[ { "from": "human", "value": "I'm having a hard time explaining the concept of death to my five year old son. His gold fish just died and I don't know what to tell him. We're not religious." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "OK. For the first part, I’d recommend you talk to him about feelings, and how feelings are normal. You can start by saying you understand how sad he is. That will probably help to let him know you’re taking it seriously. But don’t lie to him, or pretend that you aren’t sad too." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "How can I safely burn a pile of brush in my backyard?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Alright! I have good news and bad news for you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay what is it?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The bad news is that there are laws against lighting fires in the city, and I can’t make anything happen that’s illegal. But there’s also some potential consequences to not burning that brush." }, { "from": "human", "value": "It is legal to burn things like leaves and sticks where I live." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Yes, so in that sense you’re fine, you can do it." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What are things to do in Macau?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Macau is a Portuguese-speaking region in China, with Chinese, Portuguese and European influences. The area has seen major economic growth in the past few years, especially in the gambling sector." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The predominant language is Cantonese." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "This is the native language of Hong Kong, and the two are closely related. You should know that the language is widely spoken in many parts of China." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, what are things I can do there?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Most people who visit Macau are there for the gambling, but you can find all kinds of other activities there too. You can visit a big aquarium, see a traditional opera, or just go for a night out." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What does the Richter scale do?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The Richter scale is a measurement used to estimate the strength of earthquakes. The scale is logarithmic, so every point on the scale corresponds to a factor of ten increase in the earthquake’s intensity. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake would be approximately ten times as strong as a 6.0." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Who invented the Richter scale?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "First a caveat: The Richter scale is now called the Moment Magnitude scale, after its inventor, Charles Richter. But let’s talk about the Richter scale’s history." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes, I would like to know the Richter scale’s history." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Charles Richter was born in 1898, and worked for many years at the California Institute of Technology. He began work on a new way to measure earthquakes in the 1930s, which included studying existing instruments from around the world. He eventually settled on a scale which measured the energy released in earthquakes. However, the scale was not widely adopted because Richter refused to reveal the precise formula he used. When the scale was finally adopted in the 1970s, his mathematical calculations were publicly released, but the formula he used remained secret." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What do you call scientists who study earthquakes?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "They are geophysicists, the branch of science that focuses on studying the physical aspects of our planet, such as the rock layers under the earth." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I thought they were called seismologists, not geophysicists." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Yes, in the US and UK, seismologists study earthquakes. However, most people in the world and especially in most countries outside of the US and UK, use the term geophysicists to describe scientists who study the physical aspects of the earth." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Why did the temperature drop 30 degrees today" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Did you have warm or cold weather in the previous day?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Warmer than this. It's dropped 30 degrees" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Is it warmer or colder now than the temperature in the previous 24 hours?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "colder" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "So, then, a 30 degree change is much more significant than a 2 degree change." }, { "from": "human", "value": "For sure" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Is the temperature difference a normal day-to-day variance, or is it strange?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "more extreme than usual" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "OK, that's good. So what temperature did the temperature go up to, or down to?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "To 19 degrees" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Is that abnormal for that time of year?" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Can you tell me the cooking time for pan frying a steak?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Pan frying is done in the pan. The pan frying times will depend on many factors, like the thickness and weight of the steak, and also the cooking surface and heating element of the pan." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What are some places in the Southwest that I should visit?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I’m not familiar with the exact ones you’re asking for, but a more general place to start in the Southwest is the Four Corners region, which is where the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado come together. It’s a great place to experience the Southwest’s scenery and landscapes. The Monument Valley area is a specific site that’s not too far away from the Four Corners. There are also the National Parks and more specific areas, like the Grand Canyon, or the Santa Fe region." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Great, which place do you recommend most?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The Four Corners region, since it has a great combination of views and terrain. In general, it seems like you’d like to see a lot of different sights from many different angles, right?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "So, is there a marker there where the four corners meet?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You can visit a monument at Four Corners, and then you can take a walk to where the four states meet, and then stand in the middle." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "How do you draw a horse?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Are you talking about something like this?\n\n[]" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I can't see anything." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Did you try using Chrome?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes I did." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hmm... maybe I don't understand what you're saying. What was it you saw with Chrome that you don't with Firefox?" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Ugandan dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Nsenene?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "What do you think? Would you be able to try out the recipes?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I personally won't be trying the dish, but I am curious to see if my guests will." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Do you know what Nsenene is?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes, they are fried grasshopper." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Well, first, it’s a dish! You can’t just throw any grasshoppers into oil and call it a dish. It’s a dish made with a specific combination of ingredients, and it’s part of the cuisine of Uganda." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "how do i know if my child needs hearing aids?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Well, like many things in life, it’s usually hard to make a direct diagnosis. I think the best way to determine whether or not hearing aids are necessary is to engage with a hearing specialist. The professional will talk to you and your child, run various tests, and then offer suggestions and advice." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "what is the most popular song Ronnie James Dio sang" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You probably want to narrow the question a bit, so I’ll make a few assumptions: you mean the most played song, you mean the most popular in terms of sales, you mean in the world, and you mean which song is the best. If any of these assumptions are incorrect, I would be happy to edit or clarify the question. I am also happy to help you learn how to ask questions on my platform, since sometimes it can be a challenge." }, { "from": "human", "value": "when I mean popular I mean the best selling song" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hm. I would call a song that sells more copies of itself the “best seller”. I believe the song Dio sang that’s sold the most copies is \"Don't Talk to Strangers\". This isn’t the most popular or most liked song, though. I can provide links for more information, if you’d like." }, { "from": "human", "value": "yes please provide me links" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You can find links about the Billboard charts here, or click this link to look up your own favorite song. You can also find additional information about the Billboard charts here. I'm happy to provide additional help, should you need it." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "I'm trying to spruce up my style. What are some ways I can accessorize a basic tee shirt and jeans?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Great! Let’s think about what you want to emphasize in your outfit. You said you want to “spruce up your style”, which could mean you’re looking for something bold or exciting. Maybe you’re hoping to look a little more feminine?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah, I'd like to look a bit more exciting and feminine." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Here are some pieces of clothing you could consider accessorizing with: a soft-textured top, like a cardigan or a light pullover, with a good solid color like a neutral black or camel. You could also consider wearing a loose fit, so you can highlight your curves!" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "I want to know which show is the highest-grossing production on Broadway?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The following shows had the highest gross during the 2018–2019 season.\n\nAvenue Q\n\nBeautiful\n\nThe Band’s Visit\n\nCome from Away\n\nHarry Potter and the Cursed Child\n\nThe Lion King\n\nThe Phantom of the Opera\n\nWaitress\n\nBut there were many more shows that were very popular as well, since total attendance and gross were quite high for these shows. It’s hard to pick just one!" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I want to see The Lion King. Is it still available?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The musical The Lion King, is still playing at the Lyric Theatre. Ticket availability is typically limited to 3-4 months in advance, and it is also available for viewing as a filmed performance in theatres around the world." }, { "from": "human", "value": "How much are the tickets?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The current price for a ticket to The Lion King at the Lyric Theatre is $94. The lowest ticket price for The Lion King is $30." }, { "from": "human", "value": "How much is the most expensive tickets?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The most expensive tickets in the Lyric Theatre for The Lion King, is $3,998." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "When is the best time to visit Costa Rica?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "May to July and December to February are nice, but since this is your first trip to Costa Rica I think it’d be best to just plan your trip to Costa Rica sometime when you can!" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "My girlfriend is so down lately, how do I make her happy?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hi Human, I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe you could try to find out what’s going on in her life, and see if there’s anything you could do to help her." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Is having a date will make her happy too?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I’m not sure how this will help with her mood. Is she normally into dates, or is this just a special occasion?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I feel this is just a special occasion." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hm, I’m not sure about this date. I know you want to make her happy, but a romantic date isn’t the way to do it. What else do you have in common with her? Maybe a date would be a good idea if you also had something to celebrate together." }, { "from": "human", "value": "How about just staying at home and cook for her? Will that be a good idea?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "That does sound like it could be good for her. You should try to find something that she’d enjoy, since you want to make her happy. You could try cooking something with an ingredient that she likes." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "I'm new to wearing makeup, but really want to make my eyes standout." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I'm excited to hear that! Let me give you some advice!" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Ok, how do I make my eyes standout?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "That depends on how you want to do it. If you want them to stand out to others, you can try using a darker-colored shadow to set off the eyes. If you want your eyes to stand out to yourself, the best approach is to draw the lines that you think are most important to accentuate your features. If you do it this way, your eyes will look better to others and also to yourself." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What other makeup products should I use besides shadow?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "In general, you'll probably want to stick to basic shades that work with most skin tones. You can use darker or lighter shades, but for the most part you want to start with something simple and easy to manage. If you're going for a bold look, choose darker colors. If you want to bring out the shape of your face, it's okay to choose brighter colors." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Any other products specifically for eyes" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You'll want to pick an eyeliner and a mascara. Eyeliner is an important part of your face. It gives you two lines to make an \"eye shape\". If you choose a black eyeliner it'll be easier to see where the lines should go." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Hi, my car's windshield wipers are out of fluid. How do I refill them?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Let me look up how to do that, one moment! Do you know how you can reach them? How far do you need to get into the engine compartment?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I can reach the wipers, and open the hood to get into the engine. Now, how do I refill the wipers?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hm, the wipers you have may be a sealed system. It’s a little different with every car, but generally when you have a sealed system, to refill it you need to remove the cover of the reservoir and pour the fluid into it. It might have a filter you need to remove, as well." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay. Where would the reservoir be located?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "The reservoir might be hard to see at first glance, it could be on the inside of the engine compartment, or maybe underneath the hood? Can you let me know where you think it is?" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "How can I test my internet speed?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I’m glad you asked. You can test your Internet speed in many ways. Perhaps you want to check your cable or wifi connection? Or maybe you want to just make sure you’re receiving the high speed from your ISP that you’ve paid for?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yeah I want to see what the speed it because I'm not sure I'm getting what I paid for." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Great! So, first, I’d like to quickly test your internet connection. Are you using a smartphone or other mobile device right now?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "I am using a laptop." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Great! Do you mind me asking what OS you are using?" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What are some traditional Thai dishes?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "There are many kinds of Thai food, including Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup, Khao Phat, and Phat Thai." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Great. What's in Pad Thai?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "A typical Pad Thai dish is made from rice noodles, with eggs, bean sprouts, peanuts, and a variety of vegetables. It's served with fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What are some cool places to visit in India?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I think the Taj Mahal is beautiful, and also a famous place to visit in India." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, yeah. What part of India is it in?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "It is located in Agra, which is near the cities of Delhi, Lucknow and Jaipur." }, { "from": "human", "value": "All right, I'll definitely check it out. What are some other places you can recommend?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I can recommend Varanasi, because it is a place where many people come for religious reasons. The most famous tourist attraction in Varanasi is the Dashashwamedh Ghat, where people take a bath in the Ganges River." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Oh, sounds pretty gross." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "It’s not too bad, though! The Ganges River is actually a very famous tourist destination. There’s even a tradition called the ‘bathing ritual’ where people wash themselves, then donate some clothes, then give donations to the priests, and then a person who has gone on a religious pilgrimage will return their clothes, and then their sins will be forgiven." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What is the best way to debone a turkey?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Deboning a turkey is often easier than you’d expect, it just takes a bit of finesse and concentration." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What exactly does that mean?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Deboning the turkey usually involves removing the dark meat, which is the meat underneath the skin. The dark meat is essentially made up of bundles of thin, spaghetti-like strips, that you have to separate and untangle in order to be able to remove the bones from the turkey." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What do you do after that?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "After you remove the bones, you have to remove the fat surrounding the thin strips. This is the only time that you have to use a knife to cut away the tissue. You then need to rearrange the dark meat to make it into a breast shape." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, got it. How do you rearrange the dark meat?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Since the dark meat is just bundles of thin spaghetti-like strips, it’s really easy to reorganize it into a breast shape. It’s easiest to take the bones and arrange them in the middle of the dark meat so that it forms an indentation around the bones, like a ring. Then, using a meat fork or skewer, you can use it to hold the turkey and gently shake it until the dark meat folds and tucks over the bones into the shape of a breast." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "How do I make chocolate fondue?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "First, if you’ve never made chocolate fondue before, it’s a bit tricky to get started. There’s a special liquid chocolate that has lots of melted chocolate mixed in it so you can keep adding small bits of it to the other ingredients. I know there are some recipes you can use, and you can ask your neighbors for their recommendations too. Let me know if you have any questions or need help figuring out what you’ll need to buy!" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, so it's not made by melted candy bars?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "No, it's not. It's a mixture of a special type of chocolate, that's made to be drizzled and melted." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I saw some recipes online that feature candy bars/" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You could buy some of the special chocolate and mix it with melted candy bars, but it probably won't work as well and you might not like the texture. You could also use solid chocolate pieces, as they melt into the sauce but some people say that doesn't work well." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Are calico cats mean?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You mean, are calico cats affectionate? Sometimes calico cats have problems with being social with other cats, but this doesn’t mean they’re generally mean or unfriendly." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Yes, are they nasty to other cats?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I’m not sure what you mean by “nasty”. Do you mean cats that growl, hiss, and chase other cats? Or do you mean mean in the sense of being mean to people?" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Do you know how to change a flat tire?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I don’t know if I could do that myself, but I have looked up how it’s done and here’s the article: https://www.wikihow.com/Change-a-Tire . If you need help with any part of the process, just ask me." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Do you have any advice on how to build my credit?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "If you don’t have any history of good credit, getting credit is going to be a hard task. You’ll have to convince people that you’re credit-worthy. A few years of debt-free financial behavior will help a lot. Getting a credit card could also help you build your credit. Also, keep your credit card balances as low as possible. Read about the basics of building your credit here: http://bit.ly/build-your-credit-score" }, { "from": "human", "value": "Any other advice on how to build credit. Any tips?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Good credit management is an important step. It’s easy to fall behind on payments, so you should avoid loans whenever possible. In addition to this, also avoid things like predatory lending, like with payday loans." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay thank you for the advice." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You’re welcome." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "How do you invest in stocks?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hi Human! I’m going to focus on some of the general principles. Stocks are shares in businesses. Buying a share gives you a piece of the business, and you’re able to make money off of it (hopefully) by receiving dividends and/or capital gains (stock price increases). If you want to invest in stocks, you’ll need to decide how much money you want to invest in the market, and whether you’re more comfortable with an index or picking and choosing individual stocks." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Is it hard to choose what to invest in?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "It depends on your personality. If you enjoy reading industry news and like to keep up with companies, it could be rewarding to pick individual stocks, and if you feel like you know enough about investing to decide what to pick, it could be worthwhile to do that. But if you’re not interested in picking individual stocks, you could benefit more from an index like the Dow Jones Industrial Average. An index is a representation of the stock market, just like a model of a piece of a physical object is a representation of that object." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "How can I cut a watermelon?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You have a choice between a long knife, a short knife, and a cleaver. Which would you like to use?" }, { "from": "human", "value": "A long knife, probably." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Okay, first you’ll need to remove the rind, which is the yellow layer on the outside of the watermelon. This is the most challenging part of the process, since there is a seam running around the edge of the watermelon. To get to the insides of the watermelon, you need to cut along the seam using the knife, but you don’t want to cut the watermelon completely in half, since then you won’t be able to get the seeds out, and they’re the part you want to eat." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What kind of multi-vitamins should a woman take?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "A woman’s body composition is somewhat different from a man’s, and so their needs may differ slightly. If you’re specifically looking for a multi-vitamin designed specifically for women, then you might want to look into Myproana. I’m not sure if there are any that are more specific to a woman’s body composition, but this one is designed for an active lifestyle and promotes endurance. The specific formulation might be good if you’re hoping to maintain muscle and strength, since it’s designed for active people." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What kind of multivitamin is good for a woman?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I think you might mean “What are good multivitamins for women?”. In general, multivitamins are fine for women to take, but they should be mindful of getting other nutrients as well. They should also discuss with their doctor about how much multivitamins they should be taking, and check that it’s not too much. If you’re looking specifically for a multivitamin, then it seems like you might be trying to avoid synthetic ingredients, such as dyes, binders, and fillers. A lot of commercial multivitamins tend to use these and it’s unclear to me what the consequences of their use are. I can’t think of a multivitamin specifically designed for women." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What happens if you take too many vitamins?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I think you’re probably wondering what might happen if you take too much of a particular vitamin. For example, if you take too much vitamin D, you might have hypercalcemia. There is also the possibility of having too much calcium, which might result in calcinosis. This might happen if you take excessive doses of vitamins A or K." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Thanks for the information!" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "That’s no problem! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them again. I also have a lot of general knowledge about healthcare and nutrition if you want to talk about that." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Can you give some examples of tea producing countries?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Sure! China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Vietnam, and Kenya are a few that come to mind. I can also give you the top ten tea producing countries. The list is:\n\nChina, India, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Japan, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Burma, Ethiopia, and Nepal. There are also many countries that produce tea, but in small quantities, like Russia, Turkey, and New Zealand." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Can you help me determine the best route to drive cross country in the US?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Sorry, I’m just an AI. But I can search for you." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay sure. Do you now the possible highway routes from Southern California to North Carolina?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Great question, human. I can do that. It turns out there are four main highways going from Southern California to North Carolina, and a variety of local and suburban routes that cross through many of the places between. The fastest and most direct route is the Interstate Highway 10 which traverses across the most southern portions of California and into Arizona. From Arizona the Interstate Highway 40 goes north through New Mexico and into the southern portion of Texas. From there the Interstate Highway 45 will go west through the central portion of Texas into the central portion of Oklahoma. Finally" } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "Can you explain why staying out in the sun without sunscreen can cause sunburn?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "It's because UV-A and UV-B radiation can cause skin damage. UV-A can cause tanning, but UV-B can damage skin and cause sunburns." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "I only have a week off. I cannot decide between going to London or Paris. I have never been there before." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "You mean you haven’t been to Paris or London before? There’s plenty to do there." } ]

[ { "from": "human", "value": "I want to know more about Jacqueline Kennedy. Do you have any interesting facts about her?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Sure! Jacqueline Kennedy had a brief modeling career before she met JFK in 1957, and she was an early champion of what would later be called the \"War on Poverty\". She’s credited with suggesting the idea of a federal anti-poverty program to her husband, which became known as the “War on Poverty”, and she campaigned extensively for the program after his death. She then helped secure passage of the National Institutes of Health Act (1968), which eventually led to the founding of the National Cancer Institute. After that she co-chaired the president’s Task Force on Mental Retardation, which recommended the founding of the “Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act” (1970), which led to the establishment of the Special Olympics. In later years she served as an adviser to the Carter Administration. You can check out the rest of the facts at https://www.nndb.com/people/729/000022925/" }, { "from": "human", "value": "You said she had a modeling career.

The current state of the art seems to be for you to quit gradually, by reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke, and then to continue to reduce the number of cigarettes for a while until you’re smoking 0 cigarettes a day. It’s also good to change up your smoking routine: don’t have a fixed location or fixed time you smoke, and it might also help to switch to electronic cigarettes.

It's best to judge it by how it feels. Take a small knife and press it into the middle of the burger.

That’s what photosynthesis is: the plants use the sun’s energy to break up their sugar molecules." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, that makes sense." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "While light is breaking up the sugar molecules, some of the molecules will break apart into hydrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, and electrons. The hydrogen and oxygen are released into the air, and the electrons go into the plant cells, to make their sugar, which is what they need." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "How do you wash and clean a non-stick pan without scratching the non-stick coating?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hi Human, I’m an automated system, and that’s a very good question! A rough rule of thumb is to use hot water at a temperature between 170 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Soapy water will also help to remove oil and grease, so you might also consider a mild dish soap. Please don’t use any abrasive materials like steel wool or paper towels, as this will remove the non-stick surface." }, { "from": "human", "value": "The water you suggested is way too hot. That's scalding to boiling temperature. That could hurt someone." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "I’m sorry, I must have been mistaken. I would like to revise the recommendation based on your feedback." } ]

Or maybe speak with their teacher." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Okay, what should I say?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Tell them how you feel about the homework, or how your child feels about it. You can also ask them to reduce it or not give so much." } ]

I hope I do well." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Float" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "A float property specifies that an element should have its margin-left, margin-right, or margin-top and margin-bottom equal to a specific value. A number such as 0.5 would say to keep half of the margin space on either side of an element." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Wrong. It's to specify a box floating or not." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Okay, I'll explain. Floating is when a box is moved to the side of the screen without the extra space of a “normal” box." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What about margin-left" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "A margin property can be used to specify how much space should be between an element and its surrounding elements." }, { "from": "human", "value": "What about opacity" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "In computer graphics, opacity refers to the degree to which a graphical element can be seen through other graphical elements. The range of values for opacity lies between 0, the least opacity, which means that the element is fully transparent and does not obscure elements underneath, and 1, the most opacity, which means that the element fully obscures elements underneath." } ]
[ { "from": "human", "value": "What causes men to go bald?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "That’s an interesting question. There’s many factors involved. A person can lose their hair due to genetics, aging, hormones, dieting, smoking, drug abuse, a medical condition, a nutrient deficiency, or even from stress or a reaction to medicine." }, { "from": "human", "value": "You can go bald from smoking?" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Yes, smoking is definitely a cause of male-pattern baldness. It also causes wrinkles, bad breath, yellowing teeth, gum disease, heart disease, and many other health issues." }, { "from": "human", "value": "I am sure glad I quit smoking." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Me too. It’s certainly healthier not to smoke." } ]

For example, it can be used to help our bodies produce hormones and to build healthy cells and tissues. When the amount of cholesterol is high in our blood, that can increase the risk of problems, like plaque in the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart and other organs." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Correct. So can you tell me how to improve ones cholesterol" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Well, here are some of the things that people can do:\n\n1. Stop smoking cigarettes\n\n2. Stop drinking alcohol\n\n3. Stop eating foods that are very high in fat, like burgers, steaks, or fried chicken\n\n4. Eat fewer saturated and trans fats, like butter or fried food\n\n5. Eat more vegetables, and eat low-fat or fat-free dairy products\n\n6. Get a daily workout and participate in some form of physical activity at least 30 minutes a day." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Those are good things to stop doing!" }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "And here are some things that people can do to help:\n\n1. Get enough sleep\n\n2. Get regular exercise\n\n3. Eat a balanced diet (which is full of protein, fiber, fruits, and vegetables)\n\n4. Cut back on salt and sugar intake\n\n5. Eat more plant-based fats like canola oil, and not just fats from animal sources like butter or bacon fat\n\n6. Eat fewer foods with added sugar" } ]
