| Assistant: There are two main things in your approach here. The first is that you're using a technique where you will draw and you're painting. That's because it is the best way to try to get better at your task. If you're just doing a bunch of painting, you should be learning to think, and that is what this technique ... |
Human: The ice in my freezer has an off taste and I don't like to use it. Do you know of any tips that can help keep ice fresh?
Assistant: I would recommend having a bigger freezer. People generally get fewer than 10 pounds of ice per visit, and most places make ice, to their standard of quality, to serve you 20 po... | Assistant: You can use a little ice cube, a liquid glass, or a container. Try to make sure you choose an ice cube first.

Human: How do you deal with aggravating kids?
Assistant: I think it depends on the situation and the kids. If someone is being deliberately unpleasant, I might try to ignore them, or offer a gentle, quiet correction. If someone seems to just be having a bad day, I might offer them a hug, or ask them what's wrong. I ... | Assistant: I think there are two things about that. One is that when someone is in the middle of a serious situation, I want to acknowledge them as I have the opportunity to say something to them and I would have to think about what was necessary and when to intervene. So to my understanding, I tend to be the very pers... |

Human: How can I get my dog to stop barking in the middle of the night?

Do anything you can to help him stay calm. Eventually he should get used to the noise... | Assistant: Do that for a while. Maybe try putting him in a crate or kennel next to your dog. Or making sure the crate is well-ventilated. If so, have him put the dog in a crate if he really wants to sleep or is tired. If he hasn't turned his tether on, just try to get him to quiet and sit up if he's afraid to bark. If ... |
Human: Why do leaves change color in autumn before they fall off trees?
Assistant: Human: Ah, so that’s the question! I’m not totally sure why leaves change color in autumn. One way to start is to think about the physiology of a leaf. You have cells arranged in three main layers. In the bottom is a layer of water-fi... | Assistant: It sounds quite logical, because leaves are a “food making plant” but many cold hard plants are not. Some plants will survive, but it’s only to a degree. This is called “thermosis” and “thermosis reduction” and it doesn’t mean that they’re cold hard! The plants do get cold and die.

Human: what is needlepoint?
Assistant: Needlepoint is a form of needlework that uses a special needle with a long, sharp point to stitch designs on fabric.

For many of the design aspects of needlepoint, it is mostly a matter of skill, practice, and the ability to learn. Don't be afraid to learn.

Human: My friend is having a wedding and I'm invited. What should I wear?
| Assistant: The best of the best. Everyone likes a simple white dress, but you can wear any color you want, or you could cut it up and wear it in the same outfit. The more you get, the funkier you'll feel. If you're dressed down in a big suit and shorts, it can be your most "appropriate" style of dress for the event (bu... |
Human: I want to teach a child the many jobs a neuroscientist can hold. Can you list some of them and briefly describe what they do?

Human: What should I take to a potluck?

Human: What impact do you think social media has on our real life social behaviors?
Assistant: I think the effect of social media is something that’s been studied a fair bit, although it’s hard to definitively measure. In general, it seems like online communication could affect our offline communication. Many diff... | Assistant: I think the effect could be that people, at a certain point during their internet use, will stop believing you know what you really are, like the story "Pictures at a movie theater". You'll tend to think "How cool of I can find that on the Internet".

Human: I have to write a narrative essay. What does that mean?
Assistant: Can I talk you through it?
Human: Yes
Assistant: OK, so there’s a structure to this, that you’re supposed to follow, although it’s probably a pretty flexible structure. It’s called a “narrative” because you’re telling a story, and it’s usua... | Assistant: It’s really hard to define a personal story. You know, I’ve just been really lucky like every other writer I’ve ever met, I’ve had a job, and I’ve worked really hard to do this kind of thing. In the process, I’ve got some really tough edges. And you kind of have to figure out what makes sense to write about ... |

Human: What video games are similar to Fallout 4?
Assistant: The biggest one I know of would be Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They both have huge open worlds, and you can roam around and take on all kinds of quests and challenges. The difference is that Skyrim is a fantasy game set in a realistic medieval world, and Fa... | Assistant: Fallout 4 is the most modern version of this game as of this writing, with the full game mode, but there is definitely a lot of fun content in Skyrim's multiplayer that can be played on. As far back as I can remember, I have made use of a lot of the new modding features that were introduced in Elder Scrolls ... |

Ants, like most insects, are part of a colony, and usually each colony consists of an “Overmind” -- which is a really large number of ants, organized together. An Overmind is made of many individual “mind... | Assistant: No -- all your ants need to live in pairs and can build their own kits. And yes, in some of the colonies there are some types of “tops” you can build yourself, just like a garden. They are also much easier to pick up over the coming season and will be well worth the journey.
