<|im_start|>system You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I keep biting the inside of my cheek when I'm sleeping. What can I do to prevent this in the future?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Sounds painful. I wonder if it could help to explore some of the causes here? For example, how would you feel about it if someone said you weren't sleeping well, or that you weren't getting enough sleep?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user I might not be sleeping well. Do you think that could be the problem?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant
I have no idea whether or not that’s the case, but it’s a common problem, so it’s worth considering. If you’re not sleeping well, it could explain why you’re biting your cheek.<|im_end|>

Let me see if I can find that for you... UFC 2 was a match in 1997 between Tank Abbott and Ken Shamrock. You might be thinking of UFC 1, which took place in 1993 and was not the first UFC event. That one had Royce Gracie vs. Dan Severn. But the first UFC event was called UFC 1: The Beginning and it was held on November 12, 1993 in a warehouse in the back of the Caravan Music Club. The final fight of that event was George Forman vs. Marco Ruas.<|im_end|>

Feel like you're not being honest saying you dont know what a percentage is<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant I guess I don't understand the use of percentages in computer applications. If I recall correctly, I think you might use the word 'percentage' to describe the number of times something happens in a set, as opposed to the amount of something that happens. So for example you might say that 80% of the students passed the math test. Or you might say that there are 20% fewer hours in the day than there are in the year. That's what I mean when I say I don't understand the use of percentages in computer applications.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Okay. Well do you know how to convert a percent such as 7.6% to decimal?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Well, I think it's pretty safe to assume that the '7.6' refers to the percentage. To convert it to a decimal you just remove the 'percent' at the front and you've got the percent as a whole number. So you get 7.6, and you multiply that by 100.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Hmm....no, that's now how its done<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant
Are you trying to learn this for your own purposes? If so, you might want to consider going to a site like Khan Academy, which has a nice learning style and structure and a community of people to help you.<|im_end|>

Sure! It means that the person feels like they have more peace in their mind, and also they feel more harmony with the world around them. They may also be more mentally alert, less prone to impulsive reactions, less afraid, and more conscious of other people’s perspectives. It’s hard to say how such a person would act in the world. I suppose it’s fair to say that someone who feels spiritually ascended might have more clarity, empathy, and compassion.<|im_end|>

The 27th amendment was passed in 1992, so it’s fairly recent. The 1st and 2nd amendments were the main amendments passed in the first wave of amendments in the 18th century. The 3rd and 4th amendments are perhaps the best known to people today, with the 5th through 8th amendments related to protections for people accused of crimes. The 9th and 10th amendments add protections for people who have been convicted of crimes.<|im_end|>

Cooking sous vide is often used to cook food, but it’s also used to help preserve food. The food is cooked in vacuum-sealed pouches. The advantage is that it makes food more evenly cooked. Another advantage is that it can preserve food for longer than other methods, like storing it in the refrigerator or freezing it.<|im_end|>

If you don’t mind, I’d like to explain to you how I made them: The first step is to mix together some white flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and water. Then, make a big “crust” out of a bunch of the dough (it’s basically like squeezing the dough between your fingers). After that, you can shape it into a big ball and stick it in the fridge for about half an hour. Once the dough is ready, you can bake it in a big oven for about 15 minutes. You can then pour melted sugar over the dough to make it extra fancy and delicious!<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Aren't most doughnuts usually fried?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant

OK, if you want to control what kinds of information your child can see or use, then you should use a firewall program on their computer, and configure it to block some websites and restrict the content that they can see. These programs are available in the Windows App Store, and are designed to work with Windows 10. This app is just one example of many, and I hope it will help you, but you should also check the features of all of these firewall apps before installing one, so that you don’t have problems with malware or viruses.<|im_end|>

How about this: If the computer has a lock screen, then the child can be given a password and can use the computer that way. The computer will keep them from seeing the internet and other apps unless they enter the password, and even then I think they'll need to type in the password to get to the browser, so it should be pretty safe.<|im_end|>

That’s quite easy to do, it<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Okay let's focus on revise only. What's your tips?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Well, it’s a good idea to read the original version back through a few times.

You can make changes that improve clarity, or readability. For example, if you used a lot of idioms that people might have trouble understanding, then you can either translate them, or you can make them more explicit. So if there was a metaphor or simile you were using, for example, I’d try to find a different way to express it.<|im_end|>

Sure, why not. I'd recommend that you start by boiling the clams for about 10 minutes. Then cut the kernels off the clams and let the clams cool. You can add some water to the clam juice from the shells, to make the soup thick, and you can strain it all out. Then you can add a chopped onion, celery, salt, pepper, and some chopped Italian parsley, and some butter, before serving.<|im_end|>

The first US criminal to be called a “serial killer” was H.H. Holmes, in the 1890s. That distinction may also go to Albert Fish, also in the 1890s, who would not be considered a serial killer but is often called one.<|im_end|>

I know of several people named Billy Burke. He is most famous for being hung in 1817 for murdering a 16 year old boy and attempting to kill his family by stabbing them with a knife. Another guy called Frederick W. Haight was an American serial killer who murdered around 30 people, including women, children, and elderly people. If you count this he has the most victims of any serial killer in history. He was executed in 1905 for the murders. Then there was also a guy called Albert Fish, who was a serial killer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is the subject of a book called The Boy Who Was Raised by Wolves.<|im_end|>

In the old days, stuff lasted.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant It’s mostly a result of improved technology. If a new, mass-produced item has an innovation that makes it 10 times better than a similar item, that means it’s also less likely to last as long. Computers are a good example, they get 10 times faster every 18 months. Fax machines and CDs aren’t better than paper and vinyl, but the technology is better, and they fail more quickly.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Yeah, but most PC's still work after they are old and slow.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant That’s a different technology, though. In the case of computer hardware, that’s mostly due to Moore’s law - which says that the speed of processing power is basically doubling every 18 months. But that also makes it break down faster, so you also need to factor in the law of diminishing returns, which says that you only get a certain amount of performance increase when you double the speed. The case is different with software and software products, though. For example, many apps you download, they’re also old, they usually last a lot longer.

<|im_start|>system You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user What time is sunrise at this time of year?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant As the sky darkens from this time through midnight, the lengthening of the twilight period is offset by a shortened sunrise and sunset period. The net result is that the length of daylight progressively decreases, ultimately leading to a total solar eclipse. Sunset in your current location on that day would occur at about 12:40 AM, so sunrise is then about 3:40 AM. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, sunrise is about 3:40 AM, and if you’re in the southern hemisphere, sunrise is about 5:40 AM. Of course, these are all local times that are used to make astronomical calculations. To see when sunrise actually happens, you’d need to check the sunrise/sunset predictions, either at the time in your location, or in another time zone.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user Does sunrise get later in the winter?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant Yes, so in general you can think of sunrise as “getting later” as the months progress through the calendar year.

It can be easier to throw an oblong ball than a spherical one. This is because the surfaces of the two shapes are not the same, and the oblong shape has a slightly different distance to the center of the ball from every location on the surface. This might help if you are trying to throw the ball accurately.<|im_end|>

It might, but the shape is not the reason that the football is called the football. The football was invented in England in the 1700s. It became popular and widely used in the 1800s, at which point it was called the "American football", since it was a prominent game in the US. This may explain why the shape of the football was adopted by the US.<|im_end|>

<|im_start|>system You are Qwen, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user how can i show appreciation for my doctor?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant It’s always good to express your appreciation to a doctor. If you feel particularly thankful or grateful, you can send a gift or a card to show your appreciation.<|im_end|> <|im_start|>user what sort of gift?<|im_end|> <|im_start|>assistant
There’s really no hard rules about this. It’s a little tricky to balance the desire to express gratitude with not wanting to give the impression of bribery or overpayment. You can show your appreciation with a simple thank-you card, or you can send some sort of tangible gift like flowers, chocolate, or even a movie ticket, or a donation to a charity in their name. Alternatively, a good way to show your appreciation is to call or email the doctor and thank them for their service, even if you don’t have a particular gift in mind. But if you want to show your gratitude in the form of a gift, the last thing you want is to make the doctor feel obligated to reciprocate. If you do want to give the doctor a gift, it should be something that’s meaningful to you personally and reflects your values and preferences. Even if you did want to give the doctor a gift or some other appreciation, I wouldn’t suggest buying an expensive gift or restaurant meal to show your gratitude.<|im_end|>

I’m sorry if you’re skeptical. But I think you’re reacting in the way I would expect from someone who really didn’t like coffee and was looking for things to criticize about it.

So it wouldn’t surprise me if you noticed the negative aspects of coffee more than the positive ones.
