Found to have a unique solution by blurglecruncheon.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.

29% with helper, IEL shows R3C1 to be a white dot (R5 C1-3 both way logic,) LL to solve.

Found to be solvable by line logic alone by dbouldin.

near or before 29% you can LL dot C10R5, which blacks C12R5, which dots C12R3. Aldege's puzzles are almost always LL solvable and often it's a sneaky solve...and the reason is kind of funny. He is a creator and not at all a solver. He modifies his creations until the automatic checker tells him it's LL solvable. It is frustrating in a funny way that he put out so many solves that were so fantastic without ever doing a test solve. I'm just thankful he took the time to make sure they were LL solves!

I see a cooking pot with a ladle scooping soup into a bowl, with a mug nearby. Or maybe it's chili, or oatmeal? All good options!
