I don't like the label "progressive", but my general collection of views don't fit into any of the other possibilities.

Authoritarian - absolutely not.
Conservative - in some ways, maybe, but not in any way that counts.
Libertarian - fuck no, I like government.

For the record, my second and third guesses were outstanding. And wrong.

An obscure (and thus unlikely) second guess gave me the letter I needed to get it on the third.

Not the best strategy, but effective in this case.

Second guess pinned down where the first identified letters were. Made the third guess easy!

I've got to say that I'm really impressed by 3 Body Problem, 1.5 episodes in. They've really captured the spirit of the book well. A superb adaptation.

Better guesses today! Thank you, randomness.

I just tried to use Gemini and ChatGPT to find a book I read 40ish years ago. Gemini made up a novel by a real author, and then gave up; ChatGPT kept suggesting novels, lying about how it was related to my description each time. Disturbing how easily they just make shit up.

The best thing about Halo season 2 episode 7 is when the Master Chief gets his armour back. He still hasn't put his helmet back on, though.

Drama is okay, but FFS, this is Halo. The occasional battle with the Covenant would be nice.
