Welcome! Which cube did you get?

Does anyone do https://www.cubers.io/ weekly comps?

I haven’t learned full OLL either, missing all the dot cases and some of the weird cases. I think I have full PLL but sometimes, if I don’t cube for a few weeks, I forget some and have to relearn haha

I can plan a cross but I cannot track the first pair. Just can’t wrap my mind around x-cross. So I’m just trying to get better at look ahead these days.

Yeah, definitely something to be proud of! I think as long as I keep improving, even in the littlest ways, I’d be happy

CFOP. How about you?

That's great to hear! We're about the same age, always happy to hear people our age cubing :) I've been cubing for...maybe 9 years now? Seems like when I go to comps, most of the kids weren't even born when I started haha

I finally got a PB Ao5 after what feels like years!

3 hours before break. Wow.

Just sharing, this is from the guild, games to play while they’re on strike: https://nytimesguild.org/tech/guild-builds/

I’ve actually never gotten sausage after voting 😬

Australia (Sydney). A few years ago I went and there was a queue going outside the door and volunteers were telling people that it would take 30-45 minutes but to please stay in line. They were also handing out Tim Tams for people in line. I decided to try another polling station instead, which was 10-15 minutes walk away. There was no queue at all there so I was out within a couple minutes. So that one took the longest even though most of it was walking to another location. Wish there was a way to tell the people in that queue that other locations were empty.

I started a new job at a nice-ish office, next to a pretty fancy mall. On my 3rd day, my colleagues invited me to lunch at the food court of the mall. A couple hours later, I started getting nauseous and sweaty. Had to rush to the bathroom a couple times, which looking back I was lucky it was coming out of one end instead of two. After the 2nd time, I thought I'd chance it and rush home rather than having to go through another ~2 hours of this at the office. Luckily I lived close to the office back then so I was able to make it home. But in my rush I forgot to tell my manager, just told a coworker sitting near my desk I wasn't feeling well and left. I emailed my manager that night, telling him that I also wouldn't be able to make it in the next day. So my very first week at this job, I was only there for 2.5 days before getting sick for 1.5 days. Not the best first impression.

I didn't know until much later, but my manager told me that he thought I hated the job and was about to quit after a couple days.

I had to contact a service’s support which was email only
