… has upsides and downsides.
Upside: less competition for NR (that’s a joke, before someone says cubing isn’t about rankings)
Downside: All the cube stores are in the US
Upside: if you’re sub 30 3×3 you’re in the top 300 South Africans
Downside: shipping from The Cubicle is $44
No, I’m not crazy. I’m just collecting the simpler algs, the easy to recognize & learn ones (and the ones for those few cases you see, recognize, and then just DNF the solve to save yourself the effort).
During warmup, during class.
Let it be the first of many.
BTW if you’re thinking oh that’s nothing, it isn’t. I started megaminx six months ago, so yeah, I’m a beginner, so you have to let me celebrate even if it’s lame to the rest of you. The punctuation in that last, sentence sucked.
I found it on my desk, and I know I’ve seen there before, but I can’t remember where it came from.
10 Rubik’s cubes. R550 (+/-40USD). 20 sec. solves??
Apparently so.
Ten (plus a few extra) Terry Pratchett quotes that sound cool but will probably can never actually have personal meaning and really shouldn’t have been taken out of context. Mostly funny, but also including slightly creepy, inspiring, depressing and cynical.
What? Yeah, even I don’t think that’s a thing.
When I was nineish, I started writing a book about our three bassets at the time: Nelson, Molly and puppy Chloë. I spelled (spelt?) that last name ‘Cloe’, possibly because it is so irritating to get that e with the thingies on top (I can never remember the shortcut so I just copy-paste the whole word). Possibly because I was nine.
This is a post based on a Top Ten Tuesday prompt from That Artsy Reader Girl. Go check out the page for other posts, it’s really worth it.
So. Ten books with nature-themed/landscape covers? Easy.
I love my dogs. Who doesn’t? (Love their own dogs, I mean.) I try to write about said dogs’ adventures, in as humorous a way as possible, here. But sooner or later, well. Umm. Here ends the well-worded part of this ramble.
+ quick review
This is my second Top Ten Tuesday post. TTT is a weekly… thing where anyone can write their list on chosen topics, by That Artsy Reader Girl – if you liked this, or want to try it out, go check see it^! And yes, I know today’s Wednesday.
I’ve got quite a backlog of Chloë photos waiting to be used. I will probably use them on individual posts sometime, but for anyone who wants to get to know Chloë the basset hound/just bassets in general better, :
The uninformed middle-range cuber faces many challenges, starting with homework then gear and working up to international lockdown.
I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it, but I picked speedcubing again last year.
OK, so maybe I haven’t posted anything in more than a month. I’m really sorry. I’m just letting you know I’m still alive, despite the best efforts of homework.
As I foretold, this part of the year was filled with semi-strange humans and dropped food – but, by some miracle, the humans lost the Elf Suit. I wonder if that had anything to do with the Scrap of green chew-toy that I heroically Discovered and was Kind enough to share with Marshall…
Arggg! Only 24ish days to Christmas! Which means, inevitably, The Costume. There are good things and there are bad things about this time of year, the worst of which is certainly The Costume.
Back on the first day of August, so like long ago, I wrote about ordering Bluecrowne (Kate Milford) (although I was rambling a lot and so that might not have been clear) Even at the time I had been waiting for it to come. Well, now it’s Oct 14
