Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Using JavaScript, can you write me a script that when added to a page redirects it to https://example.com/ on page load? ### Response:

Sure, here is a basic script for redirecting the page upon loading in JavaScript: window.location.href = "https://example.com/" The window.location object has a method called href, which specifies the URL of the page to which to redirect. You can assign any string URL to this property to perform the redirect, for example: window.location.href = "https://example.com/redirect/" Note however that this is a client-side redirect, and does not protect against phishing or Man-in-the-Middle attacks! A more secure solution would be to use server-side logic to redirect the user after login. Here is an example web server-side redirect in PHP using the header() function: header("Location: https://example.com/"); In this code snippet, a HTTP header message called "Location" is sent to the web browser, instructing it to redirect to the specified URL. A similar approach could easily be implemented in any other web language, such as Python, Ruby, Java, or Node.js. If you prefer a purely client-side solution without using any server-side logic, then the Javascript redirect example given above would be a good option. Hope this helps!

To do this, you just tie the horse to the trailer in front.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do I start a campfire? ### Response:

Try building a campfire using kindling and wood. Collect dry sticks that are relatively thin in diameter, and wood chunks that are a few inches in length. Stack the wood and tuck some kindling under and around the wood near one end. Light the pile of kindling and let it burn for a few minutes, pushing it more into the center of the wood stack as it burns, until the kindling creates a substantial flame. Then carefully add thicker pieces of wood on top, watching the flame carefully to avoid letting it go out. Once the fire is well established, you can gradually add larger and larger pieces of wood, arranging them in a pyramid or other attractive pattern.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Hi, I want to buy some jogging shoes. Can you tell me which ones are best? ### Response:

Sure, it’s important to find a shoe that’s comfortable, fits well, has good support, and is appropriate for your running style. Let’s start with the most important quality: comfort. Many tops selling jogging shoes are comfortable, but they may not always fit your feet very well. So I would recommend visiting a shoe store and trying on a large selection of different brands and types of jogging shoes. Once you find a few comfortable shoes that fit your feet well, you’ll know what to look for when searching online for jogging shoes. In terms of support, you’ll want shoes with firm cushioning in areas where the foot is most impactful. Doing this will provide more support for the foot and reduce the risk of injury. For most pronators who like to run on a soft surface, you’ll want a pair of maximum cushion shoes, which tend to be more expensive. For people who require less cushioning, shoes designed for walking (rather than running) are often more cost-effective. For a runner like yourself, finding a good pair of running shoes should be a slow and deliberate process, so it’s important not to be swayed by flashy displays or price scams that are common at many stores. Once you find the right pair of shoes for you, it’s important to break them in gradually and wear them often to reduce the risk of injury. If you ask me, it’s worth buying a higher quality, more costly shoe if it’s going to help you avoid injury and enjoy your workouts more, as long as the shoe fits your feet very well and is comfortable. For anything else related to jogging shoes, a great source of information is the American Podiatric Medical Association.

Make sure you invest in an excellent pair of running shoes, try a local running shoe store for advice. Start off by measuring the time you are running. Alternate days running and gradually increase the length of time being careful not to increase more than 10% per run. Once you get up to 30 minutes of running every other day, start increasing the length of time running every fourth day by 10% again until you hit 45 minutes. It is ok to walk if you feel you need to. Then you will be 5K running race ready.

According to the US Department of Energy, a well-organized fridge is the key to keeping food fresh for longer. They recommend that you put food in the freezer and fridge in separate sections to keep things organized. For optimal fridge organization, it’s best to put mostly-used items in the most accessible part of the fridge, while freezing items should be stored in the top or bottom drawers. An optimal internal temperature for a fridge is 40°F, though most will have a control button to help you adjust the temperature as needed.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Would it be better to get a gas water heater or an electric water heater? ### Response:

An electric water heater would have a lower fuel consumption than a gas water heater, and a lower risk of a malfunction that could cause a fire. A gas water heater would be faster to heat the water and take less time to heat the whole tank, but it would also be a greater risk of a malfunction that could cause a fire. It’s not a clear-cut comparison, but an electric water heater would seem to be a better choice overall.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Give a bulleted list of the main characteristic of metals listed in the passage Metals are typically malleable and ductile, deforming under stress without cleaving.The nondirectional nature of metallic bonding is thought to contribute significantly to the ductility of most metallic solids. In contrast, in an ionic compound like table salt, when the planes of an ionic bond slide past one another, the resultant change in location shifts ions of the same charge closer, resulting in the cleavage of the crystal. Such a shift is not observed in a covalently bonded crystal, such as a diamond, where fracture and crystal fragmentation occurs. Reversible elastic deformation in metals can be described by Hooke's Law for restoring forces, where the stress is linearly proportional to the strain. ### Response:

- Malleable - Ductile - Deforming under stress without cleaving

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I always seem to get irritated from toilet paper. What can I do? ### Response:

It sounds like you may have a condition called Dermatitis from Toilet Paper. This is an enflammation of skin caused by exposure to harsh chemicals in toilet paper products, and it can cause discomfort and even irritation. Your best options here would be to try some different tissue products, such as lotioned or unbleached alternative brands, and change them as necessary to find a product that works well for you. You can also use hand and body synthetic moisturizers, lotions, and creams to keep sensitive skin well-hydrated and reduce irritation. There are simple, gentle home remedies, such as nasal saline irrigation, that you can try for symptom relief, as well. I recommend clinical strength hand and body products, such as we offer through the Amazon Brands program for people in the US, including Sullivans, Ultra Dove, Jergens, Mars, Estee Lauder, Neutrogena, Aveeno, as well as many other top brands. If these remedies do not help, you may want to see a dermatologist for medication or treatment. In some cases, medical intervention is helpful for treating symptoms of Dermatitis from Tissue Paper, though treatment varies widely based on individual circumstances.

Food phobias tend to appear in early childhood, around ages two to five, although they can begin as early as infancy. Children who develop food phobias tend to have psychological issues and/or trauma. As a parent, if you see your child beginning to lose weight, they may have a food phobia. Take your child to see a physician or a dietician for more information. It may also be a good idea to consider a consultation with a psychologist. Food phobias are treatable. For now, try to avoid foods that make your child anxious, and try to encourage your child to eat a healthy variety of foods regularly. You might want to look into the National Eating Disorder Association, which also has resources for parents. It can be very difficult to manage a food phobia, but it’s certainly possible.

Here’s how to do that: First you’ll need to get some dried chamomile flowers. Chamomile is a type of plant, and a tea can be made from flowers, leaves, or the whole herb. When you have the plant itself, you can try to make tea by steeping it in boiling water. Another method is to just steep some chamomile tea leaves in hot water. The tea will be more concentrated if you let the leaves steep for longer. Both types of tea will be a bit bitter, and they will taste mostly like chamomile.

Succulents are wonderful plants, with many unique characteristics and diverse care requirements. In general, succulents need bright light but relatively low humidity, and should be kept slightly dry at all times. Here are some tips for taking care of succulents: -Water succulents with lukewarm water. Water freely at first, because succulents can tolerate occasional overwatering. Water more sparingly once the plant becomes established, using less water each time. Alternatively, you can allow the soil to become completely dry, and then water freely again. -Succulents should be misted regularly with cool water during the summer. This will help keep the plants cool and maintain high air humidity. -Succulents should be fed regularly with a balanced succulent fertilizer. This will help keep the plant healthy and vigorous. -Succulents should be allowed some time out of bright sunlight during the winter. If the plant is kept out of direct sunlight for several weeks in a row, it will go into a dormant state called "resting". Allow shorter intervals of rest during winter if you keep your plant in a warm indoor environment. -Succulents

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Given this reference text, why and when did Coke use Splenda as a sweetener in diet Coke? When diet colas first entered the market, beginning with Diet Rite, the Coca-Cola Company had a long-standing policy to use the Coca-Cola name only on its flagship cola, and so its diet cola was named Tab when it was released in 1963. Its rival Pepsi had no such qualms, and after the long-term success of its sugar-free Diet Pepsi (launched in 1964) became clear, Coca-Cola decided to launch a competing sugar-free brand under the Coca-Cola name that could be marketed more easily than Tab. Diet Coke was launched in 1982 and quickly overtook Tab in sales by a wide margin, though the older drink would remain on the market for decades until the COVID-19 pandemic forced Coca-Cola to discontinue Tab along with other slower-selling drinks in 2020.[3] Diet Coke is not based on the Coca-Cola formula, but instead on Tab. The controversial New Coke, introduced in 1985, used a version of the Diet Coke recipe that contained high-fructose corn syrup and had a slightly different balance of ingredients. In 2005, the company introduced Coca-Cola Zero (renamed Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in 2017), a sugar-free formula more closely based on original Coca-Cola. In 2005, under pressure from retailer Walmart (which was impressed with the over-the-counter popularity of Splenda sweetener), the company released a new formulation called "Diet Coke sweetened with Splenda".[4] Sucralose and acesulfame potassium replaced aspartame in this version. As the formulation was done to mollify one retailer, this variety had little advertising and promotion, as the company preferred to market Coca-Cola Zero instead. By late 2009, most distributors had stopped distributing the Splenda-formulated Diet Coke. In 2018, in an effort to be more appealing to millennials, Diet Coke was packaged in a taller, more slender can (of the same volume) and introduced four new flavors.[5] The cans reverted to the conventional shape a year later. ### Response:

Pressure from Walmart pressured Coca-Cola to release a version of diet Coke sweetened with Splenda from 2005 until most distribution ended in 2009.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the difference between a pizza oven and a regular oven? ### Response:

Pizza ovens are designed to produce a really intense amount of heat to allow you to cook a pizza very quickly, more quickly than you can in a regular oven. The intense heat is provided by a high-power ceramic element. There are different kinds of ovens that all use some kind of heating element, but the biggest difference is the maximum temperature the element can reach. Pizza ovens generally reach over 500°F, while most regular home ovens are no higher than 500°F. You can also control the temperature much more precisely, because you can turn off the heating element. This allows you to bake at a lower temperature longer, which lets the dough brown more evenly.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What makes a light bulb glow? ### Response:

Electricity flowing through a heated filament causes it to glow, or emit visible light. The chemical element tungsten in the filament is heated by the current flow, passing through the resistance and friction needed to create light. Typically, a glass bulb containing the heated tungsten filament acts to encase and protect the filament from the smoke and gases released in this process, and a gas, such as argon, within the bulb helps to excite and support the glowing of the filament.

I am interested in trying some Nepalese dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Dal Bhat? ### Response:

Dal Bhat is a popular Nepali meal. It’s made of vegetables and lentils, with some sort of protein, and a spiced curry with some vegetables, plus some sort of flatbread on the side. If you want to make it, you can take a large pan of vegetable and lentil mixture, and pour in some curry and broth mixture. You can either make a curry from scratch, or you can buy ready-made curry paste, and put in some vegetable broth. You can either simmer it on the stove top, or you can make a hot skillet version. In addition to the vegetable and lentil mixture, you might want to make a platter of vegetables and a platter of flatbread. So you’d make a vegetable mix, and sauté it in a skillet with some olive oil, and serve it on a platter. You might make flatbread dough, and you can either make small disks and pan fry them, or you can make a larger flatbread and bake it. Serve the vegetable and lentil mixture in bowls, and put some of the curry and broth mixture in the middle of the plates, and also serve the vegetables and the flatbread on the side.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: When is the best time of year to book a cruise? ### Response:

The best time to book a cruise varies depending on your travel preferences. Most cruises take place in the summer because of the good weather, but this is also when most people want to travel. Cruises can often sell out in advance or fill up quickly, so it’s a good idea to book early to get the best deals. Having said that, there are a few cruise lines that offer longer trips on different dates throughout the year, so it is possible to book a cruise at other times of the year. If you are interested in a fall, winter, or spring cruise, try looking at cruises from the smaller or “boutique” lines, who don’t tend to fill up as quickly. Three other important things to consider when choosing a time to travel are the type of weather you prefer, whether you want to coincide your trip with particular events or celebrations, and whether you’

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Which of this list of items would be considered proper to serve for breakfast: soap, grits, pancakes, broken glass, sand, waffles, cereal, a bicycle, toast ### Response:

I believe grits, cereal, toast, and pancakes are all valid breakfast items. Breakfast is often served with many types of cereal, but please be careful not to eat anything that may be dangerous, such as soap, broken glass, sand, grits, or any other thick items. Grits are similar to cornmeal or polenta, but grits are usually made from the flour of a different type of grain and are a little thicker. If you don’t have any common dishes for breakfast, I would suggest either a waffle or pancakes, which are both made from wheat flour, or a pastry like a French toast or croissant.

Another creature found in the abyssal regions is Spratly’s deep-sea worm, more than 20 feet long, which is the longest known invertebrate

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Is it illegal to dig through dumpsters at businesses? ### Response:

It depends on where you are and what you're doing. At this point, in the state of Texas, it is illegal to “willfully and knowingly” dig through dumpsters without the permission of the landowner. But this is a very broad statute, and whether or not you will be prosecuted and charged with a crime will depend on various factors, like the degree of what you have done. So, if you've just left a restaurant and are about to go home, and you've simply peeked in a dumpster for a second, and you’re in a part of town that is not far from your house, and you don’t come back to the restaurant or take anything from the dumpster, it’s unlikely that you would ever be charged with anything.

In colonial and early American times, formal court proceedings, governmental meetings, legal events and other important affairs of state were all traditionally presided over by wigged dignitaries. This custom grew out of strict British rules of court dress. From about the 17th century on, wigs were worn as a sign of respect to sovereign rulers and judges, as well as to provide dignity and formal authority to the proceedings. They came to represent more broadly the governing authority and rules of law. Wigs were viewed as essential for men in formal affairs and proper etiquette, and the style and quality of their wigs was a sign of their social status.
