How easy and safe is it to replace the brakes on your car by yourself? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How easy and safe is it to replace the brakes on your car by yourself?
### Response:
| Brakes on a car are an essential system that requires the work to be done with confidence. Unlike other systems in a car that can fail and not adversely affect safety of a car, the brakes are a critical safety system that must be done correctly. Failure to repair brakes correctly can result in accidents and damage to property or loss of life in extreme cases. With this said, however, the work required to replace brakes on a car is not that technically complicated. In most cases specialized tools are not needed and most cars have a very similar mechanism to engage brakes making repairs easier. You can consult other sources online to find detailed descriptions for your make and model. Several tips include picking quality parts that are designed for your vehicle, always replacing brake rotors along with brake pads and double checking the tightness of caliper pins. With some basic skills and proper preparation you can learn to perform this work yourself and save money. It is always good to work with or consult with someone with experience the first time you attempt such a repair. | |

### Instruction:
You are a young citizen of a developing country. Write a letter in less than 150 words to a newspaper, highlighting your concern over incorrect disposal of biomedical waste and to spread awareness of the same.
### Response:
| The Covid19 pandemic has changed the lives of all human beings, and has driven massive consumption of personal protective equipment worldwide. People have adapted to wearing face masks as a 'new normal'. At the same time, the disposal of biomedical waste is a major concern, especially in developing countries with limited resources. Biomedical waste includes used Rapid Antigen Tests, PCR Tests, used injections, and used masks. We have observed that people who use the test kits and masks at home, often fail to dispose them off properly. This is counter productive, as it poses the risk of aiding the virus' transmission, and can potentially be life threatening to others. Hospitals, too, produce a huge amount of waste and it is imperative they dispose it off properly following all norms.
If not scientifically handled and disposed, it could cause serious risk not just to human health, but also pose a serious threat to terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
Thank you for highlighting my concerns to your readership, and I request you to keep highlighting these concerns to your audience regularly via your articles. | |

What do redshifts tell astronomers? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What do redshifts tell astronomers?
### Response:
| Edwin Hubble discovered in the 1920s that the spectral lines of light reaching us from the universe's most distant galaxies were redshifting to areas of the electromagnetic spectrum with lower energy intensity. This allows us to confirm that the various objects in the universe are moving away from us and from one another. The faster a galaxy moves away from the observer, the further it is from the observer. This phenomenon is interpreted as proof of the universe's expansion and the Big Bang. | |

What is the best way to clean a cast iron pan that is heavily soiled?
### Response:
| Use a scrub brush or scrub sponge, but not one with any kind of metal in it. Contrary to popular opinion, you should be able to use soap if your pan is properly seasoned, because proper seasoning results from polymerization of oils across and to the pan itself, rather than just oil sitting on the surface of the pan. If necessary, you can re-season the pan, but this is usually excessive. | |

What is table tennis and why is it popular | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is table tennis and why is it popular
### Input:
Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a racket sport derived from tennis but distinguished by its playing surface being atop a stationary table, rather than the court on which players stand. Either individually or in teams of two, players take alternating turns returning a light, hollow ball over the table's net onto the opposing half of the court using small rackets until they fail to do so, which results in a point for the opponent. Play is fast, requiring quick reaction and constant attention, and is characterized by an emphasis on spin relative to other ball sports, which can heavily affect the ball's trajectory.
Owed to its small minimum playing area, its ability to be played indoors in all climates, and relative accessibility of equipment, table tennis is enjoyed worldwide not just as a competitive sport, but as a common recreational pastime among players of all levels and ages.

Is switchgrass a good biofuel source? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Is switchgrass a good biofuel source?
### Response:
| Switchgrass is an excellent biofuel source for many reasons. Switchgrass grows natively throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. It has a dramatically higher energy yield than corn. It requires almost no pesticides to grow and no fertilizer. Switchgrass actually pulls carbon out of the air and puts it into the ground through it's large root system, thus enriching the soil it grows in rather than depleting it. Once a switchgrass plant is established it grows back naturally every year for 18 to 20 years. | |
Explain the expression "the days are long, and the years are short" as it relates to raising children. | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Explain the expression "the days are long, and the years are short" as it relates to raising children.
### Response:
| Every day you're exhausted and pushed to the limits. This can be from lack of sleep, because your child is waking up every few hours. Or it can be because whatever it is you're asking of your child, they don't want to do it. Or it can be because the strain is affecting your own ability to be kind and loving to both yourself, your spouse, and your children. Whatever the reasons, the feeling at the end of every night is one of utter exhaustion, where presumably this feeling is now your life, and will be so forever. But, in that exhaustion, it can be hard to either notice or truly appreciate beautiful little moments simultaneously occurring. For example, you might not pause to appreciate when they laugh at something you say or funny face you make. Or maybe you miss the beauty in witnessing their frustration and struggle as they persistently try to fit that round peg in the square hole. Or maybe the way they mispronounce certain words sounds so endearing, though you're more focused on helping them pronounce it correctly. These are all brief moments where you are witnessing the growth of your child. These moments are fleeting. They don't exist forever, because eventually they grow out of them. They don't find the same jokes or silly faces funny, they figure out the round peg fits in the round hole, and their word pronunciation improves. And when you notice those are past, you feel nostalgic. You wish you could relive those moments. In that nostalgia, you forget about all the exhaustion that came with the territory. Maybe the expression is best described as analogous to another expression "the grass is greener on the other side" | |

A quote that reflects Lincoln's agile mindset: "Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way." In Agile development, we embrace the fact that we do not know very much about how to reach our goal. We "find the way" by communicating often, sharing facts and executing tasks that we believe will lead us to accomplishing "the thing." We focus on the goal and adapt, as needed, with the facts at hand. And regarding facts, he wanted to count all the pigs and chickens...
A quote that reflects Lincoln's thoughts on "Big Data" (collection): "He particularly objects, as I understand him, to counting all the pigs and chickens in the land. I do not perceive much force in the objection." Abe understood that decisions are advised by facts and data, yet he too warned that some data may not end up being very useful. Regarding the collection of data to guide decisions: "In that information, we shall have a stern, unbending basis of facts---a basis, in nowise subject to whim, caprice, or local interest." | |

What is Oktoberfest | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is Oktoberfest
### Response:
| The Oktoberfest is the world's largest Volksfest, featuring a beer festival and a travelling carnival. It is held annually in Munich, Bavaria. It is a 16- to 18-day folk festival running from mid- or late-September to around the first Sunday in October, with more than six million international and national visitors attending the event. Locally, it is called d’Wiesn, after the colloquial name for the fairgrounds, Theresienwiese. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since the year 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations that are modeled after the original Munich event.
During the event, large quantities of Oktoberfest Beer are consumed. For example, during the 16-day festival in 2014, 7.7 million litres (2,000,000 US gal) were served,[1] making it the year where the most beer was consumed at the Oktoberfest.[2] Visitors also enjoy numerous attractions, such as amusement rides, sidestalls, and games. There is also a wide variety of traditional foods available.
The Munich Oktoberfest originally took place in the 16-day period leading up to the first Sunday in October. In 1994, this longstanding schedule was modified in response to German reunification. As a result, if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or the 2nd, then the festival would run until 3 October (German Unity Day). Thus, the festival now runs for 17 days when the first Sunday is 2 October and 18 days when it is 1 October. In 2010, the festival lasted until the first Monday in October (4 October), to mark the event's bicentennial. | |

What are the advantages of a progressive consumption tax? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What are the advantages of a progressive consumption tax?
### Response:
| A progressive consumption tax would be a good substitute for a progressive income tax because it would produce greater economic efficiencies by promoting investment and savings while eliminating the income tax's disincentivizing of work. Unlike a sales tax imposed at the point of sale, a consumption tax could be structured to be progressive rather than regressive, by using a year end tax return to calculate 'net consumption' during a given tax year, with the return summing all sales of qualified investments and then subtracting all purchases of new qualified investments. The tax return then apply a progressive tax rate to the total net investment. Much of the complexity of the current tax code would be eliminated. There would no longer be a need for complex calculations relating to capital gains, based on the concept of 'tax basis' and other arcane notions. Complexities relating to tax beneficial retirement-related savings accounts would also become unnecessary. Investors would no longer be penalized for efficiency-driven portfolio rebalancing. Billionaires would not be taxed significantly if they live frugally, but they could be taxed at very high rates for substantial consumption. A billionaire who buys large yachts, multiple mega-mansions, etc. would pay high taxes. A billionaire who lives modestly would not. But the latter billionaire is keeping her money invested in the economy, providing resources that will further economic growth. Opponents of a consumption tax cite the fact that most consumption taxes are thought to be regressive. However, as perviously mentioned, the consumption tax could be structured to be progressive, and in fact could be structured to be even more progressive than the current income tax. The progressive rates could be based on wealth rather than the amount of annual consumption or income. It would even be possible to tax consumption at over 100% in the case of billionaires. For example, if someone had a net worth of over $10 billion, we could tax that person's consumption at 150%. Regressiveness concerns can also be addressed by exempting a large portion of consumption. Annual consumption under a certain level, say $30,000 per year, could be tax free, or taxed at a low sales-tax-like rate of, say, 5%. Most economists agree that a consumption tax would promote economic growth. | |

What is lacrosse? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is lacrosse?
### Response:
| Lacrosse is the original and oldest sport in North America. it is one of the national sports of Canada. It was created by French-Canadian Jesuit missionary priests in Canada, in the 17th Century. The game of lacrosse is based on the traditional Native American game "baggataway."' This means "little brother of war;" it was also commonly referred to as "The Creator's Game." There are currently three predominant versions of lacrosse: Field Lacrosse, Box Lacrosse, and Women's Lacrosse.
Field lacrosse is the men's outdoor version of the game. There are 10 players on each team, on the field at once. These players consist of 3 attackmen, 3 midfielders, 3 defensemen, and one goalie. Each player has a helmet, shoulder pads, gloves, elbow pads, and a lacrosse stick. 6 players carry a short stick, which measures between 40 to 42 inches, and a maximum of four players on the field at a time can carry a long stick, which is between 52 and 72 inches long. Short sticks are generally used by offensive players, and long sticks by defensive only players. The goalie has a specific stick to his position, with a. wider "head" to assist in making saves. The ball for play is made of solid rubber, about the size of a baseball. A lacrosse goal measures 6 feet by 6 feet. Teams are awarded one point for getting the ball into the goal.
Each game is 60 minutes long, made up of four 15 minute periods. At the start of each period, and after ever goal, there is a face-off at the center of the field. A unique aspect of lacrosse is that on a shot, when the ball goes out of bounds, possession is awarded to the team closet to the ball when it went out. On out of bounds other than a shot attempt, possession is awarded to the opposite team that touched it last. During the course of play teams may substitute players "on the fly," through a designated substitution area (commonly referred to as "the box"), which is in between the benches of both teams.
Penalties in lacrosse result from rule violations, deemed by either an infraction (commonly referred to as a "technical foul"), or a personal foul. The result of the offending team is either losing possession of the ball, or temporarily losing a player for a designated period of time (similar to hockey). The offending player serves their penalty in the box. The team that has taken the penalty is the playing "man-down" for the time serving portion of the rule violation, while the other team is player "man-up."
The generally consensus for who the greatest lacrosse player of all time is usually between three players: Jim Brown, Gary Gait, and John Grant. | |

What happens when you meditate? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What happens when you meditate?
### Response:
| The art of meditation has a long prolonged positive effect on human behaviour and thinking. The mind is equated to a jumping monkey that doesn't remain quiet. The restlessness that it builds can lead to health issues and sometimes uncontrollable behaviour. In general, meditation is to calm the mind and becoming the spectator or observer of the thoughts that rise in your consciousness.
Now, let's break it down further ...
It first starts with understanding of the 'self' which can be equated to mind in loose terms. Experiences happen to you in your waking state and the mind first starts labelling things. Negative experiences are profoundly deep rooted then positive ones. All these experiences gradually defines how you react to situations that shapes your individual personality. Do you know that there is a spectator within your mind more like a dual personality? it is the subject - object thing. The spectator within you is the observer of things and is often neutral.
Idea of meditation is to remain a spectator for long periods of time and let fewer and fewer thoughts arise into your conscious state. At the end it leaves you a with a sense of accomplishment because as a spectator you're waiting and this deliberate attempt makes the thought (referred as devil) disappear. | |

What are the main disadvantages of electric cars versus combustion engine vehicles? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What are the main disadvantages of electric cars versus combustion engine vehicles?
### Response:
| Over the past few years, electric vehicles have gained traction amongst the public for different reasons. There are though, some challenges, that can reduce the speed of adoption. The following are some of the concerns associated with electric vehicles:
1. Higher upfront cost: Electric cars are generally more expensive to acquire than gasoline-powered cars, although this gap is narrowing. But, electric vehicles are typically cheaper to run and maintain. At this stage, they have achieved parity for the total cost of ownership.
2. Increased charging times: New electric cars can get to 80% of their range in less than half an hour when using fast charging stations, but that still slower than their combustion engine counterparts and many charging stations have lower speeds.
3. Limited charging infrastructure: Despite the expansion of electric vehicle charging facilities, their availability remains less extensive than that of gas stations. Consequently, careful trip planning may be necessary to guarantee access to charging stations when required.
4. Less range: New electric cars typically have a range of around 230-320 miles, which is still less than most of the combustion engine vehicles.
5. Reduced number of options: Given the relatively new interest from car manufacturers, fewer alternatives are available for individual use cases. It should still take a few years before the offering is similar. | |

Is there any benefit to pain? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Is there any benefit to pain?
### Input:
Pain is a distressing feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli. The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage."[1]
Pain motivates us to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future.[2] Most pain resolves once the noxious stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but it may persist despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body. Sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease.[3]

What should I check when planning a trip? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What should I check when planning a trip?
### Response:
| In addition to the usual items like air tickets, accommodation, sightseeing spots, visa requirements, travel restrictions, ... you should also check some of these depending on where you’re heading:
- Monsoon season if for example traveling to Southeast Asia. It tends to rain more during this season which may impact the activities you can do or the road conditions. Keep in mind that the monsoon season varies across countries and even across regions of the same country.
- Major holidays: Including public holidays, festivals, school holidays. These impact the opening hours and the crowd at sightseeing spots. Check the major holidays in neighbouring countries as well. For example, long holidays in Australia may affect the crowd in Bali, Indonesia as a popular travel destination, or the Golden week in Japan means that a lot of locals would travel around Japan.
- Major events: Including popular festivals and major sport events. You are either interested in some of these events so you may want to plan your trip to attend those or you may want to avoid them as finding accommodation and air tickets can be more difficult and more expensive. For example, it is more difficult to travel to Melbourne during the Australian Open.
- Natural phenomena: Such as the cyclone season in Fiji or the jellyfish season in Cairns, Australia. |
