FUCK I broke my 1500 day streak on my smart thermostat's daily jumble puzzle. The app is locking me out of adjusting my home temperature now because I'm out of gems. The word was SAVORY.
I hate to be the one to break it to you kid but we're all highly versed in the works of Peter Watts and Greg Egan

I just realized that you can use the "intelligence is compression" argument to argue that our digestive systems are intelligent independent of the rest of our brain and nervous system. Having a very productive morning over here.
