    Because it was there.

    Education is extremely important.

        There was a tornado about 3 miles from here yesterday.

        We had big black clouds, heavy rain and hail and big wind.

        No big damage here so it was just fun to watch. I spent the day picking up leaves and branches.

          Rubik's Cube,

          There are some videos out there that show a pattern, when followed, solve the Rubik's cube. Are they valid?

          Yes. It’s all algorithms. They even published some back in the 80s when it first came out.

            Yea I was able to do the cube quite easily years ago. I’ve since forgotten all the moves.

              I could reliably beat two minutes at age 12-13.

              At the Rubik’s cube, that is.

                  Wasn’t sure if this goes here or the not appropriate thread. Maybe it’s just my dirty mind.

                                        actually, it's 2:59:59:20

                                        and AM is not needed.
