Tell me about the American Civil War | The American Civil War was fought from 1861 - 1865 between the Union (North) and Confederate (South) armies. The Union was thought to have an easy path to victory since it enjoyed the advantages of a more modern industrial economy and greater numbers of fighting aged-men. However, the war dragged on for much longer, and at a higher cost than most initially imagined - carrying on 4 years and at a cost of about 600,000 dead. The Union won, and the United States was saved from a constitutional crisis as a result. | general_qa |

How should I pick a name for my baby? | Only you can decide that, but there are some questions you may want to ask youself. Do you like inheriting family names, or do you want a novel name? Is the name easy to pronounce? Will the name remind people of someone famous? What nicknames will the name lead to? Does the name have a special origin or meaning to you? If your family speaks multiple languages, will the name be replicable in all of the languages? When you see your baby, does the name feel right to you? | general_qa |

Describe the governing arrangements provided by the Articles of Confederation. What were the main weaknesses of the document? | The Articles of Confederation (AoC) was the first written constitution of the United States. There were various governing arrangements provided by the AoC, but the most important was protecting the power or sovereignty of the states. The state would not have ratified the AoC if the federal government did not guarantee the powers of the states. The AoC defined a federal government with a unicameral legislature (one vote per state). This legislation had the following powers: declare war, conduct “foreign or commercial relations with other countries” (i.e. treaties), and executive functions that would be carried out by legislative committees. It also “suggested a federal court system”. This federal government was to be funded by the states.
Though it provided these powers to the federal government, there were inherent weaknesses built into the federal government. First, there was no way for the legislature to enforce its decisions. Second, a declared war or commercial treaty required the consent of at least 9 states. Even if a war was approved, there was no federal army, only state militias. Third, the federal government relied on the states for funding. If the states didn’t like legislation passed, they could simply withhold funding. Fourth, amendments to the AoC required the unanimous agreement of all thirteen states. A realization came that these weaknesses inhibited the governing ability of the federal government. This set the stage for dropping the AoC, which then lead to the current Constitution of the United States. | general_qa |

What does it mean for a function to be computable? | Although informally a function is computable if its values can be calculated, Alan Turing, Alonzo Church, and Kurt Godel each had formal definitions of computablility, namely Turing Machines, Lambda Calculus, and general recursive functions. When it was shown in the Church-Turing thesis that these three formulations are equivalent, it became more clear that they could be used as a formal definition of computability. | general_qa |

What is a subprocessor for purposes of data privacy laws? | Under a variety of data privacy laws (including the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, and the Swiss equivalent), companies that are given personal data directly by consumers are typically known as "controllers" of personal data. When a controller engages a third party (such as a SaaS service) to help the controller provide its services, that third party is a "processor" it processes personal data at the controller's instruction. If a processor then similarly engages third parties to assist it in providing its services to the controller, then each of those third parties is a "subprocessor." Not every third party that is involved in assisting the controller in providing its services is a "processor" or "subprocessor." Processors and subprocessors are typically only defined with respect to personal data being processed. | general_qa |

How Many Players are there in a Football Team? | Two teams of eleven (11) players are usually involved in a typical game of regulation football. It is worth noting that a variety of player formations get used in different competitions. For example, there are some variances in Premiership, League and in European matches.
In 11-a-side games, there must be at least seven (7) players. The rules allow for three (3) substitutes from the 7 available. But, their names must get nominated before the game begins. | general_qa |

What is the best age to drive a car? | In U.S legal age to drive is 16 years old. You will need to pass a written test and driving test in DMV to get your driver's license. However, I will not recommend driving at 16 because the insurance cost for young teen drivers is very high. It can be over $3000 per year and some states can even reach $5000. Also, most 16 years old is not prepared to handle the mental and physical demands of driving, their also easy to blend in their emotion when they are driving. So, my suggestion is to wait until they are 18 years old to drive a car. | general_qa |

Why are ragdoll cats called ragdolls? | Ragdoll cats are best known for their docile, placid temperament and affectionate nature. The name 'Ragdoll' is derived from the tendency to go limp and relax when picked up, just like an old fashioned doll made from and stuffed with rags. In fact, it is not uncommon to see a Ragdoll cat held by its owner as if it were a baby - on its back, legs in the air, limp and calm as can be. Most cat breeds would never tolerate that. The breed is particularly popular in both the United Kingdom and the United States. | general_qa |

Which phone OS is better, IOS or Android? | Both IOS & Android are among the most popular phone operating systems available today. IOS is known to be very user friendly and has a limited set of features that work extremely well. To achieve this simplicity, IOS sacrifices the level of customizability that it provides it’s users. Android, on the other hand is known to provide a high level of customization to it’s features and is extremely popular among power users. However, due to the myriad ways that it can be customized, it can be difficult to use and often has a steep learning curve when compared to IOS. Both IOS and Android each have their specific merits that caters to different user communities among which they are wildly popular. | general_qa |

His father doesn't understand or appreciate his passion for film, and his mother begins to wander away from the family. Adding to the strain are the several relocations in order to support the father's career. The film garnered a rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it is worth a watch. | general_qa |

Which is the best meal delivery service? | It depends on what is important to you. Some people like Blue Apron because the ingredients are from sustainable sources and the recipe cards have pictures and are easy to follow. But some people don't like Blue Apron and other meal delivery services like Hello Fresh, Factor, and Dinnerly, because you only get the ingredients, not complete meals. So you have to spend time on meal prep. For completely assembled ready-to-eat meals, people like Freshly, Unity Kitchen, or Splendid Spoon. If you have young children, it's probably a good idea to order the ready-to-eat meals so you can save time. The pre-assembled meals may be more expensive, but it could really be worth it for a young family. | general_qa |

What's the best place to visit China? | The most popular places to visit china are Beijing, Xian, Shanghai and Nanjing. You can find plenty historical places to visit in those city. There are also many mountains to visit. Speaking of long Chinese history, religious culture and distinctive natural scenery, the Five Great Mountains (Wu Yue) are the best destinations to discovery once for all. Despite the lower height than those high mountains like Mount Emei (3099m) and Mount Wutai (3058m), the five in different directions are known far and wide as the great figure of Chinese nation, through the combination of worshipping tradition of ancient mount gods, theory of five Taoist elements (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Soil) and mountain apotheosis from emperors.

My daughter's friend is lactose intolerant. What foods should we avoid when we take out to eat with us? | You'll want to look out for anything that contains milk, butter, cream, buttermilk, cheese, or ice cream. This means pizza is off the table (it almost always has cheese), and much Italian cuisine like lasagna or alfredo sauces must be avoided. You also need to be careful about fried foods, because batters often contain milk or buttermilk. Ask about the ingredients of bread, as these can contain butter: croissants typically do. Even salads can be a concern, because many restaurants will add cheese as a topping, even without listing cheese on the menu. Desserts are also problematic, because chocolate nearly always contains milk, as do most ice creams. Look for vegan products where you can, such as vegan cheeses and vegan ice cream, which can be delicious. | general_qa |

Is it advisable to dress in costume for a musical theater audition? | No, this is usually not advisable. It is often considered "too much" or the sign of an inexperienced actor to come to the call in full costume. It is recommended that an auditioner dress for confidence, and for comfort and movement (especially if there will be a dance call), However, it is always good advice to keep the appearance, style and personality of the character you are most interested in top of mind when choosing how to present yourself at an audition. | general_qa |

What story does your family always tell about you? | My family loves to tell the story from when I was little. I used to tell everyone that I thought I would own a large white airplane with pink seats. My parents have a video recording of me saying that I love to fly, and that when I am older, I would have a beautiful white airplane. I do not have an airplane, nor is it white. Nor does it have pink seats! I'm not sure why I thought this was important or possible. I believe my family tells this story because a toddler believing that they can have an airplane is surprising. | general_qa |

While Czechoslovakia was in existence Prague was its capital. | general_qa |

When do avalanches occur? | Avalanches are primarily caused by unstable snow conditions. Although a mountainside covered in snow might appear as a uniform surface, it is actually made up of many layers of snow from different storms, each of which might have very different compositions. For example, a "dry" snow from a very cold storm might land directly on top of a sun-baked layer which turned to ice. The point at which these layers meet is called an interface, and is where slipping or sliding of one layer on top of another is most likely to occur. This occurrence is what can trigger an avalanche. Snow conditions on a slope can also evolve over time with wind and sun and other weather patterns, so even a once-safe slope might increase in risk under certain conditions. People recreating in the outdoors in the winter can benefit from learning about these situations from avalanche professionals. | general_qa |

Who was the most prolific religious leader ever? | Some know him as Zoroaster and others as Zarathustra. He lived between the 18th and 16th century BCE. The reputed founder of Zoroastrianism, he started the major religion of the Persian Empire. This empire flourished from 550 BCE to 330 BCE.
Nobody knows his birthplace. But many Arabic sources claim he got born in modern Azerbaijan. To this day, so many countries have tried to lay claim to his birthplace, that we might think he was not a single person.
Followers worshiped Ahura Mazda, the Supreme Being or God of Zoroastrianism. While the religion has gone extinct, we have to note it influenced so many ancient civilizations. Zoroastrianism influenced Classic Greek philosophy, Roman teachings, and many more.
There are still some people practicing Zoroastrianism, namely in India. | general_qa |

How do you gain muscle? | Gaining muscle mass requires proper exercise and a good diet. A good diet is important to give the body the nutrient it needs in order to sustain muscle growth. On the flip side, properly stressing the muscles will stimulate them to grow. This requires a variance of different exercises to work the muscle group. Otherwise, the muscle will build resistance to an often repeated exercise, and growth for that muscle will plateau. | general_qa |

What creates moon phases and how is it different from an eclipse? | The moonlight we see on Earth is sunlight reflecting off the Moon surface. How much of the Moon we see changes day-to-day and is called lunar phases. The Moon orbits Earth and Earth orbits the Sun. Everything is moving. The phases of the moon are actually just a result of our perception of the moon's half-illuminated surface. When the moon does pass through Earth's shadow the result is a lunar eclipse.
The phases of the moon are the changes in the amount of the surface of the moon that are illuminated by the Sun from the perspective of earth. When the surface of the side of the moon facing Earth is completely illuminated, we see a full moon. When none of the surface is illuminated and we can’t see the moon at all, the phase is a new moon. When half the side of the moon facing Earth is lit up, the phases are called the first and third quarters. When the visible moon appears to be getting bigger, we say it is waxing; when the visible lighted surface seems to be getting smaller, we say the moon is waning. When less than half of the visible moon is lit, it’s called a crescent, and when it’s more than half, it’s called a gibbous.
During a lunar eclipse, Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on the Moon. Earth's shadow covers all or part of the lunar surface. | general_qa |

What is the best bidding system in duplicate bridge? | Bidding systems in bridge allow the partnership to communicate the strength and various characteristics of their hand to arrive at an appropriate contract. A good bidding system should be descriptive, accommodate many different hand types, and account for interference from the opponents. There is no clear best bidding system as they all have advantages and disadvantages but 2/1 (two-over-one) is accepted to be the standard that people use. The reason is that it can describe many hand types efficiently through natural bidding, it is easy to learn and understand, and handle interference from opponents. | general_qa |

What is the philosophy of the movie Up? | Ellie is clearly a lot more adventurous than Carl. In fact that is clear in the first few minutes. To Carl, "Spirit of Adventure" is a balloon and for her its an abandoned house. The size, I think, matters because that is the size of the spirit of adventure.
Another thing alluding to her spirit of adventure is the loss of the baby and her subsequent rebounding from the sadness. She takes this grave loss as an adventure in her book. Carl is a good husband to point out that she needs to fulfill her "Things I am going to do" promise to herself, but does not realize how Ellie views the loss of the baby.
Carl is stuck on the aspect of having the house on Paradise island. He thinks that Ellie never lived her adventures and never added to her book since her first wish never got fulfilled.
When an adventure presents itself in the form of Kevin, Carl, still attached to the past, prefers to fulfill the perceived wish by Ellie. When he does get the home on the water fall, it is clear that he is not satisfied. He can say that the dog nor Kevin are his problems. But when he sits down in his beloved chair, and looks through Ellie book of adventure again, he realizes that Ellie lived her adventures. She had no regrets. Her life was an adventure. And just at the right time, Carl sees the message from her to live his own adventure, i.e. Kevin.
Things become clearer for Carl. He is absolved of his guilt. He realizes that Ellie never felt bad about not being able to have her home on Paradise island. This moment of clarity is what all humans crave for. With this clarity, it was easy for him to be rid of all his attachments. He left behind his and his wife's chairs that he is clearly very attached to.
The message here, at least for the adults to discern and then communicate to the kids is to live your life. Yes you have dreams. But in day to day life, those dreams may not be achieved. Look for adventure. Look to live fully and without attachment to your dreams like Ellie did. Because, then, in living this full life, it just might be that your dream comes true. It just might be that the house is on Paradise island even without you trying like in the end of the movie! | general_qa |

What is the main difference between decoder only transformer and encoder only transformer? | The main difference is that the encoder-only transformer looks at the input sequence from both directions, both front and the back, this means they can better understand the relationships between each token in the sequence. On the other hand, the decoder-only transformer only look at one direction of the input, which means they are better suited for autoregressive language tasks such as text generation. | general_qa |

What is a brief summary of the book, "The Well-Educated Mind, A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had", written by Susan Wise Bauer? | Susan Wise Bauer took inspiration from Mortimer Adler's book, "How to Read A Book", in writing her book, "The Well-Educated Mind, A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had." One of the highlights of the book is a reading list of classics from six genres of writing. The six genres Bauer focuses upon are novels, autobiography, history and politics, drama, poetry and natural sciences. She describes how to approach each genre as a reader, how to ask good questions of the author and how to formulate your own viewpoint of the topic. For each genre, when presenting the book list, she gives you a summary of each book, the best revision of the book to read and her initial impressions of the authors viewpoint. Bauer's book is not meant to be read from cover to cover, but to be a guide as you work through the reading list of each genre. Reading Bauer's book is like having your own college level professor guiding you through the classics. At the end of this guide, if you have read every book on Bauer's recommended list, you will be able to consider yourself well read. | general_qa |

Why are children so special? | Children are incredibly special because they are new to the earth. They have fewer biases and are able to see, imagine and create with perspectives that are unavailable to adults. For example, when a child plays in the sand, she may have only seen or touched sand only twenty times before. For her, the sand holds the promise of new textures, the opportunity to build a yet-unseen creation, and hours of delight before her. The adult sees sand and worries about dirt and bringing sand into the house. The adult has had many experiences with sand and not all of them have been positive. The adult's, vision of sand is clouded by experience. We must hold on and seek out the magic of children so that we can continue to find and enjoy the mysteries of the universe, even if they are not all pleasant every time. | general_qa |

What are some good techniques for cooking a steak? | Most would agree that the most important element of cooking a steak to get optimal flavor is to be able to achieve very high heat on the cooking surface. High heat would be 500 degrees or more.
Where opinion varies is when to put the steak onto that high heat surface.
The more traditional technique calls for searing the steak on both sides first, and then cooking it until you hit your target temperature.
But more and more, people seem to prefer what many call a "reverse sear" technique, in which you would slow roast the steak until it is near done, and then placing the steak on the high heat surface to achieve a very dark, even sear all over the steak's surface. | general_qa |

Eggs are expensive these days. Should I rear my own chickens instead? | Chickens typically take around 18 weeks to start laying eggs. Of course, this depends on the age and the breed of the chickens as well. You wouldn’t expect a newborn to start producing eggs. A hen does not lay eggs in cold seasons. So, if you can wait for your chickens to lay eggs and don’t mind spending on raising chickens, buying a flock of chickens at $30 to start might not be a bad idea. | general_qa |

How do you add two or more numbers | You can add numbers by treating each number as a count of items and then counting all of the items to get a total result which is the sum of the numbers.
The process of adding numbers is known as addition and is one of four basic maths operations. This area of maths is known as arithmetic.
Counting the quantity of items is the same as repeatedly adding 1.
For example, adding the numbers two and three (or 2 + 3) is the same as adding one (1) two times and then adding one (1) three times. | general_qa |

Why does in-person contact create more impactful human connections than relationships based on purely virtual meetings? | While meeting someone virtually over platforms like Zoom allow for humans to meet and establish real relationships, meeting in-person creates more impactful and intimate relationships. A person is able to get to know others over virtual meetings, but there are very important non-verbal communications that are absent when people meet virtually.
As Sherlock Holmes would say, through the "powers of deduction" when two people spend time in a room together, you can observe and study the other person's behaviors in ways not truly possible over virtual technologies today. When spending time in-person, one develops a more intimate understanding of their fellow person. This more nuanced understanding of one's peer, allows you to establish and stronger relationships. | general_qa |

Let’s solve the following math problem. Each rabbit has 4 feets and each duck has 2 feets. If there are in total 25 heads and 88 feets, how many rabbits and how many ducks are there? | Let’s use equations to solve it!
Let the number of ducks be X and the number of rabbits be Y.
We have X + Y = 25 and 2X + 4Y = 88.
Simplifying the first equation, we get Y = 25 - X
Substitute that in the second equation, we will get 2X + 4(25-X) = 88,
Thus 100 - 2X = 88
Which means 2X = 100 – 88 = 12, thus X = 6.
We substitute back into the first equation, we have Y = 25 - 6 = 19.

What causes rain? | Rain is the byproduct of the natural cycle of evaporation and condensation that happens all over the world. Moisture evaporates into the atmosphere from bodies of water and soil. Once this moisture is aloft in the atmosphere, certain conditions cause it to precipitate in the form of rain. These conditions include changes in atmospheric pressure, orographic lift cause by hilly terrain, and changes in temperature. Once the moisture starts to condense into larger and larger droplets, they eventually become heavy enough to fall from the cloud in the form of rain drops. This cycle then continues on with the newly fallen rain beginning to evaporate into the atmosphere. | general_qa |

What is the difference between coalesce and repartition when it comes to shuffle partitions in spark | Coalesce essentially groups multiple partitions into a larger partitions. So use coalesce when you want to reduce the number of partitions (and also tasks) without impacting sort order. Ex:- when you want to write-out a single CSV file output instead of multiple parts
Use repartition when you want to cause a shuffle that changes the number of partitions. A common use-case for repartition is to remove skew in file sizes or to start out with a smaller/different number of partitions than the default in Spark | general_qa |

How do UK telephone numbers work? | The UK telephone numbering system has a strange and complicated pattern which is born out of many historical changes and anomalies. Essentially nearly all numbers start with 0 when dialled in the UK. The leading 0 is omitted when calling from overseas and the prefix "+44" is added in its place. The second digit indicates what type of number it is. So called geographic numbers (those associated with an area code) start with 01or 02. Numbers starting with 03 are not associated with any area code but are charged at the same rates as numbers beginning with 01 or 02. Mobile numbers always start with 07. Numbers starting 09 are premium rate numbers which incur high charges for providing additional services. Numbers starting with 080 are toll free. Other numbers starting with 08 are charged at special rates but not the very high rates for 09 numbers.
Special numbers that do not start with 0 include 999 and 112 for emergencies, 101 for non emergency Police matters, 111 for contacting the National Health Service in a non emergency and directory enquiries services that start with 118.
The history of UK area codes (beginning 01 and 02) dates back to the times when individual telephone exchanges had their own one, two or three character Subscriber Trunk Dialing (STD) codes (e.g. B for Birmingham or AY6 for Aylesbury). in 1966 STD codes were converted to numbers using the number patterns on telephone dials (where 2=ABC, 3 = DEF etc.) so Birmingham became 021, Aylesbury became 0296. 01 was the code allocated to London. Area codes were between 2 and five characters long including the leading zero. Following the area code a local number of between 3 and 7 digits was added for each line to make the complete number either 9 or 10 digits long. Callers within the same area code could dial other lines with the same code by simply dialling the local number omitting the area code. In 1968 area codes beginning 00 were moved to free up 00 for other uses.
By the 1980s a number of factors meant that some areas, especially London, were running out of codes. Various measures were introduced including, in 1990, the splitting of London into 071 (inner London) and 081 (outer London).
The 80s and 90s also saw the gradual introduction of "non geographic" numbers e.g. the toll free 0800 numbers and a number of patterns for emerging mobile services. Premium rate services were also launched using 0898.
In 1995 on so called "phONEday" a leading 1 was added after the zero. London numbers became either 0171 or 0181, Birmingham 0121, Aylesbury 01296 etc.
This established the pattern we see today allowing for some area codes to move to "02" codes over the next few years. In addition larger cities were allocated new codes beginning 011 e.g. 0113 for Leeds, 0117 for Bristol.
In 2000 the "big number change" saw London codes changed yet again = 0171 became 020 7 and 0181 became 020 8 allowing for new London numbers to be issued starting with 020 3 and 020 4 . Other cities that gained "02" style codes were Southampton/Portsmouth 023 , Coventry 024 and Cardiff 029. A unified code of 028 was introduced in Northern Ireland. | general_qa |

Why do people chose to homeschool their children? | Choosing how and where to educate your child is a very important family decision. Parents have different values and make different decisions accordingly. Homeschooling is on the rise due to the pandemic, safety, quality of the curriculum and ideological factors.

According to the National Home Education Research Institute, homeschooled children usually score 15 to 30 percentile points above public school students on standardized tests. Some research has found that overall, 78% of the compared and reviewed studies confirm that homeschooled children performed significantly better than their public schooled peers in terms of academic performance. Social and Emotional Skills are an area where homeschools have perceived weakness, but that is not true. Infact, 87% of peer-reviewed studies on the subject indicate that they perform statistically significantly better than those in conventional schools. | general_qa |

Who was Amilcare Ponchielli? | Amilcare Ponchielli (1834–1886) was an Italian composer. Born in Paderno Fasolaro (now Paderno Ponchielli) near Cremona, then Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, Ponchielli won a scholarship at the age of nine to study music at the Milan Conservatory, writing his first symphony by the time he was ten years old.
He is best known for his operas, most notably La Gioconda, the third and most successful version of which debuted at La Scala in Milan on 28 March 1880. The Dance of the Hours from that opera is widely known thanks in part to its use in Walt Disney's Fantasia in 1940 and in Allan Sherman's novelty song "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh".
In 1881, Ponchielli was appointed the maestro di cappella of Bergamo Cathedral and a professor of composition at the Milan Conservatory, where his pupils included Giacomo Puccini, Pietro Mascagni, Emilio Pizzi, and Giovanni Tebaldini. He was married to the soprano Teresina Brambilla and died at the age of 51 in Milan. | general_qa |

What are the main reasons Parisians want electric scooters to be banned according to the following article?
Parisians are voting on Sunday on whether to rid the streets of the French capital of electric scooters, although some say the city’s leaders ought to be focusing on more pressing issues.
Paris was a pioneer when it introduced e-scooters, or trottinettes, in 2018 as the city’s authorities sought to promote non-polluting forms of urban transport.
But as the two-wheeled vehicles grew in popularity, especially among young people, so did the number of accidents: in 2022, three people died and 459 were injured in e-scooter accidents in Paris.
In what is being billed as a “public consultation” voters are being asked: “For or against self-service scooters?”
Twenty-one polling stations have been set up across the city and will be open until 7pm local time, with the result expected at around 10pm.
Electric scooters available for rent on the Place du Trocadero, Paris.
E-scooters: a tale of two cities as London and Paris plot different paths

Although 1.6 million people are eligible to vote, turnout is expected to be low.
Paris’s socialist mayor, Anne Hidalgo, has promoted cycling and bike-sharing but supports a ban on e-scooters.
In an interview with Agence France-Presses last week, Hidalgo said “self-service scooters are the source of tension and worry” for Parisians and that a ban would “reduce nuisance” in public spaces. However, she promised to respect the outcome of the vote even if it is not legally binding.
Paris has almost 15,000 e-scooters across its streets, operated by companies including Lime, Dott and Tier.
Detractors argue that e-scooter users disrespect the rules of the road and regularly flout a ban on riding on pavements. The vehicles are also often haphazardly parked or thrown into the River Seine.
In June 2021, a 31-year-old Italian woman was killed after being hit by an e-scooter with two passengers onboard while walking along the Seine.
“Scooters have become my biggest enemy. I’m scared of them,” Suzon Lambert, a 50-year-old teacher from Paris, told AFP. “Paris has become a sort of anarchy. There’s no space any more for pedestrians.”
Another Parisian told BFMTV: “It’s dangerous, and people use them badly. I’m fed up.”
Julian Sezgin, aged 15, said he often saw groups of two or three teenagers on e-scooters zooming past cars on busy roads. “I avoid going on e-scooters and prefer e-bikes as, in my opinion, they are safer and more efficient,” he told the Guardian. | According to the Mayor of Paris, Parisians want to ban e-scooters because they are a source of tension and worry and banning them would reduce nuisance in public spaces.

What options does the Federal Reserve have to fight inflation? | The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States, and its remit is to provide the nation a more stable and durable monetary system. The Federal Reserve, or the Fed, is specifically tasked with maintaining maximum employment while ensuring price stability. The United States is currently experiencing persistent inflation. Typically, the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates when initially trying to combat inflation. The increased rates make lending more expensive, and subsequently discourages capital investment and borrowing. The added cost in turn reduces demand for products and services. Lower demand normally leads to dropping prices to try and motivate potential buyers. The other primary method involves open-market operations. When inflation is running higher than expected, the Fed can reduce the money supply by selling securities and taking currency out of circulation. Since there are fewer dollars in circulation, each remaining dollar is correspondingly worth more than it was before those transactions. | general_qa |

Help me pick a Lego set for my friends. | Lego has different sets for people in different ages. Each set usually has age guidance on the box. For small kids below 3 years old, I would recommend Duplo, because Duplo bricks have bigger size, and won't be swallowed by accident. For kids above 3 years old, but less than 10 years old, I would recommend Lego Classic. For those sets, people can use their imagination to create whatever things they like. For kids above 10 and adults, Lego Technic and Icons are super cool and good for display.
For people interested in specific themes, like Star War, Harry Potter, etc, lego also has sets in those themes for you to choose from. | general_qa |

What do you need for car camping? | I always pack a tent, sleeping bag, cot, and air mattress. The sleeping bag should be rated for the temperatures you expect, and the tent quality will matter more in rainy conditions. I also pack a camping stove and propane canister, along with a pot, pan, and mess kit. You'll need matches as well if your stove doesn't include a lighting mechanism. The campground will have a water spout, but I've found it convenient to bring a five gallon water container that we keep on the camp site. For a weekend trip, a few changes of clothes, a flashlight or headlamp, and a couple extra batteries will definitely come in handy. We bring folding chairs and wood if the camp site has a fire pit. A cooler with plenty of ice can keep ingredients cold for a weekend trip, and between hiking, cooking, setup and teardown, there's enough to do for a full weekend. | general_qa |

Could you provide some recommendations for restaurants in Yountville? | Yountville has many gastronomic delights. The best and most renown restaurant in Yountville is Thomas Keller’s French Laundry, which is one of his Michelin 3-star restaurants. Chef Keller uses French techniques, coupled with the abundance of produce and wine from the famous Napa Valley. The French Laundry also has its own garden and chicken coop, which are located across the street. This is an expensive restaurant and it’s hard to get a reservation, but it’s certainly a treat.
Less expensive, but still good, are three other restaurants owned by Chef Keller:
• Bouchon Bistro, which also has a Michelin star and serves classic French bistro cuisine,
• Ad Hoc, which serves elevated, but casual, family-style dinners, and
• La Calenda, which serves Mexican cuisine and has live music on weekend nights.
Another good French bistro-style restaurant is Bistro Jeanty, a mainstay of Yountville restaurants.
Bottega, owned by Michael Chiarella, is a good option for Italian cuisine. Lucy Restaurant, in the Bardessono Hotel, has an eclectic, but delicious menu.
Good options for very inexpensive food are Tacos Garcia, which is a taco truck next to the park near Madison Street, and Velo Deli and Pizzeria, which serves sandwiches and pizzas.
For a very quick bite, Kelly’s Provisions is a tiny shop located in the only gas station in Yountville located at the corner of Washington Street and Madison Street (and it’s the world’s cutest and cleanest gas station). At Kelly’s, you can find hot dogs and soft serve ice cream, and it also has many packaged snacks, a wide assortment of drinks, and a good selection of wine and champagne. | general_qa |
