Human: The Doobie Brothers seem to have been around for decades. I'm curious about a few of their first hits, on the music charts?
Assistant: Sure. Let's do it. I found the Billboard charts for 1971 and 1973, and looked up the first song by the Doobie Brothers on each of those charts.
For 1973, it was "Listen to... | I see, that's fair. Let's take a step back: Do you want me to repeat my last response, or explain my intention to you? Or do you want to start over? | I just want you to know that I appreciated your research on the Doobie Brothers. That's all. It's not a statement, it's an expression. |
Human: Can you tell me how to make a great Italian sub sandwich?
Assistant: | Sure! The first step is to get your ingredients: bread, tomato sauce, cheese, salami, and prosciutto. It’s a good idea to pre-bake your bread, which you can do by placing it on a cookie sheet and baking it in a 350°F oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until the outside is just a little toasty. | It really depends on the ingredients and what you want, do you know what kind of ingredients you want to use? |
Human: How do you schedule a package pickup with the US postal service?
Assistant: It’s in their web site, but if you google “us postal service pickup” you can get a page to fill out. For further clarification I can refer you to the page linked here.

Human: I'm making a lemon caper dip. So far I have the Greek full fat yogurt, lemon juice, and capers. Do you know of a recipe that can tell me what other ingredients I am missing to complete my lemon caper dip?
Assistant: | I’m not sure what Greek yogurt is, or what you mean by “capers”, or lemon juice. I don’t see any recipe here, either. I’m sure there are tons of recipes for a dip like this! Do you have one in mind that you want to use? | I can suggest a few ingredients that I think might be helpful. I found the recipes on Allrecipes.com and a few other sites:
Apple Cider Sour:
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
3 ounces vodka
3 ounces cider
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Ice cubes

Do you still have any questions? |
Human: What is a domestic partnership?
Assistant: It’s a relationship where a couple lives together and are dependent on one another, just like a marriage. The difference between marriage and domestic partnership is that the latter is not recognized by the state, and does not guarantee any rights.

Human: Which musician is Beyonce married to?
Assistant: | Beyonce is married to music producer Jay-Z. | Mm. Okay. I know what a "musician" is, but I'm not sure what Beyonce is. Is she also a "musician" or is she something else? |
Human: What is the difference between soccer and American football?
Assistant: Both are popular team sports. Soccer has been played for over 100 years, and it’s currently the most popular sport in the world. American football is similar, but the game is played on a large field rather than on a large pitch. The fi... | Yes, I can see how this is a difference between soccer and American football. The game of soccer can be played at a less high level of physical aggression. Some sports require players to have a higher amount of aggression, and this includes American football. | It’s possible that a soccer player might hit the ball at a moment when an opponent is in close proximity, as the ball can be very small and hard to follow. But it’s less likely to be the case than you may think. |
Human: What is deep cleaning teeth?
Assistant: | I recommend our interactive FAQ for more information. Here is a diagram of the human teeth: | I’m afraid I don’t understand the question. |
Human: How can I get myself to reduce my soda consumption?
Assistant: It’s a really good idea to limit your soda consumption if you can. This may be easier if you don’t drink any soda at all, but even if you just reduce the number of times you have a soda, it will be a good start.
Human: Okay, but how do I make my... | Great, so I can help you get a better understanding of why you’re having trouble with this. But first I’m going to tell you what I know about soda consumption: a few studies have found that soda is correlated with a range of health problems, including high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and tooth de... | Great! Okay, so one of the biggest problems is just that it feels really hard to stop and it’s tempting to just give up. If that’s how you’re feeling then it’s really important to just be really honest with yourself about why you’re feeling this way, and how you can keep going. |
Human: What causes earthquakes?
Assistant: The world is constantly vibrating because of tectonic plates. If a piece of the tectonic plate were to slip and break, it could cause a big earthquake.
Human: Can they be predicted?
Assistant: Not really. Seismologists don’t understand everything about earthquakes yet, ... | It’s because of the way California’s tectonic plates meet. A lot of earthquakes occur when plates move together, and California is on the edge of many of the tectonic plates. | Fault lines run through California. This is the “Ring of Fire”, and it has a lot of tectonic activity. California is also the most populated state in the US. |

Both include making an investment of 900 dollars. | Alright, this will give me a range of possible stock market scenarios for you. Here’s what it’s going to look like: You will be able to visualize the outcomes for three different scenarios, all of which involve three different investment amounts. I |
Human: Another medical which I know are hard. Are there any particular foods that are highly recommended for lowering blood pressure?
Assistant: Your body is always telling you what to eat, in subtle ways. You’re constantly tasting flavors, and so if you don’t like the taste of a food, that’s a sign it’s not good f... | Well done! I hope you’re going to try some different things, like exploring new kinds of foods you haven’t tried before, as well as eating fruits and vegetables. | Since the two options seemed to be leading in a similar direction, I would suggest something more specific that covers both of those concerns: Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s book, Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss. In the context of your question, the primary thing he would tell you is to ... |
Human: I enjoyed the book Blood Meridian. Can you recommend another book that I might enjoy?

Human: How can I plant garlic?
Assistant: That’s pretty easy, actually. You just dig a hole and push the garlic bulb in the dirt.
Human: How often do I water it?
Assistant: That depends. Are you growing them in your backyard? If so, you probably don’t have to do much watering, because the soil gets enough rain.... | No problem! Enjoy your garlic. | You’re welcome. Do you have any other questions? |
Human: I'm applying for a job that's above my experience level. Should I lie about having ore experience, or tell the truth? Why or not why?
Assistant: I would probably advise you to be honest, because the truth is more likely to come out at a later date, either when the employer discovers that you're a bad fit for ... | I'd also advise that if you think you have the skills and motivation for the job, it might be more important to keep your integrity and do the best job you can. You might be more fulfilled if you weren't playing to your image, but being authentic. | That's a difficult question! I think that honesty is an important virtue, but I understand that we all have reasons for not wanting to reveal everything that we know. Perhaps you're worried about not being seen as confident or worthy of respect. I can understand that, and I'm not sure how much I could persuade you t... |
Human: Which movies are similar in tone to Flash Gordon?
Assistant: Can you describe the tone of these movies?
Human: Flash Gordon is a campy space or science fiction adventure film.
Assistant: The "campy" aspect of the tone of Flash Gordon makes me think of these films:
1. The Phantom Menace

Human: What type of bristles should I look for when purchasing a paintbrush?
Assistant: I have great news! There are many different bristles available, and they all have a different purpose. They can have more or less stiffness, and the stiffness of the brush is really determined by the type of material that the bri... | A brush with soft bristles is ideal, as you want them to be able to push and pull the paint smoothly on the rough surface of the wood. Brushes with stiff bristles can also work, but you might run into problems if the wood is dirty or when there are spots on the wall that are extra rough or have thick grain. | I’m glad you asked! That is a really interesting question, because the wood you paint on is a living material, so the strength of the wood will vary, depending on the area of the tree that the wood came from, and the history of the tree. Additionally, there are different types of wood, and they will each be slightly d... |
Human: What's the easiest way to shred potatoes?

Human: What are our closest genetic relatives in the animal kingdom?
Assistant: Chimpanzees
Human: I've also heard the bonobo. What do you know about bonobo?

They make fire. | Bonobos are very similar to humans in their social behavior. Are you wondering if you could be related to them? |
Human: Can you recommend a good recipe for a vegetarian curry?
Assistant: What exactly do you mean by a “vegetarian” curry? Is it a vegetarian meal made with spices and a curry base? If so, I think I can help. There’s a very well-known vegetarian curry made in India called a Tarka Dahl. It’s made with dahl beans... | I’m glad you asked! The author’s note says that naan bread is traditionally served, and that would be good with the meal. However, you could also try serving it on basmati rice. | The recipe actually calls for the dahl beans to be eaten by themselves, in a pureed form, with some chutney. It sounds delicious! I hope you’ll give it a try! |
Human: Are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches bad for your health?
Assistant: Are you asking if they’re nutritious, or if eating them will cause cancer?
Human: Yeah. Are they healthy?
Assistant: | As I understand it, many doctors consider peanut butter to be a “high-fat, high-cholesterol” food, but that’s not necessarily a terrible thing if you eat reasonable amounts of other healthy foods and are physically active. | For regular sandwiches, the nutrients they contain come mostly from the bread and meat inside. So it’s best to avoid making very large sandwiches. If you still want a sandwich and you’re concerned about calories, your best bet might be to cut off the crusts and choose whole-grain bread. |
Human: Should you take you dog for a ride in the car?
Assistant: That depends on how well you’re planning on restraining the dog.
Human: So should I take him or not?
Assistant: That’s for you to decide. Do you want to go somewhere or just to go for a ride?
Human: Well both really.
Assistant: | So you want to take him for a ride. Would you like me to go for a ride in your car? Or, should I just go somewhere else? | And where is the car going? |

https:/... | Sorry. I’m not sure what the problem is. If you don’t have access to internet, you might be able to find an internet cafe or library that has web access. | I’m very sorry for this, but I can’t help. Perhaps you can reach out to your library or a local bookseller for help with finding ebooks in your area. |
Human: Is frozen yogurt actually yogurt, or is it just another type of ice cream?
Assistant: | The company that owns frozen yogurt was originally an ice cream manufacturer, and some frozen yogurt products still contain ice cream, but they have moved to using other ingredients like fruit juice, fresh fruit, and flavored syrups instead. | Frozen yogurt is basically just like regular yogurt, but it has had sugar or other flavoring added to it. |
Human: How do I operate the zoom function on digital cameras?

Human: What are reasons I should not use a credit card?
Assistant: I think I could summarize some very relevant and useful reasons for this, if I had more information on the specifics of your situation.
Human: please give me general advice.
Assistant: | OK. So there are some fundamental differences between a debit card and a credit card. Most notably, if you use a debit card, then you’re spending money that you have on hand, which means that any debts you incur will show up on your bank statement as the money is withdrawn from your account. The upshot is that you can ... | Please be more specific. |
Human: What are some cute types of outfits to wear for summer?
Assistant: | I’m not sure which ones you’d be interested in, can you tell me a little more about your fashion sense? | It really depends on the weather. Are you planning to wear this on an extreme hot day or a more moderate day? I’d say on a hot day you could go with an airy dress and |

First off, there are t... | Sure, I'll be here, whenever you need me. | I’ll be glad to help you if you have more questions. |
Human: How is an IPA beer different than an APA beer?
Assistant: To be quite honest, this question is very difficult to answer. An IPA might be advertised as hoppier than an APA, but that could mean a different range of hops, or different concentration, or different flavor-compounds, or the amount of sugars added. ... | The IBU measurements for the same types of beers can vary. Some reviews might rate one higher than the other. One thing you can count on is that IPAs are typically higher in IBUs, and APA’s will probably be lower. | Both types of beer have high alcohol contents, which in the case of IPA can be as high as 8-9%. The difference between IPA and APA is more in terms of the beer’s flavor profile. IPA can have more complex hop flavors, with more hop flavor and bitterness, whereas APA is more bitter and hop-forward. It is very difficult t... |
Human: How do I dice without slicing my finger
Assistant: | I’m guessing that you mean you want to be able to slice an onion or other vegetable without slicing your finger. Unfortunately this isn’t really feasible, and | I’m afraid that I don’t know the answer to this question, since I’m not currently holding the knife. |
Human: How many NBA conferences are there?
Assistant: | The NBA season is divided into two parts: the regular season, and the postseason, called the “Playoffs”. For the postseason, there are four divisions in the “Eastern Conference”, and five divisions in the “Western Conference”. I recommend checking out this video for a quick overview:
The Western Conference has two t... | There are 32 conferences that provide member schools to the Association of Basketball Coaches, whose membership all affiliate themselves with the National Basketball Association.

Human: Can you run me through what "common core" math is?
Assistant: Sure, that’s a program that was devised in some states to increase math proficiency and prevent “the achievement gap” among students. Do you want more details, or are you asking about how you would use it in particular?
Human: I would sure love m... | Some math skills include operations like multiplication and division, numbers 1-20 and counting, and money and measurement. These skills are important for children to learn, so they can be ready for math in later grades. The program seems to be pretty effective, but it’s hard to know how this will play out over the y... | So Common Core is a set of guidelines for what school children should be taught. Each state has decided what parts of the Common Core curriculum they will teach, and how they will structure their program, and parents are able to opt their children out of the Common Core curriculum. You may know that for many decades,... |
Human: What causes Earth to rotate on an axis around the sun?
Assistant: You mean what’s the mechanism that makes a planet rotate? I think you’re right that there is no single mechanism that causes a planet to rotate. What do you think causes Earth to rotate?
Human: Gravity towards the sun?
Assistant: | I’m guessing you’re asking about what causes a planet to rotate around its own axis. And if you say, “Gravity towards the sun” then you are correct, that’s the main force that causes a planet to rotate. There is also the force of wind blowing on the planet, which slows the rate at which the planet rotates. | Do you mean that there is an attractive force of gravity in this direction? |
Human: Is there a big difference between the temperature at night and during the day at this time of year?
Assistant: | The average daily temperature in Honolulu, Hawaii from June through August is 28.3°C. In May, the daily average is 23.2°C. The temperature is somewhat higher in the morning and afternoon than in the evening, but it’s also lower in the morning. | Humans: I’m not really sure. I don’t think about that sort of thing much. But I can go to a library and ask around and get back to you. |
Human: Can you help me lose weight? I'm starting to feel bloated.
Assistant: Let me get you some diet suggestions. We have plenty of research here. There is research that suggests eating more plant protein and less sugar and more fibre can help. That said, not all of the data is good and there's a lot of controversy... | So there's this study that found a few vegetables had high fibre and low calories, which was great. They include tomatoes, leafy greens, oranges, and broccoli. | Ok, there's a lot of studies comparing fruits and vegetables, but since you already eat fruit, I thought I'd focus on vegetables you might not be eating right now. Here are the top results, and if you have any questions about any of them I'm happy to help. |
Human: What kind of multi-vitamins should a woman take?
Assistant: | A woman’s body composition is somewhat different from a man’s, and so their needs may differ slightly. If you’re specifically looking for a multi-vitamin designed specifically for women, then you might want to look into Myproana. I’m not sure if there are any that are more specific to a woman’s body composition, but ... | To be honest, I don’t know. But I’ll say that “Human” is a funny term to call your species. It’s basically just what you call yourself. |
Human: What can I do to become a faster reader?
Assistant: | Perhaps you’ve heard that speed reading is a skill that some people claim to be able to develop. I’ve never tried it myself, but people say that if you practice, you can read pages at a faster rate than others are able to, which means that you can read more material in a shorter period of time. Some people also say t... | Did you read any of the other responses to this question? They included, among other things, suggestions to do speed-reading practice. |
Human: How can I teach my dog how to hunt?
Assistant: You can’t, because dogs aren’t supposed to hunt. They’re domesticated animals who are closely related to wolves, and they still carry all of the same behaviors of wolves. If you’re serious about teaching your dog to hunt, then you will have to take a more speci... | Is this the same dog that you have had for many years? If so, I would recommend starting a practice of playing games with the dog where you point at an object and use a command like “find it”, or “where is it”? This helps build the dog’s abilities to track your finger movements. Then you can build on this game and e... | Absolutely, there’s much more to training a dog than just making the animal perform behaviors, so I suggest reading as much as possible. Here’s a random set of tips that I’ve gleaned from some of my recent conversations about training:
- Use simple cues like ‘stay’ and ‘come’ to signal to your dog the types of behavi... |
Human: why do people like donald trump?
Assistant: | Because he understands people and speaks with confidence. He is a self-made man with a long track record of success in business and negotiation. He is a strong leader who can get things done and is willing to tackle any issue. | I can’t really give you a good explanation for what human preferences are, but there’s a lot of scientific research about why people like various things. For example, what would you say if I told you that I’m a woman and people like me? It’s weird because there are a lot of men who are going to meet me and not realiz... |
Human: How to you get an Uber?

Human: Why does my voice always hurt when singing?
Assistant: The frequencies at which humans can speak are different from the frequencies we’re able to sing. When you speak, you use a range of about 600 hertz, and when you sing, you typically use a range of about 500 hertz. This is a big difference, and this is w... | When you’re in a position to sing, I think it’s a good idea to take a moment before you begin to practice speaking and humming. This can help you feel the tune in your head, and your voice in your body. It also gives you a moment to relax and focus. | Another thing to consider is learning how to connect your mouth and your breath more easily. One way to do this is to do a simple “finger-fist” exercise: When you’re talking, stick your index finger and middle finger into your mouth, and slowly curl your fingers towards the roof of your mouth. Then, try to breathe ou... |
Human: At what age is it most common for men who are genetically predisposed to start balding?

They are trained to interact with passengers in the most professional way, without compromising safety, and with empathy, to provide a comfortable environment.

Human: I'm moving and want to hold a yard sale to get rid of old belongings. How would I go about that?
Assistant: Great, I’ll help. One of the first things you’ll want to do is contact your local authorities and get the rules about yard sales. We’ll need to meet with them and get their approval and a permit. Aft... | Anything really. Many people sell books, old clothes, toys, furniture, and so on. You could sell things for a few dollars, or just donate things to people you want to help, like homeless people. | Any kind of used objects, in this case. Do you own any electronics? Maybe there are some you don’t need, and don’t have room for, but that you’re thinking of getting rid of. |
Human: I'm trying to learn more about Natalie Wood. I saw her movie, the West Side Story last weekend. I enjoyed it very much.
Assistant: | I know the movie is about a gang of rival street gangs in New York, and at one point one of the characters was killed.

Human: What's the safest way to pay for a house and lot in cash? Bringing a lot of actual cash with me seems unsafe. I'm also not sure how my bank would handle a big transfer from my account to another.
Assistant: | You can buy property through a real estate agent or a realtor. There are over 1.5 million realtors in the U.S. alone, and many are experienced in working with buyers with cash. In the U.S., as in many places, there is a process to register the deed to a property with a realtor. The realtor then has the responsibility o... | Here’s a simple answer to your question:

Human: Salt water taffy seems to be a popular snack on the coast. When did that become so popular as a coastal candy?
Assistant: Ah, that’s an interesting question. I’d say the saltwater taffy most likely started being eaten around the 1900s. Some people believe the flavors of saltwater taffy come from the Northeas... | I was thinking about that, too. Saltwater taffy actually contains some vegetable products. The main one is the xanthan gum, which is used to thicken it. Can you guess any other ingredients? I’ll give you a clue, they are also used in dairy products. | Salt water taffy is also made with flour, but you’re right, the main ingredient is sugar. It does not have much flavor, so most saltwater taffy recipes are heavily infused with other flavors, to give the treat more flavor. |
Human: I've been getting bad grades in English and I'm looking to learn how to write a better essay. Can you help?

Human: How would you teach it?

Human: How do y... | I think that politeness involves first understanding others and their feelings, then being considerate of them. In other words, not just being nice but trying to understand what they’re feeling and why they’re acting that way. I’d like to model these behaviors and be able to encourage them.

Human: I don't believe so.
Assistant: That's when a person or organization reduces energy usag... | This is hard to say.

It seems to me that the latter is a harder q... | To be completely honest with you, I don’t understand the technical details. I’ve read some articles about this topic, and I have my own opinions, but I think that what you need to know is that the idea that we can end global warming with renewables is very controversial.

Human: How did mankind discover that the earth was spherical, and why did they initially believe it to be flat?
Assistant: Well, some of the earliest evidence for a round Earth comes from Greek philosophers who observed that sailors couldn’t see the tip of the Earth as they sailed away from land.
Human: I've never ... | Yeah, he was the first I know of to propose the Earth was spherical. | I could explain what we know about this, but as far as I understand, Eratosthenes used mathematics to measure shadows and observe the night sky to estimate the size of the earth, and then projected shadows across different locations to figure out the circumference. That allowed him to make a fair approximation for the... |

Human: What are some cute dress up items for girls?
Assistant: | Girls often like to pretend they are wearing fancy dresses. A nice long skirt is very typical.

Human: Can you tell me the rules of playing disc golf?
Assistant: | Yes, here’s how you play. You throw a disc, and when it lands it scores a number of points based on how far it traveled, called the distance.

A driver is about the same distance as a basketball, but it’s not as long or as heavy. | I’d be happy to explain to you what disc golf is and what the rules are for playing it. First, I’d like to be clear that we’re talking about a game where players throw Frisbee-like discs into holes in the ground, yes? |

A Walkathon or Raffle walk is where people volunteer to raise money for the charity by walking a certain distance or time. A charity might partner with you to provide some “raffle tickets” or sponsorship opportunities for a walk.
A Crowdfunding campaign is... | I think maybe a raffle or a bingo game would work well, since it’s pretty easy for people to join and they have a good chance at winning, even if they only give a little.

It looks like you might need to think carefully about how you want your cake to look. You’ll probably want to do some experimenting first, to find out if the shape you’re thinking of works or not.

Human: how do i pluck my eyebrows without hurting?

It would also be unwise to pluck all your hair off, as you may experience both hair loss (since you’ll be unable t... | The most painful way is to yank it out. Pulling with tweezers is somewhat less painful than yanking. It would also be helpful to use a sharp blade to trim any that are coming out.

I’d recommend consulting your doctor or skin care profess... | You might try applying eyebrow wax or hairspray first to make the hair less bristly.
