Can you teach me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "I can, but maybe I should begin by telling you that a typical game consists of 2 players and 6 or 8 horseshoes.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Okay.

I’m glad you want to teach your kids about it.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "All right, so how do we start?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Well, we can get started with just being silent. You can tell the kids it’s okay if they just sit there quietly for a few minutes without thinking of anything.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "any other ideas? they are fidgeting", "role": "user" } ]

[ { "content": "Can you tell me the steps for getting a harbor boat slip for my sailboat?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Sure. I believe you’ll need a copy of the marina rules and regulations, since some of those details will likely determine what forms you’ll need to fill out. It looks like there’s a quick way to get a copy of the rules by phone, since you might be able to get the contact information for the harbormaster from your yacht club. If you get a hold of that person, you’ll also be", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Thanks. And what are some typical forms required?", "role": "user" } ]

I don’t think that’s a good idea. Squirrels will just leave the corn for mice to eat, and then the mice will return to your house.

The thing is, in a job interview you are applying to the position, right? Which means that you need to try to make yourself sound as good a fit as possible. So that means it’s a mistake to wear something that people would think of as a silly or stupid outfit. It’s good to wear something in line with what people expect the job to require, and ideally you want to wear something that you can walk around comfortably in. At the same time, if you wear something that looks kind of dorky, you might not stand out as much as someone who doesn’t, because the other candidates probably all have something slightly weird or wacky about them too. So, I’d say, do you like your outfit? Wear something that you’re comfortable in, that you think you look good in, and is in line with what the job would require. Also, for interview prep, I would focus on making yourself look as professional as possible, from your hair to your outfit.

Are those symptoms of a migraine?", "role": "user" } ]

[ { "content": "Are time outs helpful for kids?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "I would say so. Most people can learn by having a consequence for when they make a mistake, and time outs is an easy and effective consequence. But they’re often used too harshly, and so can be ineffective or even counter-productive.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What do you mean too harshly?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "To be clear, time outs are an effective consequence for misbehavior, but the child may see them as “time-out jail”, which is something to be avoided, rather than a necessary consequence. So for me to be effective in helping you set up a good consequence for misbehavior, I would need to learn more about your family and what you’re trying to accomplish.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "ok so they might be ok once in a while?", "role": "user" } ]

I want to find out how much it is worth?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "So, you have a valuable baseball card, and you want to know how much it is worth?

The dish is popular in the Lake Victoria and Lake Naivasha area.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Oh! The dish is sometimes served in restaurants with chips. If you’re ready for the recipe now, it’s called Samaki wa Chip. The ingredients are chips, cooked beans, onions, and tomatoes, plus the chopped fish and lemon juice. The order is to first mix all of the ingredients except the fish and lemon juice in a bowl. Then to add a bit of cooking oil to the frying pan, and when it’s heated to a boil add the fish. After 5 minutes the fish should be cooked and the mixture mixed with the fish. Finally you add the lemon juice and turn off the heat. Here’s the recipe and the translated directions.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "That sounds delicious. Is it possible to skip chopping up the fish.

In the days before cars were common, there were steam powered automobiles with engines powered by steam, but they weren’t self-powered; they were steam powered. The very first gasoline powered car was the Benz Patent Motorwagen, which was patented in 1885. From 1890 to 1908, the companies Renault and Peugeot were the main inventors of internal combustion engines, but by 1908 internal combustion engines had reached a stable, reliable state. Around that time, other car companies started inventing their own internal combustion engines, so by the 1920s, internal combustion engines were very common.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I thought you were going to explain about automobile design and safety that I thought might include seat belts.", "role": "user" } ]

Palatalization refers to a shift from a sound in the front of the mouth to a sound in the back of the mouth. These types of shifts are actually quite common, as a lot of languages change their sound systems over time. Take the English words for “old” and “cold”. In Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon, or sometimes “OE”), these were pronounced as [a:dl] and [k:ld]. In Middle English (or “ME”), they were pronounced with a “d” that’s like a “t” (like in the “t” in the word “toy”), and [k]. But in Modern English, we now pronounce the “d” more like “t”, and the [k] has palatalized to a [t].

I think the tube example is a little different - it refers to an assimilation, where [u] tends to move closer to [a] (like in the vowel sound of “father”) as a result of being pronounced together with a consonant. Also, this shift happens from the Middle to the Modern English, not Old to Middle or Modern. Here’s an example:\n\n[Old] TIME [Middle] tima [Modern] tim\n\nThere are also other kinds of shifts you might hear, like in English there are words like “thought” and “kneaded” that were spelled the same way in Old English, but pronounced differently. These changes were related to the Great Vowel Shift, where /o:/ sounds moved from a more front position to a more back position. This resulted in things like /ā/ becoming [æ], and /e/ becoming [e].", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I thought tube would be a good example of a palatalization as the t makes a 'ch' sound", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Oh yes, that’s one example of velarization.
