CubeCast Podcast Thread - Episode 24 released!

[ChrisBird]

Well I can see where you are coming from if you were to ask that purely from an interested standpoint. You see that Rowe and Faz are speed solvers, Chris is epic BLD etc, and you were possibly thinking maybe Sarah had something awesome about her that seperates her from the rest (she does).

But the way you phrased it made it seem like you thought she had nothing to contribute and therefore was a bad decision for the show. This is what made people upset with your question.

If you were in fact purely interested in what could be unique there are a few ways it could have been phrased better. But if you posted it with the intent to state she has nothing unique to add, you did the right thing, and the shitstorm to come with it.

What can Sarah Strong actually bring to the cubecast?
Mike, Chris, Faz, Rowe all have specialist areas that they can talk about

But with Sarah I can't really see it

What did Joey bring to the cubecast?

No need to get defensive or bring anyone down. Everyone knows 04mucklowd is incapable of thinking before he acts. Ignore him.

Practice what you preach buddy.

"No need to... bring anyone down"

And then

"Everyone know 04mucklowd is incapable of thinking before he acts"

Awesome.

Hm. I knew this was coming. I thought I had improved on this a lot. I havent insulted anyone in a while and I havent been posting useless things. Actually I havent been posting too much these days anyway. And was it you who tried to make a list of people who are mean at comps?
edit: I never actually gave him a lecture on what to do and how to improve himself. I just stated my opinion and told Sarah to ignore him.

lol.

Sa967St: Do you think Gaétan Guimond is serious about what he posts?

 

[waffle=ijm]

I think sarah would be great on the show. She's one of the few female cubers that actually do "well"

She's used to have the WR for most DNFs at competition. Hence the old nickname, "the DNF Princess"

 

[jiggy]

I think she'll be a great guest. Lookin' forward to it!

Nuuuuu, irrelevant. I was called that long before that happened.

I know that. I was simply saying that you kept up to your name by getting said record.

The point of the podcast: inform the listeners, discuss, and generally have fun. If the guest happens to have a specialty, that's just another thing to talk about. If I were to limit the gusts to only "specialists", the show would only be like 8 episodes long.

I only bring on people who I believe will be a great addition to the show. In my opinion, I haven't been wrong yet. I hope you guys will continue to trust Thom and I to keep bringing you a great podcast.

Yes.

He's not.

Actually, he is serious about his posts. He might not present that in a clear way, but take the time to watch his videos or read some of his posts and you'll see.

The heart of the cube is the 8 corners because it's number can not change.
Pure system http://pages.videotron.com/toulou/gaetan/

The cube popularity took a dive after hungary budapest championship of the world in 1982. The return in competition after 21 years was the world championship in toronto canada in 2003. Exactly had the same place at the science fair my web page photo that I placed on my web site that I took on the national championship of 1982.

The name of my domain rubikscuberecord.com and I'm the only one to have solved the cube blindfolded. If you don't believe in the one that has brought back the cube you will have to answer to the irreversables evidence. Contrary to it's return in 2003 in the store where the cube sales were influenced by the championship wich was not the case in 1982.

The cube is'nt musical (method & math) partition exchange only but it's has competitive.

The cube is a puzzle where the genius of the teenager's suffice to reach world records. I never said that it was not for children or adults because human curiosity has no age.

The emails that I kept in my reception box before 2003 from hotmail speak for themselves. Journalists outside the province of quebec never heard from me because the cuber's of my generation present on the web before 2003 never told my name with my story. People are sold by popular culture.

Doesn't seem like a good idea.
