I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

    Okay. Unrelated and it’s driving me insane.

    How do I do line breaks for lists like that? If I do two hits of Enter, it acts like a new paragraph in total. But I can’t get it to just jump down to the next line, it just follows after the one above it as if it were continuing a sentence. Bwah!

      In Markdown, if you want a paragraph break, then whack Enter twice. That is, this:

      foo

bar

      Gives this:

      foo

      bar

      If you want a line break, then add a backslash or two spaces at the end of the line, and then hit Enter. That is, this (you can’t see it, but two spaces after “foo”):

      foo  
bar\
baz

      Gives this:

      foo
      bar
      baz

      When I’m doing an actual list, I generally prefer to do either an unnumbered or numbered list, though.

      * foo
* bar

      Gives this:

      • foo
      • bar

      And for numbered lists:

      1. foo
2. bar

      Gives this:

      1. foo
      2. bar

      It doesn’t look from that like Markdown is buying you much with the numbered lists (traditionally in Markdown, numbered lists were auto-renumbered, which is IMHO a bad idea and is one feature of Markdown that is not implemented here), but this gets useful if you want to do lists with multiple lines, which is done with a four-space prefix on successive lines:

      1. foo\
    My dog adores foo.
2. bar\
    Some cats fancy bar.

      Gives this:

      1. foo
        My dog adores foo.
      2. bar
        Some cats fancy bar.

      I just press enter

      Leave a space in the blank line here then press enter

      There you go, break in the paragraph.
