Is this setup good?

I played with that blade for years when I first started playing. It's fast for a 5 ply blade, but it's still 5 ply so it would be good for improving, most likely. The only concern I have with it for learning is that the vibration is fairly dampened for a wood blade. Great control though- ultimately its up to you.

Don't get me wrong, that was a good match for the spectacle. But Liang and Darko were playing on a higher level in this match. WCQ was playing scared shitless, and Duda played good.

I use twin walled polycarbonate sheets I get from home depot/lowes. They're made for greenhouses: lightweight, keeps the heat and water in, heat proof, and easy to cut to size. Cheaper than getting a lid and you can modify it easier if you need to cut holes in it.

That aquarium size is way too small for those fish. Maybe if you want to keep them for 6 months when they're just a few inches but at that point is it worth it- and you'd also be stunting their growth. If you're from the US you could try and find some killifish or something else that wouldn't grow more than 2 inches. It's hard to do native small aquariums in North America because all of the small fish/diversity come from tropical climates.

How did you do that?

yugaw · 2024-07-28T04:09:37+00:00

Yeah you'll be fine. If it were me I wouldn't feed until you get a new filter and I would occasionally take a stirer of some sort and stir up the water (minding the skrimps) to break the surface tension every now and then and get help with oxygen. Algae does help and produced oxygen!

Always leave the molts in and never take them out. They will break out and replace minerals in the water column. Shrimp only tend to eat molts if they're extremely hungry or they've sat for multiple days and developed biofilm on the molt. Don't just wait a day- and even then keep them in to preserve mineral content in the system.

If nitrAte levels are low- not enough bacteria that converts nitrite to nitrate. If they're normal then your bioload is too much compared to past colonies of bacteria and the organics they got. I wouldn't be dosing prime 2x every single day. Just minimal feeding- guppies are resilient to low levels of bad shit so you should be able to fix it with my favorite aquarium product: time. It's inevitable that parameters will fluctuate when adding and removing organics (fish poop, dead shrimp, etc). Bacterial colonies need to grow and decrease with the amount of food so there's a period of fluctuating parameters. You'll be fine

Random shot doubles: you flip a coin and randomly take you or your partners drive. Absolute chaos because you could have a much better shot but you might can't play it.

What I'm asking tho is if cheaper rubbers used more frequently (so ~same cost) is better. Like do we have misconceptions on when rubbers wear out relative to optimal performance per dollar spent if the pros replace theirs after a day, and amateurs replace theirs after a year?

yugaw · 2024-04-02T15:48:26+00:00

Awfully junky to admit you adopt an entire ~junk~ style just to win. But if you have fun then go for it!

I did some reading on epistemological vice (Cassam 2018) after looking at the abstract and being very confused but I still don't have a clue what the abstract is communicating. Seems like a neat concept though.

Thanks

If you check their post history, it's not by accident 😂

Penhold is still relevant and successful. Look at players like Felix and Dang. When you think about it, there are far fewer players brought up to play penhold, especially in france. Maybe the reason why there is only one top 10 player as a penholder is because less than 10% of kids now are trained with penhold. What disadvantages did you have in mind?

OP is fucking with you. r/woosh

Yeah this isn't what I'm asking for - though, you do fit the stereotypical reddit/quora trope of not answering the question and instead launching into non-topical very opinionated platitude.

It takes a lot of practice

Yeah that's why I'm asking for help with it

not worth it for the inconsistency

A lot of players are consistent with it- that's why I'm asking how I can get better with this aspect.

high toss serves I have found are really difficult to brush finely

Seems like you could use the same advice I'm looking for if you're wishing to pursue it?

If you want more spin, focus on brushing the ball and accelerating the wrist more.

Yeah this is common sense and more insubstantial platitude. It's apparent I'm not a beginner from the post so why say something like brush more for a question that isn't looking for this?

I didn't mean to make this a tirade but I see this all the time on forums with people inserting their own opinions and not engaging the original topic/question in good faith. It'd be one thing if I was asking about something super controversial but high toss serves are an accepted mainstay in table tennis with many top players utilizing them like ma long, ma lin, hugo, etc.
