The "1:1"-scale is a nice, dark touch.

Did you know that Prince Andrew was responsible for sinking the Belgrano?
It was struck from behind by a tall paedo.

The Belgrano had a long & interesting service history.

I know she was moored at Pearl Harbour when the Japs attacked.
I presume she stayed in the Pacific theatre but I don't know much beyond that.

Was just reading up on her. That ship had a long and illustrious career in The Pacific as the USS Phoenix, then was ultimately sent to Philadelphia where she was decommissioned & laid-up until she was sold to the Argentine swinehund in the early '50s.

Yeah I'm pretty pleased with it. Cheers
I noticed some links were a bit worn, so I replaced the tubes and pins on the most worn links with some spares I had.

Did a 1 min 10 sec solve on the cube yesterday.
I hadn’t timed myself for a while but do 10-20 solves a day just to maintain the muscle memory. The last PB I had was 1.34 so was a significant drop! No new algorithms, all just increased speed.
