I can type in long text and it comes out clean, instantly, and without artifacting.

You have evidence for this, I presume? Why was it not posted?

modulo works, and you already have uint % uint which is also good (unsigned types are a bit easier to compute)

A peculiarity with me is that my circadian rhythm is closer to 25 hours on average. my sleep schedule "wobbles", slightly out of phase with the real day/night cycle. every day i rest later, and then rest a very consistent duration just as if I had a set bedtime and wake time on a 25 hour clock.

some bioforms already excrete fluid which may be useful for sanitation when mixed with a sufficient amount of soap, granted the soap has not been consumed prior to such an event
