Nice 30 move linear solution, although that pair 3-cycle looks like an insertion to me? Good domino solve nonetheless.

Not really linear, but also not quite an insertion: after "blocks" I did B2 immediately; then I saw I had 3 edges and 3 corners remaining and I could set them up to a pair 3-cycle, and that the first setup move convenientely cancelled with the last move.

Edit-
No way. I found a different ending to that that gives a linear 20.

Crazy stuff, these short endings are always hard to find (unless unless your name is Reto Bubendorf )

I noticed that you can just do conjugated T-perm to solve LL but that would be 1 move longer...

For anyone trying to get faster I always tell them to plan the whole cross in inspection so you could do it blindfolded with no problem.
This is pretty hard to do right away if you're not used to it like I was, but when I did some cross blind practice I improved a LOT. Like that is the #1 reason I'm sub-20 today.

And if you need notation for cube rotations I found this: J Perm Notation Guide @ 1:25 Hope that helps
