Anyone who has studied chess endgames has probably seen the characteristic W-manoeuvre of the knight in the bishop-and-knight versus king endgame. What almost every explanation glosses over, however, is how to get into the starting position for that manoeuvre. Usually, this is dismissed with a casual "drive the enemy king into the corner".

The Grundfos PM 2 pressure control unit is used to automatically switch water pumps on and off. The electrical connection to the pump is made using a Schuko (type F) plug connection. In my case, this connection had burned out and I had to replace it. This blog post describes how to do it.
There are quite a few similar tutorials on the internet that show you how to solve the cube with just one algorithm.
