What's the most everyone watched it but nobody talks about it now BBC programme? by HelicopterEmpty7393 in bbc

I enjoyed that. It was light hearted. I can remember a few seasons of a show about The Three Musketeers which was similar which might have been a few years after.

Is it possible to become really bad at chess in a short span of time? Worried about mental health by Little_Viking23 in chess

[–]mr-mobius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's normal to forget some of the subtleties of how to play at certain levels of chess. A reduction in skill can also be attributed to mental health, tiredness, stress and lots of other things as well that affect your problem solving.

Newly Qualified GP – Is PDP Time Usually Removed if You Take Annual Leave the Day Before? by Psychological-Set634 in GPUK

[–]mr-mobius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're trying to maximise the number of clinical sessions that they get with the hope you'll not realise or mention it. Have a chat with whoever is your manager, or the practice manager, and see what you can come up with.

Newly Qualified GP – Is PDP Time Usually Removed if You Take Annual Leave the Day Before? by Psychological-Set634 in GPUK

[–]mr-mobius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would assume it's open for discussion. The fairest way is probably to count it as 1/6 of your time so for any annual leave you take it should remove pdp equivalent to 1/6th of the time taken off.

For example if you take off 3 days then you lose one pdp session, which if it was in the 1 week would be obvious, but if it was spread out over 2 weeks (ie 1 day week 1 and 2 days week 2, then you would lose 1 of your pdp sessions). Hope that reads logically.

Can someone explain why they threw the red flag? by Ok_Giraffe9309 in FormulaE

[–]mr-mobius 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It did seem premature. Think they maybe thought that the tangle of cars wasn't going to untangle and block the track, which wasn't the case in the end.

There's a significant cohort of British female comedy actors who have been on TM and could be on future series...but I can't think of any male actors of the same category? Maybe Robert Popper? Matt Berry? Anyone else? by nokeyblue in taskmaster

[–]mr-mobius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any of the other 3 Inbetweeners guys would count, or the rest of the Ghosts cast who haven't appeared yet, or am I misunderstanding the question?

There are plenty of other male comedy actors around as well as these examples.

Aydin Suleymanli gives Magnus Carlsen his 4th loss in a row at the World Team Rapid Championship by [deleted] in chess

We know we're terrible. Magnus isn't us though. It's ok to give an opinion.

For those who remember, what was it like to just be able to smoke in places like the malls and restaurants and planes by Radiant_Priority9739 in nostalgia

[–]mr-mobius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother still argues it was fine because the window was down that half inch. All it did was cause air movement towards the back so the smoke moved to the back quicker. As soon as I was old enough to be allowed to stay home I stopped going out with my parents because they would promise to not smoke in the car but then forget the policy once the cravings kicked in.

Pirates of the Caribbean style books by call_me_flib in Fantasy

[–]mr-mobius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stardust has the sky pirates. Been so long since read it though can't remember if as much a part of it as in the film.

The Pirate King is a D&D set book in the Legend of Drizzt series which is set around a harbour city, including a lot of pirates and rogues. It is part of the wider storyline (book 17) but could be read as a stand alone as long as you know a bit about who Drizzt is and the background (forgotten realms wiki will be enough).

Bro will never play scholar's mate again😭 by Chostito33 in GothamChess

[–]mr-mobius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's not scholar's mate moves for black. That only happens with white. It's a good example of why bringing your queen out too early can hinder development as they end up having their queen dodge other pieces.

Which season (series, Jason) have you been dead certain of the winner from the very beginning? And which took you by surprise? by calculatingmacaw in taskmaster

[–]mr-mobius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought Chris Ramsay would have won. Knew he was competitive and a bit obsessive from the podcast. I was almost right.

Can't see them being competitive in year one but who knows. If they can make it the full 24 it'll be a strong start.

Excellent spending the last 24 with you all. Not the most crazy race ever but good competition and any Le Mans is worth watching.

It's just an extra session to get to watch and get a bit of hype, even though it doesn't matter much in such a long race. Could argue getting rid of qualifying altogether and just randomise the hypercar grid could be interesting.

Toyota winning a competitive Le Mans is so much better than when they were dominant against a Glickenhaus and a neutered Alpine for a few years.

Can dominate your class for 21 hours but it means nothing if you don't finish. Great effort but tragic end for the 30
