Response: I had no clue salty foods and alcohol could contribute to foot odor. How does that work?

Response: Foods and drinks high in sodium cause your body to retain water, which can lead to swelling and increase the odor of your feet.  Excessive salt can also cause a buildup of calcium in your system, which may also contribute to foot odor.  Alcohol, especially beer, increases the bacteria in your gut, which can cause foot odor.  These effects are somewhat temporary, but it may be worthwhile to cut back on salty foods and alcohol in order to improve the smell of your feet.

Response: Is there any other dietary restrictions I should consider?

Response: In addition to reducing salt and alcohol, here are some things you could do to reduce the odor of your feet:  1) Cut down on sugar.  High sugar intake can cause fungal growth, which is a source of foot odor.  2) Eat more fruits and vegetables.  They contain antioxidants that can prevent the growth of bacteria in your feet, which reduces foot odor.  3) Increase your intake of water.  Drinking water helps to reduce the moisture in your feet, which in turn reduces foot odor.

Response: Here are some other strategies that might help reduce the odor of your feet:  1) Keep your feet clean and dry.  Clean your feet daily, preferably with a gentle soap, and dry them thoroughly.  This will reduce the amount of odor-causing bacteria in your feet.  2) Avoid wearing the same pair of socks for more than a day or two.  When you wear a pair of socks for too long, the buildup of sweat, dead skin cells, and dirt in them can contribute to foot odor.  3) Consider applying an anti-odor cream to your feet.  These products contain ingredients that reduce foot odor.  However, you should make sure to choose one that is safe for your feet.


Response: Why is inflation so high?

Response: Why is inflation so high?

Response: I think that’s a really good question!  There are many factors that influence inflation, but I’m not sure how much time we have, so for now, let’s go over a simple summary of the major factors:  - There’s a strong connection between how much goods and services cost and the way the economy works.  - The way the economy works in turn depends on the goods and services being available, how productive labor is, how productive machinery is, how much the population is growing, etc.  - Governments can try to keep inflation low by doing certain things, like putting money in interest-bearing accounts so that it’s not used to buy goods and services.  - On the other hand, if the government needs a lot of money for war, or whatever, then it can print more money, which can lead to more inflation.  - More generally, anything that increases productivity and goods and services

Response: So why is it at a 40 year high right now?

Response: It’s hard to say!  There are many factors that influence inflation, but to keep it simple, here are a few that seem to have an impact right now:  - More goods and services are being made, as manufacturing grows, as computers get better, as more people are able to work and make more goods.  - Inflation is happening more around the world, which makes it more convenient for people to move around, and also means that the government can print more money without a dramatic impact on the cost of imports, which can drive inflation.  - Many governments around the world are printing more money to stimulate the economy, which also drives inflation.  - The political situation around the world is also more stable than it used to be, which means that more people around the world are working and earning more money, which drives inflation.  - It’s also important to note that inflation in one country can lead to higher


Response: How do sailboats sail against the wind?

Response: How do sailboats sail against the wind?

Response: “Against the wind” means against the direction that the wind is blowing.  Actually, sailboats often sail in the same direction as the wind is blowing, because the wind is a “force” and is pushing against the sail and “pushing” the boat forwards.  The main role of the sailor is to adjust the angle of the sail against the wind so as to control the speed of the boat.

The main role of the sailor is to adjust the angle of the sail against the wind so as to control the speed of the boat.

Response: SO they can angle the sail to still take advantage of bad wind directions?

Response: Yes, so that the speed of the boat is the maximum speed possible for the wind conditions.  This is called tacking.


Response: What temperature should I have my thermostat on in the winter time?

Response: What temperature should I have my thermostat on in the winter time?

Response: In general, it’s best to keep your thermostat set at around 60°F (15°C) when it’s cold outside, which will keep you nice and warm. Setting your thermostat lower will also save you money on heating your home, so this is a good option if you want to save money or be more environmentally friendly. You can also keep your thermostat slightly higher, around 65°F (18°C), to feel extra warm. For colder areas or particularly chilly days, you may want to set your thermostat even higher, around 75°F (24°C), but this can sometimes be a bit warm and energy-intensive.

Response: I usually set mine on 72 degrees, but I think that is causing me to use too much electricity lately.

Response: You’re right, 72°F is an especially warm setting, which will lead to higher energy use and expenses on your electricity bill. Setting your thermostat around 70°F to 75°F will be more energy-efficient, as this is a good temperature that will keep you warm but still save you money on your electricity bill. However, if you prefer a warmer setting, you can also try lowering your thermostat slightly, say to around 65°F or so, to feel warmer while still saving money on your electricity bill.

Response: I have to fire someone and don't think it's going to go well. Do you have any recommendations on how to approach this?

Response: In my experience, approaching people in a way that’s straightforward, clear, and respectful tends to go well. That said, everyone’s unique, and it’s also possible that it’ll be difficult for you and this person to interact, so this isn’t a guarantee. How would you like me to help?

Response: You want to be gentle, respectful, and clear about the situation. The most basic option would be something like:  “I’m not happy about the situation that’s come up with your work. Can you tell me what you’ve learned from this, and how we should move forward?”  However, that’s more of a “business” approach. Personally, I’d be inclined to use a more human approach, such as:  “I think it’s important that you’re doing your best, and that I’m doing my best, so can we talk for a bit and see if we can improve what’s going on?”

Response: I don't think either of those will work considering I will be firing her. These responses seem like they would be best for someone who will be staying at the company. It's too late for this person to improve or move forward. I'd just like help with telling them they're fired without angering them.

Response: Oh, I see. That’s a complicated situation. What I can do is suggest some options for how to break it to them. For example:  “I have some bad news and it’s hard for me to say. I’m going to tell you straight-forward, in the hopes that it’s best for both of us to hear it directly and head-on.”  “I wanted to have this conversation face-to-face, but we haven’t been able to make it happen. I’m sorry, but I have to say it now. I’m firing you. This is what I think the cause of the issue is. Would you like to tell me anything you feel is relevant to this situation?”


Response: How do you care for a Lily of the Valley plant?

Response: How do you care for a Lily of the Valley plant?

Response: You should really look this up, but here’s my best advice:  If you live in a warm climate, you should keep the soil moist at all times and water it regularly.  A Lily of the Valley is a perennial shrub, so its life span is at least several years.

It’s possible to get a kind of hipster look in addition to the emo style.  Also, it might help if you style your hair -- that is, try to arrange it in a way that conforms to some of the more extreme styles of the 1980s emo bands.

Response: Can you explain the opioid crisis to me?

Response: Can you explain the opioid crisis to me?

Response: Yes, I’m happy to. It’s a serious health problem that kills tens of thousands of Americans every year, and it started because of the rise in the number of doctors prescribing opioids for pain.  The trouble was that there was little or no effective treatment for pain other than opioids. But these drugs have addictive properties, so once people started using them, addiction followed.

Response: How do you prevent cradle cap?

Response: How do you prevent cradle cap?

Response: Cradle cap is a skin condition that commonly affects infants, causing a thick, crusty buildup of skin oil on the scalp.  To prevent cradle cap, it’s important to regularly wash and moisturize the infant’s scalp, as well as avoid using harsh hair products or oils on the infant’s hair.  It’s also important to make sure the infant’s sleeping environment is properly ventilated, to minimize contact with moisture and humidity.  Finally, it’s important to avoid exposing the infant to excessive amounts of sunlight, as this can worsen cradle cap.


Response: I'm trying to learn various forms of government.  What is the difference between socialism and communism?

Response: I'm trying to learn various forms of government.  What is the difference between socialism and communism?

Response: Thanks for reaching out!  There are many distinct terms, but let me just offer a quick start.  Socialism often means a specific type of economic system, where a large number of organizations own property in common.  This is sometimes contrasted to the “free market”, where a large number of individuals own property in common.  The free market is said to be characterized by individual liberty, as opposed to socialism, which some people see as less compatible with individual liberty.  Note that socialism also encompasses several different definitions, including the distributive version of capitalism that many people currently live in (meaning many different organizations own the same types of property).  Communism is a philosophical perspective that suggests that some forms of property and wealth distribution are unfair and should be reformed.  It’s also a political system where the government owns all property and its resources.  The Soviet Union is a major example of the latter version.  The original Communist philosophy is associated with Marx, who is considered one of the most influential political philosophers of the 20th century.

Response: You gave me the definition of the two terms but can you give the difference between the two?

Response: The term socialism is used in many different contexts, so it’s often not used to describe a specific form of government or economics.  The Communist philosophical perspective might be described as a form of socialism, but it’s also been combined with many different other perspectives and ideologies.  Communism is often contrasted with Capitalism, which means many different companies own property in common, whereas a communist system means the government owns all property.  The USSR is an example of a communist system, whereas most of modern-day Europe is a good example of a capitalist system, with individual companies or countries owning the same types of property.

Response: What is Omicron?

Response: What is Omicron?

Response: Omicron is the 13th letter in the Greek alphabet, which is the source of the English letter O. Omicron is often called "Waw". The same basic letter forms have been used in many human languages to represent sounds and concepts. In general, Omicron represents open-mouthed sounds such as U, I, and sometimes O. These sound have breathy connotations, and may often be referred to as "sh" sounds in English. In a few languages, the sound Omicron represents is an N or a M.

Response: The symptoms that are common for all people with COVID-19 are a fever, a cough, and shortness of breath. However, there is a lot of variation in the symptoms that people experience when they are infected. The symptoms can appear within days after infection, or can even appear in people who were never tested.  There is no single set of symptoms that defines a COVID-19 case. In the Omicron virus, symptoms include loss of taste and smell, muscle pain, headache, and shortness of breath.


Response: What does a doula do?

Response: What does a doula do?

Response: A doula can be an experienced labor support person who provides continuous labor support to a woman and her partner during childbirth. This person can be a trusted friend or family member, or a trained and certified professional.   A doula can help the couple to feel more relaxed, confident, and prepared for labor and birth. A doula might bring things like a birth ball to use for labor positions, or oils to soothe the laboring woman. A doula can help the couple to connect with and bond with their new baby, as well as support the couple and their family after birth.

Response: So they can deliver the baby then?

Response: I think you’re asking if a doula is allowed to perform the delivery? The answer is, that depends. In general, in many countries, it is illegal for anyone but a doctor, or a nurse that the doctor is working with, to do any delivery-related tasks.  Some doulas take the view that they are empowering a couple and providing support during labor, and not delivering the baby. Others are trained as nurses, and will only facilitate the labor, which they leave to the doctor, but still take the view that they aren’t delivering the baby.

Response: My son has been asking for a corn snake for a while now. Can you give me some basic information relative to care and handling?

Response: My son has been asking for a corn snake for a while now. Can you give me some basic information relative to care and handling?

Response: Sure, this is a really great animal to care for! Here’s some of the things to know about corn snakes:  -they need a vivarium or aquarium that is no smaller than 18 inches across. They do well at room temperature, and prefer to be warm and humid.  A lot of mycological substrates work well for them, they’ll like to be in a space with plants, and they like to feel secure in their environment.  -They’re also vegetarians, and will feed on small insects and mice.  It can be good to let them choose their prey, which means using a trap, or if you have your own pets, you can just encourage your pet to offer itself as food.  I’ve seen lots of people use mealworms as a treat, too.  Avoid crickets, which are basically live feed for many species of snake.  -They need a really nice basking spot, which is a spot that is sunlit for most of the day but can be tucked away at night. They like to feel comfortable but not get too hot, so a spot that’s 5-10 degrees Celsius above room temperature is ideal. Some snakes are pickier than others, and have a lot of behavioral traits that are unique to them.  Just make sure your basking spot is within a few degrees of the optimal temperature, and also make sure it’s sheltered from the sun during the hottest part of the day, from about 2 pm-5 pm.   -You need to keep a clean vivarium, and you might find that you have to change the substrate quite often, as corn snakes like to bury and dig around.  -Your corn snake’s mealworms will breed, so you can collect the offspring and offer them to your corn snake as a treat. I’d encourage you to read up on how to care for mealworms if you haven’t already, so you can give them a happy, healthy life and they’ll have nice big offspring for your corn snake to snack on.   -Corn snakes have heat sensors on the tip of their nose and near the base of their skull, so they don’t need to be exposed to daylight to tell if it’s warm enough in their environment.  Just make sure to provide lots of security and hiding spots, and provide shelter from the elements.

I’ve seen lots of people use mealworms as a treat, too.  Avoid crickets, which are basically live feed for many species of snake.  -They need a really nice basking spot, which is a spot that is sunlit for most of the day but can be tucked away at night. They like to feel comfortable but not get too hot, so a spot that’s 5-10 degrees Celsius above room temperature is ideal. Some snakes are pickier than others, and have a lot of behavioral traits that are unique to them.  Just make sure your basking spot is within a few degrees of the optimal temperature, and also make sure it’s sheltered from the sun during the hottest part of the day, from about 2 pm-5 pm.   -You need to keep a clean vivarium, and you might find that you have to change the substrate quite often, as corn snakes like to bury and dig around.  -Your corn snake’s mealworms will breed, so you can collect the offspring and offer them to your corn snake as a treat. I’d encourage you to read up on how to care for mealworms if you haven’t already, so you can give them a happy, healthy life and they’ll have nice big offspring for your corn snake to snack on.   -Corn snakes have heat sensors on the tip of their nose and near the base of their skull, so they don’t need to be exposed to daylight to tell if it’s warm enough in their environment.  Just make sure to provide lots of security and hiding spots, and provide shelter from the elements.

Response: How old do corn snakes usually live to be?

Response: Corn snakes can live to be fifteen or more years old in captivity, but a few are known to live much longer, into the 30’s and beyond.  I think the record-holder was a 36 year old, but most seem to live somewhere in the teens, before they die from natural causes.  Snakes have a long life span for reptiles.


Response: How do I dust my room?

Response: How do I dust my room?

Response: Try vacuuming frequently to freshen the air in the room and to pick up dust. Make sure you don’t vacuum too frequently, as this can stir up dust, but it should be done at least once or twice a week to keep the air fresh and the room clean. Also, it’s a good idea to dust frequently, to freshen the air in the room and also to remove dust from surfaces. Use a soft, dry dusting cloth or a microfiber cloth to dust surfaces like furniture, windowsills, and desktops. Be sure you don’t overdo it - a quick pass with a dust cloth once or twice a week should be enough. Make sure you don’t touch any surfaces with your cloth too much, since that can also stir up dust.

Response: I've heard that UPS drivers are told to never make left hand turns. Why is this?

Response: I've heard that UPS drivers are told to never make left hand turns. Why is this?

Response: The reason they are told not to make left turns is that left turns are much more dangerous than right turns.

Response: Why does not taking left hand turns save gas?

Response: Generally, taking left hand turns may increase gas consumption because the vehicle has to travel a greater distance to complete the turn, and/dedicate some of its power to making the turn, which may result in it consuming more fuel. Additionally, left hand turns involve the vehicle going off the side of the road and potentially becoming more involved in a crash.

Response: How is tiktok different from instagram?

Response: How is tiktok different from instagram?

Response: In some ways, TikTok is very similar to Instagram. You can post videos from your phone's camera, and both apps have a similar feed of posts that you can like, comment on, and (if you're using a private account) share. TikTok also has a section of the site (at least in the U.S.) that is devoted to recording and sharing videos, sort of like a more limited version of YouTube. However, there are some key differences that set the two sites apart:  Freedom of Expression: While you can post anything you want to Instagram (as long as you're not breaking the law or the terms of service), TikTok has a more limited content policy. In particular, you're not allowed to post content that could be considered an "encouraging" or "supporting" of "unlawful" activities, such as certain types of protests or civil disobedience. It's not clear exactly how TikTok enforces this policy, and they have yet to issue a statement clarifying exactly what is and isn't allowed. Some TikTok users have reportedly had their accounts temporarily or permanently banned for posting content that supported Black Lives Matter, for example. Instagram, on the other hand,

Response: Yes, exactly.  And the other tip I recommend is that once you get into a program or certificate program, you might want to narrow your focus.  For example, if you love writing and you want to get a certificate or degree in creative writing, or if you think you might like to become a journalist, or if you’re interested in public policy you might want to consider a certificate program or a major in public policy or government.  Or if you’re interested in computer science you might want to consider a major or certificate program in that area.

Response: What should I consider if I want breast augmentation?

Response: What should I consider if I want breast augmentation?

Response: Here are some factors to think about when deciding to get breast implants:  - Safety -- Breast implants are associated with a number of potential risks and complications, including rupture, capsular contracture, implant removal, pain, and possible death. The medical complications are not as severe if the implants are made from breast tissue, which makes a lot of sense for your consideration.   - Performance -- breast implants are not a permanent solution for your size issues. They will still change over time and there are significant upkeep costs associated with them. You will need to take measures to prevent capsular contracture if you do opt for breast implants. It can also be hard to know how you look in an objective way since your body is going to interact differently with different size breasts and implants. There are many books that make evaluations for breast size, however these ratings are often a product of cultural expectations and do not take into account physical build and proportions.   - Comfort -- Breast implants are heavier than regular breast tissue and can feel very uncomfortable. Although this discomfort fades with time, they can take up to 6 months to become comfortable.
