operation #automail update:
the operation was successful and my arms are now (partly) titanium. it still hurts a bit and i still do most things one-handed.
speaking of one-handed: i can now fairly reliably solve my 3-by-3 cube with one hand on about ~6-8 minutes. two-handed my times were ~1-3 minutes.
what's next? learning Haskell? beating Jevil?!? the answer is a clear maybe 😎.
