America just ended a 30% tax credit for solar and I was thinking about how that would affect solar companies. Of course it only took a few months to raise the price of fossil fuels by more than 30% tipping the scales ever further in favor of renewables.
I'm not a self sufficient and renewable as I want to be, but I'm making progress not burying my head in the sand.
I think hard mode lowers my median score but increases the odds of an X/6.
On a typical puzzle the constraint forces me to be more thoughtful about my guesses. No playing fast and loose with consonants until I feel I know my vowels.
On a ⬛🟪🟪🟪🟪 with 4 letters that fit and 2 guesses left you could guarantee the solve without hard mode but instead you face a 50/50.

✨Someday✨
Someday you’ll forgive the lesson
that made your hands tremble
and back away from an eager heart.
Then grace—your own—at last
unbuckles the shield
and lets longing come home.
Someday
you’ll reach again without singe or soot,
eyes closed in quiet,
not to count the seconds.

Can you factor the number 21? How about 15? If I told you that quantum computers factored 15 in 2001, when would you guess they factored 21?
The answer is that 25 years later they still can't do it. No quantum computer has factored the number 21.
Why the hype? It isn't major breakthroughs. It is VCs marketing so they can flip worthless companies to idiots.
Basic factoring is taught by 5th grade in American schools. An average 5th grader has a better chance of stealing Satoshi's coins with their brain than a quantum computer does.
