The only reason I go to Reddit anymore are the credible defense megathreads. It is the last subreddit that has not been taken over by partisan botfarms pushing an agenda.
Iām into home automation and self hosting services and the only time I go to Reddit is when a Google search of something Iām researching takes me there.
I donāt log in (which sometimes fucks me, weed subreddits for example need a sign in for ages verification) so if I have to log in I just nope out, and I will actively try to not use Reddit if I can help it.
Long answer is also practice, but with information lol.
I spent a long time moving from 2 look to 1 look (oll and pll) using this website jperm.net/algs/pll Iāve linked the PLL but thereās OLL there too.
On this page I learned as many of these as I could. You can click on the picture and change the status from unlearned to learning to learned, then go to the trainer and you can select those 3 statuses and it will show only things youāve selected. You can also click on the alg to get alternatives or even put your own alg in.
So Iāve gone to that page and set an alg as training, then just practiced that one alg until I have it in muscle memory. I aimed at trying to get each type of alg learned, so corners are there, or middles need moving, or headlights are there, or even that there is no pattern.
I was advised to learn PLL first then OLL algorithms, but I kinda picked out the patterns I see most in both, or algs that seemed the simplest first. So I have been learning both together and working from easiest to remember to hardest, and also making my own up for the ones that are most complicated.
This meant that I could practice a few, then go and do solves and when the patterns I knew came up Iād get faster solves for those patterns.
Ok so thatās the big time saving out of the way, takes a lot to learn all the algorithms so itāll take time. But thereās also taking time to plan your cross. That can save you a good chunk because thereās less head scratching when you start.
Then thereās the look ahead, which Iām only just getting. I did a lot of slow solves to get this in my brain and itās quite big. This is what Iām practicing to get from my 40second average down to 25
So as youāre solving a corner and edge into the corner, once you have it set up into a 3 move insert, you donāt need to look at it anymore. Itās 3 loves to insert, so instead of looking at it as you put it in, you have to train yourself to look for the next 2 pieces youāre putting together.
While your learning the OLL and PLL and just doing solves (not training algs), when you get one you donāt know, try and alg you do know on it. Sometimes this changes your top pattern to an easier pattern that you can solve. Itās like a stopgap 2 look (pll or oll). Eventually as you learn all the algs youāll find that you can āwing itā with some of the harder algorithms by just doing a couple of easier ones, which is all the harder ones are anyway, a couple of easier algs with a connecting move in the middle.
Hope all that helps. Iād also advise you have a ātravel cube.ā
I have an extra cube that lives in the pocket of my leather jacket (yes Iām a metal-head Dad, doesnāt quite fit the stereotype does it?) and it comes in useful when Iām stuck in a queue, or at the Dr waiting room or A and E (or emergency care as itās called in the US). This allows me to cube instead of whipping my phone out when I have time to kill out of the house.
Iāve blocked one page thatās posting mostly in Russian, one page thatās posting mostly in Croatian, and beyond that a number of overrepresented, locally US centric ones. About stuff like the NFL or the Bay Area.
Wouldnāt it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with āone account to rule them allā solution?
Youāre getting downvoted but youāre right. If they joined the fediverse that means you can have an account on any other platform you choose, including one you own. And that one account can access all the content everywhere. So basically youād get all the perks of YouTube but few if any of the problems.
My instance doesnāt really have enough traffic to browse locally anyway, so I mostly see my subs to start with. If I was going to block something here it would be the endless bunnyposting. Even the Oklahoma stuff is mildly interesting in the volume it comes through.
