What would you do if one of your bridesmaids didn't like the dress you have chosen for her? | Thanx for the A2A
Ouch. Sorry this is happening to you. When I was maid of honour I really did not like the dress. We sewed our own (I didn't mind that, mum could help if I got stuck or frustrated). She had picked 3 and it was the lesser of three evils. I complained to my mum, but never said a word to her. Why you may ask? It wasn't MY wedding. I was her best friend and this is what SHE wanted. It was HER wedding not mine.
Mum didn't need to say a word really other than give me the LOOK, and say it's her wedding. Ya I know, the dress just isn't my cup of tea. I'd have NEVER thought to complain to the bride. Srsly who does that? Mum just nodded her head and off we went fabric shopping. It was a shiny slick pink material as she wanted. No idea what it was called. I was lucky as a blonde, and a late summer wedding, I was tanned and the colour worked for me.
Did I pitch a fit no, I had a choice of 3 patterns she wanted in HER wedding.
What would I do if a bridesmaid did that to me? I'd say it's my wedding not yours. She'd have a choice if I was feeling not to stressed. Wear it or don't be involved. At all! Those would be her options. However, if she caught me at a bad time, I'd likely say I'm sorry you feel that way. I was looking forward to you being in the bridal party and sharing my day. Thanx for the heads up. She'd be persona non grata at that point.
Brides suffer to much crap from mum's mum in laws, aunt's, etc to have to deal w some uptight twit. The bridesmaid should've groaned under her breath and just accepted it. Now she's making drama? In something that is already loaded w drama and hidden landmines? I don't think so.
She'd be kicked to the curb and not invited regardless of relationship.

Can someone who is well-informed about guns tell me all the terminology related to guns? For example, magazines, clips, assault rifles, assault guns, assault weapons, ARs, etc. | Every answer here so far is wrong.
Not for most of the words you’ve requested definitions for, but predictably most of the answers here seem to blow past most of these terms to focus on the word “assault weapon,” and yet they get it wrong.
All but one answer here has claimed that assault weapon is a ‘nothing term,’ a ‘buzzword,’ a ’meaningless word’. This is not true, it is a common expression used by people who have no substantial arguments for their views to discredit the opposition by saying that people who say “assault weapon” don’t know anything about guns and so should shut up and sit down. People who say that though are either liars or just ignorant.
Assault Weapons were defined legally by the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act or Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994
“Under the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, the definition of ‘assault weapon’ included specific semi-automatic firearm models by name, and other semi-automatic firearms that possessed two or more from a set certain features:
Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
Folding or telescoping stockPistol gripBayonet mountFlash hider or threaded barrel designed to accommodate oneGrenade launcher
Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
Magazine that attaches outside the pistol gripThreaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressorBarrel shroud safety feature that prevents burns to the operatorUnloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or moreA semi-automatic version of a fully automatic fire-arm.
Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:
Folding or telescoping stockPistol gripDetachable magazine.”

What hiking gear should I never buy? | A pack because you like the way it looks and/or the features. Look for fit fiirst. If the pack doesn’t fit you properly, it can be somewhat uncomfortable at best and could really spoil your hike at worst. Find those packs that fit you properly, then worry the features and finally, the looks. If you find packs that fit you well then look for features next. If you find one with the proper fit and the features you want, go for it even if it is in the ugliest color you can imagine. Hiking is not meant to be a fashion show.
Hiking boots/shoes because they had a 5 star review on a hiking/backpacking website, came highly recommended by a friend or some “expert” on an Internet site. Everybody’s feet are different. Shoes and boots that are perfect for one person may be living hell on the feet of another. Few things will spoil a hike faster than ill fitting shoes/boots.
A tent that had great reviews but doesn’t fit your needs. A “four season” tent is a misnomer. They are appropriate for winter or perhaps summer camping at very high elevations. You will be miserable in one during the summer, spring and fall in most climates. They also tend to be on the heavy side. Even with three season tents (which means summer, fall and spring), consider where you will be camping. If you expect to camp in hot, humid climates, look for plenty of ventilation. If you are camping where summer temps may be fairly cool at night look for less ventilation.
A sleeping bag that is too heavy or not appropriate for the seasons in which you usually hike. I can’t count the times I’ve encountered a backpacker on the trail with one of those cheap, bulky bags meant for car camping or sleepovers strapped to the outside of their pack. You don’t need a 20 degree bag if you are camping in July unless you are camping at high elevations. If you hike in multiple seasons, get a bag appropriate for each season.
Cotton socks. Always choose wool, wool blend or synthetic socks for hiking. Cotton socks retain moisture and are a blister waiting to happen.
Cotton clothing period. In cold temps, cotton can kill you (google “cotton kills”). Even in hot, humid conditions, synthetic clothing will feel cooler because it allows sweat to evaporate quickly.

Which is the best position to sit in for studying? | Hello There,
Can u specify the age of the student, I mean is he/she in primary section or in secondary high-school.
Buy any chair or study table that you want, the main concern is that it should feel comfortable to the student. We suggest go for such Chair which can be comfortable for that person & yes, It should cover the back to neck part. So that he/she should not have any back pain/neck pain problem.
So no matter how much money you invest, buy the best !
Hope you find it useful.

How do you grep via sftp? | In addition to [LINKED_TEXT: Jon Moter's answer] [URL: https://www.quora.com/Unix-Commands-How-do-you-grep-via-sftp/answer/Jon-Moter] and [LINKED_TEXT: Mike James's answer] [URL: https://www.quora.com/Unix-Commands-How-do-you-grep-via-sftp/answer/Mike-James-3] (both fine answers, by the way) you could still do a further experiment and earn your rather deserved reward of accomplishment for being brave and tearing down all the conventional walls around you.
I am about to show you a rather nice trick; a rather obvious trick, that is, which trick becomes obvious after years of experiencing and experimenting with open-source.
It stems from the fact that the open-source world is as open as it is and allows you to experiment… in fact, it inherently supports and promotes experimenting, only to reward you at the end of your journey.
That inherent openness is provided by it’s creators and maintainers: the open-source world is built on and through real needs, by solving real use cases through passion, rather than by various product managers and different overlapping and contradicting interests, which often land quite far from reality.
Before I reveal my trick, let me introduce you to it.
So, if you think about it, with sftp, you transfer data between hosts via a secure tunnel -, and, most of the times, you transfer files from a remote host to your local host.
Through it’s execution, the sftp tool will do the following (in layman’s terms):
parses and interprets command optionslogs in to remote host (in the background, contacts the remote sftp -server, authenticates)passes on the details around the file to transfer to the remote hostawaits for the remote sftp server to send dataopens local filewrites received data to local filecloses connection ; closes file
I highlighted an interesting step above, which is the basis of the trick I am describing.
Before I reveal the essence of my trick, let me highlight to (or, rather, remind) you that in Linux and in most open-source environments, everything is a file.
Now, and here’s the trick: what if the ‘local target file’ I set on the command line of the sftp is /dev/stdout?
Yes. As simple as that. You have sftp transfer the remote file directly to your local standard output. As a result, the contents of the remote file will appear on your local standard output, without having to transfer and allocate first (taking up space locally) and then, conveniently, you simply grep in a separate second command, locally.
Now, finally, all you have to do to answer the opening question is to pipe the sftp command with /dev/stdout into grep, which, locally, will do its job wonderfully.
Do you find it a nice (and obvious trick)? Upvote if yes.
Enjoy. Thanks :)
PS: here is an example command line for the above:
sftp -q user@remotehost.com:path/to/file.txt /dev/stdout 2>/dev/null | grep -e "filterexpression"
Note two things about my example command above:
“-q” that option will silence sftp so that session messages from sftp are superseded and not interfering with the file output on /dev/stdout“2>/dev/null” also superseding error messages, for the same purpose
With the above two, you can then expect to see only the contents of the file on the standard output, ready for your grep.
PS2: the file data to be transferred being mainly text-only (“grep-able”), I strongly recommend adding the “-C” switch to toggle on compression on the transfer. You should not worry about getting compressed data to stdout (so, “ungrep-able”), because in our case, /dev/stdout acts like a file destination file, and so sftp will be making sure internally that decompressed data gets into the destination “file”.

Can a squirrel scratch give you rabies? | Thanks for the A2A.
Its decades since I left Rabies Research. To my knowledge any creature in the wild which bites, scratches or licks you has the potential to transmit rabies. The Lyssa Bodies ( also called Negri bodies) is found in bats, rats, cats, squirrels, wild dogs and pigs . The risk of infection is too great.
The incubation period for the rabies virus stretched from 10 days to 6 months!
I remember only one case where the symptoms went as far as two years.
It is so much safer to take the vaccines and stay on top of hydrophobia.Those vaccines are designed to ward of infection. Once the virus grows there is very little chance your body can generate enough antibodies to stave off the deadly disease. To my knowledge the fatality rate is 100%
Tell you doctor to read up on the latest literature or you do that yourself and be satisfied.
The risk is not worth it.
Take the injections.
Stay safe.

After losing everything that you own, what would you do? | You learn a lesson from it.
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Theodore Roosevelt, ex-president of the United States.
I learn a lesson from everything that goes wrong and make appropriate changes. If I do that long enough, I usually find the right thing to do and succeed. Every failure is a step closer to winning if you learn from it. The only time you lose is when you give up!
When you think about quitting, think about why you started.

What are the differences between Madhva and Shankaracharya in terms of their interpretation of Vedanta? | SankarAchArya’s essential view is Nothing other than Brahman truly exists. (Existence alone was there in the beginning-’beginning’ here means ‘fundamentally’.
MaDhvAchAryas view is Everything exists practically and one can’t become the other and the one that is Supremely exists is the Brahman.
RAmAnujAchArya’s view is that Brahman itself becomes every thing without losing its essential existence and therefore, relapsing back by everything into Brahman’s is what happens eventually.

What's the next number in the series: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11? | I would say that this pattern has two concurrent series. The first one is 1,5,7,11. This series follows the pattern +4, +1, +4, +2. By this logic, the next number should be 13 in this series.
The second pattern is 4,6,9. This series follows the pattern of +2,+3,+4,+5 etc. By this logic, the next number should be 13 in this series.
And there you have it! The next two numbers are 13,13.

My manager said she is not able to keep my position anymore but asks me for a resignation letter. Am I fired, or did I quit? | You were fired, and may therefore be eligible for unemployment insurance payments unless you resign.
Your manager is trying to reduce the amount of unemployment insurance premiums the company pays, not look after you. In most cases, voluntary resignation disqualifies you for unemployment insurance.
DO NOT RESIGN.

How do you politely tell your neighbor that they are mowing their grass too short? | My neighbor cuts my lawn on their side too short. I don’t have to cut it. I don’t care, it grows back. I tried to tell them they were cutting theirs too short but he is commanded by his wife to do so and I am in no way getting in that fiasco. Also, I hate grass and I don’t care how short he cuts mine either. I cut what I cut at the highest setting and either way, it is all good. If I don’t have to do it I am a happy camper. I wish the neighbor on the other side would it too, LOL!

If Thatcher is so hated, why did Sky News Australia say Britain became great under her and said they liked her? | Sky News Australia, as part of the Murdoch empire that also owns the US Fox “news” network, is famously a right wing outlet. It’s entirely unsurprising that they would come out in support of Thatcherism. That’s not an opinion I think would be shared by the majority of the UK and I don’t believe the majority of Australia would have too much interest in the matter.

Can you tame an older feral cat? | Depends upon the cat, but I have petted a cat, an older female, just beautiful, a long-haired chocolate and black mix, who seemed to have long ago had an owner who had petted her, and who vaguely remembers that it was nice. She was geriatric and very thin when I met her, and I assume her teeth were quite bad as she could only eat wet food, not dry.
Super skittish, she would not have allowed being picked up but she was sweet and shy. I had hoped she would return but I only got to feed her a few times one week, then she was gone.
She really struck a chord with me, her sweetness and appreciation despite a quite hard life. Hopefully she had others feeding her and ended up inside a nice warm house. I really hope so.
Another cat, a male, I fed and petted since he was a big kitten size - it took a few weeks before he’d let me touch him. Fed him and petted him for about 8 years I’d say. Food is the best way to gradually get to touch. Two older sister kittens are on my back deck lately for dry kitten food several times a day, and will fall asleep waiting on my back doormat.

Do owners of racing cars (Lamborghini, Audi, Ferrari, Porsche etc) drive them around every day like when going for shopping or when going at work? Do they always have to watch their cars when parked in public to not get scratched/damaged by someone? | Use your imagination, a supercar might be somewhat comfortable and refined, but with no rear seats, or a tiny trunk with limited usefulness, not to mention that visibility is a problem(as it is in any car that low), pretty bad fuel economy, and constant anxiety about leaving your supercar in a public parking lot - you realize it is not made for everyday driving.In the city, for example, the Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago drive/drove like one was wrestling a bull. The Aventador was tamer.
The Ferraris design language is much more elegant and timeless than older lambos, but the problem is that in traffic or parkways, for you to put groceries or dry cleaning in, is nerve-wracking. This happens with most supercars, and not only Ferrari. Take the Audi R8, for example, you can't get even one golf bag behind the seats unless you're a midget or you're playing pitch and putt. Porsche have similar machines so they too have issues, but way more practical than a Ferrari or Lambo.
No the owners of Lamborghini or Ferrari or any others outrageous supercar will not drive them every day, but supercars like Audi or Porsche are better choice for more frequent driving, but still less practical than a Golf GTI.

Why are so many tech companies eyeing the financial industry? | If you follow the money, it will take you all the way to where the money is.
The financial industry is interesting because there are very few players consolidating a vast number of consumers, with low margins but a huge daily recurring volume of transactions. Finance + Tech = nirvana.
Unfortunately, social media companies in the US are facing insurmountable regulatory hurdles, and are possibly not a cultural fit for finance.
First things first:
Banking is a highly regulated industry, and the appeal is a clear set of rules by which to operate.
There is nothing more disconcerting to a software developer than fuzzy logic, irrational emotion, and the marketing types…! AI is supposed to bridge that gap, but better consumer purchasing modeling based on limiting consumer choice eventually bites its own tail.
“Now we know what the customer wants before the customer wants it…!”
And then the marketers will tell you the exact opposite: “People buy only when we create demand for the consumer good in question…” The fetish object producing creatives are right of course.
The appeal of a clear regulatory landscape, is more than a technologist can ignore.
But then again, the regulatory landscape is a reflection of the existing power structure. That is what makes it hard to scale for a non financial player.
EU GDPR makes it impossible for a startup to comply with the regulatory burden. That is what legislated relegation does: it burns in the monopolist’s profit expectation in legislative requirements. That is why social media companies want regulation, it locks in their advantage and mandates regulations built around their existing internal processes.
By the same token, hyper successful social media companies are being excluded from the financial market by the regulatory framework the banks built to protect their businesses.
Banks have had since 1913 to perfect the model.
An individual with 500k to invest is a no money liability for most large brokerage firms. You would need to manage thousands such clients before it starts to make sense financially. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but if all you got is 100k to invest they will offer you a selection of mutual funds, and call you once a year. The breakeven point is somewhere between those two data points.
Seven figure accounts require real people skills, because they have options.
The credit card business is a volume game. A very large volume game, one that can only be played with neck breaking financial leverage.
Its the failure to understand the scale, that has haunted the software industry. They do not get that a 500k deposit is a liability, and they do not understand how to manage 5m consumers maxing out their credit cards.
The issue of scale has yet to be worked out in the digital exosphere.
The social media companies have created a social media culture built around certain aspirational ideals. The result is a lack of pragmatism.
Here is a perfect example of how aspirational ideals fail to scale the financial system:
Last week the tech press was all indignant when Apple Co-Founder Wozniak went on a social media tirade after he learnt that the Apple Card, a GS product, gave him 20X the credit line that his wife got.
That of course prompted the usual social media calls for a gender discrimination suit.
But here is the list of his ex wifes: Alice Robertson (1976–80); Candice Clark (1981–87); Suzanne Mulkern (1990–2004); and Janet Hill, the offended spouse that he married in 2008.
Now lets call this out: I am absolutely 100% certain that Wozniak had all his better halfs, sign a prenuptial agreement. Which means they are at most entitled to 1/20 of his wealth.
Credit decisions are based on facts, not on aspirational goals.
Meanwhile, in Amazonia the soon to be the ex Ms Bezos is worth every penny of her credit line, not that she needs it.
The good news is that the big social media players have failed to make serious inroads into the financial world.
Which means that there is room for smaller startups to come up with new ideas, technology and platforms.
With one caveat, namely that they will have to deal with established players.
Software engineers selling to software engineers is a model that works well.
Selling to consumers is marketing driven, and most technically minded people completely fail to understand marketing. Absent marketing you cannot sell to consumers.
Those that mastered social media did spectacularly well, for the rest of the technical community, social media and marketing proved a hard obstacle to overcome.
You could say the same about financial engineers, but the industry was developed around brokerage activities, and that’s a sales driven activity, so they know the score and how to run the numbers.
The emotional appeal for software engineering types, is that they are selling to highly intelligent financial engineers that take decisions based on rational empirically verified data. If the numbers work, it is bought.
Price elasticity does not exist if the product produces quantifiable returns. Its the absence of fetish creation, aspirational goals, and highly charged emotive externalities that appeals to the tech industry.
If one trader gets a quantifiable benefit from the technology, everybody else on the floor follows suit. If it makes more money than it costs, its a buy. Financial players understand that time is money, and they have no problem paying for training and rapid customization.
The Venture Capital industry is full of people trained in finance. On Wall Street only results matter, and you eat what you kill. It only follows that the mind set has utility in the allocation of capital to risky ventures. It makes even more sense that once they have some experience with technical innovation, scaling technology, technology at scale, and entrepreneurship that they should go back and apply those skills to financial engineering.
The VC industry has deep roots in, and extensive networks to tap into. It follows that investment follows knowledge, and it follows that knowledge would seek out the investment. There are extensive network externalities that make the process efficient.
A corporate sale can take six months, only for cash to be allocated in the following calendar year. Consumer marketing initiatives can take more than a year before bearing fruit.
Financial sales happen allot faster and propagate within the organization much faster if the value add is there. Its part of the trader mentality, you throw bacon at the oil, and if it sizzles it sizzles, and everybody wants some.
What makes investors impatient is the not knowing whether the product has a market or not. You get a shorter feedback mechanism in finance. What nobody in finance likes is throwing good money after bad money. In finance you know pretty quickly if the value add is there, and how much somebody will part to acquire that edge.
With consumer corporates, the product has to be 3–5X better before it will replace the incumbent product supplier. In finance even a marginal improvement gets funded. The financial industry will replace all the riffles if it finds a better bullet.
Follow the money, and you will find the financial engineers. Finance is where the money is at.
Fintech is not a social media play.
Right now, its VC talent, hard fast engineering talent and established banking. The VC ecosystem is a perfect bridge between the two worlds.
There could not possibly be a better time to do a fin-tech startup.
And that is my story and I am sticking to it.
Thanks for the ask.

Do you have a different opinion on climate change? | Climate change is a scientifically documented phenomenon that involves long-term changes in Earth's climate patterns, including rising average temperatures, shifts in precipitation patterns, and more frequent and intense extreme weather events. The overwhelming consensus within the scientific community is that climate change is primarily driven by human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
The consequences of climate change are far-reaching and can impact ecosystems, weather patterns, sea levels, biodiversity, and human societies. Efforts to address climate change typically involve a combination of mitigation (reducing greenhouse gas emissions) and adaptation (building resilience to its impacts).
Addressing climate change is a global challenge that requires international cooperation, policy changes, technological advancements, and individual actions. The urgency to combat climate change stems from its potential to disrupt ecosystems, economies, and the well-being of current and future generations.
It's important to stay informed about the latest scientific research and to support initiatives that aim to reduce emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, protect vulnerable communities, and promote sustainable practices to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

How can I lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks without exercising? | Losing weight requires a combination of a healthy diet and regular exercise. Keep in mind that losing a significant amount of weight in such a short time may not be sustainable or healthy for everyone.
To learn more on how to lose weight and supplements [LINKED_TEXT: Click here] [URL: https://mssg.me/lossweight2023]
Here are some strategies to consider, but it's important to consult a healthcare professional before making any drastic changes to your diet or exercise routine:
1. Create a calorie deficit: To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn. Aiming for a calorie deficit of 500-1000 calories per day can help you lose about 1-2 pounds per week.
2. Eat a balanced diet: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods that are nutrient-dense and low in calories. Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats in your meals. Avoid sugary beverages and limit your intake of high-fat and high-calorie foods.
3. Portion control: Pay attention to portion sizes and practice mindful eating. Use smaller plates, measure your food, and avoid eating in front of screens to prevent mindless overeating.
4. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water can help you feel full and may boost your metabolism.
5. Engage in physical activity: Incorporate both cardiovascular exercises (such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling) and strength training exercises (such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises) into your routine. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, along with two or more days of strength training.
6. Get enough sleep: Adequate sleep is crucial for weight management. Lack of sleep may affect hormones that regulate appetite, leading to increased hunger and cravings.
7. Manage stress: High levels of stress can contribute to overeating or making poor food choices. Find healthy ways to cope with stress, such as exercise, meditation, or engaging in hobbies.
[LINKED_TEXT: Click here] [URL: https://mssg.me/lossweight2023] to learn more and what supplements can help you lose weight.
Remember, sustainable weight loss is a gradual process, and it's important to prioritize overall health and well-being over quick fixes. Seek guidance from a registered dietitian or healthcare professional to create a personalized plan that suits your specific needs and goals.

Could Data pass the Kobayashi Maru in Star Trek? | Yes of course… probably very fast. He’s shown to follow the logical necessity based off the evidence, and the evidence is that the Kobiashu Maru could not be rescued.
That said… to be clear:
The Kobiashu Maru exercise is not a test, it’s a lesson. Something that gets spelled out so many times on-screen. So you don’t actually pass or fail it. Well … you can fail to learn the lesson.
The students are kinda told it’s a test, in a way… so that they will be committed to trying to complete the mission. ie. their instructors are lying to them. (That’s Kirk’s complaint in the Kelvin timeline.)
It seems more that it is a scenario in a collection of simulations cadets are expected to try as part of their training. Being included in the set invites the inference that it is doable.
The point of the lesson is that students cannot achieve the specified mission objectives… they need to come to terms with this, and, as a result, grow as leaders. Become more mature and grown up. Have a more balanced and grounded viewpoint.
The only way to “fail” is to achieve the mission objectives. In fact… the exercise has failed it’s purpose if students think of it as a pass/fail situation. Crews are not failing if they do not rescue the Kobiashu Maru.
The point of Kirk’s cheating story is that he was unique in failing to learn the lesson… (and still become a captain.)

Which 10 things should we stay away from in life? | Overthinking.
It just fucking takes up a lot of my energy and my precious time and does no good. I would avoid it at any cost,ser.
It spoils my mood for the whole day, sometimes even weeks. Sucks.
The worst part about it is, you can’t really make people understand why you’re so upset about that girl bitching about you in high school 10 years ago.
It’s hard moving on from shitty things when you’re an overthinker.
Why can’t I just overthink about the good things in my life??
Oh wait…. there ain’t any. :|

What is the future tense of teach? | First of all there is nothing called future tense of verbs . We have only three forms of verbs .
Present form or 1st form or V1.Past form or 2nd form or V2.Past participle form or 3rd form or V3.
Now if you want to write something in future tense using Teach . Then it should be done like this =
I shall teach him from tomorrow .
The structure is : subject (I) + shall/will+verb 1st form (teach)+object .
Hope you understand :D

What is the biggest problem with the modern education system? | Be kids not terrible it needs more parental involvement. Paperwork reduction for teachers. More equality in pay. You'll find more master degreesi in one elementary school than most corporations.. more doctorates in the upper echelon of schools than most major businesses.
Seems most on the right think teachers don't need to make a living. That they don't need raises for their work is only criticized by said law makers. Do they forget who gave them what they need to know to get their job. Who put up with their whiney shit to graduate them. There are drop outs and there are well educated people because a teacher took the extra time to teach or tutor them.
They cut the teachers throat for their wealthy l lobbies. Imo.

What is a proxy, and how can I use one? | A proxy server is a computer that acts as an intermediary between your computer and the Internet. When you access the Internet, your computer will first connect to the proxy server, which will then connect to the website you want to access. The proxy server will then send the website information back to your computer.
Proxy servers can be used for a variety of purposes, such as to improve security or to filter content. When used for security, a proxy server can help to protect your computer from malware or hackers. By filtering content, a proxy server can block websites that contain offensive or illegal content.
There are a few different types of proxy servers, including web proxies, application proxies, and SOCKS proxies. Web proxies are the most common type of proxy server. They can be used to access websites that are blocked by your ISP or firewall. Application proxies can be used to access specific applications that are blocked. SOCKS proxies can be used to access any type of Internet traffic, including email, chat, and file sharing.
Proxy servers can be configured in a number of ways. They can be configured to allow or deny access to specific websites or IP addresses. They can also be configured to use different ports for different types of traffic.

What do hotels do with used soap? | Up until a few years back hotels mostly chucked toiletries away. Now almost all the big brand / top chains have policies in place to recycle.
Many hotels do not have soap bars at all, they place small bottles of refillable soap (liquid) and refillable bottles of shampoo /conditioner, eg the Marriott.
Some hotels consciously recycle their soaps (have them sent to recycle centers) eg IHG and Hilton
There are also a few organizations that collect used toiletries for recycling, e.g. Clean the World, Clean Conscience.
Smaller or local hotel chains have usually have a “on demand” policy that eliminates excess from the point of origin, they provide toiletries only when asked for. And then too their products are the very tiniest single or dual use type - which means that any excess is minimal. Some frugal hotel owners press the used bars together to be used by their staff later on, or make a solution of the leftover soaps to be used in cleaning toilets. These practices originate not out of a desire to recycle or be environmentally conscious but as a result of frugality and cost cutting, and a family owned or small hotel will almost always have some such trick up its sleeve.

Who are some of the big hearted citizens of India? | Without any doubt my vote will go to Gautam gambhir who has announced that he would pay for all the education expenses for children of 25 CRPF personnel martyred in an attack by Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Sukma area.
He is a patriotic guy. Even when no was ready to sponsor Indian ice hockey team for Asian ice hockey tournament then he came to rescue them and donated 4 lakhs to Indian ice hockey association so that they can represent our country.
That’s what he had said on social media.
I felt it is a moral responsibility to support the game of ice hockey, it is a disgrace that in a country like India where sports have so much support these games are neglected. As a sportsman I believe I should always support smaller games.
A very large section of cricket fans hate him. They says that he is an arrogant player and he is very rude to his teammates but in reality, he is totally opposite of what people says about him. He is a very kind hearted person who always helps those who are in trouble. A man with a golden heart!
And even today after he played a very wonderful inning of 71 runs not out, he was awarded by Man of the match title but what he did after recieving the prize money of 1 lakh rupees, won the heart of every cricket fan from his wonderful gesture.
He said during match presentation-
Whatever awards I've earned, all money goes to CRPF jawans.
And this is how people reacted after he announced that he would pay for all the education expenses for children of 25 CRPF personnel martyred in an attack by Maoists-
After sukma attack, lots of Indian including sportsman and celebrities expressed their anger towards maoists for whatever they did to our CRPF soldiers but no one did what Gautam gambhir did for the children of CRPF soldiers who were killed in maoist attack.
People were kept talking about the attack but at the same time Gautam did whatever he could do for the betterment of the future of CRPF soldier’s childrens.
Action speaks louder than words.
God bless this man, Gautam gambhir!

Who really runs the world? | The concept of who "really" runs the world is a complex and debated topic. While it may be tempting to say that some rich people run the world, it is important to consider a broader perspective.
In reality, the world is governed by a complex web of interconnected systems, institutions, and power dynamics. While wealthy individuals and corporations do hold significant influence, it is crucial to acknowledge that there are various other forces at play.
Political leaders, governments, and international organizations play a pivotal role in shaping global affairs. They make decisions that impact economies, societies, and the environment. Additionally, cultural influencers, intellectuals, activists, and grassroots movements also contribute to shaping public opinion and steering societal discourse.
Moreover, advancements in technology have empowered individuals and communities to have a voice and influence on a global scale. Social media platforms have become powerful tools for mobilization and advocacy, allowing ordinary people to challenge the status quo and demand change.
Ultimately, power is not solely concentrated in the hands of a select few wealthy individuals. It is distributed among various actors who collectively shape the world we live in. Recognizing this complexity and understanding the interplay of different forces is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of global dynamics.

What are the differences between those who succeed slowly and those who succeed fast? | “Winning the lottery is the worst thing that happened to me.”~ Billy Bob Harrell Jr.
It’s June 1997, Billy Bob Harrell Jr. had won $31 Million in a Texas lottery jackpot. He couldn’t believe his luck and was elated beyond his imagination.
Before winning the lottery Billy, a former marine had lost his 12 year old job as a print shop manager and was working with Home Depot as a stocking agent for the past 3 years. Married with 3 children, a highly religious man — he was barely able to make ends meet.
Winning the lottery changed his life. But a series of poor decisions made him lose it all. Let’s take a look👇🏾
The lottery company was supposed to pay Billy 25 annual instalments of $1.24 Million. This is a significant windfall. However, Billy had other ideas. He…
— Donated 10% of his money to his Church.
— Couldn’t say “NO” to other churches when they approached him for more money.
— Bought 480 turkeys for needy families.
— Bought a ranch, a few houses for his family, and new cars for himself, his wife and his kids.
— Found a new girlfriend and to impress her he bought her expensive gifts, cars, jewellery, etc.
— Couldn’t control his spending. He agreed to pay $6 Million in 10 years to a fraudulent company to access a lump sum loan of $2.25 Million immediately.
This string of poor decisions started impacting his relationships. His wife decided to separate and divorce him 8 months after winning the lottery. The pressure kept mounting and Billy shot himself in May 1999. Less than 2 years since he won one of the biggest lotteries the world has known.
What can we learn from this?
Billy, let the winnings get to his head. He did not have to work hard to earn his windfall and he
Didn’t know how to handle successHad a hard time managing his relationships. He couldn't differentiate the important from the not so importantWasn’t sure how to manage the change in his financial conditionDidn’t value the money he earned
When success takes a long time to come, it provides you
Lessons along the way to handle failure & struggleWith tools and a mindset to manage your emotionsUnderstanding to value the money and successInsight and confidence regarding how to get there if needed all over again
Moral of the story: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.
While this is not something that will happen to everyone and is a case of extremes. Immediate success brings with it a lot of unresolved issues.
Cheers,
~N

How is Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If’ racist? It is obviously sexist, but I cannot see racist undertones in it. | As others have said “If” is not racist (or sexist for that matter being addressed to his son Jack). However Kipling is regarded by many as racist and imperialist (often by people who haven’t read him), and therefore verboten; his poem “White man’s burden” is often regarded as proof of this, whilst a couple of his stories have disparaging comments about Jewish people.
The issue is do we ban work by writers whose views are at odds with those of the educated Western elite? Off the top of my head Shakespeare, Marlowe and Dickens all have horrible Jewish stereotypes in their work, do we ban these writers? And many other great writers also have viewpoints that I find uncomfortable.
Looking into the future; presumably many of our present lauded writers will in fifty or hundred years appear to offend the mores of that time.
Kipling wrote many great stories and poems (although I find “If” trite and childlike), and unfortunately he is undervalued now, and even was towards the end of his life.

Which movie do you feel in Tamil is underrated? | I'm not a great movie buff though. But I felt that the 2016 Tamil film called Joker is underrated in terms of popularity in TN. Ofcourse it has rated as 8.4 in IMDB rating. Hence it's not considered as underrating. But it's not popular as it was expected by Tamil audience is my opinion. What a simple story line and the exposure of an ordinary person's life in harsh conditions is tremendous. Joker is not simply funny term but a harsh reality in this movie. Please do watch.
And I love the below song which reverberates in mind with nice feeling. It reflects the life of an ordinary Indian in this simple yet powerful song.

Are anti-abortion laws Godly? | Many good answers here. Another point to consider:
If God is omniscient, why would he put a soul within a fetus he knows will be aborted? Christians tell us our body is just a shell for our souls. When we die, our shells decay and our souls ascend to heaven. So what's the uproar over an abortion? God would simply put a soul in a new body, a new shell.

What would happen if there was only one isotope of each element? Would humanity survive? | You know, we almost got out of this without an Everyone Dies™ (hypothetical scenario) [ https://www.quora.com/topic/Everyone-Dies-hypothetical-scenario ]
I really had to rack my brain for quite a while here. At first glance, it seems like just having one isotope of each element shouldn’t cause any problems. Now, you could randomly pick a radioactive isotope (like only H-3 for hydrogen), but that’s a little too easy (not that I normally mind that sort of thing).
If we pick just stable isotopes, though, life should soldier on without incident. But what fun is that?
How am I going to ruin everyone’s future just by eliminating isotopes?
By preventing the universe from creating heavy elements…naturally.
Stellar nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_nucleosynthesis ]
You see, without different isotopes, hydrogen fusion just doesn’t work. You need both protium and deuterium to make it possible for hydrogen to fuse into helium. From there, the helium fuses into carbon and all of the heavier elements of which planets, rocks, and people are largely made.
No deuterium? No life.

What is the most misunderstood picture that has become famous (or infamous)? | Fair warning - there's a disturbing albeit familiar image in this answer.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Most of you may remember this image.
It is a grisly, iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning photo from the Vietnam War that shocked the world.
My eyes were always strangely drawn to the Executioner, General Nguyen Ngoc Loan.
The blend of his menacing face, the nonchalance in shooting the man, one must wonder, what leads a person down this path to villainy?
How could one so quickly kill a bound, unarmed prisoner?
Upon my further investigation - this might be one of the most misunderstood photos in history.
The plainly dressed victim might resemble a normal pedestrian - but he was no ordinary prisoner.
He was the leader of a Vietcong death squad, that had infiltrated Saigon with the express purpose of assassinating a long list of people.
He had personally executed several military officers and their entire families.
He was found standing over a grave with 34 bodies in it, that included women and children that had been killed execution style.
Following this famous photo, Loan continued fighting in the war for several years.
He was later injured, losing one leg.
Loan and his wife eventually escaped to the US. Where he had 5 children and owned a restaurant in Virginia.
But his life was haunted by the photo that was taken of him as he was held up as a standard bearer for the evils of war.
Loan's property was frequently vandalized and he was targeted by various outlets over the years.
The photographer, Eddie Adams, was deeply regretful of ever having taken the picture. He knew Loan well and stated that he was a good man and misrepresented. Adams felt he captured two deaths in that photo: that of the victim and that of Loan.
And - to be clear - this answer is not an attempt to absolve this man of all blame. This is dark stuff.
However, what Loan did was not far beyond the bounds of what other soldiers were doing.
War is and has always been hell. To pretend it is anything less is to pretend fire isn't hot.
So before making demons of men, remember: given the wrong circumstances, we are all capable of terrible things.
After all, we are human.

How can a piece of paper folded 103 times be larger than the observable universe? | 2^103 is a ridiculously large number, so taking an imaginary sheet of paper that is say 0.05 mm thick, that’s 5*10^29 mm, 5*10^23km, and one light year is 10^13 km. 1 billion light years are 10^22 km, still fifteen times smaller than our paper tower, which rises 15 billion light years. The furthest objects appear to be at around 13 billion light years.
To be noted that mathematicians are free to play around with ridiculous numbers, cause after all, it’s fantasy. But engineers know that someone has to pay both for the bulk and for the precision. Stuff in engineering come at a price.

Has Silicon Valley reached its peak? | Absolutely not. It still has tons of room to grow.
There are always speed bumps in Silicon Valley's growth, as there are in every economy’s. Currently the biggest issues are traffic congestion and insufficient housing. Traffic jams on weekends are now very common, and rush hour congestion is terrible. This drains productivity and quality of life. The very high housing prices, rent, and the bidding wars to get housing are getting out of hand.
It is normal and healthy to have a downturn. That pullback gives housing, highways and public transit time to catch up. It also forces weak companies out of business. I would not be surprised to see a one or two year recession soon. After that I would expect to see strong continued growth.
Why do I predict more growth? For all the same reasons that SV is so strong now: diverse, technical workforce, innovative spirit, access to VC, modern, open management philosophy, etc. all in the world's most perfect climate.

What's it like being a Slider, a person whose energy effects electronic equipment by making it shut down, malfunction or go haywire? | It’s honestly annoying. I cringe when someone says a new piece of technology has a touch screen. I can’t wear a wrist watch (neither could my grandmother). I can’t use touch lamps, either. My entire family will inform me when they have bought a touch lamp just for the purpose of letting me know I can’t touch it. I have burned out all of the ones at my mother’s house (sorry mom). My ex husband used to think it was funny. I just have to use older or simpler technology.
It’s not something that has scientists have studied much or I anticipate will study for three reasons.
1 - It does’t affect a large percentage of the population
2 - (As far as I know) It isn’t harmful to anyone. It’s just annoying.
3 - It can’t be controlled at will. It’s not a supernatural “power”.

Why is my dog making me sick? Every few weeks I am experiencing viral/norovirus symptoms after being in contact with my dog, my partner is also having the symptoms such as stomach cramps, sickness, migraine and they last for 7-10 days at a time | If its your dog making you sick, then you should be getting sick more often than every few weeks, right? I am assuming you live with your dog and therefore see and touch him every day. So if your dog was making you sick, you would never get better (no breaks in between illnesses) unless you got rid of your dog. However, this is not the case. You get sick for a week or two and then you are better for a week or two, so it doesn't make sense fornit to be your dog.

What are some little known benefits to leasing a vehicle rather than purchasing? | Leasing a luxury car—especially if you want a new car every 3 year—can make a lot of sense and has been popular for decades. Perhaps that’s because a luxury car loses value through depreciation even more rapidly than does a vehicle with a lower MSRP.
But there’s a cost to having the latest and greatest all the time. “You’re paying only for that part of the car’s lifetime that you’ll be using’” is a common claim. That’s true, but it’s the most *expensive* part of the car's lifetime. And this greater loss ends up being paid for by the person doing the leasing.
The fact so many ordinary cars are leased is an indication either that 1) most people are very well off today, or 2) there are too many people out there living beyond their means, and who will suffer for this later when they can’t afford to retire. The classic case was a guy calling in on the radio, who had purchased a $55,000 truck on a $44,000 annual income. A huge number of people run up debt they’ll never be able to repay. Leasing can be a factor in this… people living a far wealthier person’s lifestyle, who might regret their actions later, when it’s too late.
The average person would do well to buy either a new car or a certified used car, and keep it at least 7 or 8 years.
Plus, I think people concerned about their financial future should buy a car with an MSRP price not exceeding half their gross income.

How do I analytically analyse an engine’s cooling system? | The purpose of the cooling system is to remove excess combustion heat from the engine block and cylinder head.
The efficacy of the system is determined by comparing performance to design criteria.
If you don’t have the design criteria, you can do real time testing.
From cold start at average ambient temperature and moderate speed, it should take 5 to 8 minutes to come to operating temperature.Begin at normal operating temperature, average ambient temperature, and moderate speed; increase speed by 10 mph steps; observe if there is a rise in operating temperature. There should be no increase in the first three speed increase steps. There may be a slight increase in the fourth speed step. This is normal.At full operating temperature; park the car in an area that is sheltered from any wind. Block the wheels and set the parking brake; place automatic transmission in drive; run the engine with AC on for 10 minute periods. There should be no increase in engine temperature for the first two periods and a slight rise in the next two. This is normal.At the end of the last test; if you can safely do so; still in drive gear; increase the engine RPM by 300 to 400 RPM for two more 5 minute periods. The temperature will increase some with each period of time, but should not approach the temperature warning point (usually 240 to 250 degrees F). AT THE END OF THIS TEST, RETURN TO PARK, RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE, UNBLOCK THE WHEELS, AC OFF, AND DRIVE FOR 10 MINUTES AT MODERATE SPEED.
The aggregate of these tests will give a good indication of the “health” of the cooling system.

What is it like being a farmer? Are farmers happy? | Yes , farmers are happy whenever they have a look at their farm after sowing the seeds.When they see their tiny seeds growing into little plants , they look like a father feeling proud of their child.The purest heart, happiest soul and heartful smile are the greatest properties that a farmer own.
My dad is also a farmer.He loves growing plants from his childhood.When he grew up,he did a business which actually he was less interested.Recently he secretely started farming(because my mom considers farming as a risk because of previous experiences).She is unwilling to allow my father to take financial risks as a typical Indian mother of two daughters.When I finally figured it out from a conversation with relative,I just revealed it in my house.You can,of course expect a big thunder in my house.Later my mom just got convinced because she knew that he however can't leave his passion.I'm now very proud of my father after watching a vast change in our very own farm and the new look he had bought in it.The farm is looking really good and a path for water was created for every plant receive enough amount of water.He also uses plant and animal excretes as fertilizers.He was farming only for greenery and I always find him happy when he was walking in the farm and making every plant healthy.
A big salute to all the farmers.
Everyone wants food in this world.But no one (except farmers) wants to sow a single seed.
Farmers are really great.Without their existence,there is no chance for existence of life in world.
This an image my father asked me to click.He was really happy that day.

Can you describe your whole-day routine at an IIT/NIT? | Since I am currently under JRF programme, I am supposed to give four biometric punches on every working day. My day typically starts at 9.00 am in the morning. I generally reach lab at 10 a.m.(sometimes I even come at 9.30 A.M). I go back to the hostel for lunch at 1.00 pm. Then I come back generally at 2 pm if I am not sleeping(which I used to previously) then work till 7.00 pm. Then I home-tutor a kid of Class 5 till 8.30/8.45 pm. I come back to the hostel at 9.00 pm. After that, I do spend some time with my roommate chatting and all, sometimes I even watch movies with her. I generally go to sleep at 12.00–12.30 am. This is my routine as of now which is subject to change.

What is "wine etiquette" not being followed by most wine lovers? Why? | I think a significant aspect of wine etiquette that is ignored by many (not most) wine lovers is to just shut up and enjoy the wine.
Take a cue from Winston Wolf, Harvey Keitel’s character in the 90s Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction:
The coffee is delicious, as we discovered in a previous scene, but you don't see Mr. Wolf putting on a big display about it. He nods his appreciation of it, and gets on with his business.
That's what wine etiquette dictates. Appreciate the wine, and then get on with your business.
Why does this happen? Because people want to make everything bigger and fancier than it needs to be. I love a great glass of wine, a delicious meal, a beautiful work of art, or anything else enjoyable. But at some point, you have to carry on with whatever else you're doing. Enjoy it, acknowledge it, and move on.
