never exceed ratedvoltage across its terminals. Beyond a small temporary overvoltage, it cannotbear it and gets damaged. Nevershort the terminals. This can create heavy spark , damage its terminals, sometimes burn theterminations and wires, and even cause welding at terminals Whendischarging, short the capacitor terminals through a resistance first,then short them directly by a wire. Only after this you can handle thecapacitor safely If case is of metal container, it should preferably beearthed. Power capacitors atsupply voltage usually always have discharge resistors permanently connectedbetween terminals. Allow at least one minute to allow terminal voltage to fallto safe level. Then short the terminals of all three phases together. Afterthis you can handle it or remove from system. Never connect an electrolytic capacitor in wrongpolarity. This can damage is irreversibly, and can even cause explosion. My note- I could not get the details of answered personwhile editing, surely a good engineer. Initially I missed to copy the name ofthe person answered. Q9 Why are trains more expensive thanplanes in Europe? A9 Dick Polley, Lives in Rochdale, UK(2015–present)5h You are on thetrain for longer so you are paying to rent your seat for perhaps five times aslong. Railway track is expensive, just to install overhead electric lines onstandard track costs about £1m per single track kilometre in UK and Europe. Forthe price of your ticket you may have made use of billions of pounds worth ofinfrastructure. My note-Railway fare more than airfare in certain countrieslike Europe is a new information to me. Q10 Why does my stomach hurt every morning? A10 Lucia Garcia, Worked at Hospitals Thu The most commoncause of stomach pain on an empty stomach in the morning is a duodenal ulcer, while stomachpain after a meal is a symptom of a stomach ulcer. The duodenum is thefirst part of the small intestine, which is about 25 to 30 cm long. The smallintestine is about 500 to 600 cm long. About 95% ofduodenal ulcers occur in the duodenal bulb. The duodenal bulb is about 5 cmlong and is the portion of the duodenum closest to the stomach. People with duodenal ulcer usually have symptoms ofabdominal pain in the morning on an empty stomach,and the symptoms can be relieved after eating something. More than 80% of duodenal ulcers are infected with Helicobacterpylori bacteria, a bacteria that causesinflammation of the lining of the duodenum, which can lead to ulcers. Inaddition, some anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, as wellas smoking and heavy alcohol consumption can also cause duodenal ulcers. Duodenal ulcer is acommon disease that can usually be cured with 1 to 2 months of acid-suppressingmedication. All the above QA are from Quora website on 03-07- 2022.
