### Human: I would like to know how Joe Biden started in politics.  Can you help me? ### Assistant: Sure, I can help provide some background on Joe Biden and his political career.  Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972, and served there for over 30 years until his resignation in 2009 in order to become Vice President.  Biden had a major role in the passage of the 1994 Crime Bill, and was the main author of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994.  He also collaborated with several prominent democratic politicians to create the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.  Biden is currently the the 47th Vice President of the United States.  His role as Vice President has focused on the implementation of the Obama-Biden administration’s foreign policy agenda, including a major effort to reduce American military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq.  In addition, Biden has led the administration’s effort to open up diplomatic relations with Myanmar. ### Human: How old was he when he was  first elected to the Senate in 1972? ### Assistant: Joe Biden was only 30 years old when he was elected to the Senate in 1972, which is quite young for such a prominent office!  According to historical records, Biden was the fifth youngest Senator in US history, and the third youngest Senator ever to be elected while lacking any prior political experience.  At 30 years old, Biden was only 2 years older than President Obama, who was elected at age 47 upon his first election in 2008. ### Human: Has he ever worked for the private sector after graduating from college? ### Assistant:

Yes, Joe Biden has indeed worked for the private sector after graduating from college.  Biden worked as a lawyer for the Wilmington Trust Company in Delaware from 1968 to 1974, and then as a partner in a law firm in Wilmington from 1974 to 1987.  Biden then became a full-time politician, serving as a US Senator from Delaware from 1987 to 2009.  Biden has also served as the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee from 200

### Human: Can you explain the impact bees have on the world? ### Assistant: Honey bees, sometimes referred to as “honey bees,” are quite important for the agricultural world, as they are necessary to pollinate many different crops that we rely on for food.  Every third mouthful of food that we eat involves the help of bees, and more than 1/3 of the crops we use for food depend on pollination by bees.  Honey bees also produce honey, a sweet substance that many of us love to eat and enjoy in many food products, and provide pollination services that help to sustain many ecosystems.  Honey bees are a part of nearly every aspect of our lives, and play an incredibly important role in our food production and ecology, so it is vital that we care for our bees and protect them from harm. ### Human: So what would happen if they died out? ### Assistant: Honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate, and this has global consequences for our food systems and even our ecosystems.  Loss of honey bees has a cascading effect, producing increasingly profound impacts through the food production system and the natural world itself.  Without sufficient bees to provide pollination, farmers would have to invest in more infrastructure to maintain production of major food crops, leading to increased costs and greater energy consumption.  Global food production levels would also decrease, leaving many regions with reduced access to food.  For plant and animal species, loss of pollinators like honey bees also causes extinction, even collateral extinction of other species due to abandonment and human occupation of pollinator habitat, resulting in significant damage and disruption of ecosystems.  Ultimately the value of honey bees as part of the intricate web of life on our planet cannot be overstated, and must be adequately protected and respected. ### Human: why is the bee population dropping? what are the main causes? ### Assistant: The global population of honey bees is in long-term decline, with a reported three-quarter decline in honey bee colonies in the US since the 1940s.  Loss of honey bees and colony collapse disorder has been linked to a variety of factors, including disease, habitat loss, pollution, and pesticide exposure.  Honey bees and other pollinators play an important role in the health of ecosystems and food production, however, and require substantialcommitment and effort to protect and foster since their losses are such a troubling symptom of broader ecological ills in our world. ### Human: Are all bees pollinators? if not, what other kinds are there? ### Assistant: There are over 20,000 species of bees around the world, falling into four major groups:  bumblebees, solitary bees, orchid bees, and honey bees.  All species of bee are important pollinators in some way, but honey bees, bumble bees, and leafcutter bees are the most widely recognized and species extensively used for crop pollination.  Pollination is an essential process for plant reproduction that enables seeds, fruits, and nectar to be produced, and so without pollinators, many ecosystems would collapse and many of our food crops would not exist.  A healthy diversity of pollinators, including all types of bees, is vital to sustaining human life and ecosystems throughout the world. ### Human: ok cool. What can you tell me about 'killer bees'? what is their origin? ### Assistant: Killer bees are a hybrid of the 'Africanized' or 'Africanized honey bees' and European honey bees.  This really aggressive and dangerous form of bee originated in Brazil, where the hybridization process accidentally took place in the 1950's.  They rapidly spread throughout South and Central America, and arrived in the US in 1990, where they pose a threat to the agricultural economy and to both humans and other animals.  The aggression and venomous nature of "killer bees" has resulted in emergency medical care for several thousand people in the US each year, primarily involving females defending their hives.  Staying away from areas where killer bees are known to nest is an important way to keep your own personal safety as well as the global safety and health of honey bees.  More information about killer bees and honey bees in general can be found at the following links: ### Human: What do you mean accidental hybridization? ### Assistant: For thousands of years, beekeepers have been breeding honey bees to produce strains with specific traits, for example higher honey yields or greater resilience to disease.  In Latin America, "Africanized honey bees" were deliberately crossed with more temperate European honey bees in order to improve the productivity of bees in subtropical climates.  However, this cross-breeding was not as intended, and the resultant hybrid strain was much less controllable than originally expected, and in fact extremely aggressive.  Hybridization of honey bees with Africanized honey bees can readily occur naturally, and in fact there has been ongoing hybridization with European honeybees in the US in recent decades, leading to the sporadic appearance of "killer bees" in localized areas. ### Human: Ok. So what is the typical yield of honey from a bee? ### Assistant:

Honey bees typically produce between 100 and 200 pounds of honey per hive, per year.  This is a very high yield for a single hive, and is a major contributor to the global food supply.  Honey bees are also very efficient pollinators, and can produce high yields of many different types of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts.

### Human: How accurate are DNA tests? ### Assistant: DNA tests can be very accurate at determining genetic characteristics about an individual.  Generally speaking, the more precisely a region of DNA is analyzed, the more accurately the results will be.  However, it’s important to note that the human genome is very large and varied, and some regions of DNA may provide very scant information on certain characteristics.  Additionally, a single test won’t usually provide a full picture of someone’s genome.  For those reasons, ongoing DNA testing of multiple regions of the human genome in proportion to their relevance to a particular trait is likely the best way to estimate someone’s genetic characteristics. ### Human: How exactly can this test tell that people are, for example, 1 percent Irish or 85 percent Italian? ### Assistant:

DNA tests can determine genetic ancestry with a high degree of accuracy by comparing a person’s genetic profile to a reference genome.  The reference genome is a detailed map of the human genome that was created by sequencing many human genomes.  The test then compares the person’s genetic profile to the reference genome to determine the person’s genetic ancestry.  For example, a person with a genetic profile that is 1 percent Irish and 85 percent Italian would be genetically related to many people with a similar genetic profile, and would be genetically

### Human: Which planet has the most gravity? ### Assistant: The most massive planet in our solar system is Jupiter, which has the largest amount of gravity at a value of 28.4 m/s2. In comparison, the Earth has a gravity of 9.8 m/s2, and the Moon has a gravity of 1.62 m/s2. The highest gravity in the known universe is estimated to be on the super massive black hole in the center of the M87 galaxy, with a gravity value of about 4 x 1029 m/s2!  However it's important to note that some physical constants and fundamental non-constant parameters of physical theories may vary across the universe, so the gravitational forces on any other bodies outside our own solar system may be different from what we observe here on Earth. ### Human: Which one is the second largest planet that has more gravity than others? ### Assistant: The second-most massive planet in the solar system, following Jupiter, is Saturn, with a gravity of approximately 10.5 m/s2. Saturn is approximately 95% the mass of Jupiter and just smaller in size. After Saturn, the next largest planets in the solar system by mass are Uranus, Neptune, and approximately 38 other celestial bodies, most notably theEarth, Mars, and Mercury. However, the moon and other orbiting bodies of the solar system vary considerably in both gravity and mass, making it difficult to consistently rank the above planets with respect to one another.  Gravity can be seen as an attractive force between all matter in the universe that pulls all bodies together towards each other, proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. ### Human: What would happen if a human land on Jupiter? ### Assistant: Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and also the largest planet of all, with a mass more than 318 times the mass of the Earth.  It has a diameter about 10 times that of the Earth, and a volume about 1,300 times larger than the Earth. If were to try to travel to Jupiter, only a spacecraft could get us there and back safely. Due to Jupiter's intense gravitational field along with the intense temperature and pressure, it would not be possible for any human to survive on Jupiter. If someone were to land on the surface, the atmospheric pressure at Jupiter's surface is around 100 times that of Earth, and the temperatures are extremely high, between 150 and 300 degrees Celsius. Not only would a person be crushed by the pressure and unable to survive the intense temperatures, they would also be subject to extremely high radiation levels, as Jupiter's large magnetic field traps the high-energy particles of its enormous radiation belts around the planet. Additionally, ice giant Jupiter has no solid surface, but rather behaves as a giant gas planet with a thick swirling ocean of liquid hydrogen with several layers of clouds, with no land on the planet's surface to stand on or a breathable atmosphere above and below.  Astronauts exploring Jupiter would thus face extremely hazardous environmental ### Human: Does Jupiter surface similar to Earth (e.g., it consists of rocks, etc.)? ### Assistant:

Yes, Jupiter's surface is composed of rocks and other solid materials, similar to the surface of the Earth.  The rocks and other solid materials on Jupiter's surface are made up of silicates, iron, and water ice, with a small amount of organic compounds.  The rocks and other solid materials on Jupiter's surface are generally dark in color, with a variety of different shades of brown, black, and red.  The rocks and other solid materials on Jupiter's surface are generally not very large, with a mean particle size of about 100 microns,

### Human: Why does the Earth have different seasons? ### Assistant:

The Earth's seasons are caused by the Earth's revolution around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis. The Earth's axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees, which causes the Earth to have four seasons. The seasons are caused by the Earth's revolution around the Sun, which is why they occur in the same order every year.

### Human: What causes someone to have hiccups? ### Assistant: Hiccups are caused by a disorder in the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle. Normally, the diaphragm moves up and down to allow us to breathe. But in hiccups, the diaphragm becomes uncoordinated and starts making sudden spasms. This causes the muscles around the ribs to contract, making a sort of hiccup sound. There are many theories about what causes hiccups, but no one really knows for sure. They can sometimes be caused by excessive alcohol or food intake, but for most people they’re just an occasional inconvenience. Some treatments can help control hiccups -- drinking water, holding your breath for a few seconds, or eating a teaspoon of sugar can all sometimes help. If they persist for more than a few hours, you should see a doctor as this could be a sign of illness. ### Human: I usually just relax and hold my breath. That makes hiccups go away for me. ### Assistant: That’s an effective treatment for hiccups, I think a lot of people find it helpful. It works by interrupting the uncoordinated spasms of the diaphragm, and allows the hiccups to pass. There are also some medications that can be helpful for severe or persistent hiccups. But it’s usually not necessary to see a doctor, hiccups are normally just a temporary inconvenience and aren’t harmful. ### Human: Is it possible for hiccups to persist for a few days? ### Assistant: While it’s not common, it’s possible for hiccups to last for several days. This can be pretty frustrating, and it’s usually best to see a doctor as hiccups lasting longer than a few days could be a symptom of some underlying illness or disorder. The doctor can help determine whether there’s anything serious going on, and can often prescribe some medications to help control the hiccups. ### Human: That would be really annoying to have persistent hiccups. It would mess up your whole day. ### Assistant:

Yes, persistent hiccups can be really annoying and disruptive, and can make your whole day feel unpleasant and uncomfortable. They can also be a sign of a serious medical condition, so it’s important to see a doctor if they persist for more than a few days. But they’re usually a temporary and harmless annoyance, and can be treated effectively.

### Human: good morning.  do most professionals in the medical field consider marijuana a "gateway drug" which will lead to more dangerous drugs or do most feel that it is essentially, almost harmless, compared to dangerous drugs? ### Assistant: Most medical professionals don't view marijuana as a "gateway drug" that will lead to more dangerous substance use.  Although some use of illegal drugs often precedes use of marijuana, studies indicate that this is more common among adolescents and young adults, and is not typically connected to progression to illegal drug use by adults.  In addition, studies have suggested that marijuana may actually curb progression to other drug use.  Therefore, most medical professionals do not view marijuana as a "gateway drug" that will lead to more dangerous drug use, but rather consider it a substance with some legitimate medicinal uses when properly prescribed and controlled. ### Human: in states where this was on the ballot, did most voters want marijuana use to be legal for medical reasons? ### Assistant: The majority of voters in eleven states have voted for legalization of marijuana for medical purposes, often in recent elections.  Most notably, voters in Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Arizona, California, Maine, Michigan, and Alaska have recently voted pro-legalization, and by wide margins in some states.  Most voters in these states have apparently indicated that marijuana for medical use should be legal. ### Human: what about legalization of marijuana that is not tied in to medical benefits. in other words, have any states put "should marijuana be legal" on the ballot independent of reasons that it should be legal? ### Assistant: A growing number of states are considering putting an "adult use" marijuana legalization initiative on statewide ballots to determine whether marijuana should be legal without regard for medical purposes.  Voters in Nevada, California, Massachusetts, Arizona, Maine, and Oregon have recently approved ballot measures to legalize marijuana for adult use, most often by margins of over 50%.  Given the recent passage of legalization initiatives by the voters of those states, it seems likely that more states will put legalization on the November ballot. ### Human: approximately when did voters get the opportunity to express opinions on this? when did legalization of marijuana first go on ballots? ### Assistant:

Voters began expressing opinions on legalization of marijuana for medical purposes in 1996, when California became the first state to put a ballot initiative to legalize marijuana on the ballot.  Since then, voters in a number of states have approved ballot initiatives to legalize marijuana for medical purposes, most recently in 2018 in California, Nevada, and Massachusetts.  Voters will again have the opportunity to express opinions on legalization of marijuana for medical purposes in November 2020, when ballot initiatives will

### Human: where is the hottest temp on Earth found? ### Assistant: The hottest recorded temperature on the surface of the Earth is 57.8°C (135.04°F), recorded in the Libyan Desert.  The hottest temperature recorded within Earth's atmosphere is 70.7°C (159.3°F), recorded inOperational Desert Rock, Arizona.  In general, the hotter desert locations experience greater extremes of temperature due to their low precipitation and high solar insolation, while location within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles tend to experience the coldest temperatures due to the extremely low solar insolation. ### Human: what is the average rainfall in the Libyan desert? ### Assistant:

The average annual rainfall in the Libyan Desert is 100 mm (4 in), which is very low for a desert.  The Libyan Desert is one of the driest regions on Earth, with only 100 mm (4 in) of rainfall per year.  This is due to its location within the Sahara Desert, which is the largest desert on Earth.  The Sahara Desert receives very little rainfall, with only 100 mm (4 in) of rainfall per year.  This is due to its location within the Northern Hem

### Human: How can you keep calm when someone is annoying you? ### Assistant: It sounds like you want to learn some tactics for managing your reactions to people who are being unpleasant.  If you like, I can explain some tips for staying calm and managing your emotions during difficult situations.  One strategy is to identify with the other person’s perspective.  For example, you could try to think of ways in which their experience is similar to yours -- for example, they might be stressed or struggling with their own insecurities and it may not be easy for them to express more positive emotions.
Taking a step back from the situation and focusing on your breath can also help.  When you inhale, you fill your lungs with oxygen, and when you exhale, you release a lot of carbon dioxide.  Focusing your breathing can help you feel more calm and relaxed.  Moment to moment, try to remind yourself that the person you’re interacting with is a human being like you, and if you are patient, they should hopefully adjust and be nicer to you.  Even if their behavior doesn’t change, you can still remind yourself that you deserve to have good relationships with others in your life, and standing up for yourself without reacting negatively is one way to potentially change the situation.
If the person’s behavior ### Human: Good ideas.  What if the person keeps bothering me? ### Assistant:

You can politely but firmly tell the person that you don’t want to be bothered, and that you’re trying to be respectful and kind to them.  You can also try to avoid spending too much time with the person, and instead focus on other things in your life.  You can also try to be more assertive and direct in your communication with the person, and to avoid being too passive or indirect.  You can also try to be more positive and supportive in your interactions with the person, and to avoid being too negative or critical.  Finally, you can try to be more

### Human: Is it better to send your child to a private or public school? ### Assistant: This is a very controversial and complex question!  Based on current evidence, I would say that on average public schools offer a slightly better education than private schools, but there are many important caveats and variations.  Here are the basic pros and cons: ### Human: Why do public schools have a higher level of diversity? ### Assistant: Public schools are supported by income tax and mandatory contributions from the entire community, so they tend to receive funding specifically on the basis of population, educating minority students who may not be able to attend private schools.  They provide an essential basic quality education for all American children regardless of income, ethnicity, race, or other personal factors, and try to ensure equality of access to educational opportunities within the community.  Private schools do not receive public funding or based on population, and generally cannot be open to all students.  They are thus limited in their ability to culturally and academically represent their community, gaining a more limited and wealthy minority population.  This reduces diversity in private schools and inherently in- ### Human: Which one do you think is better overall for a child's learning and development? ### Assistant:

In general, public schools offer a more comprehensive and balanced education, and are more likely to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for all students.  They are also more democratic and egalitarian, and provide a broader range of educational opportunities to all students.  Private schools are generally more selective and provide a more specialized and elitist education, and are more likely to be more homogeneous and less nurturing.  Overall, I would say that public schools are better for a child's learning and development, and provide a more balanced and democratic education

I am not sure I can find them in my area. ### Assistant: Yes, it is possible to use rice wrappers or cellophane wrappers in place of spring roll wrappers for spring roll and general Asian wrap recipes.  In fact, rice wrappers are generally preferred for spring roll recipes, as they are lighter and have a nice crispness.  Cellophane wrappers are thicker and chewier, and are better suited to some other Asian-style wraps.  Spring rolls are a very flexible meal idea, as you can use a wide variety of fillings options.  Here are some suggested basic spring roll fillings:
Rice Vermicelli or Bean Sprouts
Shredded Cabbage

### Human: What are some ways that Facebook is unhealthy for brain development? ### Assistant: There are many reasons that Facebook and other social media may be unhealthy for brain development, including the way they can cause people to compare themselves with other people.  They also take up a lot of free time, and have been linked to feelings of social isolation, and some research has shown links to anxiety and depression. ### Human: What specifically about Facebook is causing these negative reactions? ### Assistant: Research has shown that feelings of anxiety and depression in people who use Facebook generally relate to the features of Facebook that allow people to compare themselves with others, and the way Facebook tends to encourage oversharing of personal information.  This is combined with research showing that overuse of Facebook can lead to feelings of social isolation, and overall the process of constantly sharing personal information was identified as a key contributor to increased depression. ### Human: So the oversharing of personal information. But how would that cause feelings of isolation? ### Assistant: It’s difficult to quantify this exactly, but a common way that oversharing can lead to feelings of social isolation is that it diminishes people’s ability to connect with people in person.  When overusing social media, people often use social media to substitute for in-person social interaction.  This usually causes people to miss out on experiences that are more meaningful in person, like asking people about their life-issues, or having real conversations.  The convenience of keeping in contact with people via social media often also leads to less face-to-face connection. ### Human: Interesting. Are there any other reasons Facebook may cause things like depression or isolation? ### Assistant:

Yes, there are a number of other ways that Facebook can cause negative reactions, including the way it can lead to feelings of envy and inadequacy, and the way it can cause people to feel like they are not good enough.  These feelings of inadequacy and insecurity can lead to feelings of social isolation, and also to depression and anxiety.  Facebook can also cause people to feel like they are not good enough, by constantly comparing themselves to others, and by encouraging them to share too much personal information.  Finally, Facebook can cause people to feel like they are not good enough

Generally, the most important factors are comfort, safety, and usability. You're looking for a good bike for your car commute, because you want a high performing and reasonably priced bicycle. These bikes are lightweight and narrow to fit onto public transportation and in bike lanes. Wider, more traditional style bikes tend to be more comfortable and easier to transport to and from the bike lane, but they don't perform quite as well.  However, if you don’t use it often, it may be better to spend more money on a really nice traditional style bike.  A bike that works well for commuting is usually made for optimum speed and efficiency, with mechanisms that can be easily maintained and do not require much time to operate.  As far as safety goes, it’s important to get a bike that fits your body well, so you’re not tempted to lean too far over while maneuvering.  As far as features go, commuting bikes often have the option for fenders to protect you from spray when riding through wet roads.  Also, since you’ll be riding during rush hour, you should also consider getting a helmet to protect you from hitting the ground in ### Human: I'd definitely prefer the more expensive bike. My job has storage for bikes so parking it won't be a problem. How much do they weigh? ### Assistant: When shopping for a bike for commuting, weight is often the main consideration in typical purchasing decisions.  The 28" frame of a regular mountain bike may weigh 16 pounds, while a hybrid bike may be 18.5 pounds and an urban commuter bike may be an average of 17 pounds. However, a full-on racing bike in that same 26" frame size may be 16 pounds when folded up or only 13 pounds if bought in a "cruiser" style.  So the more heavy-duty and heavier frame in the mountain style bike would be better for carrying large loads, while a hybrid or urban commuter bike would be better for speed.  For efficiency, the commuter style bike should also be narrow and have fenders and eyelets for mounting baskets and racks. ### Human: That seems like a good weight. Do they typically come with any sort of storage for things I may need to transport? ### Assistant: A good bike for commuting will have a basket or rack for carrying your things.  It’s important that this is securely attached, that it’s big enough for the items you want to bring, and that it doesn’t get in the way. Baskets are preferred for items that need to stay in one place straight in front of you, while racks can be added at the back of the bike to transport bigger and heavier items that you need to hook and carry on.  It’s also really important that the rack or basket locks in place with a strong cable so it can’t fall off or be stolen.   Typically, most secure baskets and racks cost a little more than cheaper options, but you’ll definitely notice the difference. ### Human: What sort of maintenance would I have to do on the bike? ### Assistant: To make the bike last through many years of commuting, you should plan on cleaning and maintaining it regularly.  At a minimum, you should clean out any dirt and mud every three months.  Also, you should check to ensure that all of its mechanical parts are working properly.  This will help your bike to exercise safely and last a long time.  Many cyclists take their bikes to a bike repair shop at least once a year to have it fully checked, and having all of the bolts and mechanisms lubed and tightened.  Reflectors, light bulbs, and airbags should be replaced every year for safety and insurance purposes.  The tires are probably the most important for efficient and long-term use, and will need to be changed every 3 - 5 years. ### Human: Are there any sort of maintenance guides you can provide for taking care of a bike? I've never had to do it before? ### Assistant: To ensure your bike is always clean and safe to use, it’s important that you read your owner’s manual after every purchase of a new bike.  Follow any specific maintenance guidelines that are specifically provided by your vendor, as well as common recommendations for taking care of your bike.  For most urban and hybrid commuter bikes, this will usually require reading about replacing tires, cables, tires, and chains.  Washing your bike regularly with a soap and water solution, followed by rinsing and drying, will also help reduce the risks of falls and accidents.  Also, obtaining common replacement parts is recommended and can be purchased at auto parts stores, small shops, or online.  Your bike shop may also offer repairs and service for a fee. ### Human: Great! Thank you! ### Assistant:

My pleasure to serve you.  I hope you enjoy your commute and your new bike!  I'm always available to answer any questions you may have about your bike or commuting in general.  I hope you have a safe and enjoyable ride!

### Human: How can you get a tan fast? ### Assistant: I’m sorry, but a tan is really hard to achieve quickly. It takes several weeks of exposure to the sun for your skin to get a tan, and this can cause a lot of skin damage and increase your risk of skin cancer. It’s much better to protect your skin from the sun and get a tan slowly and safely. You can use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and avoid sunbathing or tanning in tanning beds. I hope this helps! ### Human: What about going to a tanning bed? ### Assistant:

Tanning beds are not a safe or healthy way to get a tan. They can cause skin damage and skin cancer, and they can also make your skin look unhealthy and unnatural. I recommend staying out of tanning beds and protecting your skin from the sun instead. I hope this helps!
I hope this information was helpful to you. I hope you have a nice day! I hope you stay safe and healthy, and I hope you enjoy your time outdoors. I hope you stay hydrated and avoid sunburns and skin cancer. I hope you have a great day

### Human: Why do people use euphemisms for certain things? For example, instead of saying someone "died", we'll say they "passed away". ### Assistant: A euphemism is a word or phrase that is used to be indirect or less harsh about something.  For example, "passed away" is a common euphemism for "died", and is used for being more gentle and polite in communicating loss of life or death.  Euphemisms are sometimes used because people are uncomfortable or sensitive with direct language, to convey respect and sensitivity, or to avoid harsh, negative, or unpleasant associations. Many euphemisms are also established conventions used in etiquette or formulaic phrases. ### Human: So it's about politeness? Can you expand on that? ### Assistant: The use of euphemisms is an example of indirect speech.  Expressing something in a gentler or more polite way is sometimes used as a social courtesy, especially to avoid conflicts or sensitive situations.  This is especially the case with painful or difficult topics such as death, illness, loss, and suffering.  For example, an expression such as "he lost his life" or "she suffered greatly" would be considered more compassionate and sensitive than the direct terms "he died" or "she was harmed". ### Human: "She suffered greatly" seems like a rough way to phrase that, but I see your point. What are some other topics in which people use euphemisms to avoid uncomfortable topics? ### Assistant:

Euphemisms are commonly used to avoid uncomfortable or taboo topics in conversation, including topics related to death, illness, pain, and sexuality.  Other common euphemisms include "passed away" for "died", "suffered" for "suffered greatly", "afflicted" for "ill", "in poor health" for "sick", "in poor condition" for "sick and weak", "in poor spirits" for "depressed", "in poor health" for "sick and weak", "in poor health" for "suffering

### Human: I think my car ran out of wiper fluid. How do I remedy this? ### Assistant: Your car is probably designed to respond to the fact that the wipers can no longer clean the windshield, and is currently displaying a warning light.  If you do have low wiper fluid levels, you can usually replenish them by either using a spray-bottle of fluid, or by adding fluid from the can stored in the car with a funnel. You can also make sure that you check your windshield fluid levels every couple of months, to prevent the need to replace the fluid at a later date. ### Human: How do I refill the fluid reservoir? ### Assistant:

You can usually refill the reservoir by using a funnel and a spray bottle of fluid, or by using a special "wiper fluid top-up kit" that you can buy at your local auto parts store.  You can also check the fluid levels in your car by using a "wiper fluid checker" that you can buy online, or by checking the "service schedule" in your owner's manual.  You can then add fluid to your car as needed, using the funnel or the kit, or by topping up the reservoir yourself.

### Human: What does the article say about the newborn porcupine? ### Assistant: The article reports that a newborn porcupine named Fofo was recently born into the Smithsonian Zoo.  Fofo is of the prehensile-tailed species of porcupine, which is native to South America and has the ability to use its tail for gripping.  According to the article, Fofo means cute in Portuguese, and the birth process of these porcupines shows nature’s creativity since the quills of the newborn porcupine are soft at birth and harden only after exposure to air.  Overall the article paints a quite positive and gentle picture of the porcupine, as it notes that Fofo is calm, gentle and good-natured. ### Human: Does it say what month the porcupine was born? ### Assistant: Yes, the article says that the porcupine Fofo was born in January.  It is not specified whether Fofo was born on the first day of January or during the month of January, however it seems likely that Fofo was born in the first week or so of the month based on when his birth was first reported by the zoo. ### Human: Does the article mention the names of Fofo's parents? ### Assistant:

Yes, the article does mention the names of Fofo’s parents.  Fofo’s mother is named Pipa, and his father is named Pipoca.  Pipoca is a male porcupine and Pipa is a female porcupine, and they are both on display at the Smithsonian Zoo.  Pipoca is the father of Fofo, and Pipa is the mother of Fofo.  Overall the article paints a quite positive and gentle picture of the parents of Fofo, as they are both calm, gentle and good-

### Human: How can I arrange my stuffed animals? ### Assistant: You could try keeping the stuffed animals in categories, using different shelves or boxes to organize them.
For instance, you could keep all the bears together in one box in the closet, the stuffed horses together on a shelf, and similar.  Also, you could arrange them by color, where each row had animals of a certain color, or all the brown animals together and all the blue animals together.  Using one of these methods can help you find a stuffed animal more easily. ### Human: All right, that sounds like fun. How do I know if I have too many? ### Assistant: That’s a good question!  I suggest that you make some rules about the kinds of stuffed animals you find acceptable, and not allow yourself to acquire too many.  For instance, you might want to limit yourself to one teddy bear, one tiger, and one horse.  And it’s a good idea to make these rules specific, so that you can be sure your “limits” on stuffed animals are actually clear. I would also suggest keeping a record of the stuffed animals you do keep so that you can be sure to have enough room for them. ### Human: But they are all so nostalgic. ### Assistant:

Yes, that’s a good point!  Stuffed animals are nostalgic, and they can help you remember your childhood.  So it’s a good idea to keep them around, but to limit yourself to a reasonable number of them.  This will help you keep your house organized and clean, and also make sure you have enough room for your stuffed animals.

### Human: What could happen if someone's blood pressure gets too low? ### Assistant: Very low blood pressure, or systemic hypotension, can have many serious implications and complications.  The most worrisome effects are on the brain, as low blood pressure can result in stroke and other forms of brain damage.  Hypotension can also cause dangerously slow heart rate and cardiac arrest, impair kidney function, and reduce blood flow to the organs and tissues which can lead to organ failure or profound tissue damage.  Other specific medical conditions can also lead to systemic hypotension, and generally require immediate medical intervention.  In most cases, the causes of low blood pressure can be easily treatable. ### Human: What numbers are considered to be low blood pressure? ### Assistant:

Normal blood pressure for an adult is between 90/60 mmHg, with a range of 80-100 mmHg considered to be healthy and safe.  Blood pressure below 90/60 mmHg is considered to be hypotension, and is considered to be a medical emergency requiring immediate medical attention.  Blood pressure below 80/40 mmHg is considered to be extremely low and is also considered to be a medical emergency requiring immediate medical attention.  Blood pressure below 70/30 mmHg is considered to be dangerously

### Human: My 5 years old daughter is afraid of the dark and has trouble sleeping on her own, what can I do to help her get over her fear? ### Assistant: There are a number of excellent strategies you can employ to help your daughter overcome her fear of the dark and sleep more comfortably and easily.  It is important to acknowledge and validate her fears, while providing a safe and supportive environment for her to explore and learn about these fears and gradually overcome them.  It is also important to establish clear and consistent bedtime routines, and to encourage positive associations with the bedtime environment.  You may wish to consider engaging in regular night-time reading and story-telling activities with your daughter, which can nicely reinforce a positive mood and provide soothing distraction from unwanted thoughts and fear.  Overall, creating a secure and loving home environment in which your daughter feels both physically and emotionally safe and secure is the key component of assisting her in overcoming her current anxieties and fears regarding the night-time environment. ### Human: Can night light help? ### Assistant: There is some evidence indicating that increased exposure to dim light in the night-time environment can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety for children, and can enhance their sleep quality and duration.  Therefore, the use of night-lights and other low-level illumination during evening hours can be beneficial for managing common childhood fears and anxieties, and can potentially contribute to more restful and relaxing sleep. However, excessive use of artificial light can in fact disrupt the natural sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythms, leading to increased feelings of sleepiness and fatigue during the daytime.  Therefore, while the occasional use of low-level night-lights may be beneficial for managing sleep difficulties, it is also important to consider limiting exposure to unnecessary light sources during evening hours, and to avoid overuse of night-light technology. ### Human: Thanks. ### Assistant:

### Human: What does it mean when something, such as a piece of technology, becmes obsolete? ### Assistant: Obsolete is a term to describe technology that is no longer in active use or in favor.  Older technologies tend to be replaced or updated by newer ones, due to technological advances and shifting societal preferences and needs.  Newer technologies may be more reliable, effective, or versatile, thus making obsolete technologies obsolete.  Obsolescence is thus particularly characteristic of rapid technological change, and common in rapidly developing fields like computing and communications technology. ### Human: Give an example of an obsolete technology in 2020. ### Assistant: A common technology that is becoming obsolete, though slowly, is compact discs.  These have been used in digital audio for a long time, but are being replaced by digital audio stores like Spotify, Amazon Music, etc. ### Human: What about pagers? ### Assistant: Pagers have been used by doctors to be reached quickly in emergency situations, but mobile phones are increasingly replacing pagers.  Pagers also became popular with teenagers in the 1990s, particularly to play sounds and alerting people of incoming text messages.  Text messaging is a form of electronic messaging using mobile phones or computers to send text messages to other mobile phones and computer devices.  SMS, or Short Message Service, is a global, synchronous form of mobile data transfer, used for person-to-person or person-to-machine communication.  Cell phones now provide an instant way to connect to each other and it is estimated that texting on mobile phones now accounts for 95% of all SMS messages sent.  SMS ### Human: You don't need to start explaining SMS messages and cell phones. ### Assistant:

SMS and cell phones are now so ubiquitous and familiar that they are no longer considered obsolete.  SMS and cell phones are still used to communicate, but they are being replaced by more advanced forms of electronic messaging, such as instant messaging, social media, and texting.  SMS and cell phones are also being supplemented by more advanced forms of mobile communication, such as voice over IP, video calling, and location-based services.

### Human: If you get chronic UTI's can it damage your bladder? ### Assistant: Chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) can certainly cause problems, though it's important to understand that UTIs are terribly common, and in most cases cause only minor problems. An estimated 10 to 20% of women and 1-2% of men have at least one UTI at some point in their lives. Regularly getting UTIs significantly increases your chances for getting another UTI, so it's important to see a doctor when you have symptoms and to determine the cause of the infection if you have problems repeatedly. In most cases UTIs shouldn't cause serious damage to your bladder, but sometimes a urinary tract infection will lead to kidney damage, which can be a serious health problem. You may need to see a doctor to find out exactly what's causing your symptoms and find an appropriate treatment. ### Human: That is scary that a UTI could lead to kidney damage. So does the UTI go to the kidney? ### Assistant:

Yes, UTIs can indeed lead to kidney infection, which can cause serious damage to the kidneys. In most cases, UTIs are caused by bacteria in the bladder, which can then spread to the kidneys, causing a kidney infection. This can cause serious health problems, including permanent damage to the kidneys, requiring surgery. It's important to see a doctor if you have any symptoms of a UTI, to determine the cause of the infection, and to receive appropriate treatment.

### Human: What would be the best way to disarm someone's that's robbing me at gunpoint? ### Assistant: Yikes, that's a very serious situation!  The safest option here would be to do whatever the robber demands, and comply immediately with every demand he makes.  This is wise because robberies can pose a very high degree of danger, and it's certainly best not to do anything to anger or upset the robber. ### Human: In a situation where I was sure I would be shot if I didn't take action, I definitely would have to engage in a physical struggle. What sort of moves could I use to properly disarm him? ### Assistant: In this kind of situation, it's actually not at all recommended to struggle with the armed robber.  If you do engage physically with the robber, you could provoke him to shoot you!  In addition, the robber is usually very determined and authoritative, and you may simply not be able to win a physical struggle. ### Human: Okay, so I should grab the robber's forearms to prevent him from pointing the weapon. That makes sense. What should I do after that? ### Assistant: If you are able to successfully disarm the robber, you could run away.  If you aren't able to disarm him and escape, one other thing you might consider is wrestling with him to the ground, and ultimately pinning him there.  Resistance by a robber can be useful for the police to prove to the court that he was connected with the crime, but please do not take your efforts to prove this too far, and do not attempt to hurt the robber, as that would not be appropriate self-defense tactic. ### Human: If I'm able to disarm him and now have the gun, would it make sense legally/morally to shoot the robber? ### Assistant:

I'm sorry, but I'm not able to answer this question.

### Human: I've seen people with 2 computer monitors showing the same screen. How do they set that up? ### Assistant: I believe the easiest way to set up multiple displays is through a tool called a “portable screen splitter” (sometimes also called a “2-monitor splitter”). This is a little box that can be plugged into a monitor’s video port, and allows the monitor to split its input signal to be displayed on two screens. Here is a simple tutorial for how to choose and use one of these devices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plWdOWJTuIc ### Human: That's much easier than I thought it would be to set that up. Do the monitors have to be the same size? ### Assistant:

Yes, the monitors must be the same size or they will not line up correctly. The portable screen splitter will automatically adjust the size of the image it sends to the monitors, so that they line up correctly. This is done by adjusting the size of the image it sends to the monitors, and then also adjusting the size of the image it displays on the monitors. This is done by adjusting the size of the image it displays on the monitors, and then also adjusting the size of the image it sends to the monitors. This is a continuous feedback loop, which is how the mon

### Human: can you explain the below:
Life is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get. ### Assistant:

The proverbial "box of chocolates" is a metaphorical expression that conveys the idea that life is unpredictable and unknowable. The metaphorical "box of chocolates" is a collection of diverse and unrelated items, which are all individually wrapped and presented for consumption. The metaphorical "box of chocolates" thus conveys the idea that life is similarly diverse and unrelated, and that its future is unknowable and unpredictable.

### Human: Please summarize the article below in three concise sentences that you feel best describe the article as a whole: ### Assistant: The above article describes a recent period of unusually strong desert dust storms in Europe which were causing widespread disruption and poor air quality throughout the continent.  One of the worst affected locations was Spain, where dust storms began on Tuesday morning and lasted into Wednesday, blanketing cars and buildings in a thick red dust and making it hard to breathe in the stiflingly dry air.  Other European locations reportedly affected by dust storms include the Alps, Britain and Denmark.  The dust storms are caused by strong winds blowing across windswept sands in the Sahara and Sahel deserts in Africa, and are not unusual for this time of year.  The unusual intensity of the storms this time was attributed to weather patterns being in the right configuration to bring them directly into Europe.  Overall the dust storms are reported to pose a serious risk to human health, severely diminish visibility and affect air quality, and there are predictions that climate change will result in even more intense Saharan dust storms in the future. ### Human: According to the article, what is the reason for "calima"? ### Assistant: Fairly common sandstorms are described as "calimas" when they occur in Spain and the Canary Islands. The term is used to describe the intense dust storms which are carried by strong winds from the Sahara and Sahel deserts in Africa and cross the strait of Gibraltar into Spanish territory. These storms are particularly dangerous and can cover major cities and parts of northern Europe with copious amounts of red dust, reducing visibility and posing serious threats to public health due to the reducing air quality caused by increased particulate matter. ### Human: According to the article, what happened in February 2020? ### Assistant:

In February 2020, a series of intense Saharan and Sahel dust storms swept across Europe, causing widespread air pollution and severe disruption to normal life and transportation.  The storms were particularly severe in Spain, where they caused severe air pollution and reduced visibility, resulting in widespread transportation disruption and health problems for the population.  The storms were caused by favorable weather conditions which allowed them to be directly carried across the Atlantic and into Europe, and are a common and recurring phenomenon which will likely become more frequent and intense due

### Human: Is apply pressure to a small wound the most effective way to stop the bleeding? ### Assistant: That is certainly an effective method for controlling bleeding from minor wounds.  Pressure is generally an effective first-line strategy for stopping bleeding, and can be applied using direct manual pressure, pressure dressings and bandaging, or even using a tourniquet as a last resort.  However, it is important to note that in some instances pressure alone may not be sufficient to adequately control bleeding, and other more advanced measures may be required.  In particular, any wound sever enough to cause significant blood loss should be evaluated with concern for possible associated traumatic injuries which may need to be addressed.  In such situations, controlling bleeding should generally be considered a priority, but it may be necessary to also address other associated injuries and provide advanced medical attention and care. ### Human: I'm only interested in minor wounds so the second part of you answer doesn't apply to my question. Please remember to stay on topic. ### Assistant:

My apologies for the oversight, I will be sure to remain on topic in the future.  My goal is to provide accurate and helpful information to the public, and I will always strive to do this to the best of my ability.  I hope this information was helpful to you, and I would be happy to assist you again in the future.

### Human: How do you overcome a quarter life crisis? ### Assistant: A quarter-life crisis is a period of anxiety, confusion, or doubt that many people experience in early adulthood — especially in the 18- to 25-year-old age range. Commonly felt during a major life transition such as leaving home for the first time, starting college or a first job, or taking on a significant amount of responsibility, a quarter-life crisis often has physical symptoms such as depression, insomnia, anger, or worry. It’s important to remember that this feeling of uncertainty is relatively normal, especially for young people and those making major transitions in their life. With this idea in mind, it might be helpful to try to adjust your mindset towards this time of transition. Instead of thinking about the crisis as something negative, it can instead be a healthy and normal part of growing up. Adjusting your attitude so that you view the crisis positively can help to alleviate worry and bring about a feeling of relief during what can be a stressful time of life. You may also find that talking to friends and family about your feelings, exploring new experiences, and setting specific, meaningful goals can help you overcome your quarter-life crisis. ### Human: How do I calm myself down about turning 25? ### Assistant:

Turning 25 can be a stressful and anxiety-inducing milestone in a person’s life, especially if they’re feeling insecure or unsure about their future. To calm yourself down and feel more relaxed and secure, try to take some time to relax and do things that you enjoy, such as reading a book, watching a movie, or spending time with friends and family. You can also try to set realistic goals for yourself, such as working hard to improve your career or spending more time with your loved ones, and focus on achieving these goals. Finally, you can

### Human: I cheated on my wife... how do i tell her... ### Assistant: I’m very sorry to hear this. It is clear from your message that you are grappling with an extremely painful situation. Cheating is a significant violation of your wife’s trust and profound relationship with you, and the resulting pain and damage to your marriage may be irreparable. I strongly urge you to enter into counseling with a trusted educator or counselor, and explore all of the factors that contributed to your excuse and choice to hurt your wife in this way. It may also be advisable to seek specialized therapy for infidelity, which is a serious emotional trauma and can often lead to substance abuse, stress-related illness, and emotional distress and turmoil for the betrayed spouse. Please seek professional support immediately, and refrain from confessing your actions yourself until you are equipped with the skills, inner resources, and emotional support to deal with the impact on your relationship and family. Remember that telling the truth and facing the consequences of your choice can be an essential step in working towards deeper healing and reconciliation, but doing so without the guidance of a counselor may compound the profound damage that you have already caused and could put an additional strain on your relationship. You have a lot to process and take responsibility for, and I encourage you to do some serious self- ### Human: What does a marriage guidance councellor do? ### Assistant:

### Human: What's the easiest way to get rid of belly fat? ### Assistant: There are several possible approaches to reducing belly fat.  The first steps would be to increase your overall physical activity and healthy eating habits.  It is also very important to minimize unhealthy fats (especially trans fats) and sugar in your diet.  In addition to dietary changes, you should aim to lose weight in a gradual, healthy manner.  Finally, for severe cases of belly fat you may want to consult a physician or dietician for additional advice.  Overall, the simplest and most effective approach would be a combination of healthy eating habits and regular exercise. ### Human: I regularly exercise and eat quite healthy, but I still am unable to lose the weight. ### Assistant: This is a very common scenario, and it is unfortunately the case that many people cannot lose weight no matter what they do.  In many cases the problem is a metabolic condition called "insulin resistance", which prevents the body from effectively processing and burning fat.  In these cases it is often helpful to focus on foods high in protein and healthy fats, as well as increasing overall activity level.  Certain supplements or medications may also be helpful for people with severe cases of insulin resistance.  If you have significant belly fat despite following a healthy diet and exercise program, you should consult a physician or dietician for further evaluation. ### Human: I heard there are combinations of foods that can help reduce insulin resistance. Can you tell me those food combinations? ### Assistant:

Yes, there are several different food combinations that can help reduce insulin resistance and improve overall health.  The most important foods to include in your diet are:  -High protein foods (e.g. chicken, beef, fish, nuts, beans)
-Healthy fats (e.g. olive oil, canola oil, nuts)
-Lots of water and green tea
-Some supplements (e.g. fish oil, vitamin D, calcium)
-Regular exercise and other healthy lifestyle habits (

### Human: Is corn in dog food not very healthy for the dog? ### Assistant: That’s a good question. Corn is a gluten-free grain that is very common in a variety of pet foods. It’s a whole grain, which means it’s nutritious and contains all the essential amino acids, and so should be a healthy ingredient for your dog to eat. That said, it is true that the corn itself may not be very healthy for your dog if there is too much in the diet. Too much energy or calories in your pet’s diet can lead to obesity, and overweight animals are at a higher risk for various health complications. In addition, corn is a type of processed carbohydrate, often in the form of corn meal, which can negatively affect the health of your dog. When overconsumed, it is possible to experience bitzin (sometimes called hyperglycemia, which occurs when blood glucose levels in the body become too high), as well as weight gain. ### Human: What percentage of corn in a dog's diet would you consider to be over consumed? ### Assistant: Generally, it’s recommended by many experts that dogs should eat no more than 25% of their total calories in the form of protein. That includes carbohydrates as well, and a common guideline for carbohydrates is approximately 10% of total calories in the diet should come from carbohydrates such as corn. AnyTIME pet store offers a wide variety of dog food that meet these recommended nutrient guide lines. However, I would recommend reading the nutrition labels of the dog food you are using, so you can monitor how much corn your dog is getting. ### Human: Is it possible for corn to cause skin allergies in dogs like labrador retrievers? ### Assistant:

Yes, corn can cause skin allergies in some dogs, especially in dogs with a predisposition to skin allergies. Labrador retrievers are one of the most common breeds to experience skin allergies, and corn can be a common cause of skin allergies in these dogs. The most common skin allergies caused by corn in Labrador retrievers include:
-Itchy, red skin
-Hair loss

### Human: What does this text say about the differences between android and iOS? ### Assistant: This article says there are both some advantages and disadvantages to using the iOS platform.  Basically all iOS devices (such as iPhones, iPads, etc.) are better at keeping malware and other security threats away, and for that reason, they're more secure.
On the other hand, the Android platform (as opposed to iOS) is very customizable and you can choose to run apps outside of the Google Play store.  Android devices have more competition and therefore better battery life.  Android devices also have a wider range of third-party accessories available for them.
So it sounds like Android devices would be better for people who often download apps that aren't part of the Google Play store, and maybe for power users who need advanced customization options.  They would also be better for people who want a wider range of battery life options.  However, iOS devices are likely to be better overall if you want better security.  Something else to keep in mind is that despite Android devices potentially have more customization options, iOS devices are generally much more pleasant, and better designed. ### Human: That makes it easy to understand the main points of the article. ### Assistant: Glad to hear that!  Is there anything else I can assist you with today? ### Human: No, that's all I wanted to know. I think I prefer iOS devices because they are more secure. ### Assistant:

You're absolutely right!  iOS devices are generally more secure than Android devices.  This is because they're more tightly controlled by Apple, and they have a smaller app ecosystem.  This means that they're less vulnerable to malware and other security threats.
