If you put salt on the driveway or walkways, it will melt the snow more quickly, making it easier for you to move your car around, and to clear off the driveway and walkways.

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Why do humans have extra teeth in their \"wisdom teeth\" that often have to be removed?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The wisdom teeth are third molars, and they usually grow towards the back of the mouth, between the other molars. They’re often impacted and have to be removed. People are different, and most people who have their wisdom teeth removed have no serious complications, but there’s a small minority who do have complications. \nThey have to be removed when they begin to cause pain and/or problems chewing food, so they can be removed before they cause serious problems. Why they’re there, and why they develop at certain times, is unknown. I’d also note that a smaller percentage of people just never grow wisdom teeth at all." }, { "role": "user", "content": "But why do they become impacted? Why did that happen over the course of evolution, that we began having impacted bones?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "This is a common question, and there’s probably no one definitive answer. Some think there was an advantage in having more teeth for our ancestors, or that extra teeth allowed us to use our mouths in different ways. My own theory is that they’re just a case of natural selection not being so good at dealing with perfect forms - having more teeth let us eat more things, and so there’s some evolutionary advantage, but because we’ve got other ways of dealing with imperfect or partially formed teeth, we’re not as good at dealing with extra ones. So, we end up with extra wisdom teeth that often get impacted. Of course this is just my own speculation, and there’s no clear answer." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Why do old men usually have very big noses compared to when they were younger?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "This is actually a fascinating question. Your nose’s size is largely genetically determined, and an important factor for this is whether or not you have a “long” or “short” nasal spine. The bone that runs across the top of your nose is also known as a “nasal spine”. For some people, like you, your nasal spine can be short, which means that it will widen with age. The wider the nasal spine, the longer the nose grows. On the other hand, if the nasal spine is long, the nose will get smaller as you get older, not larger." }, { "role": "user", "content": "So our noses never stop growing?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, that’s actually not true, although they can continue to grow for a while. Your nasal spine’s length is mostly determined at the time of birth. By the time you’re an adult, your nose will mostly be done growing. However, your facial structure can still undergo changes as you age, and this can sometimes include increasing or decreasing the size of your nose. If you’re unlucky, for example, you can develop a deviated septum in your nose, which can block your nasal airways. This can cause you to snore at night, which is bad because you don’t get the sleep you need. If your nasal passages aren’t getting the blood flow that they need, they may get less able to absorb the oxygen that you need to breathe properly. Fortunately, this is a fairly uncommon condition." } ]

Russets have a high starch content, which is what makes them ideal for producing crispy potato chips. Russets are also low in moisture, minimizing the amount of oil required to fry the chips. In the store, russet potatoes also tend to be less expensive than other varieties. If you’re looking for the highest quality and most authentic potato chips, a russet potato is an excellent choice." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Ok. And how exactly do make potato chips? Just cut them up into thin slices and then bake them?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, this is a pretty classic method for making homemade potato chips. First you cut the potatoes into thin slices, then you toss the slices with some salt, and bake them in the oven until they are crispy. The key to getting good results is to cut the potatoes into thin and even slices, and to bake them for the appropriate amount of time until they achieve the desired crispness. Proper seasoning is also very important, as the salt acts to draw out moisture and increase crispiness. Be sure to season the potatoes generously, and don't skimp on the salt - you want a nice crispy salty chip!" } ]

However, there are a few volcanic eruptions that do stand out for their great size. Very large eruptions occur under about 1% of all known volcanoes, and such events are known as “super eruptions”. Probably the most famous of these large super eruptions was from the 18th century volcano in Mount Tambora, Indonesia. Mount Tambora is a strato-volcano, which means it is the most explosive type of volcano, known for high- Plinian eruptions. The largest of these types of eruptions we know about is the Tambora eruption, which occurred in April of 1815, and is estimated to have spewed over 500 cubic kilometers of ash into the air -- this equals about 16 times the volume of the Mount Saint Helens eruption in May 1980.

Of course, not all of these casualties were actually caused by the eruption -- a large number of deaths also resulted from landslides, floods, and lahars (rivers of mud flows) caused by the eruption. Most deaths resulted from a volcanic air-blast. This is a phenomenon where a very fast moving jet of hot air erupts out of the boundary between the volcano’s magma and the surrounding air. This can result in hot air moving at hundreds of meters per second, with wind speeds of up to 400 km/h. Wind speeds this fast were powerful enough to topple many trees, knocking off their branches. This caused many deaths, as the branches would then hit others nearby. Because of the significance of this eruption in history, the exact number of casualties is hard to pin down. The estimated figures mentioned here are from a number of scientific papers and reports that have been written on the eruption, and most estimates place the number of casualties in the tens of thousands." }, { "role": "user", "content": "What are some of the largest eruptions in the last 100 years?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "There have been a number of large pyroclastic eruptions in the last 100 years, especially in the historic period. The biggest epoch of volcanic activity worldwide in modern history was during the 20thcentury, with about 1900 volcanic eruptions occurring between 1900 and 2000. Perhaps the most well-known recent volcanic explosions were those from Mount Saint Helens in June 1980. This event spewed at least 57 megatons of TNT (5 times larger than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945) and caused over 1900 casualties through a large lahar. The eruption from this large stratovolcano was caused by an injection of fresh magma underneath its existing edifice, which resulted in the explosive lateral collapse of its northern flanks. Another example of significant activity was the eruption from Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, which occurred in December 1949. This eruption resulted in flows of lava as far as 20 kilometers from the site of the eruption, covering more than 1000 acres (400 hectares) of farmland with several meters of lava. Most recently, one of the larger eruptions occurred in 2014 when Mount Sinabung volcanically erupted on a remote Indonesian" } ]

One benefit of encouragement is that it helps you stick to a more realistic, modest goal for a child. Many parents are all too willing to praise a child for every small thing they do well, which can make the child expect to be constantly praised and supported, and can set them up for failure if they aren’t met with praise every time. Using encouragement also helps the parent recognize the child’s accomplishments while not putting too much pressure on them, which can help everyone stay more relaxed and supported. Another benefit of encouragement is that it helps you acknowledge your child for something they are doing well, and also helps you work together as a team with your child towards a shared goal. This kind of encouragement can help you both stay motivated and also help the child stay motivated towards their goals. Finally, encouragement can help you stay positive and supportive with your child, which can help everyone stay connected and feel supported." } ]

I'd like to offer a few suggestions for you. First I suggest trying the following: a mild detergent, cold water and gentle rubbing.

If you believe you are washing your clothes correctly according to the care instructions (and doing this at the recommended temperatures) please double check that your clothes are all properly dried afterwards, or they may be ruined by a build-up of condensation in the washing process. Also please make sure you're not mixing correct detergents with incorrect washing machines, as this can cause damage and added difficulty in cleaning your clothing. Are there any improvements or further steps you can try, based on these suggestions, that feel easier for you or are more straightforward? If you're still struggling after these steps I'd be happy to discuss options and next steps with you further; let me know if I can help, and I will do my best to assist you. I deeply regret" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Can wearing heels for too long damage your feet?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, this is definitely true, and especially true if you are wearing high heels. Your feet take a lot of stress when you wear high heels, and this can cause all sorts of problems with them: blisters on your heels and toes, increased risk of plantar fasciitis problems, problems with your Achilles tendons, and many other ailments. Often people adjust more slowly to wearing high heels than they’d expect, and this could be because it takes time for the muscles in your feet to strengthen in order to support these shoes. The best thing to do if you wear high heels to get used to them slowly, try to find comfortable high heels, and only wear them if they actually provide some benefit, such as heightening your confidence or making you feel more attractive if you’ve chosen your shoes carefully." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Is that why my ankles gave out after wearing heels for a long time?

The best treatment for these problems is to avoid wearing high heels if you can, and if you choose to wear heels often, you should wear comfortable heels, and only wear them for as long as necessary." } ]

There are many reasons to teach your child to read, including the ability to access and decode all the incredible information and culture that’s out there in the world, the enjoyment of literature and stories, and of course the economic benefits and long-term employment possibilities of literacy. \n\nBut there are many theories and opinions about the optimal age to begin learning to read. Some theories suggest reading should be delayed, such as the “wait until seven” theory, in which the recommendation is to not introduce children to letters and reading before the age of 7. Others argue reading should be started much earlier, even as early as pre-school. Finally, there are the meta-theories about when and how to read to children, such as the “response-to-literature” approach, which argues reading should be actively used to help children develop as thinking and feeling human beings. \n\nThat’s a lot to unpack here," }, { "role": "user", "content": "I thought the earlier you speak and read to them, the better for their brain development? I just want an estimate to when I should start teaching my child to read." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Great question! The US department of education has guidelines for when children should be introduced to books, such as starting between 6 and 7 years old. However, these guidelines are for kids starting school at 4 or 5 years old, so that they’re “ready”. There is less clarity about the optimal age to start learning to read, for non-school children, and even less on how to do so. So, the thing to remember is that there is no perfect “ideal” age. You can either choose a time that is based on research, or you can choose to allow your child to experience his own interests, and begin when he is ready." } ]
