I wake my echo and then grind coffee beans.

That’s likely the path that I’ll end up taking. Everything hue related that I have is Zigbee.

I’ve pooped in your soup and removed the poop when you got angry. You’re still gonna eat the soup, right?

Make yourself a mod and patch with revanced and you can still see nsfw content. For now.
