Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Hand"

A: "I'll not bite the hand that feeds me"
This is an idiom. It essentially means you won't cause any trouble for the thing you benefit from, especially because you don't want to lose your benefits.
This can be a person, a company, a country; literally anything.

"unless it's into that"
This part is a joke, which plays with the literal meaning of the idiom. Being into something is a way to say that someone has a fetish or kink for something; they get pleasure from it.
It's referring to "biting" here.
"unless it's into biting" - "unless it gets pleasure from others biting it"

-

"I'm not going to argue with the professor about my grade. I'll not bite the hand that feeds me, unless it's into that."

This means that I'm not going to argue with the professor about my grade, because they might choose to lower it instead of raise it

The "unless it's into that" joke no longer refers to the real situation, so the speaker isn't even joking about what the professor gets pleasure from; the professor is no longer the topic at all

A: Вообще be into something - это когда тебе что-то нравится делать, тебя это увлекает или даже возбуждает в известном смысле. Так что перевод получается такой: Я не буду кусать кормящую меня руку, если только ей (руке) такое не нравится. Звучит как юморной намёк.

Examples of situations or problems "getting out of hand":

A: On the one hand, A; on the other hand, B.

A: They are different. "Hand lotion" 是护肤液 . "Hand wash" 是肥皂

对不起 ，我的国语不是很好。这是英文解释: Hand lotion is used to prevent your hands from getting dry. Hand wash is just another way of saying "soap", which is used to wash your hands.

A: Although those hand warmers are past their expiration date...

A: "The deadline has passed." or "It's past the deadline."

You could say something like, "I'm so sorry the deadline has passed, but could I still make a reservation?"

For RSVPs, I think either "deadline" or "reservation cut-off" would be better than "due day" (or "due date"). The term "due day/date" is often used for homework, etc., and also for the day a baby is expected to be born.

Hope this makes sense :)

Indicates sounds a little bit more certain (e.g 90% certain) than suggests (75% certain).

Both have the same meaning.
