Q2 Why are commercial aircrafts flownto the boneyard in the Mojave desert to never fly again? Why not just scrapthem to recover the recyclable parts and get something for them? A2 Andrew McGregor Performance Measurement Lead at Fastly(company) (2019–present)Sat Sometimes anaircraft is retrieved from a boneyard and put back into service. But also… the bestway to store an entire airplane worth of parts is as a complete airplane. Youcan just give it a little extra weather protection, do the mothball procedure,and walk away. If you’re going tobreak it down, now you need a warehouse, a massive amount of packaging, andtens of thousands of hours of labour. And you don’t knowwhich parts you are going to want. Easier to leavethem in one piece until you know you need certain parts, and then go get themfrom some basically complete aircraft, or move one aircraft at a time to aspace where it can be broken down.

Q6 1f I order curry in India and askfor a spoon or fork, would people get offended? A6 Bhuvana Rameshwar Smart cook, nothardworking Sat Why would anybody? Many of us havecurry and rice with spoon and fork some at home many in hifi restaurants . Onlyhaving naans, chapathis, rotis, pooris, dosas with different types of curriesis anytime easier with your hands. Ofcourse wash your hands before and aftereating with soap. Spoon and fork orknife is rather a clumsy, slow way of eating. I feel our dosa loses it flavourand taste if eaten so detached. You need a first hand connection with some ofour Indian foods. Crispy dosasactually break up into pieces with the poking of the fork, may fall out ofspoon and you won't be able to lift them easily , leave alone dipping in curryand eating. So it will be a tug of war with the dosas. Soft dosas, pooris mayoblige though. But curry withrice, biryanis, fried rice, mixed rice are all OK with spoon and fork. But weIndians do not care much about who eats how in India. Although little childrenmay let out a few giggles to see someone fighting with a dosa with a spoon andfork. Eat easily, eat well, eat more is our policy. Q7 Do Buckingham Palace guards havepermission to shoot if someone points a gun on them? A7 Mats Andersson·Visted 24 Europeancountries Sat They’re palaceguards. What part of this confuses you? They’re professionalsoldiers with operative weapons, there to defend the monarch. They have fancyuniforms, but their actual job is to stop people from entering. Especiallyarmed people. I would beextremely surprised if you even had to point the gun at anyone. A gun, or anyobject looking like a gun, is an immediate danger. In peacetime, regulationswould likely state that they have to shout a warning, if practical. That meansthat there should be enough time for you to stop and consider your position. Ifthere isn’t, they shoot immediately. Q8 How does a fetus's heart startbeating if the embryo hasn't formed the brain yet? A8 Ken Saladin Textbook author andprofessor emeritus Sat The heartbeatdoesn’t depend on the brain.

Q9 Do Indian parents expect theirchildren to behave in a certain way just because they themselves were subjectedto the same treatment or because they genuinely feel it is the right way tobehave? A9 Srinath Nalluri Most Viewed Writer in Behavioral, Social & Human Psychology Sat Let me tell you astory: There used to be asupervisor in a university once. He tortured his twostudents by making them work for 15 hours every day including weekends,penalising them for even taking sick leave, punishing them for grammaticalerrors, and making them stand outside lab for minor delays. Many years later,these two students became supervisors at different places. The first one saidto his student ‘What! Do you need this Saturday off? My supervisor never gaveme even sick leave. No leave and all. I should see you here on Saturday.’ The second onethought ‘I know what I had gone through. They shouldn’t face all that.’ And henever called students during weekends or punished them for delays. He insteadsupported them to make things work. The moral of thisstory is People, who hadbeen under pressure for years, choose two paths once they are relieved from it. They either becomethe same oppressor thinking that that is the only right way. Or they realise thepains of being pressed for so many years and how it is not the right way. Theybecome a better leader. Not just parents,people all around the world could be slotted into these two categories. It depends on theirperspective, maturity and thinking levels, regarding what they chose to become.

A11 Bob Lang Answered 3h ago Most likelyexplanation for a home or office AC is that it’s on the wrong mode setting.It’s on heat or auto rather than cool. If it’s on auto, then lower thetemperature setting so that it’s a few degrees cooler than room temperature.Don’t expect an instant change from heating to cooling; it can take a minute ortwo. If you’re in a carthen the most likely explanation is that you’ve also got the heater turned on.A car’s heater will overwhelm a car’s air-con every time. Turn off the heaterand see if it now works ok. If none of thesethings help you, then it might be time to get it serviced. Q12 Are the health benefits of green teamerely the placebo effect in action?
