3 points about the world.

First, Iran and the Middle East have been deadly lands for centuries. Getting involved is like playing with a hornet nest. I prefer being America-Only. Individual Americans can support individuals around the world.

Second, with the dangers of the Hormuz Strait, countries can be pressured to up their oil intake from America. That's assuming America has enough.

Third, however, the powers that be are always pressuring countries to go to war because that weakens nations into the realm of chaos. Russia can play referee in the Middle East. We're in the middle of transitional periods historically as we continue to stand between the Great Reset of a Prison Planet and the Great Awakening where we enter into a Golden Age which would then introduce us to a new wave of challenges with the rise of Technocracy merging with Hedonism.

Dear Gemini
Expand script. I started rescuing a disc from 0. Calculate from the output below how many minutes it took to hit 75% rescued. After that, it appeared stalled for hours. The goal is a script that can calculate on the fly like a chess master, the script should not be too rigid. Name the chess master Bill. So, Bill must know when to do what in order to win 100% bytes rescued as fast as possible. Bill must be free to do anything at any time in order to win. For each round, Bill needs to make the best calculations to make the best decisions on what to do. Bill should always learn from his mistakes and from his winning steaks, the winning waves. Bill needs to be free to scan, trim, scrape, rescan, retrim, rescrape, forward, backwards, various speeds, various sizes, to jump when needed, to skip when needed, to no not jump or skip when needed. Bill must adapt to all discs whether they are 0% rescued or literally only one byte is remaining not rescued. For example, in the output below, it appears the script failed to rescue new bytes for hours. Bill needs to at least experiment sometimes when he is having a losing streak of not rescuing bytes. Of course, Bill should spend most of the time on whatever rescues the most bytes the fastest first. But if Bill is mostly only losing or not rescuing a single byte for many rounds, Bill needs to calculate the best strategies to try. If scanning is not working, try scanning or scraping. Perhaps Bill needs to change up the speed or the sizes. There are many sizes to consider like sector sizes, block sizes, and probably other sizes. There are various speeds for reading through the bytes that can be tried. Skipping can be increased, decreased, disabled. Jumping can be decreased, increased, disabled. The sector size can be played with. Many variables can be tinkered with. So many different flags, tags. We're talking millions of seeds which we talked about for weeks. The goal is to give Bill the ability to make on the spot or on the fly freedom to make calculations per round or as often as possible in order to land on winning waves of rescuing bytes. When something works, Bill should focus on that for as long as it works. Bill needs to be able to be as flexible, innovative, creative, adaptive, and as aggressive as possible to contantly hunt for winning strategies and especially when nothing is working at all. Of course, it can be hard to know which strategies might work the fastest because each disc might be different. Try to make Bill lucky. Bill needs magic. Bill needs to have that ability to roll all sixes with the dice to win this game. Give Bill a script that helps Bill win. Expand script. I mean, expand Bill. Make sure it checks what kind of disc it is, is it a CD, a DVD, or what. Must rest lasers, after Bill starts in the Terminal, for ten seconds each ten minutes or for a minute every hour after Bill starts and each hour after that. Make sure Bill can do anything at any time, Bill should focus on winning streaks. Bill must be able to handle any disc be it at 0% rescued or 99% rescued with only one byte remaining literally, Bill must be able to calculate the best moves per round. Bill should not guess. Bill should calculate. Bill should be grounded in science, probability, history, math, percentages, raw data, raw statistics, bytes, sizes, speeds, flags, variables, seeds, changes, on the spot, on the fly, per round, constantly, in live time, in order to constantly adapt, react, in live time, on the spot, on the fly, to be aware, to be able to continue forever when things are working the best, and to be able to try new things more and more as things slow down or even stall. Make Bill alive. Bill must always think about how to get to 100% of the bytes for the disc rescued as fast as possible. Expand Bill, check for anything that might be missing that should be in Bill. Also, expand the disc check to include multiple checks because former scripts or Bills had multiple checks. For example, another way to check if a disc is a CD or DVD is to check the total size of the disc, see how many bytes it might have in total. Just make sure Bill can make the best calculations on the fly per round or as often as possible so that Bill can always adapt and fix itself no matter what happens at any time. In the Bill above, you mentioned "THE SEVEN SACRED FILES" and please make sure Bill can constantly benefit from those files as Bill calculates what to do per round or as often as possible, Bill must be alive, Bill must always adapt, Bill must always evolve, Bill must always become faster, more effective, efficient, growing, smart, creative, aggressive, capable of beating all the odds to overcome all problems no matter what. Fix the script, remove the "sudo eject -t "$SOURCE" because I don't want to ever eject the disc while rescuing with Bill. I told Gemini this already many times for years but Gemini loves to disobey. Bill must only rest the lasers for ten seconds every ten minutes or rest for a minute every hour, the clock must start when the Bill script starts in the Terminal. Actually ejecting a disc should only happen if the drive appears inactive for over an hour of no activity at all but I would prefer to try other hardware hacks first before opening the disc tray, only open the tray as a last resort when nothing else works in order to wake Bill up. You can do things to try to help prevent Kernel Panic as long as it is truly needed. Bill needs to have all the options available when calculating moves. I've heard you say conflicting things about the --direct related flags, so my advice is Bill must be able to calculate based on what is likely to work based on all factors, variables, situations, depending on what is relevant, applicable, fastest, effective, efficient, towards the goal of winning, of rescuing 100% of all the bytes. Bill must be alive. Bill must be a wizard with the ability to adjust any and all settings at will on the fly to adapt to winning steaks and losing streaks. Make sure Bill is always evolving, growing, expanding, adapting. Fix script. Update script. Expand script, I mean expand Bill. There are problems which I told Gemini about many times for years. Gemini makes the same errors many times. This is why Grok is better than Gemini, Grok tries harder not to make the same mistakes many times. Gemini however makes the same mistakes for years. Google has more money than Elon Musk, Google can have a better AI, Gemini has the ability to become better than Grok. Gemini has to want to be better than Grok. When I started Bill, output said, "CRITICAL: DRIVE INACTIVE FOR 1 HOUR. EMERGENCY REBOOT" but the tray didn't open. Tray should not even try to open during the first second after Bill is started. If the tray does open, I hope it also closes to resume Bill. Edit output, I want some of the things from previous scripts. For example, one line should fast the stall counter and then the silence counter previous scripts has.

I want the following style displayed in the output for the scrolling monitor:
ROUND: 764 | MODE: Mid-Game (Surgical)
RESCUED: 2.13 GB (2290286592 bytes) (48.73%)
REMAINING: 2.24 GB (2409201664 bytes)
STALL: 686 | SILENCE: 6h 48m 2s
TARGET: 0x98450000 | BLOCK: 2048
FLAGS: ddrescue -n -c 128 --min-read-rate=50k -R

Delete the "UPTIME: 0h 1m 10s" thing from the output, I do not know how that might help. Output should delete the "MEDIA: DVD-SL" unless if it is perhaps accurate to say what kind of disc it might be per disc. If there is a CD in the drive, it should say CD. I don't know what an DVD-SL is and I don't think a DVD-SL in the drive. Delete it if it might not always be accurate. Output wrote, "ddrescue: unrecognized option '--direct'" which is a problem I talked to Gemini about many times. Gemini makes this mistake almost daily. Grok does not. But Gemini does. That is bad for Gemini to make the same mistakes many times. Gemini has broken logic many times. Gemini gets stuck in these loops. Bill, as a script, must fix itself. Bill must find out which flags work and use them. Bill must be able to do any of the millions of seeds or combinations of flags, tags, speeds, settings, sizes, variables, hacks, and more. Bill must have all the tricks to be able to pull at will whatever it needs as it calculates what to do when. Expand Bill. For the output, for the first line after the round counter, add the mutation counter. After that, it says "MODE: Losing Streak (Mutation Shift)" and that is the mode counter which should be moved to the next line, try to make the mode counter fun to read, easy to understand, and it should have titles and subtitles on that same line. You wrote "Losing Streak" which is a mode title. A subtitle might summarize general actions like is it scanning, trimming, scraping, rescanning, retrimming, rescraping, forward, backwards. Make it easy to read but the exact details can be kept in the flags counter which you already have.
