User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: i have a standing desk frame and I am wondering how to position the legs on a 48x24 desk top. How far in should the legs be from the sides and should they be centered front-to-back (they are C-style legs not T-style)?
Assistant: For a 48"x24" desktop with C-style legs, positioning the legs correctly is important for stability and aesthetics. Here's a general guideline:

1. **From the Sides**: Place the legs approximately 2-3 inches in from the sides of the desk top. This allows for adequate support without interfering with the edges of the desk.

2. **Front-to-Back Positioning**: The legs should ideally be centered front-to-back. Therefore, you would position them about 12 inches from the front and back edges of the desk, which provides a balanced appearance and sufficient legroom.

Make sure to adjust based on any specific weight distribution needs and the design of your particular frame. It's always a good idea to refer to manufacturer recommendations if available.
User: do you need to use masking tape when drilling pilot holes
Assistant: Using masking tape when drilling pilot holes can be very helpful but is not strictly necessary. Here are some advantages of using masking tape:

1. **Prevent Splitting**: Placing masking tape over the area where you plan to drill can help prevent the wood from splitting or splintering as you drill the pilot hole.

2. **Marking Points**: It can serve as a visual aid to mark the exact spot where you want to drill, ensuring accuracy.

3. **Reducing Slippage**: The tape can help prevent the drill bit from slipping on a smooth surface, allowing for better control when starting the hole.

While it's not a requirement, using masking tape is a common practice that can enhance the quality of your work. If you're drilling into softer materials or materials prone to damage, it's often a good idea to use it.
User: for a standing desk frame with C legs, if its almost centered front-to-back but a couple cm off, would it be better to have those extra cm towards the front or back of the desk
