Doesn't the cold water cause your sphincter to clinch? How clean can it be if it's tightened up?

no, not at all.  if you relax and get the proper angle you can fill your ass with water and shoot it out like a squirt gun on annoying house guests

H1N1  Was pretty bad, but nowhere near the hysteria we see now.

We have like 40 deaths associated with it here in the US, little over 5000 in the world.  Who knows, might get much worse, but again, China seems to be coming out of it, or are not being truthful.  If they are doing better, they the 1.7 million death talk might be a bit dramatized.

our trajectory is exactly in line with italy's.     we are 11 days behind them and even with our limited testing we have just over the number of cases they had at the exact same point.    obviously i have no idea what will happen, but there isn't reason yet to think we will deviate from the trajectory

The places where cases are leveling off or decking are places that have taken aggressive measures. IMO, it's not a reason to take this lightly, it's a reason to implement our own aggressive measures.

Not taking lightly, just heartened by the curve in China

if you have time check out some of the stories from the people of wuhan.  they were left with no care, no medical supplies, no way to get care, and no food.  americans will not stand for what has happened and is happening there.  and believing the govt of china about anything is a risky proposition

IMO, China, South Korea, Singapore, etc. show that mitigation efforts work. We're way behind on them, but it's better late than never.

yeah, should have added s korea is a great example of what to do, and life is not easy there right now.  there are some q&a's and stories you can find from people living there on reddit and other places about what its like - and italy too - and like our own guy on this board in italy - it is terrifying

NC has 15 confirmed cases, probably tons more.  Same with every other state.  At first, that makes it terribly scary and might be the doom we all dread, or, it could be that many are not that ill, don't even know they have it. 

I watch the numbers above several times a day on linked website.  If China and other countries are lying, then we know nothing anyway, but if people are telling the truth, then there are paths out of this mess.

      It's about that little birdie time in a few days

      fitt and rhule thought they knew more than anyone else. they tried to be clever and had an angle on things that no one else had. hurney only ever paid attention to who would be there in the first round and just winged it from there. maybe if we listened to our own scouts we might have had better picks. those guys weren't about to listen to anyone. they were, in essence, speculators and wild guessers.

      It’s too bad that we didn’t use the media rankings or anything else other than our draft board. We might have actually picked some decent players the past 3 drafts.

      how do you figure they do more than a regional scout employed by the teams? why would you think that these regional scouts haven't been around the game their whole lives or that they spend less time or do less work than brugler or whoever? these regional scouts aren't volunteering their work.  teams also are looking specific things and traits that the draftniks may not be taking into consideration that are specific to their teams. draftniks aren't as dialed into specific teams  as much as regional scouts who are tied to the teams.  regional scouts are just going to be better at evaluating for the specific teams than any of the draftniks...at least they'll know more about what the teams that employ them are looking for more than the draftniks. teams will have a big board that is done by their guys that is specific to what they have deemed important for their teams.  draftniks just do a broad based big board that isn't specific to any team so they are ranking players and picking for teams based on incomplete information about these teams. it just doesn't make sense for teams to rely on them for anything except to maybe get an idea about where players might fall...but even with that they shouldn't count on that being reliable intel. teams may notice what draftniks are saying, but they also have their own league sources that they will use. i think we just put too much stock in draftniks and their rankings.
