What you said was fine, the meaning was totally clear to me at least.



Your attitude on ss is really annoying. Don't be that condescending to anyone (like you have been plenty of times after and before your ban), let alone someone like Mike, please.

How was I being condescending? I use m2 comms witha UF buffer.... Mike made the point that he chose his buffer because he could perform m2 like commms from it.

More of a memo accomplishment, but I tried memoing a deck of cards this morning and almost got it all right.
The deck that I memo'd wasn't actually a full deck - realized that when arranging the second :P it was only missing 4 cards though. I made 3 other mistakes though, but they were simple ones, like remembering Diamond Club (golf club made of diamonds) instead of Club of Diamonds, so my order was swapped on 2 things, and then the third mistake was just that I had one set of images (a car with a sash around it) in the wrong location in the journey. I had it a couple images after where it should have been.
Pretty good first try though, I'd say. :)

When I forgot my corner memo, I used process of elimination to figure out my targets after a couple minutes and got a success!

Good job! I do this regularly. It's a very useful way to dramatically increase your accuracy. Unfortunately, it also means your average successful solve time gets substantially worse. :)

My accomplishment related to this: lately I've been getting quite a few solves where I've spent 15 to 20 seconds doing this, and I've still wound up with sub-1:30 3x3x3 BLD solves. That's amazing to me! (I guess it helps that these are usually sub-20 memorization times. :))
 
Avg5 and avg12 are PBs. Also great accuracy:

Part of my warm up for the BLD race:

Mean of 3: 56.602
1. 57.429 F2 U2 R2 F' D2 B L2 F2 D2 L2 U L2 D B2 U2 L' D' R2 F' D'
2. 51.507 U2 F' L2 D2 B' U2 B2 L2 F' D2 F' U' R D2 U2 R U2 F R' F' L'
3. 1:00.869 F2 R D2 B2 L' B2 D2 L2 B2 L' F D U2 L U' B' D R' F D U2

=D

Should have broken my PB Ao5 too, but I choked and forgot about twisted corners.

EDIT: BLD race not updated yet =(. Hopefully I'm still having good solves when it is.

Perhaps my proudest solve ever, for a few reasons.

22:02.91 [9:12] F U Lw F' L' R' Dw' Bw Uw' R F2 L' Bw Fw2 Dw' Lw F2 Bw Rw Lw L Dw2 L' Lw F' L' Bw' Uw L' Fw' Bw2 Rw2 D Lw' Bw Rw2 Lw2 Bw2 U F U' F Dw2 L' Rw2 Fw2 B2 D' Fw L2 Fw' R2 D2 L' Fw2 B2 L' Rw U2 D2

1. Used nothing but commutators for the wings. First time I've ever managed this!
2. Messed up the centre memo and forgot a letter and didn't realise until I'd solved the +-centres and started the t-centres. Instead of quitting, I had to spend (about 3/4minutes??) recalling which x-centres had already been solved, whereabouts within the memo I had left it out, and the consequences of missing out this letter. Eventually I worked out that I needed to solve a pick up cycle of (AH).
3. This ends my 5BLD dry spell after 3/4 successful attempts this week. :)

I now feel I have made the leap from using mostly brain dead algorithms to mostly intuition when solving blindfolded now, and it feels great.
 
Improvement! :D
1:10.69 PB

Also first ever competition coming next weekend... :)
Exciting...
Pretty sure I'll just get 3 x DNF in comp though :P
But now I'm happy

Oh, forgot the scramble:
1. 1:10.69[23.16] D2 L2 B' D2 L2 B2 U2 F' L2 U2 F2 U R F2 L2 F R' U2 B2 R

9 edge targets in 1 cycle (2 edges solved) and 8 corner targets in 2 cycles (0 corners solved)

Off work sick today, so I decided to finally upload this from a while ago. I've deleted the scramble since, but it was legit.
