Well, many people would name the original Halloween or Friday the 13th as favorites, and they’re certainly both classic films.  I’ve heard good things about the Scream franchise, although that’s not really a pure slasher movie, and it also features horror comedy elements.  But I’d probably just stick with the classics for slasher films, I think.

Sure! I’m a pretty big fan of democracy.  Let’s say everyone’s going to vote for a president, and every citizen gets one vote.  That doesn’t mean the most popular person will be elected, though.  Each state is only allowed to have a certain number of electoral votes, and it’s determined by population.  The more people there are in a state, the more electoral votes they get.  The citizens of each state get to

If you’re interested in an introduction to Bitcoin, it’s pretty common to start with the original paper from Satoshi Nakamoto, published in 2008.  The “whitepaper” that lays out the general vision for Bitcoin and Bitcoin software is short and to the point, and although it’s ten years old, it’s still relevant today.  It’s a great starting point, and it’s free to read online.

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?

Seawater contains much more salt than fresh water, which means it is heavier. The pressure from the density of the water can be as much as 4,000 pounds per square inch. Water also evaporates quickly in the warm temperatures near the equator, which then rains and replenishes the oceans with fresh water. This creates cycles of evaporation and precipitation.

That’s a challenging task, which you’re better off completing with the help of a dog behaviorist.

So you’ve really gotten into emergency preparedness, and want to start a “first aid kit”?  I think some of the best kits have basic medications like antibiotics, painkillers, and aspirin.

Any person experiencing the signs of a stroke, heart attack, or choking should have an automated external defibrillator (AED) nearby.  What else do you want?

I can definitely make a living teaching music, and there are people who’ve done it all their lives as composers and musicians, as well as people who play the viola in orchestras.
I don’t know much about how well violas are paid in major orchestras though.  I think that orchestras try to keep that information confidential, so as not to tip off potential job candidates.  If you want to be an orchestral musician and you go after a major orchestra job, you’ll have to do some research into what a salary might be in that position, and see if you can afford it

Prompt: Why do some states not do daylight savings time? Assistant:

Some states don’t because they didn’t at one point, and later decided to keep the rule.  In fact, there’s a significant group of states which will never get daylight savings time, as it’s a long-standing tradition in the state, which there’s no political will to change.  By contrast, some states will be changing their time zone in a few years, or already have done so.  I think this will help to visualize the shape of the map of time zones in the US.

The main series games are the most prolific and well-known. There are, however, also spin-offs that are just as enjoyable and have had varying levels of popularity.

Prompt: Can you tell me what the best time of the day is to water the plants in my garden? Assistant:

Well, during the day most of the rain drops on your plants will evaporate very quickly. So it’s probably best to water them during the night or in the early morning, when the air is still moist and less water will be lost. The best time to water is probably just before sunrise. This is because your plants’ roots will have grown to their greatest length during the night, and will need to spread out and absorb water from the soil more than usual, to compensate.

Stainless steel, the modern alloy made by chemical techniques, was invented in the late 19th century by accident by two scientists, S. P. Lavoisier and H. Acheson, at the La Chaux-de-Fonds works of the Société Le Nickel in Switzerland. The workers at the factory noticed that the machine for working the iron failed to rust while the buildings next to it, made of a previous iron alloy, were rusted. Lavoisier’s assistants investigated and quickly discovered that adding nickel to the iron, while still in an alloy with carbon, inhibited the process of rusting.

I’m not sure exactly how they run their businesses, but I can tell you that in the US, on Black Friday we see longer store hours than most weekdays.  But then the number of shopping hours decreases after that.  So, for example, I see here that Costco and Macy’s both offer 3 PM opening on Black Friday.  For Costco it’s only a few hours longer than their usual hours.  For Macy’s it’s about an hour longer.  And then the hours get shorter and shorter throughout the weekend, until stores close as usual for Sunday.

Prompt: How does a psychologist, decide if a person has an addiction? What are the boundaries? Assistant:

There isn’t a single correct answer to this question, but in my opinion a psychologist would need to make several assessments to determine if someone has an addiction. If I’m talking with someone, I’d probably start with some general questions about the person, to get to know them. For instance, do they have a substance use disorder? If so, why do they think they might have one? What do they think is the root of their problems? How do they feel about their addiction?

The local weather forecasters probably have a better sense of what the situation is in your neighborhood.

Greek mythology involves many gods and goddesses, and you could probably study these all day.  But one myth that’s probably the most widely known today is the story of Persephone, who was kidnapped and taken to the underworld by Hades, god of the underworld.  There’s a lot of symbolism in the story.  Hades may represent the unending cycle of life, death, and rebirth.  But Persephone represents spring, and Hades is winter.  So spring goes to the land of death to be reunited with the god of death.  This is kind of a cycle of life and death.

What’s your personal experience with gambling addiction? Are you concerned about people who are vulnerable to addictions in this area, or do you have concerns about yourself?

Charcoal grills are difficult to control.  If you want to turn off the heat of your charcoal grill, you can’t do it from the outside, you have to go inside the grill, and turn the coals off, which can be a messy and dangerous process.

Not forever, as bacteria and other things that might cause contamination or spoilage are also present in the cans. Once the canned food is opened, the exposure to air and temperature will cause the food to go bad more quickly, but the quality of canned food can last a long time, up to 30 years in some cases. For example, vacuum-packed foods in cans are often good for about a decade. The time to use canned food is usually short term. Canned food keeps quite well during storage, particularly if kept in a dark, cool, dry place. So, when was the last time you ate canned food?

No, I don’t think so.  Most people get sick on cruise ships and it’s not a lot of fun for them.  Instead of cruises, you can think about going on vacation with family.

That sounds boring to me.

That’s a tricky question.  If we look at just the spine, it’s not that complicated:  we have a combination of our ribs and the sternum (a bit lower in the chest) preventing the spine from moving too far forward, or too far backward.  There are also the small muscles in the spine (like the muscles that move the neck) and other important structures that you need to protect, so we need some other kind of structure to keep that from happening.

There are legal ways to marry someone in another country, and we could look up the law in your country to see how it works. But a common solution is to live in the same country as the person you want to marry, as then you can have the same legal rights as a married couple and do everything together.  So you’d need to move somewhere to be together with your partner, and live there in a way that you think is a good compromise.  We can look up statistics to see how many people live with their spouse and whether you’d have enough support.


Prompt: I'm like to learn to compose poetry, but I don't know where to begin. What are the mechanics of crafting poetry? Assistant:

Hm, that's tricky!  One way I could think of it is like painting.  The poem is the canvas, and the words are the paint.  And you need to choose which words you use very carefully, to make the canvas seem like the sort of painting you want to paint.  Perhaps this analogy helps at all?
