Does this infuriate anyone else? Sh*t happens and sometimes things break. We always replace and keep our customers happy. I don’t need an AI slop garbage truck load of Law & Order text to let me know.

Tempted to reply “this is a system generated email. Our ant spam/bullsh*t detector has detected you have used AI to generate this email and it has been returned and is undelivered.”

Tempted, but I won’t. Just needed to rant.

Hello, please see my previous post in this sub. Several people asked how many there were in total so I counted them up and there were 190. Swipe for close ups.

I left out the ones with the shield and the Britannia(?) lady.

Taketaketake have a beta version of their app available in browser and it works really nicely. I played a nice 15 minute rapid.

Drop me a line if you'd like to gain access

After interesting games or moments I can post a game to my feed. It encourages you to review games and revisit them. The whole way this is set up really helps you improve.

My Blitz rating has gone from 1000 to 1400 since I started using Taketaketake

Hello, I happen to have acquired loads of 50p coins that are all unusual and probably considered collectible to a degree. I really don’t have the time effort or inclination to sell them one at a time and wondered if there are bulk buyers out here and if I could expect perhaps twice the face value for the whole lot.

I started photographing them all individually and then got a bit bored because I don’t really know if it is really of any interest to you guys. I have been through them in the past and there are all different types. No, there aren’t any Kew gardens. There is a 1997 50p which looks normal in the whole lot and I don’t quite understand why that one is there.

I’m worried about selling them on eBay because there’s always a chance that the buyer would try to scam me.

This isn’t a for sale post. I’m just looking for advice and to find out the best way to do this. Seems wrong to just spend them.

If anyone is interested, would like to take them on please drop me a line. I’m a real person and I live in the Scottish borders. Happy to take a video call to show you them.

Thanks.

I’ve been playing daily since 2020 and a line five sacrifice, when you have a missing letter that could be one of many is not at all uncommon for me. Would be a fun additional badge.

Play like Magnus in the first 2 minutes 40 seconds. Go full Botez gambit while in time trouble.

(I won btw)

Love the Benoni. Love that i can share action replays to my feed

2.5mg - 11 weeks

5mg - 13 weeks

7.5mg - 10 weeks

The blip upwards was a holiday out of country where I forgot to pack my pen. Got straight back on trend though

The 7.5mg has been extremely effective. I can see myself staying on this for at least two more months.

I make sure I eat enough a day (1000-1500 kcal) and aim for 150g of protein a day. I take vitamins daily. I’m acutely aware of pancreas & gall bladder problems so am doing my best to prevent by losing weight slowly.

Side effects: most notable is mood. I’m not unhappy per se but I’m definitely more ambivalent. There’s an urgency in life I’ve always had that is gone. I worry about this. I also get an ocasional pain in the hepatic flexure.

My target is 78kg (BMI of 25)

AMA.

Whoever you’re voting for- get out and vote.

What should Zhu’s follow up been?

I played bb7, which is an okay move in itself but to have rb8 explained is super useful for this newbie.

Today Magnus posted his game against Nils Grandelius on the TTT app. I’ve read this is the first time he’s played the Benoni in a classical setting since he was 9 years old.

He won.

This is such a cool update. Post up to 7 moves in an action replays from your games. I’ve used it to memorise a position in the London I keep falling for.
