Prompt: How many trees would have to be planted to capture all of the CO2 in the atmosphere? Assistant:

This seems to be a joke, like “How many hours is a million years?” Or “How long is a million seconds?”  In fact, the answer to this is a lot more than “one”, but less than “infinity”.  The answer can be roughly calculated by noting that CO2 makes up about 0.04% of the total air mass.  So you could plant so many trees as to capture all the CO2 in the atmosphere by covering a roughly 1 acre of land with a tree that is about as tall as the Eiffel tower.

Prompt: What happened to the space shuttle Challenger? Why did it blow up? Assistant:

A freak accident on the launchpad led to the failure of one of the Shuttle’s main boosters, causing the Shuttle to break apart during flight.  One main reason for the failure is thought to have been the use of rubber O-ring seals, which in some conditions were unable to withstand the high pressure and temperature of the rocket boosters.  The loss of the Shuttle was a major blow to the American space program, and it was many years before a new crew-capable Shuttle was put into service.

Can you clarify what you mean by a “ball pit”?  I can tell you how to make a body of water in the form of a bowl, and an animated map on a screen, but I don’t know how to make a material made of many little plastic balls.  If you’d like a general strategy for building various kinds of animated maps and platforms on screen, I could explain that.

Prompt: Can you give me some techniques to help deal with difficult people? Assistant:

The quick answer is: remember that you can always withdraw from the situation, or simply walk away.  An even quicker answer is: “Next” -- if the behavior is so disturbing that it’s unbearable, simply end the interaction and ignore the person.  A human may not want to ignore a difficult person, but simply recognizing and accepting the power of your options can help you feel a lot better about these kinds of situations.

That’s up to you!  Leaves do decompose, and if they were buried they might even help your soil.  But they also can make your lawn look messy, and might be an allergen.  So if you want, you could compost them, or spread them out on a layer of dirt, or add them to a leaf mulch pile, or let them be eaten by bugs and worms.


Prompt: is saline solution useful for when i'm sick? Assistant:

As you probably know, most medications are developed using human subjects for testing. But, the FDA believes that there is a lack of oversight of the safety and effectiveness of medications that have been tested on animals. So human subjects are only used to help determine the efficacy and safety of medications that are intended to treat animals. While we have lots of animal test subjects to test new medications on, humans are in short supply, so tests

It’s important to follow some basic rules of safe jewelry cleaning, such as using only low heat settings.

Prompt: How do I increase milk production? I'm breastfeeding. Assistant:

Sure, it’s a Filipino dish that you’ll find in Filipino homes and restaurants.   Tinolang Manok is chicken and egg stew with coconut milk.   You’ll start by marinating chicken for a few hours.   Next you’ll add tomatoes, onion, garlic, and carrots and stir it all together.   Then you’ll add salt, ginger, and soy sauce.   Let this cook for a couple of hours and then add the coconut milk.


Prompt: I have a problem with moths putting holes in the sweaters. How can I protect my wool from moths? Assistant:

In the old days, moth-proofing was done by dusting the wool with starch or rice powder, or by washing the wool in a solution of boric acid or borax. But today, fabric-care labels recommend no special treatment. Moths can’t eat wool directly, so the main way they damage clothes is by getting their feet tangled up in the wool, which they then chew off to get free. Since the larvae eat the wool, they often damage the fabric when eating. So a wool sweater that was treated with borax or starch might still have holes, but it might also have ragged edges.


Prompt: How can I get all the amino acids I need if I'm a vegan? Assistant:

It depends on your definition of a vegan diet. There is no official definition for what qualifies as a vegan diet and how you’re supposed to get all the amino acids you need, so you’ll need to decide for yourself what you consider to be a vegan diet.
That said, all vegan diets contain protein, and I can help you find protein in foods that are considered vegan.


Prompt: How do you get a child to do homework? Assistant:

There are many strategies, but you can try asking them why they should do it. Ask them if there’s anything they’d like to gain from doing their homework. Try asking if there’s anything you can do for them, and use those as motivation for them to do their homework. You can also remind them that they’ll be rewarded with extra privileges, like video games, if they do their homework.  Alternatively, you can incentivize them by including them in your plans, and offering them rewards if they get good grades.

These cost about 20 dollars, and you can find them at some of the larger supermarkets.

The Salvation Army also coordinates a hotline where people can get information on local services and connect to other organizations for help.  It’s also been a major provider of disaster relief in the past, helping people with medical care and recovery in natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.

There are many watermelon farms around the world.


Prompt: Why have computer parts been so expensive lately? Assistant:

I believe it is because more and more people around the world are buying and using personal computers. The total number of personal computers sold each year is more than ten times what it was ten years ago, so the number of new parts needed each year is also ten times as large. But computers themselves are still relatively expensive, because computers have been around for a long time and computers are very useful, so people are still willing to pay quite a lot of money to own a new personal computer.

That depends on why you can't.  If you're not breastfeeding because you need to wean your baby, that's really common and not something you should feel guilty about. If your baby isn't taking your milk, you can try feeding from a bottle or pumping, which can be really helpful to you.


Prompt: Was considering a light hearted Oscar winning movie to watch this weekend. Any suggestions? Assistant:

Well, there’s of course The Artist, which is charming, witty, and heartwarming.  A few more recent options would be The Grand Budapest Hotel, a comedy which is full of bright, clever characters.  And Inside Llewyn Davis is full of humanity, and is reminiscent of classic Coen Brothers films, like Fargo.

The first camera was made by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1825, and his camera was still around twenty years later when the Daguerreotype was invented.  The daguerreotype did not need a lens, so this was a huge step forward, and the photographs it produced were much clearer.

Prompt: Where does Jambalaya originate? Assistant:

Louisiana.  It is a type of stew containing beef or pork and rice cooked together with vegetables, and served with a creamy sauce, or gravy.  It is eaten especially on Mondays in Louisiana because, according to a tradition at New Orleans restaurants, all the dishes were out of the kitchen before church, and the head cooks had to make something quickly.  Since the "new" recipe for Jambalaya, a combination of sauteed vegetables and rice, was given to the cooks of Galatoire’s restaurant in the late 19th century, it has become a standard part of American cuisine.

Great question.  To potty train a puppy, you first need to be willing to spend several hours a day training him, teaching him how to use a potty, and rewarding him when he’s successfully potty trained.  It may take several weeks or months, and it’s better to start training as early as possible, when the puppy is still a young.  He will be much easier to train when he’s young, because he’s still young enough to listen and to be easily impressed.


Prompt: My older brother keeps telling people his favourite number is 69 Assistant:


Prompt: How should I inspect a used car before I buy it? Assistant:

It depends on what you’re looking for. If you want to buy a car and drive it a lot, then you want to inspect the car for mechanical issues and listen to the car’s engine for any noises that shouldn’t be there.  If you just want to buy a cheap car and sit in it and look at it, you’ll want to give the outside of the car a good inspection to make sure it doesn’t have a lot of dents or other cosmetic issues.  Are you interested in buying a specific car, or just picking up any car for sale?

For example, when I think of a blue marble, it helps me to consider how it might look like to someone who lives on the surface of a black hole, and therefore knows nothing about light and space.
