Q1 Iscucumber good for a kidney? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals 2h Cucumber can clean the kidneys,help the kidneys to eliminate toxins, and reduce the burden on the kidneys. Eating some cucumbers regularly is very beneficialfor kidney health. Cucumbers are the fruit with the highest water content, a medium-sizedcucumber measuring 6 to 7 inches in length will weigh around 200 grams, andcontain about 190 grams of water. In addition, cucumber also contains minerals such as potassium, calcium,magnesium, iron, zinc and selenium, which are very rich in trace elements. Generally, after eatingcucumbers, the water in cucumbers can enter the kidneys within half an hour. These water rich in minerals caneffectively boost kidney health and prevent various kidney diseases. Water rich in various trace elements will also dilute the concentrationof urine and speed up the excretion of urine, which can not only prevent kidneystones but also reduce the burden on the kidneys. Cucumbers are low-calorie fruits. A medium-sized cucumber contains only30 calories. Eatingcucumbers will not make you fat. Q2 Cana man love his mother-in-law in the same way he expects from his wife to hismother? A2 Bhuvana Rameshwar marriedfor three decades 6h You know biologically women are tuned differently than men. They think and feel differently. Emotions,interpretations, demands are also relatively different. So a dil may live with, love and respect her mil but a man loving and respecting his milis just impossible. The relationship here remains formal andnamesake and given the first opportunity gets dissolved. There are many reasons for this . They have less interactioncompared to his wife and mother, who live in joint families or as nuclear families who meet often in thename of festivals and gatherings. Any wrong word spoken hurts his ego. So theydo not give a second chance to their mil. A dil - mil may on the other handdisagree, argue, fight and also forgive and make up. Here there is no ego orshame being of the same sex. Men do not know how to gelwith women especially elder women. Physical attraction doesn't happen here if the mil is old or completelyavoided if she still in middle age. They tend to compare them with their ownmother. Usually elderlywomen are seen with respect, not as friend. His own mother may not like him getting close to his mil. His mother mayget hurt and angry. So they avoid this. Having a good relationship with mil is difficult because most men do not like her often bossy behaviour and micromanaging his wife. Some bully the son in law too, expect favourslike royal treatment, money, gifts for festivals, shopping trips and tours. Many men do not like their fil, so they hardly visit their inlaws orphone call. It is always a bare minimum. So interaction with mil is naturallyless. Inspite of all these ifa man gets along well with his mil, his wife may feel jealous like her ownmother is a competition for her and nip the relationship in its bud.This is a natural in born feeling in women. So It is safer that way and avoidslater embarrassments if any and hurts. Now with smart phone in everybody's handit is better with a safe distance. Otherwise we may end with complex, absurd situations as faced bywestern countries because of unnecessary attraction between son in law andmother in law !! Adecent distance is always good. That is why in ancient India a mil hardly talked to her son in law exceptthe bare minimum that too standing behind the door ! Some norms are stillfollowed. Son in law istreated with respect and not informally as a son or as a friend evennow in most families in India and in many countries . Q3 Whycan I melt sugar but I can't melt salt? A3 Shaunak BhattacharjeeeSoftware Engineer | Traveller | Foodie Sun The LPG gas stoves that you have in your house for cooking food burns aflame where the temperature goes till 300 to 400 °C. Induction Cooktops have a temperature up to260 °C. The melting point of HouseholdSugar is 186 °C. So youcan easily melt the sugar and turn it into a caramelized solution at your home.However, common salthas a melting point of 801 °C which is way higher than thetemperature that you achieve inside your house either through LPG gas orCooktops. PS — Melting Point of a solid is the temperature at which it startsmelting. For example, the melting point of ice is 0 °C at which it starts tomelt into water. Q4 Arewe generically more like our dads or our moms? A4 Amy Chai MD, InternalMedicine, MS, Epidemiology, author Sun Mothers.-We inherit half of a genome from each parent, so you might betempted to think it is equal. But our mitochondria comeexclusively from the mother’s egg and contain mitochondrial DNA. Mysterious. Mitochondria are the power house of the cell. And if you are a man, you geteven more from mother. She gives you an X, which is larger than the Y gene thatcame from Dad. Therefore inheritance favors the maternal side, and this effect isstronger in males. Q5 Whydo almost all electronics that would be used in a bedroom have a small lightyou can't turn off? A5 Sterling Hulling,studied Electrical Engineering & Business Administration at Iowa StateUniversity (2020)Answered 19m ago Because having an indicatorlight is often one of the cheapest and easiest to understand ways ofinterfacing between the device and the user. Without that light, how would you know it has power? How would you knowif it has an error? How would you know it is charging, or doing anything. >From a design standpoint, they are cheap and easy to implement. Theyprovide >feedback, and if people hate them they can cover them. I agree however, that they arebright and annoying. particularly bright blue LED’s are atrocious. I highly advise using a little bit of black tape to cover the offendinglight. I’ve used that successfully for nearly all such lights. For bright displays, like clocks and radios, you can apply a window tint to them to reducetheir brightness. Q6 Whichhouses do burglars avoid? A6 Robert Vines B.A. inSpeech & Science, Indiana University Bloomington Jan 31 The first trick to get a burglar to pass on by is visibility. They don’t want to be seen.So lights, and no line of sight obstructions from the street. The second trick is a goodstrong lock in a good strong door. The third trick is vigilance. I remember a TV show done by two reformedburglars where they would find a house, and while the owner and the one hostwould watch from the van the host who did all the work would break in. Itusually took less than two minutes for him to get in. They would then give thehome a security makeover. Next they would come back in a few weeks and try tobreak in again. In the very first episode I saw the homeowner had left thefront door unlocked. So when he got home they were in his kitchen drinking hisbeer. No security works if you don’t use it. Q7 Whichare some of the towns in Tamil Nadu that have huge potential for development,but are not concentrated upon? A7 Rajesh VaradharajaPerumal Lived in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India 23h Personal choices Tiruchirapally Though Trichy is one of the major municipal corporations among the 10+ municipalcorporations of Tamilnadu, I don’t see any major industrial establishmentsother than the BHEL and Ordnance factory of the central government. Somebenefits include the NIT and the IIM in Trichy. It is high time for the government to focus on diverse developmentthroughout the state. Infrastructure and Industrial development plans aremainly focused on Chennai. Coimbatore has developed by itself due to the hardwork of the entrepreneurs of the district, whereas this is not the same case inother districts. Trichy, having an internationalairport, has the chance of flourishing provided the resource capacity isefficiently used.Agriculture-related industries, which produce value-added products would be amore feasible one since Trichy is surrounded by agriculture-intensive deltadistricts. The spread of the IT sector needs to be extended throughout Tamilnadu,especially in the southern districts. Nagercoil,(Kanyakumaridistrict) has a considerably high per capita income. An airport shall be inaugurated to improve the connectivitysince it is a well-known tourist location. Tuticorin - Potential citywhich can be modernized like Chennai. Has all possible resources for further economic improvement. I wish the state government shall take steps to establish wide ITCorridors in Tamilnadu, extending from Chennai to Coimbatore and Chennai toKanyakumari. With the services sector being inevitable for development in thisera, I think spreading the IT establishments throughout the state by forming ITcorridors would fasten the government’s aim to reach 1 trillion economy. Q8 Whydon't humans have long muzzles like horses do? A8 Steven Haddock Studiedat York University (Canada)Jan 25 Because wesweat and don’t have much hair. Most animals with long muzzles spend a lot of their time running andthat large skull helpsthem dissipate heat. If you’ve read about short muzzled dogs, like bulldogs, dying of heatstroke its because animals with those big snouts depend a lot on respiratory heatloss to control their body temperature when they exert themselves. For dogs, that’s panting -their wet tongues can get rid of a lot of heat. People don’t have to do that. Because we don’t have fur and we sweat alot we depend primarily on sweat evaporation to dissipate excess body heat. Ourshort muzzles are perfectly adequate for humidifying and controlling thetemperature of incoming air as well. Q9 Dohorses instinctively try to protect their owners the way dogs do? A9 Claire Jordan Degreein biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper17h I don’t know if any horse thatwasn’t an entire stallionwould protect somebody from a predator, because their instinct is to run. But decadesago I read about the following incident. A mother and daughter were out riding alongside a canal. The daughter,who I think was about 18 or 20, was riding an elderly Irish draught gelding.She hadn’t had him long, but he had a lot of experience with other riders. Whatfollowed was witnessed by a lock keeper. The Irish horse slipped andstumbled, and his rider fell off into the canal. Unfortunately she banged her head on the way down,and ended up unconscious and face down in the water. The horse saw what had happened, jumped into thecanal alongside her (it was probably shallow enough that he couldstand on the bottom), duckedhis whole head under water and heaved the girl out onto the bankusing the back of his neck, then scrambled back out after her. Q10 Whydo so many people throw away laptops after five years? A10 Ian Lang ElectronicEngineer BTEC L3Feb 4 It used to be a policy at aplace I worked that we would replace a third of our computers every year. The computers running critical systems (1st tier)would be replaced once a year, and the formerly 1st tier being replaced wouldbe sent to important but non-critical roles (2nd tier) and those ex 2nd tierwould be put to routine tasks (3rd tier). This was a bit excessive but it did mean that all thecomputers were up to spec. After three years things start breaking. After five years it startsgetting difficult to get the parts. After seven years it’s next door toimpossible. Keeping our stuff bang up to date meant that we spent less timemaintaining them and they could handle the latest software and hardwaredevelopments. You try running a machine with anything more than 4GB of memoryon XP, unless you’ve got the Professional Edition. The old stuff got sold torefurbishers. They’d overhaulit, and sell still quite good computers at bargain prices to consumers and businesses that didn’tneed such high specs. Those computers would probably still chug onfor another five years if the buyers looked after them; they’d be prettylow-end comparatively by then but still good enough for anything the averagehome or office-drone user would do. I’ve still got one from 2003. It chugs on onXP and I’ve still got some legacy software on it that was flaky on W7, and likeeverything, failed to work at all on W8. I didn’t dare try it on W10 and itmost definitely won’t work on W11. The future, ca marche. Machines are getting inexorably more clever. So it’s a pity, sometimes,about some of the people using them. I blame the EU. Ursula vot’s a Linux? All the above QA are from Quora website on 15-02- 2022. Quoraanswers need not be 100% correct answers Compiled and posted by R.
