I don't think I've seen Kayo fight yet, but since you're mentioning him, I'll be watching ! However, I am afraid with Wakatakakage's performance... he didn't look fully healed last basho and this bout (against Kayo) proves it.
Anyway, why can't we start the basho now? :)

The limited visibility of foreign fans is also discussed.
I can't wait for the tournament to start next weekend, there are so many interesting stories to come in this tournament: will Kirishima become Yokozuna? Will Kotonowaka reach Ozeki. Will my little protege Atamifuji maintain or improve his M1 rank? Onosato' debut in the top division will be interesting. Same goes with the return of Hakuoho and much more!

Lately, it's been difficult to synchronize to watch as a group, but I cherish these moments. How about you?
Yokozunas have been shy since we started watching... so we can't wait to see who's gonna be the next Yokozuna. Kirishima is promising, the new name maybe ?! :)

Comment on Videoconference fatigue from a neurophysiological perspective (first neurophysiological evidence) in ~science
TheInflatableKayak LinkThe worldwide videoconferencing market was estimated at 25 billion US dollars in 2022 and is projected to experience an annual growth rate of over 10% from 2023 to 2032, resulting in a market size of 65 billion US dollars in 2032; the primary driver behind this and similar market forecasts is the increasing trend of remote work and online learning. Thus, videoconferencing as a means of communication in both business and society is expected to gain further significance in the future, building upon an already high level of adoption today. Due to several findings from survey studies in recent years reporting on fatigue as a consequence of videoconferencing we conducted an experimental study to compare the fatigue effects of communication through a videoconferencing tool versus face-to-face communication. In our study, importantly, we employed both survey instruments and neurophysiological measurement methods to assess fatigue. We collected and analyzed EEG (continuous and event-related) and ECG (HR and HRV) data. Our neurophysiological data—together with the self-report data—show that videoconferencing, if compared to a face-to-face condition, results in neurophysiological changes which, based on existing literature, indicate fatigue. Thus, our results suggest that use of videoconferencing may lead to cognitive costs, which must not be ignored by individuals and organizations. However, as it is unrealistic to recommend completely abstaining from the use of videoconferencing tools, the future study of effective countermeasures to reduce the fatigue and stress potential of videoconferencing will be critical for sustaining human well-being and health in an increasingly digital world.

I've been using the Withings Scanwatch for less than a year. I chose this watch for the look first and for its 'smart' features second. It does track my sport sessions okay and count my daily steps with a battery that last for around 20 days.
I've heard horror story regarding the watch durability (often broken after the warranty period), but I'm happy with it for now, and hopefully it will last with good care :)
