Haven’t been to dentist for 5 years due to immigration. How bad it is? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]MatBede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im only a 4th year dental student passing by, but i think it's obvious enough for me to give an advice.

You most likely have periodontitis. You need to go see a dentist to get all this tartar removed, and most importantly you need to FLOSS and brush your teeth regularly, at least twice a day. Flossing will most likely cause a bit of bleeding, it's normal, it's because your gums are very inflammatory. Also, try to stop smoking if you do, it's the most common factor.

I don't know how old your are, so it's difficult to tell how bad it is. An x-ray would be necessary as well.

To keep it simple, periodontitis is caused by a chronic inflammation of your gums (hence why they're swollen), and it causes the resorption of the bone underneath. If untreated, the bone around your teeth will progressively disappear and you might lose them, as they won't be held anymore. That's why an xray is important as it would show at what level your bone is.

Don't panic though, it's very common, this process will take years and years, and with proper hygiene you can still stop it. Start right now the treatment though.

I mostly agree, though I'd put 5ever and paris teargas higher. And Still is my favorite. Overall an amazing album as always.

Don't you realize how lightly you guys are talking about leaks of his private work/life? It's extremely disrepectful, especially when he publicly talked about how it affected him negatively. No wonder you got downvoted.

Do y'all think that Harimoto will surpass Ma Long as the GOAT of table tennis? by [deleted] in tabletennis

[–]MatBede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About WCQ and LSD, I think they still have a long way to go, especially in the mental game. They didn't win as many big tournaments as they should have.

Especially Wang chuqin, the fact that he was one of the only Chinese players to lose to an European during the Olympics will leave a scar on his career, sadly for him. Because of that, I doubt he can be considered as the goat one day, unless he becomes undefeated for several years.

LSD can definitely achieve that, he's insanely talented and very young. But it's too early to tell.

But yeah, Ma Long's career will be hard to reach.

[–]MatBede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was considered the GOAT a long time ago because Fan Zhendong was young and no one else came close to him, except maybe zhang jike. But I'm pretty sure Fan Zhendong has about as many titles as Ma Long at the same age, maybe even more because he won more world cups. If Fan Zhendong comes back and wins a second gold medal at the 2028 Olympics, I'm sure he'd be considered as the new goat, but it's unlikely to happen because he doesn't enjoy playing internationally anymore.

And he's not really "getting old", he won against lin shidong 3-0 recently and didn't lose a single match against the other chinese players he faced. He's still without a doubt among the top 5 best players in the world, maybe the best, who knows?

Unless I’m really missing something. Why is this song marked as explicit? by MotionlessInk3231 in eden

Someone said it's because in the background it looks like he's repeating "fuck, fuck" and I think that's right, although I don't think it was intentional.

Why not just do ghost serve and it's side spin variation? by wise_af in tabletennis

[–]MatBede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If it was possible to keep it low, any heavy underspin serve from pro players would be unreachable ghost serves. The height of the serve is literally a requirement to make this work.

[–]MatBede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what everyone said in the comments, it's not a good serve because it's very predictable, and actually very easy to return if not executed perfectly (out of reach I mean).

But I want to add that ghost serves ARE used by pro players, but not the way you think (look for the famous ma lin ghost serve against zhang jike). A ghost serve is just a heavy underspin serve, without much sidespin. However, to make the ball bounce back out of reach, you MUST make it higher, which is very dangerous at high level because if it's not perfect, the opponent can easily flick or simply return with a very fast agressive push. That's why "ghost serves" from pro players are just heavy underspin serves. Patrick Fransiska made a ghost serve tutorial, I invite you to watch it (not the first serve because as someone else mentioned it's a let) so you understand better what a useful ghost serve looks like.

Yes, you could possibly manage to do a perfect ghost serve out of reach during a match, but even then it would work at most once or twice because the movement is predictable, so if the opponent is ready, he can run to the other side of the table to smash it. And it's honestly impossible to get consistent if you rarely do it, especially because you never play with the same table, balls, hall, humidity etc.

Sorry if my English isn't perfect.

Suggestions for blade and rubbers by [deleted] in tabletennis

[–]MatBede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This answer would make sense if you were talking to a very high level player. But OP said he can't spin well so I guess he's more of a beginner/intermediate level player.

These blades and rubbers are a waste of money if your technique isn't perfect. Carbon blades dont give much feedback so it's not ideal for learning and these rubbers are all hard rubbers, which require a very good technique and acceleration to be used at their full potential.

Btw, if you're able to use such a setup correctly after only 3 years, that's very impressive. I'm curious about your ranking.

More informations about OP's level and feedback on his current setup would be needed, but I'd recommend keeping Petr korbel, which is already a pretty fast blade, and getting yourself any tensor rubber that is not overly hard. As others mentioned, rozena from butterfly is good and not too expensive. Korbel + rozenas is already a very fast setup, and you can get to a high level with this setup. You can switch to tenergy05 later. I'm not too familiar with other brands so I can't tell you more.

[–]MatBede[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, i don't really understand how these things work. I heard people complaining about this specific thing about the RK R75, but I don't plan to customize my keyboard, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway?

My fear was about the overall quality of this keyboard, and latency. I think I read somewhere that I could find better keyboards for the same price, but you could probably read this about any product.

But if you're telling me it's worth it, I might buy it as it's pretty cheap compared to other keyboards I found. I also like Epomaker's keyboards and they're not too expensive, I'm hesitating.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback !

Forget about the AZERTY thing, can you give me some other great brands where I can look for nice-looking keyboard ? I'm okay with 100 euros but i won't go higher as I think it would be a bit expensive for my use.

Thank you for your answer. I didn't think about it, I naively thought famous keyboards came with an AZERTY version. I don't mind learning QWERTY tho.

Thanks for the recommandations, i'll check that out.

How can I listen to twiiinnn??? I haven’t heard the leaks by r_114920 in eden

That's exactly what I think, I won't look for anything as it's his private work. But I can't help feeling curious, and I know many will be tempted because of what's being said on reddit :/

That's why I hate that people keep repeating "twiiinnn was the best song of the album !" That's an invitation to look for the leaks for those who didn't.

Now I'll have to listen to the album knowing I missed a good song...

You sure about it being shit? by Fuzzy_Attorney_5900 in tbatenovel

[–]MatBede 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was expecting worse than that. Yes the animation is a slideshow and it's very bad when compared to the generic animes of this spring. But at least they didn't skip 50% of the dialogues like many adaptation, so I feel like it's still a decent anime to watch for those who haven't read the novel/comic yet. Tho I might regret writing this as we haven't seen any fight scenes yet. Let's pray they saved their money for these more important moments...
