  1. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    I probably eat 400 gms of carbs every day. Breakfast every day is 1.5 cups each of raw rolled oats and frozen berries soaked together overnight in the fridge like muesli. Cold breakfasts are goldin Florida. I also eat some dish made mainly of beans or lentils every day and those are loaded...
  2. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    Do any official dietary guidelines have an RDA of Krispy Kreme? Statistically you and the many other people who do change their lifestyles are outliers. Of course you can't take my argument seriously if you ignore critical terms of it. Good luck long-term with the four fast food beef...
  3. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    NL, I totally get where you are coming from with all this carb-hating Nutritionism. But if you tell Americans to eat fewer carbs most of us will order a bacon double cheeseburger and leave the bun. The diabetes incidence here is an absolute slow-motion holocaust of amputated limbs, blindness...
  4. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    I'm also not 100% convinced the shutdown will net take lives. Road deaths are way down for one thing. But even if shutdown does kill more than virus, we should realize that in an affluent society like america any deaths resulting from an economic disruption were a societal choice and not an...
  5. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    All of these arguments have an embedded assumption that the only two disease outcomes are death and being totally fine. Do we actually know that? Anyone who has had shingles knows viruses are not always really gone when you think they are gone.
  6. Lost in choice of rubber

    Do you have access to a coach? With your disability it could be better for you to play pips out. Long pimples backhand and short pimples forehand can be a very strong combination. And both pimples are good for playing close to the table which means you have to move less. Just because pros...
  7. Mizutani super ZLC and Dignics 09C

    They are both top of the line Butterfly products so they should go together like beans on toast.
  8. Reverse engineering chinese dominance

    It was because black goes with everything. ITTF are style mavens.
  9. Reverse engineering chinese dominance

    So maybe the more interesting question is, what do the tiny number of non-chinese pros who can seriously compete with CNT A have that allows them to do it? I suppose Ito has killer serves, a weird game to the point of uniqueness, and relentless attacking attitude. Timo has ? Is anyone...
  10. Reverse engineering chinese dominance

    So if Europe could only field one team, and all the players had to compete for say five places where you get to play international, only the most successful coaches get to work with the Euro team, etc, would that close the gap? Or halfway closed because still more than twice the population in...
  11. Using analogies for learning strokes faster - Got any good ones?

    Did they have a control group who were simply shown demonstrations of how to play without confusing mechanical instructions or analogies? Imo the analogies were more effective because they are marginally less irrelevant and distracting than detailed instructions. That still leaves analogy as a...
  12. Bat balance

    It's good to keep in mind we are talking about a few grams here. Der's example between 93 and 88 grams is like the weight of an ordinary wedding ring. If you take off your ring to play you have shifted the balance of your arm towards the elbow by five grams. It won't change anything. A few...
  13. Better rubbers+blade won't make you better right?

    Why don't you play a match using each other's equipment? Then he should win, right? Maybe he wants to make a small bet on it?
  14. 10$ rubbers

    That is kind of what the Williams sisters did, although.it was their dad who decided they would be top pros. But they were small children then, not 15.
  15. 10$ rubbers

    Honestly you might be better off buying used rubbers from older players. Or they should give them to you really. But to start out here is a $9 rubber. I don't know about mailing to Brazil. If you say where you can order from, nice forum people will look there and suggest what you should buy...

  17. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    Very interesting baal, as always from you. Any thoughts on false negatives?
  18. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    I don't get the seasonal flu comparison. Everyone doesn't get the flu in one year. So even if the death rate (and death is not the only bad outcome) is *lower* for Covid, it still makes sense to take extreme measures to limit the spread until we have a vaccine. Because if we don't essentially...
  19. SARS-CoV-2; CoVID-19; Coronavirus; Updates and Information

    Nice try, but 34 million americans are diabetic, and seeing people all around us missing feet or legs, riding in motorized chairs, etc., has made zero impact on the overall dietary habits of the population. So it would be surprising if many people reacted that way to Covid. Lije you say, good...
  20. TenniRobo vs Joola Infinity

    Two differences to consider: Joola robot is designed to be fixed at center end of table, like a Newgy. If you want to place it anywhere else you lose the catch net. Tennirobo is designed to sit on a tripod and be placed anywhere. For example so serves come from where a human would stand...
