CULTURAL QA 04-2023-16 Q1 I was raised to refrigerate leftovers.We are warned about food poisoning constantly. However, in my husband'scountry, it's common to leave leftovers on the counter, to eat as they'rehungry the next day. Why don't they get sick?
A1 Mats Andersson, B. Sc, M. Sc from Uppsala University Apr 8 Several reasons. First of all, it is actuallyquite uncommon to get food poisoning from food prepared inthe home. If you buy cooked food from a food stall, or even in a poorlymaintained restaurant, it’s not uncommon that the food has been kept at orslightly below serving temperature for too long; about +35C to +40C is an idealtemperature for bacteria that can poison us (which isn’t surprising; bacteriathat thrive at human body temperature will find it easier to infect us). Secondly, I’m willing to betthat all the food that your husband leaves out on the counter was properlyheated for a long time during cooking. Casseroles and stuff. Again, all bacteria die,and it takes time for new bacteria to colonise the foodstuffs. Maybe it waseven deep fried, at a temperature above +100C, which also means it has acoating that is difficult for bacteria to colonise. And while we’re at it: what’s the normal room temperature where you andyour husband grew up? Food will last a lot longer at +20C than at +30C. And ifit’s below +20C, there is basically no properly cooked food that won’t last 8to 12 hours. Prevalence of flies, and howclose the nearest farm is. Fliescan fly directly from the manure mound to your food, and they’d be full ofbacteria. If you’re far from the nearest accumulation of faeces, the risk isconsiderably lower. Did your husband grow up in a city, and you on a farm? And some foodstuffs simply lastlonger. Seafood is delicate; vegetables are much more robust. Spices, especially salt. Salty food lasts longer.So, a lot of factors gointo this. Also: if you do proper foodhygiene, you will never get food poisoning at home. I’m 57, and I have not once in my life had foodpoisoning from anything home-cooked. (And it’s been 25 years since I got itfrom eating out.) Maybe your husband and his relatives got it every two years,but didn’t actually associate it with leaving leftovers out since it was suchan infrequent occurrence. Q2 What is your worst experience at SBIBank? A2 Kiruba Ryuu, SBI Customer and the stupid man Apr 9 It was month end and I had only 495 Rs. in my account.I went to an SBIATM to withdraw 400 Rs. The first ATM said the “REQUESTED AMOUNT CANNOT BE DISPENSED” It means that the ATM does not have 100 or 200 denominations. Subsequent 2 ATMs (All SBI) I went to had the same message for me At this point I was already feeling guilty for not having an extra 5 Rs. Inthe fourth ATM, I managed to get the amount of 400. I was feeling a little happy since despite the trouble, I at least gotthe amount out. The following day, I got a textmessage saying 47 Rs. had been debited by the bank for using the ATMsexcessively 47 Rs. may not seem like a great amount. But remember it was out of theONLY 95 Rs. I had. And why it was taken?? Because the bank and kind-hearted crocodilesworking there thought it would be wise to punish the stupid man who saw thegolden words “REQUESTED AMOUNT CANNOT BE DISPENSED” three times. My note- The person who hasanswered is a chartered account as seen from his details. His account cannot be a zero balance account in all possibilities.He may be issued with cheque book also. Currentrules of SBI states that minimum/average balance in SBI account must be 3000-00. So it is difficult to understand he had only Rs 495in his account. Q3 What is the best way to cool a laptopwhile gaming? A3 Bhargav Das,Former Studies CSE- lBM (Cloud Computing) atChandigarh University (2017–2021)5y Here are a few things that I do while gaming on a laptop and hope you find it helpful too:- Place the laptop on an even surface,like a table and not your bed orlap. This helps in proper flow of air into the laptop. Use a good cooling pad. Ipersonally use a Cooler mastercooling pad and this really helps to keep the temperatures under control. Check if the vents and holes ofyour laptop are dust free andnot blocked. If they are, a good mini vacuum cleaner will come in handy. Check if the thermal paste onyour CPU is fine and not driedup. I replace mine every 6 months (Deepcool Z3). Give your laptop some rest. Take some break in between gaming. This will help the laptop to cool down a little bit. Make sure your room is well ventilated.Keep your AC or Fan on duringsummers. So, that's it. Hope you find this useful! Goodluck and happy gaming Q4 If evolution theory is real, does thatmean that white people are more evolved than Africans? A4 Claire Jordan, Degree in biology and folklore; programmer,shop owner, secretary on newspaper · 15h No. It means they’re moreevolved than their African ancestors who left Africa about 70,000 years ago. But modern Africans are *also* 70,000 years more evolved(whatever that means) than the Africans who lived 70,000 years ago. Q5 What are some interesting facts aboutelephants? A5 Peter Spering, BTEC Level 2 in Animal Care (Distinction)2y Elephants kill gratuitously. Yes,the herbivorous elephant. It’s been observed that some young bull elephants have got into the habitof raping and killing rhinos, buffalo and sometimes even other elephants, forwhat is clearly just for the hell of it. If you want pictures/videos though,I’ll let you Google them for yourselves. The reason? Poachers. It’s not unknown that elephants are prime targets for poachers, as theirivory commands a high price. Becauseolder males have bigger tusks, though, they’ve been the preferred target forthis callous bunch ever since the pound signs rocked up in front ofthem, and as a result, their numbers out of all elephants have taken thebiggest hit. Researchers have observed that the knock-on effect of this is that theyounger males lack a role model, a sort of father figure, to instil in themself-control and good behaviour. Without those boundaries set, some go wild and do some crazy anddespicable things. This isn’t mere speculation either. Young male elephants at national parks in parts of Africa exhibitingaggressive behaviour, particularly killing rhinos in ritualised combat,were shown to be less aggressive when bigger, older males were reintroduced. So what’s the cause? It’s believed that musth(pronounced “moost”) is the reason. It’s the name given to periods where a male elephant’stestosterone spikes by 40–60×, or even up to 140× in some cases, causing themto become highly aggressive to the point that controlling them becomesimpossible. The studies have found thatonce the older males were reintroduced, it stopped the younger males fromentering musth in the first place. Of course in the wild, it’s notso simple. Killing the older males has invariably upset the social structure ofelephants, and it’s already becoming clear what the results are going to beshould this continue.

Q9 Do people really intentionally go toprison so they can get free food and board? A9 Jake Lockley, Martial Arts Coach, Fighter, Sport Trainer& Wildlife (2012–present) Mar 30 I know a police officer that came across a homeless man in the late '80sor early '90s, and he was begging the police officer to take him to jail, as itwas a hard freeze (sub 20–25°F) night, And the policeman's response was, Iunderstand, but I can'tjust take you to jail. The homeless man asked him what he could do. Thepoliceman pondered for a second, and said just cuss out that tree right in front of you as loud asyou can. He did. He was peacefully placed under arrest and got a good night'ssleep and some food lol Q10 How easy will it be to operate a laptop,desktop, etc., for the coming generations? A10 Puku Rai, Travels oftentimes 1h As technology continues toadvance, it is likely that operating laptops, desktops, and other devices willbecome easier for future generations. This is because technology companies are always striving to make their products more user-friendlyand accessible to a wider range of people. For example, thedevelopment of touchscreens and voice-activated technology has made it easierfor people to interact with their devices without having to use a traditionalkeyboard and mouse. In addition, advancements in artificial intelligenceand machine learning have made it possible for devices to learn from userbehavior and adapt to their preferences, making the overall user experiencemore intuitive. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of technology in our daily lives means that youngergenerations are growing up with greater exposure to and familiarity withdigital devices. This may lead to greater comfort and ease of use whenit comes to operating laptops, desktops, and other technology. However, it's worth noting that as technology continues to evolve, newdevices and interfaces may be introduced that require anew learning curve. But overall, it's likely that the trend of makingtechnology more user-friendly will continue, making it easier for futuregenerations to operate laptops, desktops, and other devices. My note- Rather than developing just operating skills, developingtechnical knowledge to certain level is also is important.
