Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do I make a profile on a dating app? ### Response:
There’s a lot of different dating apps out there, and while your decision about which one to use will depend on your personal tastes and preferences, many have features similar to each other. The main thing is making sure you look good and present yourself well. Of course there are many ways to make your profile stand out as well, and I would recommend focusing on things that make you unique, or things that you’re interested in. Before you create a profile, you may want to think first about what you’re looking for in a partner. Think about what kind of people you’re interested in meeting, and try to include information on your profile that represents those goals, or things you generally like to do in your time off. For example, if you want to meet other people who love hiking, then include a picture of yourself hiking, or mention on your profile where you like to hike. Another thing you may want to include in your profile is interests of all types -- hobbies and activities you like to do, books you like to read, films and TV shows you enjoy watching -- and finally important details of your life, like your gender and your sexual orientation. Once you’ve made your profile, you’ll want to go on dates if you find someone interesting, so it’s good to make a few friends on the app first before that. Usually these apps have some messaging features or forums or groups that enable you to meet other people, and isn’t always the best idea to try meeting people for the first time in person on a first date. You can build a sense of trust with some people by talking with them first in a more public setting before a first date. That can help you feel more comfortable and ready for a first app date if that person is someone you like as a potential partner. I wish you the best of luck on your dating apps!
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I have a big giant tree out front that attracts a ton of stink bugs, a.k.a. boxelder bugs. They are a giant nuisance and the exterminator could not provide me with any advice on how to prevent them from entering your home. Can you tell me everything you know about this bug? ### Response:
Well, boxelder bugs have an approximate length of 8 to 12 millimeters and a color that ranges from green to reddish-brown. Their name is believed to come from the shape of the bugs, that resembles a certain type of wood, and also for the fact that the bugs are known to live on certain trees like the boxelder. I have found a number of websites with information on different bug control methods, and there are some potential options that I’ll list: Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) sprayed on the tree stump and the leaves surrounding the tree. The bug is sensitive to the bacteria. Imidacloprid, a common form of the insecticide Nuisance Earwig Killer, which kills stink bugs. It is recommended that you place these products near the base of the tree stump, as well as some of the surrounding leaves, to avoid the pesticide being inadvertently ingested by the dog.

A garden center sells plants and products for domestic gardens. Plants are usually obtained from other specialist nurseries or wholesalers. It is the addition of outdoor products that make it different from the plant nurseries of the past.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Extract ways to observe a black hole. Separate them with a "-" in multiple lines. The presence of a black hole can be inferred through its interaction with other matter and with electromagnetic radiation such as visible light. Any matter that falls onto a black hole can form an external accretion disk heated by friction, forming quasars, some of the brightest objects in the universe. Stars passing too close to a supermassive black hole can be shredded into streamers that shine very brightly before being "swallowed."[11] If other stars are orbiting a black hole, their orbits can determine the black hole's mass and location. Such observations can be used to exclude possible alternatives such as neutron stars. In this way, astronomers have identified numerous stellar black hole candidates in binary systems and established that the radio source known as Sagittarius A*, at the core of the Milky Way galaxy, contains a supermassive black hole of about 4.3 million solar masses. ### Response:
A black hole can be observed via the following ways: - Accretion disk heated by friction when matter falls into black hole.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I just found out that my child has leukemia, what should I do? ### Response:
First, I'm so sorry that you got the news that your child has leukemia. No child should have to live through cancer, and no parent should have to watch their child suffer such a serious illness. I recommend that you listen closely to your doctor's opinion on treatment. It usually does not hurt to get a second opinion if you feel you need one. Next, I recommend learning all that you can about pediatric leukemia. There are many good texts available and your hospital may even have some on hand. If you can find another parent within your network who has gone through pediatric leukemia with their child, it can be helpful to talk to someone who has been through the experience. Many people also find comfort in support groups on Facebook, or through a local "Leukemia & Lymphoma Society" chapter. It can be hard on caretakers of children with leukemia, so it can be a good idea to get plenty of rest, food and liquids while you are under stress. Finding a good therapist can also be helpful along the journey. I hope that you are able to find peace during this difficult time and that you have the resources you need.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What should you use an emergency fund for? ### Response:
One good use of an emergency fund is to have some money available in case you experience an unexpected financial problem. There are three kinds of potential problems: severe emergencies (like unexpected medical bills, the need to repair or replace a major appliance, or damage from a natural disaster), small everyday emergencies (like an extenuating expense or an interruption in income), and financial emergencies (like hardship in paying off high-interest debts, committing to credit card payments, or getting sued). So if you put away some money on a regular basis, this will create a fund that you can access in the event of an unexpected emergency. You should understand that an emergency fund won’t completely eliminate the risk of financial emergencies, but it will reduce this risk by providing you with some degree of financial stability. One way that you can calculate how much money you should have in reserve is to aim to save up to cover six months’ worth of living expenses. But different types of financial emergencies might mean that you should save more or less. To determine how much you should save, you should first discuss the situation with a financial advisor and accountant. Scientist: One motivation for having an

The subway suddenly stops. I groan in frustration. I have been waiting for months to go to this particular art exhibit that happens once a year and now I’m going to be late. I tap my foot out of impatience. Minutes pass by and the train becomes loud with angry passengers. I slip away to the emptier part of the train. I need to call my friends stating I will be late. I search for my phone in my bag but I could not find it. I think I forgot it at home. I look around to see if I could borrow anyone's phone. I walk up to the person in the seat across from me. “Excuse me is there any possible chance I could borrow your phone?” I question “There's no use calling anyone down here. There’s no signal,” She responds “Thank you anyway,” I say and walk back to my seat in defeat. I look out the window to see that the conductor's part of the subway is gone. I start to panic, my mind looking at all the worst possible scenarios. Did anyone else notice? I sit in silence for a few minutes not knowing what will happen next. “Where’s the conductor's car?” Someone yells out. The entire subway goes crazy. I continue to look out the window to block everyone out. I am lost in my daydreaming until I see a crack appear on the wall. I jump up. The crack begins to spread and spread. Water starts to pour out, suddenly I’m not the only one who noticed it anymore. Everyone is stunned. Clearly thinking of the same thing I’m thinking of. We are going to drown. I watch in fear as the water is spreading more quickly and it soon covers the subway floor. I managed to hop on a chair in time but others weren't as lucky as me. It begins to reach up to the chairs. The water seems to never stop pouring in. I then see another light, it’s firemen in a special train car. I am close to the exit door so I was one of the first ones evacuated.

So, in general, there really isn’t much you can do to grow hair faster, but there are several hair growth supplements on the market that are generally safe to use, if you’re interested in trying those. The main ingredient in most hair growth supplements is biotin, a B vitamin that many researchers believe can help hair grow thicker and stronger. Other ingredients in hair growth supplements include DHT blockers, which are believed to disrupt a hormone in your body known to cause thinner hair, and iron supplements, which are important for vigorous hair and nail growth.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why doesn't outer space have any sound? ### Response:
Sound waves require a medium to propagate through, such as air or water. In the case of outer space, there is no medium which can allow sound waves to propagate, therefore sound does not exist in outer space. Sound is also a phenomenon which arises through vibrations, and is dependent on a material "body", which is absent in outer space. There is however some detectable electromagnetic noise in outer space, which we call "cosmic microwave background radiation" and which includes many high frequency "shrieks" from star formation and various other cosmic phenomenon.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How are odds different from probability? ### Response:
Both are measurements for how likely it is for an event to occur. Odds are commonly used in gambling, which probability is a measure that is commonly used in mathematics/statistics. In statistics, probability measures the number of outcomes in which a particular event occurred divided by the total number of possible outcomes. For example, the probability of rain on a given day would be based on, historically with similar conditions, the number of rainy days divided by a total number of days. The odds are measured as the number of events divided by the number of non-events. To contrast, probability would be the number of events divided by the sum of events and non-events.

An illegal building technique is a Lego piece connection that is officially listed as illegal by the Lego corporation. They are never used in official Lego sets. This is because these building techniques stress the Lego pieces beyond their intended use and cause the pieces to get damaged over time. For example, sandwiching a Lego plate in between two Lego studs is an illegal technique as this was not their intended use, and the distance between the Lego studs is not wide enough to fit the Lego plate without damaging one of the pieces.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and is designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95. Recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California. The idea of a fixed link between San Francisco and Marin had gained increasing popularity during the late 19th century, but it was not until the early 20th century that such a link became feasible. Joseph Strauss served as chief engineer for the project, with Leon Moisseiff, Irving Morrow and Charles Ellis making significant contributions to its design. The bridge opened to the public in 1937 and has undergone various retrofits and other improvement projects in the decades since. The Golden Gate Bridge is described in Frommer's travel guide as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world."At the time of its opening in 1937, it was both the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. Its main span is 4,200 feet (1,280 m) and total height is 746 feet (227 m)
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do you grow out a perm? ### Response:
The word “perm” generally refers to the chemical process, a permanent wave, not to the hair itself. So let’s begin by looking at chemical hair relaxers, or as they’re sometimes called, “perms”. These days, most chemical perms use dihydroxide, instead of ammonium thioglycolate, as the hair straightening agent. However, all perms use an alkaline solution that is designed to dehydrate the hair, which prevents the hair from returning to its natural curl. You can try researching the chemistry of relaxers to better understand how they work. Once the hair is straight, perms are generally followed by a permanent application, which deposits a protective layer over the hair’s cuticle.

For some cultures a vacation has a very traditional meaning and expectations while other cultures have no notion of a vacation. For most in the United States, a vacation consists of spending time away from your normal routine of school or work to help you recharge. Vacations can be done by not leaving your house or by traveling to the far reaches of the planet and can range from a single day to many years depending on your situation in life. I personally enjoy vacationing with my family as often as I can throughout the year. Sometimes a vacation will consist of an extra day over the weekend to go camping at a park far away. Our favorite family vacations have involved going to special natural parks, called National Parks, to hike, swim, camp, and enjoy the scenery that nature provides. We also have visited cities with unique attractions like museums in Washington DC, or amusement parks in Gurnee Mills, IL, or football games in Seattle Washington, or skyscrapers of New York city. We usually plan our family vacations several months in advance so we have options to visit the areas we are interested in and sleep in convenient and comfortable locations. We also use books, friends, and the internet to research destinations for our vacation so we are taking full advantage of the time we have. Vacations provide life long memories for people!

The largest cities by metropolitan area are Phoenix, Las Vegas, El Paso, Albuquerque, and Tucson.[2] Before 1848, in the historical region of Santa Fe de Nuevo México as well as parts of Alta California and Coahuila y Tejas, settlement was almost non-existent outside of Nuevo México's Pueblos and Spanish or Mexican municipalities. Much of the area had been a part of New Spain and Mexico until the United States acquired the area through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 and the smaller Gadsden Purchase in 1854. ### Response:
The largest cities in the Southwestern United States are Phoenix, Las Vegas, El Paso, Albuquerque, and Tucson.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do you clean a fish tank? ### Response:
There are a number of simple and effective methods for cleaning a fish tank, depending on the size and scope of the project. It is important to ensure that the water quality and sanitation remain optimal for the health and longevity of the fish, and this requires regular maintenance. The most basic method is to simply remove the water from the tank and manually clean all of the aquarium components with a dampened rag or sponge. This can be sufficient for smaller aquariums with a minimal number of fish, but for larger tanks or higher concentrations of fish this can be quite time consuming and additionally risks potentially harmful changes in water chemistry. A more efficient method is to use a fish tank cleaning system, which automatically performs a full aquarium cleaning session by circulating cleaning solution throughout the entire aquarium tank. These systems are designed to maintain optimal water quality and sanitation, and can significantly reduce the time and labor burden associated with aquarium maintenance. In addition, these systems offer a number of additional benefits and features, including filter media cleaning, chemical treatment of the water, UV/infection control, and automated water change capabilities. There are a wide range of fish tank cleaning systems available on the market, so It is important to conduct careful research into the various

Sure! It is a board game, where players try to “own” as much of the game space as possible by buying up properties and collecting rent from others who occupy those properties. There are also special powers that help or hinder your opponents, and a goal of the game is to bankrupt your opponents. This means they spend all their money, but it’s a good way to make sure your opponents are not able to collect any money.

Austria's cuisine is highly influenced by its German neighbors and features lots of hearty sausages, cured meats, dumplings and hearty stews. Austria is generally a very safe and orderly country and is one of the wealthiest countries in Europe, though it still struggles with some problems of economic inequality. Looking forward, Austria faces growing pressure from larger neighboring countries such as Germany and Italy, and faces some economic and political challenges as it faces the challenges of the European debt crisis.

This is an amazingly difficult question to answer. On the one hand, it should be a non brainer - if offered, I would love to have the opportunity to go where no person has gone before, create history and be part of the team that creates hope for the survival of the human race when planet earth can no longer sustain us. I would love to build a future for our next generations, and I cannot think of a more noble goal that is also so thrilling and exhilarating. And yet, I also flinch from the thought of leaving my loved ones behind. Is it selfish of me to try and solve larger issues where I am a mere cog-in-the-wheel, and run away from the real issues that I can actually solve for my family? Am I being impractical or idealistic, especially when I may never see my family in the real world again - both because of the time it would take for a return journey and the risks involved. I dare say, I am glad I don't have to make this decision, just yet!
