Solve the Rubik's Cube (3x3) | You CAN Do the Rubiks Cube

I got to MIDDLE by myself, but now I'm fucking stuck and I have decided (because of Linear Algebra) that I fucking hate all math for all time and hate life and the universe because I hate math so much and I am angry that I suck so bad at math and that there is so much terminology and minutia, all of which leading to absolutely nothing. It infuriates me. Thus the Rubiks also infuriates me. I am going to quit computer programming because of this. I am too old for this shit. Maybe I should leave my wife too, and run away from home. This whole life is getting me really down right now.

RT @mrbromwich: I have been in and around DOJ since 1983. I have never seen a case dropped after someone has pled guilty and the underlying facts demonstrate beyond any shadow of a doubt he is guilty. This is simply a pardon by another name. A black day in DOJ history.

Behind every Trump attack is self-revelation. Every counterpunch is a self-punch. @gtconway3d: “Because he fears being revealed as a fake or deranged, he’ll call others fake or deranged. Because he fears losing, he’ll call them losers instead.”

Wow! Noise is a secret killer of performance. A 10db noise increase (from a dishwasher to a vacuum) drops productivity by 5% - but most people don't notice since it impacts cognition, not effort. Also, note that noise is greater in poorer neighborhoods...

What Happened to Val Kilmer? He’s Just Starting to Figure It Out. - The New York Times

By now I understood that the story I was telling about Val Kilmer, which I’d thought had been about a man’s relentless faith and optimism, was really about reconciliation: the squaring of two opposing things into something we swear is true despite all evidence to the contrary. Your beauty can sentence you to misery; Val Kilmer uses a tracheostomy tube, but he can talk; his brother is dead but only to our senses. Mark Twain despised Mary Baker Eddy, until you can will him into a dream where he doesn’t. God is good, and there are no ventilators. My beautiful friend has cancer, and the treatment exists, but it’s unavailable to her right now.
