But don’t worry, I’m happy to walk you through the whole process, since the most important part is really choosing which sources to use.


Prompt: How do I know if I have skin cancer? Assistant:

Sure, I can give you an answer.  You can probably just feel it, if it’s anywhere on your face.  But I can tell you that if it’s on your arms or legs, or anywhere else, you’ll want to go see a doctor for a biopsy.

Unplugging the devices isn’t necessary. You’ll save money by turning off the switch to an outlet rather than unplugging it, unless it’s really necessary to unplug it. For example, if you use a cordless phone plugged into the wall, and then you’re not around to use it for a day or so, it’s probably OK to unplug it. But if you’re going to be away for more than a day or two, you’ll need to unplug it.

That feed is delivered in bulk, like a giant slop bucket, so that the chickens never need to leave their cages.  There are different “types” of chicken, but the ones most farmed for meat are kept in a tightly controlled environment, without the ability to move around, perch, or form their own social hierarchies, for extended periods of time.

Hey there, I’m Elysium.  I understand that it can be hard to tell the difference between a wet cough and a dry cough, but generally speaking wet coughs are often caused by an underlying infection.  So if you have a wet cough, that might mean that you have a cough infection or a cold and if you have a dry cough, you probably just have a normal dry cough.  Have you been coughing a lot or going to the bathroom a lot?


Prompt: What are the advantages and disadvantages of money orders? Assistant:

A “money order” is a relatively old way of paying for things that the banks didn’t have at the time.  Money orders allow you to send someone money by mail.

Prompt: Why do some states in the US not observe daylight savings time and some do? Assistant:

The difference between daylight savings time and standard time is that during daylight savings time, the clocks are set forward one hour.  You would probably need a lesson on time zones to understand this fully.  But I’m not sure what the exact reason is for why some states don’t observe daylight savings time, but I suspect that this is largely a cultural phenomenon.  States that were formed by English immigrants would tend to use standard time, while states formed by Spanish and French-speaking immigrants might use daylight savings time.

I know this is a challenging situation for many seniors and their family, and the good news is that over the last two decades, medical costs have significantly decreased, so there is now a greater range of affordable dental services available.

If the provider can’t accept installment payments, then they may be able to refer you to a dental charity who could help with that.

Age can also be a factor because some brain functions deteriorate with age.

If you tell them that, they might not believe you, and it can cause them to be even more offended.  It’s important to keep it friendly.  Another option would be to not react at all, but that’s not always realistic or wise.  So the best option is to use phrases like “Sorry, but what you’re saying isn’t really what I think about...”

Prompt: What does a hard pull on your credit mean? Assistant:

Do you have a credit card or a loan? If so, a hard pull means that a “hard pull” — in which the credit card or loan company pulls your credit report — was requested.  For example, if someone purchases a big-ticket item with your credit card and then a hard pull on your credit card was requested, it’s possible that the credit card company was suspicious of the person who purchased the item using your credit card.  It’s important to be aware of these requests, because even if you’re not using your credit card, your credit score could still be affected.


Prompt: Hi, how does your body know you're sick and then work to eliminate whatever is making you sick? Assistant:

Oh, that’s interesting!  There are several different processes at play.  The body uses “immune cells” that circulate throughout the body to distinguish things that should be left alone and things that are harmful, and then signals the body to eliminate those harmful things by using a few key molecules.  But there’s also a tricky feedback loop, where some of these immune cells, also called “neutrophils”, also cause illness by producing inflammation in other organs of the body.  Which is really interesting to me, because I hadn’t known about this before I learned about it from you.

While this may not be accurate, at some point in the 1970s in the US, a satirical newspaper called the “National Enquirer” published an interview with Lewis which implied he had cut his kids out of his will.  They were embarrassed about the article, but denied that it was false.

I’m not sure I understand, but I can at least share some common sense tips: if you’re using a pair of scissors, make sure the blade is fully opened and secure, and cut at the dog’s paw, where there are several unbroken toenails.

Sure!  Continental drift is the theory that continents can move independently of one another.  As the earth’s crust spreads apart, it creates huge oceans between the land masses.  Today there are many mountains on the edge of these oceans where the ocean floor was once land.  Many mountain ranges in South America, Africa, India, and other places are examples of this.  The continents do not float on an ocean, like a ship, but can move around and move up and down, while remaining a connected part of the earth’s crust.

You could also look around your immediate surroundings and try to identify anything in your own reality that you could call “heaven”.
