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: best remedies for sore throat
Assistant: There are several effective remedies for a sore throat that you can try:

1. **Warm Salt Water Gargle**: Mix about 1 teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water and gargle several times a day to help reduce swelling and discomfort.

2. **Honey and Lemon**: Add honey and lemon juice to warm water or herbal tea. Honey has antimicrobial properties, and lemon can provide vitamin C and help break up mucus.

3. **Stay Hydrated**: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, herbal teas, or broths, to keep your throat moist and relieve irritation.

4. **Humidifier**: Use a humidifier in your bedroom to add moisture to the air, which can ease throat dryness and pain.

5. **Throat Lozenges**: Over-the-counter throat lozenges can offer temporary relief by soothing the throat.

6. **Warm Tea**: Herbal teas, especially those containing ingredients like chamomile or ginger, can have soothing effects.

7. **Rest**: Give your voice a break and get ample rest to help your body recover.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it may be advisable to see a healthcare professional.
User: is coffee an irritant for sore throat
Assistant: Yes, coffee can be an irritant for a sore throat. The caffeine and acidity in coffee may exacerbate throat discomfort for some individuals, leading to increased irritation and dryness. Additionally, if your sore throat is due to inflammation or an infection, the heat of hot coffee could further irritate the throat tissues. If you are experiencing a sore throat, it might be advisable to opt for warm, non-caffeinated, and less acidic beverages instead.
User: where should boxer briefs sit to not put pressure on bladder
Assistant: Boxer briefs should ideally fit comfortably around the waist without being too tight, ensuring they sit just below the waistline. This positioning prevents unnecessary pressure on the bladder and pelvic area. The leg openings should also provide enough space without constricting the thighs, allowing for freedom of movement while maintaining support. If you find that your boxer briefs are causing discomfort or pressure on the bladder, consider selecting a size larger or choosing styles with a softer, more elastic waistband.
User: how many hours apart should meals be to keep muscle protein synthesis levels up
Assistant: To maximize muscle protein synthesis, it is generally recommended to eat meals containing protein every 3 to 5 hours. This frequency helps maintain elevated levels of amino acids in the bloodstream, supporting recovery and muscle growth. Spacing meals too far apart might not provide sufficient support for muscle protein synthesis, while eating too frequently can lead to insufficient digestion. Individual factors such as workout schedules, personal dietary needs, and overall calorie intake should also be considered. It's often beneficial to include a source of protein in both meals and snacks to optimize muscle recovery and growth.
User: an antibiotic im taking is causing a mild allergy should I keep taking it
Assistant: If you are experiencing a mild allergic reaction to an antibiotic, it is crucial to consult your healthcare provider before making any decisions about continuing the medication. They can evaluate the severity of your reaction and determine whether you should continue taking it or switch to an alternative treatment. In some cases, a mild reaction may be manageable, while in others, it may require immediate discontinuation of the medication. Always prioritize medical guidance in such situations.
User: should you trim your beard to all the same length
Assistant: Trimming your beard to the same length can help achieve a neat and well-groomed appearance. Here are a few points to consider:

1. **Uniformity**: Trimming to the same length can create a clean look, especially if you're aiming for a specific style or trying to maintain a polished appearance.

2. **Shape and Definition**: Depending on your facial shape, trimming the beard to the same length might enhance its definition. However, some styles benefit from varied lengths.

3. **Maintenance**: Regularly trimming your beard to a uniform length can help prevent split ends and promote healthier growth.

4. **Personal Preference**: Ultimately, it depends on your style preference. Some people enjoy the look of a layered beard, while others prefer uniformity.

In conclusion, trimming to the same length can provide a tidy look, but feel free to experiment with different styles to see what suits you best.
User: how many mg of caffiene will impact sleep
Assistant: The impact of caffeine on sleep can vary widely among individuals, but a general guideline is that consuming caffeine even six hours before bedtime can potentially disrupt sleep. Most people can tolerate around 200-400 mg of caffeine per day without significant adverse effects. However, consuming more than 400 mg, especially later in the day, can lead to sleep disturbances for many individuals.

For context:
- A typical cup of coffee contains about 95 mg of caffeine.
- Energy drinks can vary widely but often have similar or higher amounts, sometimes exceeding 200 mg per serving.

If you're sensitive to caffeine or struggle with sleep, it may be beneficial to reduce your intake and avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening.
