Why is Chicago known as the Windy City | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why is Chicago known as the Windy City
### Response:
| Many believe that Chicago is known as the Windy City because it has harsh winters and strong cold winds off the shores of Lake Michigan. Even in the summer, the winds swirling off the lake can change the outcome of a baseball game at Wrigley Field. While the weather pattern does in fact exist, Chicago is not the windiest city, nor is this the reason for the nickname. Many believe the term is a derogatory reference to Chicago's vitriolic politics and self-important politicians who are full of hot air. References to Chicago as the Windy City have been found all the way back to the late 1800s. | |
How does the Harvard housing system work? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How does the Harvard housing system work?
### Response:
| First-Year students live in one of the seventeen dormitories located in and around Harvard Yard. Rooms are assigned based on a brief survey sent to admitted students. The survey asks questions like “How many roommates do you want?”, “How comfortable are you with noise?”, and “What type of music do you listen to?”. After the first year, the majority of students move into one of the twelve residential Houses. Houses are assigned in March of a student’s first year. Rather than randomly assigning individual students to houses and scattering close friends, students can assemble into “blocking groups” of no greater than 8 students and each group is randomly assigned to a House. If 8 friends aren’t enough, two blocking groups can link themselves in the lottery. Linked groups will not be assigned the same House but are guaranteed to be assigned the same Neighborhood (e.g. The Quad). | |

Whats the difference between a sloop, a cutter, and a ketch? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Whats the difference between a sloop, a cutter, and a ketch?
### Response:
| These are all categorizations of different types of sailing boats. A sloop is the most common. A sloop is a monohull sailboat with a single- rig mast supporting a main sail and and headsail. These are great boats to learn sailing on as their simple, easy to handle, and have great wind performance.
A cutter at first look is similar to a sloop in that it also has a single mast positioned near the middle of the boat. However, a cutter uses two headsails, instead of a mainsail and headsail, and generally includes a bowsprit. This allows the boat to have better stability in rough weather due to the headsails providing a lower center of gravity. The complex rigging makes this boat more challenging to sail than the sloop, but provides an excellent option for an experienced sailor.
A ketch has two masts. The main mast in the front stands taller than the mizzen mast behind it. The mizzen mast stands forward of the rudder post. The ketch has smaller sails and shorter masts. While this makes them slower than a sloop, they are very controllable in rough weather which makes them excellent boats for off shore sailing. | |

Why are cats better than dogs? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why are cats better than dogs?
### Response:
| First, let me say that the question represents my own, personal, subjective opinion. I also adore dogs, just not as much as cats. I am fully a cat person.
The cat, though. I am humbled by the task of trying to accurately capture in words the mystery of these beautiful creatures who have chosen to enslave humans. So instead, because I am also trying to train a model, I will just use a lot of unnecessary adjectives and that will have to do.
Cats have been around humans for a long long time. I remember as a kid having a book that talked about how in Ancient Egypt cats were revered as holy creatures and kept in luxury in temples of Baast. The first known evidence of cat domestication is the excavation of a Neolithic grave in Cyprus. The thing I adore about cats is that they basically haven’t bothered to change themselves since then. They just carried on being slightly aloof and mysterious, but also affectionate and playful when they feel like it. And imperious and demanding, of course.
Cats are incredible communicators. They have learned to meow at humans because they realised we respond to meows, even though you will very rarely hear a cat meow at another cat (the indignity!). Meows and chirps are the special condescending language cats developed to communicate with an inferior species. My own cat can make crystal clear what he wants with looks, body language and the odd meow when he can be bothered. He is also a total drama queen and obviously manipulative. If he wants food he will try the ‘I’m hungry’ meow first and if that doesn’t work we get the full on “I’m starving, this is a tragedy, I will die almost immediately if I don’t get food right now”. I am full of respect for the cats’ ability to manipulate humans and the shamelessness with which they do this.
Cats are also super independent compared to dogs. No need for walks, no need for the dreaded poo bags, no need for expensive care every time you want to go away for a night. They love their humans but 100% on their own terms.
Cats are adorable and cute. I can’t stress this enough. Ever seen a cat roll over so you can see its fluffy belly. How can you not melt. Ever had a cat make biscuits on your lap (or in the air). Cuteness overload. They are even cute when they are mad. And most cats I’ve met know how to gently tell you what affection is allowed and what isn’t (illegal belly rubs). They will bat you with a paw, but the claws will be in. And a cat purring on your lap is the single most relaxing thing in the whole world.
The Swedish word for ‘cat’ is ‘kattepus’. That in itself seems a really great reason why cats are better than dogs.
The last word goes to Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld novels, who wrote ‘In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this’. And neither should we. | |

What is the meaning of the album title "Flying Microtonal Banana", by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard?
### Input:
Subtitled Explorations into Microtonal Tuning, Volume 1, the album is recorded in quarter tone tuning, where an octave is divided into 24 (logarithmically) equal-distanced quarter tones; it was originally conceived to play on a baglama, so the band members used instruments specifically modified for microtonal tuning, as well as other Middle-Eastern instruments like the zurna. The name "Flying Microtonal Banana" comes from Stu Mackenzie's custom-built yellow guitar, fitted with additional microtonal frets.[5]

### Instruction:
Imagine you are the last person on Earth. Write a diary entry describing your thoughts and feelings.
### Response:
| Dear diary, you have been a faithful companion to me, all this while, the only true friend I have. Or, may, I say, the only witness to my thoughts - because there is no one else. Yes, I am the only person around in this world. Does this make me happy or sad, you ask? I am conflicted, to be honest. As an introvert, I always wanted solitude and peace. The ability to be myself, to not just think my own thoughts but act like no one was watching. And yet, now, when I really can do this (believe me, no one is watching me, or even the security tapes!), I long for a voice to hear and for someone to talk back to me, see me act stupid or act out my weirdest thoughts, and in general just listen to me. But, there is no one. And this scares me, as well. Why am I writing this down, when I rarely, if ever, read you back? It is, probably, with a hidden hope that someone some day will read it and understand my thoughts and ideas without judgement. If no one ever will read it, because there is no human left on planet Earth, why am I writing this even? I always read (and scoffed at) the books telling me "Man is a social animal" - I felt they did not refer or apply to me me. And now, dear friend, I have realised a little too late in life that it wasn't the books that did not recognise me. Rather, it was I who didn't understand myself. Farewell and adieu! | |

Why should you stay at our rental cabin in Speedway, Indiana?
### Response:
| The Indianapolis 500 comes to Speedway, Indiana each year in May. It's the largest gathering for a sports event in the world. It's truly an event you don't want to miss! The buzz of the cars speeding by, the crowds cheering in a way you can't experience at traditional sporting events, all under the warm summer sun. It's truly a once in a lifetime event you can't experience like it anywhere else. Staying in our cabin allows you to be close to the action, with a walkable distance to the track, and run back should you want to take a quick break from the action. It has great views of the track, is a walkable distance, and nearby to many restaurants and shopping vendors during the event. | |
