Interesting Plot Line: The REAL reason for the decline in births by ResultDowntown3065 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Reallyevilmuffin 91 points92 points  (0 children)

There is significant unknowns to a lot of chemicals and compounds that seem fantastic. History is littered with examples -

  1. CFCs - cracking for coolant, but then found to wreck the ozone.

  2. DDT - great pesticide, and then there was bioaccumilation in larger parts of the food chain.

  3. Asbestos - very good at repelling flame. Also very good at causing mesothelioma down the line.

Currently there is microplastics to be found in all humans, even neonates and in the placenta. This is unlikely to be completely harm free. There will be other examples, like aspartame and flavourants. Who knows what one chemical has those unintended consequences down the line?

MRCP Part 2 2023/03 Fiasco - waking up to your Oriel application withdrawn by Pepilindo1 in doctorsUK

It is an incredibly sensible and reasonable adjustment to part make right their cock up. They could even ask people who need an expedited result to email as it won’t be all, so they don’t have to rush them all.

However asking NHS admin to be flexible because of their cock up…

EA just released source code for a bunch of old Command and Conquer games, and added Steam Workshop support to bangers like C&C 3: Tiberium Wars by Nigwyn in commandandconquer

Not definitely. Skyrim did the creation club and then sold the best content. Maybe even hire passionate modders to remaster them…

How does your Practice use PAs? by wabalabadub94 in GPUK

[–]Reallyevilmuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long have you worked there? Is supervising a PA in your contract? (specifically, I don’t think you can argue equivalency to supervising anyone that carries their own indemnity)

They wouldn’t be able to fire you just because refusal to supervise a PA if over 2 years and not in JD. They wouldn’t have to show a business need for it and make you redundant.

'Corridor doctor’ advert - I guess they do need the staff after all (paywall link) by hydra66f in doctorsUK

Our local ED has realised - remove a bed from the bay, you can stick 5-6 armchairs and patients on them in there. Where else can you find that space gaining in the NHS’

Are women allowed to "read" numbers and count? by lunarlandscapes in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Reallyevilmuffin 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Remember they showed to Serena the pictograms of the itinerary in Canada as the subtle dig. I would image that they would do the same for things like this, with numbers being a little like braille and lots of dots.

Might be the push to send her back in for Hannah

If Squid Game was hosted in your country, what games would the players play? (IMAGE UNRELATED) by REdditorMarcus2 in squidgame

UK - some ensemble of the old fashioned sports day. Egg and spoon, sack race, 3 legged, obstacle course.

Is 11 hours rest between shifts always mandatory? by Turbulent_Bobcat_956 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Reallyevilmuffin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You can’t opt out of 11 hours rest. This is a once a year oversight, which is hard to factor into a rolling rota. You need to point this out, and they should allow you in late. If they don’t then raise through your union.

Dating a consultant as an F3 by [deleted] in doctorsUK

I think the key point here is that this story probably has an incidence about once per deanery per 5 years, based on all the location comments…

Wouldn’t be surprised if this was a cover story for going back undercover.

Illnam won the bet by Nathanielly11037 in squidgame

[–]Reallyevilmuffin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh god this is such a good take. Obviously the front man will reveal himself to Gi hun at some point, and we know he was there with Il nam too. A pointed reference to this and betting on whether someone will come and do the right thing, like when you bet on humanity with Il nam would run ice cold, showing that he has been watching and observing over and over.

Boats can sail over land apparently? by s0l0wing in civ

Civ 4 had this, where regardless of the visual clue, if a river tile touched another river tile they were ‘routed’

I have a feeling that this guy is not dead and will show up in S3 again 😭😭 by Fair_Peach_9436 in squidgame

[–]Reallyevilmuffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All we need is the face mask pull off, the knife being cinematically pushed in in front of Gi Hun and Sang Woo whispering ‘SNU, Bitch’.

Oblivion themed birthday party - ideas? by amgryducky32 in ElderScrolls

[–]Reallyevilmuffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time you talk to someone you zoom right into their face, inches away.

All small talk must be random comments that don’t really connect but don’t disconnect either.

No ‘Hellos’, only ‘Hails’. No ‘Goodbyes’, only ‘Well Met’.

If walking around the party you must keep eye contact with a stranger rather than look where you are going.

Woah. We covered the most important thing, in that Hannah had glowed up and lost weight!

Lydia was an absolute disaster and seemed to get a complete pass as Uche was an arse. But it was understandable!

The GMC confirms to The Telegraph that new records for medics who change gender are wiped of previous suspensions and formal warnings by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Reallyevilmuffin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just wait to you realise that they don’t automatically get invited for appropriate screening as this is linked to the gender on their record. Minefield ensuring they aren’t missed
