Prompt: Is it true that most other countries offer free college? Or is this misinformation. Assistant:

The short answer is yes. Some countries offer a system of free higher education, but many others have mixed systems.

Some countries like Germany and France also make funding available to students from other countries. However in the US, most of the funding for higher education is provided by individual institutions, and much of the population does not have access to higher education.

Front loaders are cheaper, but you have to use more detergent since it tends to accumulate more in the drum.

That’s a great question. I think you might be asking about that because you’ve noticed that blood in the stool is an indication of health problems.

If it’s the former, then maybe the key is something about the way you’re cooking, or maybe something else about the way you cook.  And if it’s the latter, maybe the solution is something about the ingredients or equipment you’re using.

That’s an interesting question. It would depend a lot on how well you knew the person, and if you wanted to have a light meal or a heavier one. If you wanted to impress, and if you had a little more time and resources to prepare, then I'd recommend grilled steak, vegetables, and a salad. If you’re tight on time, then I'd go for lasagna or pasta. If you just want to do something simple but not too easy, I'd go for burritos or tacos.


Prompt: How can you get more magnesium in your diet? Assistant:

Well, I’m glad you asked.  About 75% of people’s magnesium comes from foods, but the other 25% is lost in wastewater and in the air.  It’s hard to find detailed information, but one source I saw said it is estimated that it takes about 100 pounds of magnesium to make 1 pound of steel!  So magnesium is valuable and very useful, but it is pretty hard to find.  So it may be worth it to get magnesium supplements.

There are also some other reasons to keep wheat out of your diet, but none of them are food safety related.

But for this question, I would point out that there are no topical products available that are good for everyone, and they're not all regulated by the FDA, so there is a lot of variability in what you can and can't buy.

A human may not want to ignore a difficult person, but simply recognizing and accepting the power of your options can help you feel a lot better about these kinds of situations.

There are also a number of bird species in other orders that have adaptations to mimic owls, and therefore are called “owl-like” by birders.  Many of these bird species will be brightly colored and have large eyes and heads, some like the great gray owl.  And there are even some parrot species with a “hooded” face and look like owls.

Others remember him for his reputation for being a friendly and fun teammate, and some remember him for being accused of being a racist.  The baseball field is a metaphor for where you get to decide which view to take on Ruth.  You can choose to remember him for his work, or for his interpersonal style.  Which one do you pick?

Prompt: Can you help me word an apology to a friend? I just want to get the message across that "I'm sorry and never meant for things to turn out this way" but feel like the apology should be longer. Assistant:

Sure. You don’t want to be too explicit about the “how things turned out” because it’s private and involves details you don’t want to share. I would suggest something like:

“I’m sorry for the way things have gone, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, I’m sorry I let things get out of hand, and I’m sorry I can’t undo what’s happened.”

Prompt: Someone gave me a bamboo plant as a gift. How do I take care of it? Assistant:

You can help the plant in many different ways! For example, you can give the plant some fresh water every day to keep it hydrated, as well as use a soft cloth to wipe dust off of the leaves.  You can also provide sunlight for the plant to help it grow, which can be accomplished by moving the plant to a window or outside!  You should be sure to leave some room for the plant to expand, as it will grow with time.

Prompt: Can you give me the pros and cons for and against spaying or neutering pets? Assistant:

I will do my best. I think neutering or spaying is the process of removing the sex organs of a pet, to prevent them from reproducing. This can be an advantage, since it will ensure that the pet is not a parent, so is unable to add to the overpopulation problem. However, it can also be a disadvantage since it is an invasive surgery, and the pet may be hurt by it. Also, many people believe that the pet’s hormones are put out of balance by the surgery. That is one of the reasons to do it as an adult pet instead of a young pet, in my opinion.


Prompt: I'm curious about the different inventions originating from South America Assistant:

Prompt: How do I make chicken noodle soup? Assistant:

Hi, I’m a friendly chatbot.  In order to make chicken noodle soup, you will need several ingredients.  First, you will need to combine some water and chicken broth with some noodles and salt.  You should boil this mixture for a few minutes.  Next, you can add some canned mushrooms to this mixture.  These ingredients will form the base of your soup.  Then, I think you will need to add some chopped celery, a bit of diced onion, and some shredded carrot.  You may also like to add some pepper.  Finally, you can flavor this soup by adding some sour cream.

Prompt: This Veteran's Day I want to do something to show our veterans how much we care, but I have no idea what to do. Can you suggest anything? Assistant:

Well first off, the way I see it, it’s the Vets who deserve thanks. So we should thank them, and also celebrate their service and hard work in the face of difficulty.  How about you share a video you’ve seen online, of a veteran who explains their experiences in a way you like? Or if you don’t find that, what about reading a poem that you like about a veteran’s experience? You could even just record yourself telling a short story about a veteran or an experience you’ve had with a veteran, and I bet that would mean a lot to them.


Prompt: How long do blue whales nurture their young? Assistant:

That’s a really great question! I’ve heard that there are several reasons why this is hard to answer.  In fact, there are several different kinds of whales.  You could mean blue whales, humpback whales, or fin whales, and each has its own different reproductive and care practices.  This means that if I had to guess, I’d say it depends a lot on the species, or even more specifically, on which of the individual animals you’re talking about.  It would be helpful to specify which blue whale you’re referring to!

Prompt: How do you tell an annoying person to leave you alone? Assistant:

It depends on what they’re saying, and how they’re saying it. I imagine that it would be inappropriate for me to say to someone, “you are annoying and I want you to leave me alone.” I don’t know what you think would be appropriate to say, but if someone was being annoying, you could try, “please don’t be annoying.”  If someone is still being annoying, you could try saying, “I don’t want to talk to you” or “I’m sorry, I’m busy.”

You’ll also need a few pieces of equipment to make their habitat more comfortable, like a water bottle with a tube to use for the water bowl, and some gerbil toys.  All of this stuff can be found at pet stores or online.


Prompt: How much time do you think is normal to spend hungry each day? I feel like I spend too much time being hungry and that I should eat more or more often. Assistant:

Most of the time, our bodies need a few hours between meals, so it would be healthy to eat four to six small meals per day.  This helps the body to get the right mix of nutrients, like protein and fiber, which are essential for growth and brain function.  In the long term, eating too few calories can have negative effects like loss of muscle, a slower metabolism, increased cravings for refined sugars, and slowed thinking.

There are many ways to find out, depending on the kinds of information that’s important to you.  You could go to a website that shows real-time snowfall maps, but most websites that show such maps cover the entire country or world, and don’t say how much snow has fallen where you live.  You could contact your city’s Public Works Department or Municipal Snow Survey, or a nearby National Weather Service office, but you would need to know what type of data they collect.  You could go to a newspaper, or a website, and search for an article on snowfall in your city.  You could
