There is a new brand of milk, chocolate milk etc sold in US under the name "fair life". The milk is actually high qualify with more protein and less sugar. It is actually quite healthy compared to regular milk, even though more expensive. Guess who makes it. Coca cola company. But, unless one investigates, no one would know.

Why are they not openly saying that they are the makers? The reason is simple. It is well known that Coke as well as all other soft drinks contain lot of sugar and are not really good for you. If Coke says that they are in milk market, no one would believe that their milk is healthy and has less sugar.

He's OK. He's on Twitter.

Nadal's loss to Djokovic at Wimbledon was hard to take. Honestly, I have no problems admitting to that. Didn't really feel like discussing tennis after that. I am a fan first and foremost, and he's my favorite player, maybe athlete, ever. Thought he thoroughly outplayed him but lost (Ironic considering Nadal has won many matches by doing the opposite), after that, I didn't have much hope for the US Open given his injuries and the season turns lame once the slams are over.

I'm back.Tennis fever isn't hitting me that much this year for some reason, but I like the AO too much to just not post at all. It's my favorite slam, and I kinda miss you guys.

I'm glad that you're o.k. & you're back. As you have seen we missed you.

I'm missing @mrzz's scientifically-minded friend Chris. I'm missing seeing Mrzz having a fascinating conversation with him. I hope I haven't scared him off by asking so many questions. I didn't mean to be so annoying. I just wondered & know these 2 guys are very capable to say the least. I really enjoy having fascinating conversations with them & having a laugh & some fun. I'm very sorry for doing your heads in, guys.

I am pretty sure @Chris Koziarz won't take long to be back. Of course that it is easy to get used to good things, in this case his posts (in other words, we get kind of spoiled), but it is not like he's been a year out -- I would guess about a week and a half. He already told us his field of work, which is something that can consume 145% of your brain sometimes. I suspect he is completely absorbed by some complicated stuff, and believe me sometimes those things exhaust you in a way that you simply don't have the energy for anything else. He is a meticulous guy, each of his posts are carefully written, so just dropping by and writing down the first thing out of one's mind is not an option...

Therefore, patience, my friend. But don't worry, we (and I mean all we) have a lot of interesting conversations ahead of us.

Thanks mrzz for your kind words for what I'm finding hard to live up to but I'll keep trying:)
The case of my latest week-long absence on this forum was not work-related because I'm currently on a sabbatical leave and spend time bushwalking & other extra-curricular activities such as singing. I took a break from bushwalking today because weather was not cooperative. Looking back at tennis world, I feel happy because both my favourite (including 1 compatriot) players have won their tourneys in last weeks and jumped in their rankings. Good to return to the news that make you happy.

I know. I just got used to him being around. You both spoil us with your fascinating posts. I'd say your guess of 1 week is right. I know you can completely exhaust yourself doing complex stuff. I completely exhaust myself sometimes due to eye strain too & he wears specs too. I also realise he doesn't write spontaneously.

O.K. I was also just hoping he was o.k. as well as hoping I wasn't putting him off by saying so much & asking so many questions.

So that was a very good prediction (that you would not take long to be back) with a completely wrong explanation. It is a good parallel to a lot of alternative therapies and related things which sometimes end up being effective but have completely idiotic (mystical or simply baseless) "theories" behind it.

Where the hell is @DarthFed ? Hope you're doing well in this crazy times.

Darthfed was alive and kicking as recently as a couple of months ago. He was taking a sabbatical following the Wimbledon final and was streaming chess (he's a very good player) on Twitch.

Haven't heard from him since though.
