Yikes!

Yeah, wind chill here tomorrow is gonna be -40F

Fun fact: -40F = -40 °C
Btw that is insanely cold

I plan to do another ao50 during this morning on 5x5, and then do an ao25 on 8x8 later this afternoon

Slight change of plan. Was only able to do 30 5x5 solves. Planning to do 7 8x8 solves instead of 25.

Its cold here, as you remember. The cold front is hitting a wall in my house that doesn't have insulation. My hands started hurting.

that has waaay too many 5's in it to be a real time

You might have, I haven't practiced 4x4 really. More like 5x5 and 8x8.

Not right off hand I don't

 

[artless1der]

just now I'm kinda leany
feels n like maybe you should learn HOYA

[edit:] btw both those times are ~1min faster than my PB

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I'm going to main @Michael Womack 's Maglev 5x5
I'm selling my stock one and the Valk 5, so I played around with the tensions. After loosening it by 1/8 of a turn on each side it works pretty well.
