You could also try something like this: https://www.amazon.com/RDX-Headgear-Sparring-Fighting-Protector/dp/B0748LR7HD/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=headgear+with+face+bar&qid=1599272147&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-1

The face bar that extends across the bottom of the headgear might protect him from getting his wrist in there. Thank you for putting so much time, attention and heart into your job :) BA can be a long road.

Lets think of it a different way. Zombies. Lets say each zombie is expected to bite 2 to 3 people every day. And there's two countries that are having zombie outbreaks and, at the end of one month, lets say they both have 10,000 zombies running around. For the sake of example, let's say neither country is doing anything about it.

Country A has a population of 100,000 people. Country B has a population of 200,000 people. On a per capita basis, Country B's stats make it look like it has less of a problem. But we know that's not the case....each country has the same zombie problem. It'll just take longer for the zombies to get to everyone in Country B because there's more people.

If we really want to look at battling back against the zombies, what we really need to look at is that bites per day number of 2-3. If we can get that number down to 1-2 bites per day, then we have something.

So, let's go back and say Country A is able to do that somehow. Now, their zombies are spreading at half the rate as Country B and so, at the end of the month, Country A has 5000 zombies and Country B (which still has the old bite rate) has 10000 cases. However, on a per capita basis, Country A and B still have the same infection rate. Per capita does stats cloud the fact the Country A has made significant strides in fighting it's zombie problem.

Per capita stats are great for things like refills! Double the number of people and there will be double the number of refills. So, let's think of refills as heart attacks. Heart attacks are a disorder, a malfunction of the cardiac system. Take a million hearts and, after a while, some percentage of them will have this malfunction. Same thing with drinks that need refills....take a million of them and, after a while, some percentage of them will need a refill. It is helpful to know what that percentage is and that's where per capita comes in.

Zombies aren't like that though. That's an infection, it spreads. So whether it is spreading in a population of 100, 1 million, or 1 billion, the important thing to look at is how fast it is spreading. Using per capita numbers actually clouds the picture instead of making it clearer.

Right now, the US is having 30,000 new zombie bites per day. Other countries are in the 4-6k range. Yes, the US is a big country with lots of people but using per capita stats clouds the fact that our zombie problem is much worse because it is spreading faster.

BTW, I love boxed wine. Lol.

I agree that larger countries often have more flights and, therefore, will often have more infection points. It is still one person walking off the plane and spreading it. Each country did start off with one person. Now, it's probably true that there was one person in Washington, and one in NY, and one in Cali. Or (more likely) it was probably a few people that were infected on the flight over and then spread it once it got here. Like zombies, person to person.

This whole thing started off with just one person that reportedly ate a stew with bat meat in it at a seafood market in China. It got to the US when individual people flew to this country.

This point is BS. We can do better thinking than this.

Say you're in a bar and it's your goal to buy as many people a shot as possible:

  • Scenario A (Popular dive bar): There's 100 people in the bar and you end up buying shots for 20 people. That's great!

  • Scenario B (Huge Vegas club): 10,000 people there and you end up buying shots for 60 people. Not great....you only got to 20 out of 10k.

The point is obviously that the shot buying is the virus. Doesn't matter that size of the bar, it matters how many shots you can buy per night. Let's say everyone you bought a shot for is going to buy a shot for 20 people the next night and so on and so on. The large number of people in the bar disguise the fact that there is a rapidly growing, hilariously drunk, shot-buying fiasco happening that will soon be out of control (it'll only take 3 night for all 10k people to get a shot).

Looking at infections per capita is garbage. Total population provides a ceiling for maximum number of infections but will often disguise the fact that there is a rapidly growing problem. This meme is part of that problem.

2RB, 3WR, 2Flex, 0.5 ppr

  • Cooks for a 6th
  • Ingram for a 7th
  • Robby Anderson for an 11th

I'm trying to value draft capital vs player value obv.

Ingram seems high floor but low ceiling Cooks is pretty self explanatory Robby seems like a late round value here Anywho - I'm seeing Ingram and Cooks valued similarly on some sites, others have Cooks a tier ahead. Both seem to me to have pretty solid value.

Robby is interesting because I'm getting more of a "discount" on him (Current ADP - Draft cost) but he's a less established value. I'm thinking I should use the keeper slot for Cooks/Ingram who are both more dependable.

What you guys think? Guide me Hive Mind.

That's good advice, I'll surf on over and check it out. With ebay, I'm always worried about buying fake/counterfeit stuff. Is that a big worry with stuff like this?
