Why do luggage manufacturers advertise luggage as carry-on if it slightly exceeds the carry-on dimensions on the major airlines?
The major American airlines have a carry-on limit of 22in x 14in x 9in but I see even high end manufacturers call 23" height, 15" width, or 10" depth pieces as carry-on? Are they just trying to make something bigger and hope you don't get forced to fit your luggage into the fit test box at the airport?

How do you find a location where you can plant seeds with the highest chance that they remain undisturbed long enough that the plant's descendants will live on forever?
For example, I had a sunflower (native to my area) that I liked and kept seeds from its descendants every year. I would like to do some guerilla gardening with some of those seeds with the hope that nature will continue to propagate them year after year. What's the best way to select a place to plant such seeds safe from lawnmowers ?
When discharging someone on hospice, do you send them home with oral antibiotics or other medications so they don't immediately decompensate at home?
For example if they have a UTI or pneumonia with sepsis and got like 3 days of antibiotics and improved before they decided hospice for next time they get sick. Do you send them with a few days of antibiotics to finish treating the current symptoms? Or electrolyte supplements for people with chronic diarrhea that you resuscitated and corrected their electrolyte derangements?
What is the most intellectually honest way to compare the amount of pertinent education between physicians and mid-levels?
I know people here often say that physicians have 8 years of school plus residency and include undergraduate studies. However not all of undergraduate education is pertinent to being a physician. For example I was an engineering major and I can't honestly say my classes on semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing or how to make a phased array antenna is pertinent for being a physician. Some of the prerequisites for medical school such as organic chemistry and biology should contribute to the physician's education though. Even calculus is needed to understand the area under the curve for drug dosing. A lot of K-12 education is also important for both being a physician and mid-level including how to read and do basic math.
The other thing is mid level education goes through much less material even for the same amount of time spent in the classroom (similar to calculus for engineers vs business major calculus) and I don't know how to correct for that.
What is the truly honest amount of specialized pertinent vocational education difference between mid-levels and physicians?
At Geonosis when sneaking up behind the Separatist leaders, why did Mace Windu put his lightsaber at Jango Fett's throat instead of Count Dooku's throat?
Was it for professional courtesy and respect due to Dooku's time as a respected Jedi? Was it that Mace Windu knew he would not be able to sneak up to Dooku and Dooku was just humoring him the entire time? Was Jango Fett the greater threat at the time?
Also when the Battle Droids came to engage Mace Windu, why did Dooku not also attack Mace Windu and why did Jango Fett wait several seconds before engaging Mace Windu with the flamethrower? The best bounty hunter in the galaxy would surely have better reaction time. Given Mace Windu immediately turns his back on the higher threat targets of a Jedi and Bounty Hunter to focus on battle droids makes it seem neither side actually wanted to fight the other.

ELI5: How does Sahara desert dust remain airborne long enough to get to South America if dirt is much denser than air?
I've heard that South America is fertilized by vast plumes of Sahara desert dust blowing over the Atlantic Ocean. I can understand wind blowing soil several meters before returning back to the ground but what are the physics that allow the dust to defy gravity? Are the dust particles shaped with large surface area to weight ratio as to allow the wind to keep lifting and blowing it like a sheet of paper or plastic bag?

[Star Trek] How did Starfleet force the Borg to drop out of warp and engage the fleet at Wolf 359 instead of continuing towards Earth?
Did the Borg just see an opportunity for assimilation and choose to make a pit stop to gain information that can assist their attack on Earth? Is there a way to force an enemy ship to drop out of warp?
Have you lost the ability for great sympathy when friends/family have non-critical medical problems?
For example, my girlfriend's mother fell and broke her wrist and was managed non-operatively and discharged from the emergency department. My girlfriend was itching to drive 2 states over immediately like it was a hospital admission for a hip fracture and I am more like it sucks and you should visit your mom but she'll be fine and probably should be checked for osteoporosis by her PCP.

Were my Black Russian Sunflower seeds actually a different variety?
I bought the Black Russian Sunflower seeds from MIgardener and when they started to bloom at a short height, I assumed it was due to my poor quality construction fill soil and that I didn't take care of weeds. However what puzzles me is that many of the flowers have multiple heads and I thought Black Russian Sunflowers are single head.
How do locums doctors fill empty spots in the schedule on short notice if hospital credentialing takes around 3 months?
Is it something like they are credentialed to the locums company and the locums company just vouches for them that they are legit?
Why do my nectarine and peach trees look so sickly?
Central Illinois. I bought both of them earlier this season from a local nursery. I planted them in the ground and for the first 2 months or so they looked ok and made fruit but now they are looking like this. Lots of the fruit had holes in them with maggots on the inside so I'm wondering if that is related to this or a separate pest problem.
