How to advance from beginners method?

Hey all! I recently just began learning how to solve a Rubik's cube - just as a fun little skill to take on - and have now got the hang of the beginners method and doing that from memory.

I'm not very quick, however, and my best time is 1 minute 29s. I feel like there has to be something I'm missing, or a more advanced method to solving? Would anyone have any advice of where to look to progress from here and advance some more, because I am honestly clueless! Thanks!

Edit: Thank you all for the kind responses! I'm currently getting the hang of the F2L technique (so much quicker!!) 😊

Is it still worth paying for the student premium plan?

I've been paying for the £5.99 Spotify student plan for over 3 years now and it's been great being able to choose whatever song I want to listen to, make my own playlists, and most importantly not having ANY adds clogging up my day.

Recently I've just kind of stopped listening to music nearly as much, at most I listen for an hour a week, and now I'm starting to consider whether it's worth spending that much money a year at all. Whether it might just be better to cancel my plan and use Spotify over mobile data instead (which I pay £8.99 a month for).

That being said, I don't know if I can go back to the ads and not being able to actively choose what to listen to. Is there a separate, cheaper/potentially free service that would be more worthwhile to use? Just a guy trying to save up on as much money as possible in this economy. Thanks!

Cat won't eat cat food?

We just moved house on Friday, and my cat (12F) is extremely anxious, only really trusts me, so the move stressed her out. Now we're Wednesday, she's moving around pretty happily, purring, playing, drinking, using the litter - all good signs. Except, I don't think she is eating very much, if at all. I can't say for certain because my other cat is absolutely ravenous around food and will take anything she can find, but even after separating them she still will not eat cat food.

Today I bought an appetite supplement, didn't work. Tried a different brand of cat food, nothing. Try both wet and dry, won't touch it. It seems that she will only eat tuna and ham, neither of which are good for her nutrition.

I'm worried that she's more than happy to starve herself rather than eat cat food. As I say everything about her behaviour is normal, it's just this one thing. I'm worried about visiting the vets because a. That will stress her even more than she already has been and b. I don't have the funds to support appointments and tests and whatnot, should she need them.

So I'm looking for advice because this has all made me extremely anxious, what with googling and finding that if she doesn't eat, her liver can fail. Does this sound like just a case of picky eating that I can wean her off from, or something more serious that could be underlying it?
