ITTF suspends all activity until the end of April. https://www.ittf.com/2020/03/13/ittf-suspends-activities-provisionally-end-april/

If we get the Akira bikes, then maybe it's all worth it?

£1500. Nice.

Nooooo. Unlucky for WMY if she has to retire here. She was right in it.

Yes, that's all we can see - the handle hasn't changed. But the top ply is still a light colour, so he's not using the Legacy Carbon at the moment, which was the point I was responding to.

Yaaaaas Pitch. Solid performance.

It's going to be easy to spot because of the top ply colour. Looks like he isn't using it in Qatar, so probably just some marketing from Stiga: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ittfworld/49627950398/in/album-72157713389417233/

Great match. Can't wait for the next episode of the Xuzy Show.

Hahahah it's getting tense now.

I could watch Gauzy v XX all day. They should have their own world tour - just the two of them, visiting every table in the world. I'd watch it.

There is the risk of a screaming arms race. I just don't think it's a good look for the sport from a viewer's perspective, but that's just me. But it's been said so many times that I'm sure most are just flat bored about it now. Regardless, it's been a great tournament so far under difficult...

One person's fighting spirit is another's annoying distraction. But as you said, it's all personal taste.

It must have been hard for you - not being able to entirely enjoy TT tournaments for so many years. Thankfully Harimoto came along and filled the "scream at the top of your lungs almost every point you win" void in the sport you needed.

I think the composition will be: Black sharpie Viscaria Black sharpie

I understand your points, but they aren't new. This kind of moral/situational relativism has always been around. You can always say to the police - yes, you caught me jaywalking, but what about the shoplifter over there? And then the shoplifter can say - what about the owner of this store who...

We all have bias - it's unavoidable - and Baal has hit some of mine here. I'm very focused on the mortality aspect because I'm a high risk case myself. And I forget how lucky I am to live in a country with socialised health care, so I don't have to worry anywhere near as much as you guys over...

This is still a superficial comparison, and you need much more data to make anything useful about it or else it becomes a misleading over-simplification. Which is why listening to experts and evaluating their advice on the evidence they present is the less risky option, in comparison with basic...

You can compare anything with anything, that doesn't make it a useful comparison. It's just an emotional/political response. Not useful in the grand scheme of things. For example - drunk driving, as far as I know, isn't a communicable virus. Declaring a state of emergency about drunk driving...

This is a good point. The 64-80-05 convention just allows you to judge playing properties within a specific range of rubbers (so comparing Dignics to other Dignics). Comparing them to Tenergy just means we're back to the "this one is closest overall to" type of vague handwaving, which I know...

"More dangerous" is an interesting statement, potentially hiding a lot of complexity. What's the death rate of Type B? How does that compare to corona? How does that death rate change across different risk groups (age, existing health conditions, etc)? How do the treatment plan and outcome...
