Especially interesting because they’re also having a tournament with a bunch of the old pros.

“inverted commas”? single quotes?

Samara Cyn is so talented, love her track with Smino. Looking forward to her next project.

Europe will soon have the opportunity to be blessed with local blackouts, how exciting.

On a serious note, kind of interesting basketball is getting big enough to launch another league. Makes sense with all the new international stars I guess.

From the study:

Although, our findings suggest that e-scooterists may be safer than e-cyclists in urban environments, we only considered crashes involving injured riders using a shared system in a few European city centers in one year. We also assumed that underreporting—an important and well-documented issue especially for micromobility—affects e-scootering and e-cycling equally. Furthermore, the relatively small number of e-cyclist injuries in some of the studied cities (and the absence of reported e-bicycle injuries in two cities) highlights the limitation of the dataset and introduces a degree of uncertainty into the injury rate comparisons. We did not consider whether post-crash consequences and injuries may be more severe on an e-bicycle (where the rider seats higher and dismounting may be harder) than on an e-scooter. It is important to acknowledge that injury data were self-reported by users. However, in the context of this study, where users had no clear incentive to misrepresent injuries, we believe the potential for misreporting is limited. Finally, we assumed the two customer populations to be equivalent. Therefore, while our study is enough to challenge the current scientific literature portraying e-scootering as riskier than cycling, our study does not provide conclusive evidence that one vehicle is safer than the other.

Interesting study. I’m no statiscian but the number of ebike crashes vs escooter crashes anaylzed is wildly different - 35 vs 686. The article says it’s still statistically significant, but I can’t help feel weird about comparing 3 ebike crashes and 156 escooter crashes in Liverpool.

Wow, I am not sure how I didn’t find this one…

Maybe I’ll just use that one then.

I don’t think a heave is ever going to be a game deciding shot though really, so I don’t think it matters much. I see it as being purely better for spectators and players - players don’t worry about harming their stats, and spectators get the chance to watch a full court heave go in.
