Human: Do silencers on handguns really make the guns as quiet as we see on TV?
Assistant: You’re asking about the technical functioning of suppressors. These work by redirecting gasses and muzzle velocity to the side instead of upwards. This reduces the sound of the weapon firing by 10-12 decibels, so it’s not exa... | Yes. There’s a tradeoff.

-The nursery is an area that the ... | Well I’m not sure if I’ve heard of a “gender neutral” child yet, but I don’t know if I’d want to use “gender neutral” to describe things like books or toys. I’d probably use “gender neutral” to describe things like furniture and wall colors. But I think I’d prefer that to be vague and non-specific. |
Human: I'm trying to remember how many children Jerry Lewis had? Seems there was a lot of strife in the family.

Human: How do you help people that can't stop charging on credit cards?

| Yes, I could try to explain this. It’s hard for me to imagine that consciousness raising groups, or C.M.O.s, were the only way to do it in the US at the time, but I think a good example of one of those was around the issue of “equality of the sexes.” That was a huge issue in the 1960s and 1970s in the US, and in many o... |
