[ { "content": "What are some creative ways I can save money on everyday expenses, I need five. ", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here are five creative ways you can save money.\n\n1. Join loyalty programs.\nOftentimes, people shop at the same places for regular purchases. An example is shopping at the same grocery store every week. If you are doing this, determining whether the places you shop have loyalty programs that reward consistent customers is well worth your time. These loyalty programs will allow you to gain rewards for future shops. In the long run, this can save you lots of money. If your grocery store doesn't offer a loyalty program, it's worth checking the closest one that does. Weighing up the cost of extra fuel and time to get there will help you to decide if it's worth trying somewhere new. \n\n2. Use cash-back credit cards. \nIf you are responsible with money and do not have problems paying off credit cards, look into getting a high cashback credit card. Like loyalty programs, this will help you get extra rewards for simply doing what you are already doing. Extra money with minimal extra work is always good when trying to save money. Often times you will receive cashback on just about anything, so using your cash-back card for all your purchases and then paying the balance straight off could lead to great returns over a long period. It is essential to remember to pay off your card as the interest you gain through not doing so will likely exceed your cash-back, leaving you worse off. \n\n3. Cancel subscriptions you are not using. \nCheck your monthly outgoings and see if there are any subscriptions you are not using. If you find any, it would be best off to cancel them. This will mean a monthly bill is removed, which is excellent as these monthly bills can add up to a lot over time. The quicker you cancel, the faster you save. Many TV or Telephone will even offer a lower rate to customers considering leaving. This means that contacting and informing them of your plans to leave could mean they offer you a significant discount to stay. Doing this yearly can really help to keep your bills down in the long run. There is no harm in saying you will leave unless your bills go down. They can only say no. \n\n4. DIY where possible. \nDoing DIY instead of hiring a tradesman can really save you a lot of money. These days it couldn't be easier to find tutorials and how-to videos online for most DIY projects. Ensure you watch these videos before purchasing any materials or tools to ensure you are confident in completing the task to a high standard. If you have a lot of time on your hands, this is one of the best ways to save money as you also learn a valuable skill that you can use as a second income. DIY doesn't just mean working at home, though. It can even mean taking your own coffee or lunch at home instead of buying it out for a higher price.\n\n5. Set up automatic payments for bills. \nLife is tough, and it's hard to remember everything. You shouldn't be charged fees when you forget to pay a bill. But unfortunately, late fees are a fact of life, and sometimes they can damage your bank balance. By setting up automatic payments for your bills, you can ensure you never get charged late fees or accrue interest on any account you may have. An added bonus is that this will save you time meaning you have more to make money. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

While many countries have implemented regulations to govern content moderation, the United States has relied on platforms' self-regulation. However, the real-world consequences of unregulated social media demand a more robust approach.\n\nInstances such as attacks on ethnic minorities in Myanmar and Sri Lanka, fueled by misinformation on Facebook, highlight the need for stricter content moderation. Similarly, false claims about the 2020 presidential election and Covid-19 vaccines circulating on social media platforms have had significant offline consequences, including the Capitol insurrection and increased anti-Asian harassment.\n\nWhile social media companies have taken voluntary actions to address these issues, their efforts could be more consistent and effective. Government regulation is necessary to ensure consistent and compelling content moderation. However, striking a balance between protecting freedom of expression and curbing harmful content poses challenges. Determining what constitutes unacceptable speech without infringing on free expression and defining who should be responsible for content moderation are complex tasks.\n\nSocial media platforms differ from traditional media companies as they primarily host user-generated content and have limited editorial oversight. The US Communications Decency Act, particularly Section 230, shields social media companies from liability for user-generated content. However, removing these protections could hinder innovation and discourage content moderation.\n\nCollaboration between lawmakers, social media companies, and experts is essential. Federal courts can establish exceptions to Section 230 to guide content moderation. Lawmakers could also set transparency standards and digital privacy requirements for platforms to maintain protection. Adapting our laws to the digital age will foster a safer online environment while balancing freedom of expression and the public interest.\n\nStricter regulations are needed to address the risks associated with unregulated social media platforms. We can mitigate the harmful effects of misinformation and hate speech by ensuring stronger content moderation, protecting user privacy, and fostering a safer digital environment.

I figured, if no one else was going to invent a dishwashing machine, I guess I'd have to do it myself. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll start at the beginning.\n\nIn 1850, a man named Joel Houghton patented a wooden machine with a hand-turned wheel that splashed water on the dishes. Joel made a great effort, but every housewife knows that gently splashing water on dishes is not enough to get them clean. Then, in the 1860s, a man named L.A. Alexander invented a machine that allowed a user to spin dishes on racks through a tub of water. A mild improvement, maybe, but still not enough to get the job done. \n\nMeanwhile, I married William Cochran in 1858. The next years were a wild ride as William became a very wealthy merchant of dry goods and a politician in the Democratic Party. In 1870, we moved into a mansion! At one of our dinner parties, the servants chipped a few of our heirloom china dishes, and I was fed up. I knew there had to be some kind of alternative. Plus, I remembered what it felt like to wash dishes for hours every day as a housewife - and I didn't want one more woman to have to waste her time standing at the sink. \n\nI had a few ideas for a dishwashing machine, but I wasn't motivated to take them further until my dear William died in 1883. He was a man troubled by the drink, and he left me with numerous unpaid debts. I had to figure out how to continue on and find a way to support my family. I finished designing my dishwasher model and received a patent in December 1886. My dishwasher is the first one that uses water pressure instead of scrubbers to clean the dishes. \n\nI unveiled the design at the World's Fair in 1893. I thought housewives would jump at the chance to purchase one, but it ended up being restaurants and hotels that bought my invention. I started a company to build my manually operated dishwasher, and later on, it became a brand that you've probably heard of - KitchenAid. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

Your physical bricks will be helpful in testing this out; it’s hard to evaluate the structural stability of a digital Lego model.\n-\tCreate play features. The Lego company consistently cites play features as their test-audiences’ favorite aspects. There are lots of great options on fictional spaceships. Try an opening cockpit and a separate opening cargo bay. If it’s large enough, consider a module that separates to become a ground vehicle or which opens up as a garage for a rover. If there’s enough volume, create a playable interior for the pilot, complete with a bed, kitchen, laboratory, etc. Or take a page out of old Lego designs and construct the ship as a series of detachable modules that can be mixed and matched. Play features are limited only by your imagination and available parts.\n-\tConsider the way your child may view certain features. Antennas may become laser guns or missiles. A minor round detail could be a refueling port or an oxygen recharging station. He may choose to tuck his favorite Lego dog into a bit of unused space in the design. Don’t be afraid to add detailing that doesn’t clearly serve a purpose to you but that could be assigned a function in your child’s imagination.\n-\tIf possible, work with a consistent color palate. This isn’t a must, of course, and often depends on part availability, but it can be a nice touch that makes your creation seem professional.

He wasn't the best at carpentry, but he'd dedicated most of his retired years to building sturdy tables and chairs that he donated to a local charitable organization. His craftsmanship was proudly displayed in homes around the state, a welcome gift for struggling families.\n\nOf course, that explanation simply wouldn't do for the townsfolk, who had already painted old Jeb as a villain—and a villain he must stay. After the break-in, Jeb roared at the teen to leave, infuriated by the breach of privacy. The teen would later report that the tables were for cutting up the bodies of Jeb's victims, and from that day on, Jeb was inundated with curious onlookers peering through his windows. The curtains may have stopped the peeping townsfolk, but no amount of fabric could stop the whispers that continued to spread around town.", "role": "assistant" } ]

She got the nest all ready for her babies. She made sure the webs were all nice and cozy for them and spent every day close to her egg sac. She would sometimes forget to eat, so her mate would bring her some food. The day finally came, and the babies were ready to come out. The egg sac burst open, and lots of little spider babies emerged. Priscilla looked in her egg sac to make sure that all the babies made it out and there was one little one that did not make it. She tried to nudge the baby, but it wouldn’t move. Priscilla was so upset that one of her babies did not make it. She became very lethargic; she stopped eating and would not drink any water. Amanda became concerned and tried to hand-feed her some water to keep her hydrated. Priscilla would just stay in the den where the egg sac was with the little baby. Her mate took over the parental duties to help the babies. One morning, Amanda went to check on Priscilla to see if she would eat, and she found Priscilla at the bottom of the cage, lifeless. Amanda was so upset. She cried for days but gained the strength to continue to care for the little babies and Priscilla’s mate in her memory. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

It makes foods that have no sugar in them at all taste like they're super sweet. The fruit itself doesn't have much sugar either, so they're great if you're trying to reduce your sugar intake, without losing that sweet flavor. \n\nBest of all, it's not habit-forming or permanent at all. It literally washes off your tongue and mouth surfaces with your saliva in a few minutes.

[ { "content": "Can you give me a short explanation of what this article says?\n\nHow a dishwasher differs from hand washing When you wash your dishes by hand, the water and soap stays still in the bowl or sink and you move the dishes around as you scrub them with a cloth or a brush. In a dishwasher, the opposite happens: the dishes and cutlery stay still in plastic baskets while pressurized jets of hot water shoot all around them. That means a dishwasher has to be sealed shut all the time it's operating or the water would fire off in all directions—all over your kitchen floor! A dishwasher starts its cycle by taking in cold water from a hose connected to the machine. Once a certain amount of water's sitting inside the bottom of the machine, a heating element starts to warm it up. The element is just a thick metal bar that gets hot when an electric current passes through it, and it gradually heats the water during the first part of the wash cycle. An electric pump takes the warming water and forces it up pipes in the side of the machine, which are connected to two spinning paddles. There's one paddle, made of metal, underneath the bottom rack of dishes and another one, made of plastic, under the top rack. When water enters the paddles, it makes them spin around much like garden sprinklers. As the paddles rotate, the water emerges from small holes in their upper surface. The paddles make lots of hot spinning jets of water that fire upward onto your dirty plates. (That's why it's best to arrange your crockery so the dirty surfaces are facing downward.) The bottom rack and the bottom paddle are nearer to the heating element so the water is much hotter in the lower part of the machine. (That's why you'll see some crockery items marked \"Top rack dishwasher safe\"—which means it's alright to put them in the upper, cooler part of the machine.) After the water hits your dishes and plates, it falls back to the bottom of the machine, where it's heated up once more by the element and pumped round again for another cycle. Water pumps around the machine for half an hour or so until all the dishes and plates are clean. A sieve at the bottom of the machine catches any large bits of debris (to stop the machine jamming up), while smaller bits (and food remains) simply flush down the drain.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Highlighting the difference between a dishwasher and handwashing, the article states that unlike washing dishes by hand, a dishwasher employs high-powered jets of hot water to clean stationary dishes and cutlery arranged in baskets.
