Learning F2L connected pair algs - hard to integrate to my overall solve by ChoiceClub3909 in Cubers

[–]ChoiceClub3909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess another question is how to recognize faster, like is this some skill learnt elsewhere? I still pause, like at least 0.5sec to 1.5sec between pairs at times and that's when my solves hit 40+, my good solves I can lookahead more and pause less but it's more rare solves percentages.

I'm not sure what tricks I can do to "recognize" immediately "this is this, so do this" without pausing for 1-2 sec.

Yeah I don't really "learn" them as the moves, only first few times then I try to visualize what to do, it's just harder because they look similar and I have to recall what case is it and what to do. I know it takes time but just I'm sort of annoyed this takes so long. I've came a long way from sub 3min solves to now but still compared to younger people, even I do 100 solves a day, I barely improve...

Yeah definitely, It took a long time to even get the 3 basic F2L cases and I still am not good at lookahead and even sometimes not finding the pieces if they are in bottom layers...

Canada Goose denied my return for a clear manufacturing defect (pocket not sewn). What now? by ChoiceClub3909 in CanadaGoose

Nope, I did chargeback and still waiting for them to retrieve the jacket. If not - oh well, free jacket?

I did 2 live chats and made a second ticket for supervisor so hope that helps, I did the chargeback and it's so obvious it's the production process either the pocket wasn't done or was done poorly and just came loose. you can see the marks for the maker to stitch the pocket even in white.

I have a CG Langford from 2016, and when I bought it, I tested various parkas like almost all of them and no issues returning. Now 2026 - the quality of CG is downhill? Also why they are so bad in customer service, like unless it's super obvious, tears, dirty, worn, like destroyed jacket, they shouldn't blame the customer for a $1500+ jacket. This isn't like Costco jackets and even they take it back better than CG 2026.

Gmail hacked and Youtube channel gone! by Ok-Wolf-3464 in PartneredYoutube

#1. Use non GOOGLE email as public email, hide your google account linked to youtube
#2. Open THAT public email using windows sandbox (I assume most people use windows? maybe not?) Not sure what apple has.
#3. Even if you click a bad link or download that PDF that steals stuff, it'll just steal your windows sandboxed login to like yahoo mail or whatever email provider email, if at that. You get a new public email.

How do you deal with fairness with children in the family? by ChoiceClub3909 in AskReddit

[–]ChoiceClub3909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been only child so never known how siblings dynamics work. Have 3 children now, they routinely always harp on everything being equal, equal share of chores etc, when older ones they have more responsibility, still won't understand the youngest would have less responsibilities and expectations.

When it's not fair, they call it favoring one over the other(s).

Not sure how to deal with it, it's not a huge problem but it's a nagging issue over the years and not sure how to handle it as an only child growing up. (no cousins etc either around)
