### Instruction:
how about a good recipe for tacos?
### Response:
| Sure! Tacos are a versatile meal and a really popular one. You can stuff them with any kind of ingredient you like, and there are lots of different ways to make them. Here are a few popular options:
- taco bowl - this is just ground beef (or meat of your choice) wrapped in tortillas and baked.
- quesadilla - tortillas with your filling (ground beef, vegetables, cheese, etc.) with cheese on top. The Spanish make this popular dish, where they put it in the oven and then put a top of soft bread on top before serving.
- salad taco - typically you use a crunchy salad as the filling, but you can also use soup or diced veggies. This is often served in a salad bar, or on a plate of lettuce leaves, and also can be put in tortillas.
- nachos - tortilla chips, loaded with meat, beans, or whatever you want. Sometimes you pour cheese sauce over this. The most traditional of all tacos, and has been made in the USA for over 100 years.
- some kind of taco salad - in this case you have a big bowl,

I'm trying to make my text more clear. Clear like Hemingway would write it. Let me show you an example of what I mean:
Before: The cat was chased by the dog. It had no significant idea of th origin of the dog's motivation to hunt it. The cat also thought of itself as innocent.
After: The dog chased the cat. The cat, who found itself innocent, didn't know why the dog chased it.
Before: It's kind of interesting how computers are stuck in the old hum hum drum drum of the past. Most text editors are still like typewriters, or, at best, those electrical typewriters from the 80ies where you had almost like a throne for writing, drafing on a screen and then printing.
### Response:
| I can understand why you're looking to improve your writing style, and I don't mean to criticize your work here, but I would actually suggest that the following reads a lot better:

Can you make soda at home?
### Response:
| Sure, it’s actually really easy to make your own soda. You just need some carbonated water, some sweetener (like sugar or agave nectar), and some flavorings (like spices or herbs, or a drop or two of citrus or vinegar). You can start with a bottled soda like cola, or you can make your own mixture. To make your own mixture, you’ll want to put some sweetener in a bowl, add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar, and a few drops of citrus or spice extract (like vanilla, or cinnamon, or whatever you like), and mix them together. Then you’ll want to pour in some carbonated water, and stir until the mixture is combined. Pour it into a bottle or jar, and keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the flavors mix. You can shake it well before serving, if you want a more uniform mixture.
So you’ll want to start with a large glass pitcher, or a mason jar, and add your sweetener mixture, followed by your carbonated water, and stir until combined. Be sure you get the consistency right, you want it to be kind of like a heavy

### Instruction:
There was a notice posted in the player locker room at TPC Sawgrass: “Every shot will be captured and transmitted live this week through enhanced coverage on PGA Tour Live/ESPN+, Golf Channel and NBC.”
Late Monday, as officials raced to complete the weather-delayed Players Championship, that enhanced exposure provided a rare moment of awkward drama.
Daniel Berger was 7 under and within four shots of the lead when his second shot at the par-5 16th hole sailed hopelessly right and into a water hazard. What transpired afterward was a contentious exchange that unfolded on live television.
Viktor Hovland, who was paired with Berger, immediately pushed back on Berger’s attempted drop just short of the green. “I don’t think it crossed up there,” Hovland said. “I’m sure they’ve got it on camera. We can take a look.”
“You can call a rules official and a camera,” Berger countered.
Joel Dahmen, the third member of the group, agreed with Hovland and a surprisingly heated debate ensued.
“I’m not going to take a drop that I don’t feel 100% correct about. I’m not saying it’s all the way up there [by the green], but it’s not back there [motioning toward the spot Dahmen and Hovland were contending his golf ball crossed into the hazard],” Berger argued.
Can you summarize this into 2 bullet points please?
### Response:
| Yes! It’s really easy, actually.
1. A golf player dropped a ball in a water hazard when he thought it was in the sand, and other players disagreed.
2. A rules official was called to make a ruling on whether or not the player should be penalized.

How long do apples last after they are picked from the tree?
### Response:
| Apples stay fresh on the tree for a few weeks, but they are usually picked and sold fairly soon after being picked. They are stored in cool, dry conditions and they will keep fresh for about a few weeks once they’re picked. In some cases, you might see them sold a bit longer than that, and in other cases, you might see them sold a bit sooner than that. So, if you buy apples that are still on the tree, they will keep fresh for several weeks. But once they’re picked from the tree, they will keep fresh for about a month. They will continue to brown if stored at room temperature, so you might

What is the correct way to write a check?
### Response:
| A check is a piece of paper you can write your name on and ask a bank to pay some amount of money to a particular person or company. That said, different people use different formats for writing checks, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a blank check with “Personal Check” written in the top-left corner. There are two standard formats, so we’d probably say it’s “not entirely wrong” for a check to have either of those.

Given this text about Battlefield 3 on Wikipedia, what was the included classes you could play as in the game?
Battlefield 3's multiplayer matches see players take on one of four roles: Assault, Support, Engineer and Recon. The Assault class focuses on assault rifles and healing teammates. The Support class focuses on light machine guns and supplying ammunition. The Engineer class focuses on supporting and destroying vehicles. The Recon class focuses on sniping and spotting enemies. The mechanics of the weapons have been changed to utilize the new engine: compatible weapons may have bipods attached which can then be deployed when in the prone position or near suitable scenery, and provide a significant boost to accuracy and recoil reduction. Suppressive fire from weapons blurs the vision and reduces the accuracy of those under fire, as well as health regeneration.[12][13] The Recon class can put a radio beacon anywhere on the map and all squad members will be able to spawn on the location of the beacon.[14]
### Response:
| In Battlefield 3 you could play as one of four classes: Support, Assault, Engineer, and Recon. They all had different equipment and capabilities. |

Write a short narrative about a pet dog being adopted by a family.
### Response:
| I think a good narrative focusing on a family adopting a pet dog would include the following elements:
-an introduction to the dog and the family
-the circumstances of the adoption
-the emotional impact of the adoption on the family
-positive and negative situations related to the adoption
-ultimately a happy ending for the family and the dog.
The narrative could begin with some descriptive elements about the dog, for example its breed, size, color, and temperament, as well as some similar descriptive elements about the family, for example their age range, economic level, and other relevant demographics. The narrative could then describe the circumstances of the adoption, perhaps including some details about the previous situation of the dog, for example if it was a stray, or abandoned by its previous owners. The narrative could then describe the emotional impact of adopting the dog on the family, such as how the dog has positively bonded with the family members, or how the dog has helped someone in the family improve their emotional state. It would be good to include a variety of positive and negative situations related to the adoption of the dog, such as the

### Instruction:
Do you know if there is much difference between cage-free eggs and regular ones? Why are the cage-free more expensive?
### Response:
| Cage-free eggs are a term for eggs produced by hens that are not kept in cages. The vast majority of eggs used in the US and most other countries are “caged” in large farms, which typically include tens of thousands of hens packed into a single building. Often, these hens are unable to stretch their wings or move around freely, and live in cages where they can’t even spread their wings and fly if they wanted to. They also can’t see the sky, and most can’t even see each other.
There is significant evidence that hens raised in cages have lower mental health and lower production of eggs. It is not unusual for a hen to live the majority of her life in a cage, and sometimes she lives in that cage for her entire life. While their are alternatives for cage-free hens in the US and elsewhere, such as cage-free range conditions, there is still not enough hens on these farms to satisfy the egg demand.

What is kinetic sand?
### Response:
| Kinetic sand is a simple model for sediment transport, which is really important in the real world for understanding what happens when rivers erode and deposit rocks, and how that impacts the size of bays and lakes. In this model, sediment transport is basically limited by a thin layer of sand grains that form on the bottom of the water, and which move along as the water’s velocity changes. It’s essentially frictionless and you can ignore sediment sticking and tearing apart.

Given this reference text, tell me what the foundational BJJ concept was
Brazilian jiu-jitsu was initially developed in 1925 by Brazilian brothers Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastão Jr., George, and Hélio Gracie, after Carlos was taught jiu-jitsu by a travelling Japanese judoka, Mitsuyo Maeda, who himself mastered his ground fighting while interacting with Taro Miyake (Tanabe student), Sadakazu Uyenishi (Handa, Tanabe) and Yukio Tani (Tenjin Shinyo-ryu) and catch wrestlers in Europe. Later on, the Gracie family developed their own self-defense system, and published Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
BJJ eventually came to be its own defined combat sport through the innovations, practices, and adaptation of Gracie jiu-jitsu and Judo, and became an essential martial art for modern MMA. Governing bodies such as the IBJJF work worldwide, and set the rules and standards to be held in sport BJJ competitions.
BJJ revolves around the concept, taken from traditional Japanese jūjutsu, that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling and self-defense situations.[3] Sparring, commonly referred to as "rolling" within the BJJ community, and live drilling plays a major role in training and the practitioner's development. BJJ can also be used as a method of promoting physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.[4][5]
### Response:
| BJJ focuses on the concept that smaller and weaker practitioners can defend against larger and bigger opponents by taking the fight to the ground. Once on the ground, a BJJ practitioner can use leverage and weight distribution to defeat their opponent. |

I'm very poor and can really only afford to eat tuna and sardines right now, but they are very bland tasting. How do I make them taste better?
### Response:
| Tuna can certainly start to get very boring if you eat it regularly, although it can still provide good nutrition. If you have a kitchen, here are a couple of simple ideas you can do. First, add spices such as chili powder or garlic powder to the fish, both of which add a nice amount of flavor to tuna. If you're interested, you can also mix in seasonings such as dill or basil to the tuna for an even greater variety of flavors. Or, you can mix tuna with other types of fish such as salmon, which are more likely to have greater flavor to begin with. Additionally, you can stir-fry tuna with herbs and peppers such as coriander to really improve the flavor. For sardines, you can also add additional ingredients to help boost the flavor, including garlic, lime, oil, and chili pepper.

### Instruction:
Is he still an active football player?
Mariano Sánchez Martínez (born 28 January 1978) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
He appeared in 108 Segunda División games over three seasons, scoring two goals for Cartagena.
Club career
Born in San Pedro del Pinatar, Region of Murcia, Sánchez did not reach the Segunda División B until he was 26, in 2004, arriving at CD Alcoyano from amateurs AD Mar Menor-San Javier. In the following year he moved to another club at that level, FC Cartagena, helping it promote to Segunda División in his fourth season.
Sánchez made his debut in the competition on 29 August 2009 at the age of 31 years and seven months, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Girona FC.[1] He scored his first league goal on 22 May 2010 in the 3–5 home loss to Levante UD,[2] and never appeared in less than 34 league matches during his three seasons in that tier, suffering relegation in his last and renewing his contract for a further two years in June 2012.[3]
On 14 May 2014, the 36-year-old Sánchez announced he would retire at the end of the campaign while hoping to help his team promote, which eventually did not befell.[4]
Personal life
Sánchez rejected an offer to play youth football for Real Murcia when he was 18, after deciding to move to Madrid to study architecture. Not being able to enter Real Madrid's youth system, he chose to retire from football.[5]
After his playing days, Sánchez continued to work as an architect. Still as an active player, he was the figurehead behind the creation of the sports complex Pinatar Arena, in his hometown.[6][4]
### Response:
| No, he retired at the age of 36 on May 14, 2014. However he is still working as an architect which he studied during his graduation. |

Extract a comma separated list of places mentioned in this entry on the history of coffee
The history of coffee dates back to centuries of old oral tradition in modern day Ethiopia. However, neither where coffee was first cultivated nor direct evidence of its consumption prior to the 15th century have been found. Sufi monasteries in Yemen employed coffee as an aid to concentration during prayers.[1] Coffee later spread to the Levant and Persia in the early 16th century; it caused some controversy on whether it was halal in Ottoman and Mamluk society. Coffee arrived in Italy the second half of the 16th century through commercial Mediterranean trade routes, while Central and Eastern Europeans learnt of coffee from the Ottomans. By the mid 17th century, it had reached India and the East Indies.
Coffeepot (cafetière "campanienne"), part of a service, 1836, hard-paste porcelain, Metropolitan Museum of Art
Coffee houses would establish themselves in Western Europe by the late 17th century, especially in England and Germany. One of the earliest cultivations of coffee in the New World was when Gabriel de Clieu brought coffee seedlings to Martinique in 1720. These beans later sprouted 18,680 coffee trees which enabled its spread to other Caribbean islands like Saint-Domingue and also to Mexico. By 1788, Saint-Domingue supplied half the world's coffee.
By 1852, globally, Brazil became the largest producer of coffee and has held that status ever since. The period since 1950 saw the widening of the playing field due to the emergence of several other major producers, notably Colombia, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, and Vietnam; the latter overtook Colombia and became the second-largest producer in 1999.[2] Modern production techniques along with the mass productization of coffee has made it a household item today.
### Response:
| Ethiopia, Yemen, the Levant, Persia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, India, East Indies, Western Europe, England, Germany, Martinique, Saint-Domingue, Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Vietnam |

How can I defrost cooked chicken?
### Response:
| I can explain this in three steps. First, it’s important to do it the right way, which is to let it defrost in the refrigerator and not at room temperature. Second, you need to thaw the chicken by unwrapping it and putting it in a bowl of cold water, allowing it to soak for 5-10 minutes. Then you can wrap it in a clean paper towel, place it back in the bowl, and return it to the refrigerator.

how do you bbq turkey legs?
### Response:
| I can help you get started. To begin, you’ll need to prepare your grilling area by lighting a fire and ensuring it’s not too hot. You’ll want to start your fire over a low-heat bed of coals, and then rake them into a pile. Once the fire is glowing hot, turn off your fire and prepare to cook. Sear your turkey legs over the open fire for one minute on each side, then move to the coals. Place the legs into the coals, laying them on their sides. When the legs are dark brown on one side, flip them over. Allow them to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes. Watch closely for proper doneness! If they’re not done, they will likely get burned. This should do it, let me know how it goes!

should i go to australia or new zealand?
### Response:
| Okay, I’ve found that the Australian and New Zealand economies are similar in many respects, but Australia has more high-tech manufacturing jobs and more jobs in general, and so has a lower unemployment rate. New Zealand has higher median incomes, but also higher household debt and crime rates. It seems like you would prefer the lower unemployment rate, so I would say Australia.

What can you tell me about mountain lions?
### Response:
| Mountain lions are also called cougars, or panthers. They’re related to other big cats like lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars. Mountain lions live in dry habitats like deserts, grasslands, and chaparral, and some live in forests. They hunt prey mostly at night. Sometimes their diets consist of animals they’ve killed, or they catch prey themselves. And sometimes their diets consist of deer, or small mammals like rabbits, ground squirrels, and raccoons. Females have about two or three cubs each year. They’re one of the biggest cats in the world, and their size can range between 100 and 300 pounds.

### Instruction:
My sister feeds her dog a vegan diet. Isn't this unhealthy for a dog?
### Response:
| Feeding a dog a vegan diet is definitely not ideal. While dogs can safely get most nutrients through a plant-based diet, all dogs still require some animal protein, particularly to get sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, D, B12, iron, and zinc. It's also important to feed your dog a variety of whole foods, rather than buying pre-made, packaged vegan foods, which often contain a lot of sugar, salt, and fat, and might not provide the variety of nutrients that your dog needs. However, other than these considerations, dogs can get all the nutrients that they need from a vegan diet, as long as you're providing them with a well-balanced, varied, whole-foods diet.

### Instruction:
What is DNA sequence assembly?
### Response:
| In bioinformatics, sequence assembly refers to aligning and merging fragments from a longer DNA sequence in order to reconstruct the original sequence. This is needed as DNA sequencing technology might not be able to 'read' whole genomes in one go, but rather reads small pieces of between 20 and 30,000 bases, depending on the technology used. Typically, the short fragments (reads) result from shotgun sequencing genomic DNA, or gene transcript (ESTs).
The problem of sequence assembly can be compared to taking many copies of a book, passing each of them through a shredder with a different cutter, and piecing the text of the book back together just by looking at the shredded pieces. Besides the obvious difficulty of this task, there are some extra practical issues: the original may have many repeated paragraphs, and some shreds may be modified during shredding to have typos. Excerpts from another book may also be added in, and some shreds may be completely unrecognizable. |

I'm thinking about making a bacon salad dressing. I've heard that spinach is a good base for that?
### Response:
| You might want to try cauliflower or kale instead. Cauliflower has more nutritional value than spinach and makes a more neutral-tasting salad base. Kale has a somewhat bitter taste, so if you're not a fan of greens, it might not work well in a dressing. As for your bacon salad dressing, there's an easy recipe here: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/538320/easy-homemade-bacon-salad-dressing/

What is the difference between a condition being treatable and being curable?
### Response:
| There’s no clear distinction. A “condition that is treatable” just means it’s possible to help. For example, it’s possible to cure diabetes, but also treat it with insulin. In some cases, the only way to treat something is by curing it -- like being cured of a disease.

Explain the difference between rap and hip hop music
### Response:
| Hip hop music evolved out of early rap music in the late 1980s. It has become popular in the past two decades. Both hip hop and rap share common elements: both are often energetic, both are often sampled-based, and both tend to feature lyrics that offer a kind of social commentary. Hip hop is also often dance-based. What makes hip hop different from early rap is the inclusion of a more diverse range of influences, and also the use of samples in a much more prominent way. It also tends to feature rapping in a more conversational style, rather than the more declarative and “poetic” style of early rap.

What happened to Captain Bligh after the Mutiny on the Bounty?
### Response:
| The mutineers put then-Lieutenant Bligh and eighteen other crew into a small, open boat and set them adrift in the middle of the South Pacific ocean. Bligh and his men had just a small amount of food and water. Bligh used his memory of navigation charts to plan a course westward to the Dutch colony of Timor.
They initially tried stopping at an island to gather supplies. The island was inhabited, however, and they were attacked. One crew member was killed and the rest barely escaped. From then on they dared not stop at any island until reaching the Great Barrier Reef of Australia (then called New Holland by the Europeans).
In a remarkable achievement of seamanship, Bligh and his men sailed and rowed their open boat for 41 days over a distance of 3618 miles, in sometimes harsh weather conditions. Food and drink had to be strictly rationed, and the men suffered greatly from hunger and thirst. Except for the death of the crewman at the hands of the islanders, all the remaining crew reached Timor alive. Sadly, some men died of disease contracted at the colony town of Batavia or on the final return voyage to Europe. Of the original nineteen men set adrift by the Bounty mutineers, twelve returned alive to England.
Bligh continued his career in the British Navy. He was assigned a new ship and once again sailed to Tahiti take breadfruit to British colonies in the Caribbean. This time, the mission was completed successfully. Bligh commanded additional ships, including fighting in several major naval battles. In 1805, Bligh was appointed Governor of New South Wales. He ended his British Naval career as a Vice Admiral. William Bligh died in London on Dec 12, 1817. |

Why does daylights savings time cause heart attacks and miscarriages?
### Response:
| Ah, this is a very interesting question! The reason for the correlation between daylight savings time and increased heart attack and miscarriage rates is not entirely clear, but some tentative theories have been proposed.
The most widely accepted explanation is that the sudden change in sleep schedule disrupts the body’s natural circadian rhythm, and this results in an elevated risk of these negative health outcomes. Another possible explanation is that the timing of daylight savings time often coincides with seasonal allergy epidemics, and this also contributes to increased rates of these negative health outcomes. Finally, some evidence suggests that increased exposure to light during the fall adjustment to daylight savings time may increase the risk of these negative outcomes, although this theory is currently the subject of some debate. The bottom line is that there seems to be a fairly strong statistical correlation between daylight savings time and elevated rates of heart attack and miscarriage, but the exact cause of this correlation is still unknown.

What does an IQ test measure?
### Response:
| An overall intelligence quotient is a measure of how “intelligent” a person is. These tests usually make use of standardized and standardized methods to evaluate a person’s abilities in one or more areas of intelligence. They are typically administered individually, and use abstract items of varying complexity involving fluid reasoning, comprehension, and the ability to discern relationships between different concepts and data.
However, many researchers believe that the usefulness of IQ tests is limited, and they are used much more rarely now than they were in the past. Instead, today’s psychologists prefer to focus on emotional intelligence and personality type, which can be assessed by more individualized means and clearly have a much greater impact on overall life success and happiness.

I'm writing a paper on the effects of drinking on the human brain. Can you give me more information on what those effects are?
### Response:
| Well, you’re not asking an exact question about what effect alcohol is going to have on your brain, so I can give you a bit more general information. Alcohol can be thought of as a poison. All poisons, as you probably know, are designed to kill their prey by stopping them from functioning. In the case of alcohol, it’s designed to break down the part of your brain that controls your thinking and reasoning skills. Because alcohol is a poison, it has the side effect of disabling you, so you can’t use your thinking skills for a little while, but eventually the effects wear off, leaving you in a similar position to if you’d never had anything to drink at all.
