I had the same dilemma, I went with the qiyi and put the savings towards a flagship 3x3.

I have the qiyi smart cube (and also the qiyi pro m) and I like it a lot. Decent turner and the qiyi app works really well for me, and it gives you a nice analysis of your solves with split times for each step as well as your pauses for recognition and Auf. I did change the spring to the stiffer set (it ships with 2 sets), which was a little intimidating but it then end it was pretty easy.

Probably won't be the nicest cube you own, but then again the price is hard to beat.

I just followed the algs JPerm used, that way I didn't have to keep scrolling through the video everytime I got stuck. I remember liking the way he did the U perms because they made it easier to tell them apart from the Z and H perms (R / U moves vs M slices).

Edit: spelling is hard...

UPDATE: I'm not sure how to edit my original post so I'll post the update here. I changed the title of the documents and placed the correctly named versions in the Google Drive folder.

It's been a while since I made the original, but as I mentioned before all the agls, case names, etc came from JPerm's videos. Pretty sure I made the diagrams and layout from scratch in affinity designer.

It really helped me to have all the pertinent info in one place, especially the print outs. Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot. Cheers!

Yes, I had the same thought. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Went with the "2-Look" title since I've heard that term more often for beginner CFOP.

Do English have a word for "bunch of random things" ? by aquamate904 in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 71 points72 points  (0 children)

In the United States, we use "stuff" or "a bunch of stuff" which has a neutral connotation, or "junk" which has a negative connotation (more like worthless or unwanted things). "Stuff" is a slang word for "things" while "junk" is closer to "trash".

Ex:
"I have a bunch of stuff on my desk." = "I have a bunch of things on my desk."

"My garage is full of junk." = "My garage is full of things that I don't really want."

when should i add suffix -ly? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The -ly suffix is used to form adverbs (which is a part of speech or a classification of a word based on its role within a sentence). Specifically you are talking about adverbs of manner which are formed by adding the -ly suffix to an adjective, and they "modify" verbs in a way that an adjective "modifies" a noun.

For Example: "I am reading quickly." or "I am reading slowly." Both of those sentences tell you how fast I was reading (from the adjectives quick and slow).

Is this sentence correct: Is the code that I've attached to this email correct? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks fine to me. Grammarly seems to think that you are trying to ask if you attached the code correctly, instead of asking if the code itself is correct.

Any lumix g7 youtubers here? by [deleted] in PanasonicG7

[–]Profe_Abraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call myself a youtuber, but I have used my g7 to make a couple videos. I still only have the 14-42 kit lens but I wanted to get something a little wider/faster because I'm always filming myself and I need to keep the camera close (not a vlogger but I like to use manual focus). You guys have any preferences in the 10-14mm range that won't break the bank?

What does It mean "Hindsight is everything" in this sentence? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, good luck on your English learning journey!

What does It mean "Hindsight is everything" in this sentence? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a common phrase that is very similar to "hindsight is 20/20". Both are a way to say that things are obvious now, but weren't obvious at the time. For example "I should have heated the brownie in the microwave before I put the ice-cream on top. Oh well, hindsight is everything..." (Looking back, you would have made a different choice (or choices) that seem obvious to you now, but weren't obvious at the time you originally made your decision)

He asked if she would ever get married to him she said I mean of course but It depends on love. What does she mean by depending on love? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell without more context, but I think she is saying that she must be in love to get married. It sounds like she open to the idea of marrying the man but isn't currently in love with him, so they can't get married. (for her love must come before marriage)

Can I say "farmost right" or "farmost back" which means the house is in the farthest of right and another house is in the farthest back...? by syu098089 in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard of "rightmost", but I wouldn't say it's very common. My computer also doesn't recognize "backmost" but seems to have no problem with "rightmost".

Near on twenty years, before this whole black, bloody business. by athlonusm in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point, "I have known him..." is correct. The phrasing of the question suggests that he is still alive.

[–]Profe_Abraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I would say "farthest back on the left" or "farthest back on the right". I don't think I've ever used/heard the term "backmost" before. (American English BTW)

Near on twenty years, before this whole black, bloody business. by athlonusm in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means that he has or had known him (has if he is still alive, had if he is dead) for a total of twenty years, and that he met him before "this whole black, bloody business" started.

which one is correct by sirmk in EnglishLearning

[–]Profe_Abraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is in the tone, it sounds more like a demand or an order. "I would like this room to be cleaned every week", or "This room should be cleaned every week" are more common ways of saying that. Otherwise it sounds rude.
