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: is it cheaper to get a custom cut butcher block from a hardware store than one of their premade options
Assistant: The cost-effectiveness of a custom cut butcher block compared to a premade option can vary based on several factors, including material, size, and the retailer's pricing policies. Generally, premade options can be less expensive due to mass production, while custom cuts may incur additional costs for labor and materials. 

To provide you with more precise information, would you like me to look up current prices for both custom cut and premade butcher blocks from hardware stores?
User: will hardware stores cut a butcher block for you for free
Assistant: Some hardware stores may offer free cutting services for butcher blocks, while others may charge a fee for custom cuts. It often depends on the store's policies and the specific service you request.

Would you like me to search for information on which hardware stores provide free cutting services for butcher blocks?
User: single motor vs dual motor standing desk
Assistant: A single motor standing desk typically has one motor that controls the height adjustment of the desk, while a dual motor standing desk has two motors—one for each side of the desk. The benefits of a dual motor desk include smoother and more stable height adjustments, better weight distribution, and often a higher weight capacity. Single motor desks can be more affordable but might struggle more under heavier loads.

If you need specific comparisons or current recommendations, please let me know!
User: hevea butcherblock vs rubberwood
Assistant: Hevea wood and rubberwood are both popular choices for butcher blocks, but they have some differences:

- **Hevea Wood**: This is harvested from the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) after the tree's latex production has declined. Hevea wood is known for its durability, resistance to warping, and attractive grain. It is often considered more sustainable since it makes use of trees that would otherwise be discarded.

- **Rubberwood**: Similar to Hevea, rubberwood comes from the same rubber tree but is typically the wood used during the tree's productive life. It is also durable but may be less resistant to moisture compared to Hevea. Rubberwood is often seen as an eco-friendly option due to its sustainable qualities.

Both options can work well for butcher blocks, but if you have specific durability or appearance concerns, please let me know!
