In the United States fruit cake didn’t become widespread until after World War I, and it wasn’t long before people started making their own “fruit cake mix”. This mix was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and continued to be popular into the 1970s. Fruit cake was very popular at Christmas time, but by the 1970s a new interest in lighter desserts like angel food cake had people opting for less heavy cakes. In the 2000s however, people’s tastes began to change, and it was this way that fruit cake regained its popularity. The main way it differs from old-fashioned fruit cakes is that it’s made with non-candied fruits and has lighter, more airy texture, making it easier to eat.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Let’s go through the steps for each:\n\nWindows 10:\n If you use Windows 10, click the Start button, type “Reset this PC”, and then click the link in the search results to get started. Windows 10 will then guide you through the process step-by-step.\nWindows 8 and 8.1:\n If you have Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, start at the desktop and swipe in from either the right or left side, and select Settings from the Quick Action menu. Then go to Update & recovery, then Recovery, then Go back to the previous version of Windows, and then click Get Started.\nWindows 7 and Vista:\nIf you use Windows 7 or Windows Vista, go into Control Panel, click System and Security, and select Restore your computer to an earlier time near the top.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Use the arrow keys to select “Restart,” then press enter. When you see the factory reset screen, select the option that says “Clean” or “Factory Reset.”\nFor a Settings factory reset, go to the Settings app and select General > Reset. From here, you can either choose System Restore to perform a limited factory reset (restores only your device settings and files, folders and apps) or Erase All Content and Settings (resets all your device data. We recommend using this option if a limited factory reset wasn’t sufficient.)\nAfter this is completed, you can plug in your device to reinstall apps and files from your backup.

[ { "content": "What are funny sidekicks from movies?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "I think this question has a lot of possible answers. Here are some possibilities:\n\nIn a very broad sense, “sidekicks” are characters that share the protagonist’s goal, but who don’t have the protagonist’s skill or talent in a particular area. In many movies, the sidekick is an adolescent, while the main character is usually an adult, though exceptions can be found, such as the subversion of this trope in the Monty Python film “The Holy Grail”. Sidekicks provide humor, and also help the hero accomplish his or her goals. The best examples are often an older person paired with a young person. \nThere are two excellent movies where this concept of “two people with different skills, yet complementary goals” is highlighted. One is the Indiana Jones series, where Indiana is usually outmatched by the historical antagonists, but never more so than when his sidekick is taken out of action. The other is the Mission: Impossible series, where the lead character must tackle difficult missions and overcome deadly opponents, but rarely has a full grasp of all the facts that his sidekick does. One of the best examples of this in this series is the season three episode “Someone to Watch", "role": "assistant" } ]

It’s not an easy question to answer, so here are some specific factors to consider when deciding which city to visit. First of all, the political situation in Mexico has been unstable and dangerous in the last few years, and the Mexican government recommends that US visitors avoid traveling to some parts of the country. That said, you can still travel to Mexico safely, as long as you follow the official guidance and stay vigilant about your surroundings and circumstances. Regardless of which city you visit, it is crucial to exercise caution and don’t put yourself in dangerous situations or go to areas that are considered high crime. In terms of which city you choose to visit, if you’re looking for a large city, Mexico City might be interesting to you, but avoid areas that are known to be dangerous. Alternatively, some people prefer to visit the beautiful beaches and mountains of Guadalajara in western Mexico. Finally, if you’re looking for nightlife, touristy shopping, and interesting cultural experiences, you might like the city of Tijuana in northern Mexico, but again, you should also exercise caution in this area too.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Here we go: \n\n- Frances Stewart (1647–1713) was an English poet and political writer, active during the Restoration and early days of the reign of King James II.\n- Stewart was born and raised in Yorkshire, and was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. She was a well-educated woman and became a familiar figure in London society, enjoying the patronage of aristocratic and political elite. Through her social connections she became active in political writing, penning many anonymously published pamphlets promoting the political interests of King James II.\n- Stewart married a wealthy landowner, who eventually became the country squire of an estate in Oxfordshire, and together they had several children. Stewart enjoyed a life of relative leisure as a society woman and political author, although her birthplace of Yorkshire was frequently ravaged by warfare and political upheaval during the period. \n\n- Frances Stewart died in 1713, and was buried at her home in Oxfordshire. Her literary works are mostly forgotten today, although some of her poetry has been recovered and reprinted by modern scholars. Her political writings, however, have endured as interesting examples of passionate expression from a woman of the elite", "role": "assistant" } ]

Driving too fast in snow can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.\n• The most important things are traction and stopping. Make sure your tires have at least a depth of 3⁄4 inch of tread or more so they can grip, and test your brakes at least once a year.\n• It’s better to buy winter tires with special knobs that can dig into the snow and ice, and have more traction than regular tires.\n• Don’t use cruise control. While it can save you the hassle of constantly accelerating and braking, it can also lower your ability to drive in snow.\n• In difficult conditions, decrease your brake and accelerator pressure to prevent the tires from spinning and failing to gain traction.\n• If possible, wash spinning surfaces on your vehicle, removing any snow, ice, or salt with ridging tools.\n•", "role": "assistant" } ]

If your vehicle does start to skid, do what you can to control it and regain control. You can take care of your tires by checking them regularly to make sure they have enough traction on the road. If you can’t avoid driving in icy conditions, you should also steer to the center of the road to avoid any snow drifts.", "role": "assistant" } ]
