re:lrt - chatted about this with Spouse, he explained why that's a pretty much pointless avenue of system attack, it wouldn't work against the kind of sequencers he works with at all, and points out that it's still a lot easier to just hack the server running the sequencing software from its network connection. so, Crime Genes aren't a thing yet.

dreams
bunch of semi-random stuff; the one good bit was walking along a raised roadway and peering into a hawk's nest, at the four hatchlings there (one of which looked like a soft pink armadillo??), and then watching the parent hawk swoop down to a nearby house that had the front door open and calmly walk-hop inside. it was in there for a minute, then flew out and back up to the nest with a whole fish in its claws, and I laughed. maybe consider a screen door to keep the hawks out? XD

got a bunch more sleep, feel better. not sure what to eat; need to eat *something*, but concerned that anything I put in there is going to cause another apocalypse. yaaaay
semi-dreamed (dozed off while fantasizing and lost control) that I got myself uploaded into a robot raptor body in the Questionable Content universe. that was very nice. at one point I was telling someone that a friend of mine had uploaded into a flock of small birds... (obvious Accelerando shoutout)
gross body stuff
(for those of you keeping score at home, the answer to that question was "lol no")

back from store! not too badly overheated, though it was much warmer than I was expecting, especially in the direct sunlight (I really should have taken my hat), and taking a shower and turning on the air conditioner as soon as I got home seems to have helped. but! groceries got! oh and I need to call Costco to get this Rx refilled, I will do that now!
