ao50: 1:30.711 → 1:29.984
ao100: 1:35.732 → 1:31.896

Not really much of an improvement if you compare with my weekly comp results, but more like I haven't done many solves in the past few months, so breaking ao50/ao100 was just a matter of spending a few hours to do them. Replaced 5 or so of my L3C comms with faster ones and I'm messing with colour/order neutrality for F2L/S2L. Most of my sub-1:25 solves in this session are still with my old order of solving, though.

Edit: also broke PB single (1:11.x → 1:09.83) while doing the weekly comp lol.

ao50: 13.x → 10.559
ao100: none → 11.691

I used to think skewb was dumb, then I realised it was Sarah's beginners method that I disliked. Might try to grind out a sub-10 ao100 some day.

18 tps on an RUL alg sounds pretty legit...
In all seriousness though, 2x2 UWR single is not really a thing. I can promise you there are a decent number of people who have a "single" better than this but haven't reported it because they understand it isn't necessarily an accomplishment.
Not meaning to be a debbie downer, but it just turns out this isn't really something that anyone other than you is going to be excited about.
