realistically there are several other players who have that kind of ceiling too. if we can see the version of price that won the worlds and dominated the grand slam, the world title-winning level from wright, 2020 era van den bergh (untouchable for a bit), world title-winning level from cross (seems to be slowly coming back), 2021 version of clayton, plus continued progression from other ridiculous talents like humphries, van duijvenbode, dareisay beau, etc, and we could have a golden age on our hands. i’m sure we won’t see all of those players peaking at the same time, but if even a couple of them do alongside the 3 mentioned then it’s gonna be carnage! and i haven’t even mentioned cullen, noppert, aspinall, searle, de sousa, r smith, heta etc, all of whom have a hell of an A game.

It depends on the depth of sedation. In most patients, we’re aiming to keep a patient calm, but awake, or at most drowsy. If they made the decision for cooling to 32-34 C, he would be more deeply sedated. You can still check reflexes under those circumstances. If they had to use a paralytic to control shivering, then most of those reflexes won’t be there. The pupils will still react to light, so those are still checked. When we do temperature control at 36 C, I keep sedation pretty light, because there tends to be a lot less shivering, and I can greatly reduce the amount of drugs the patient is exposed to.

Yeah that's normal.

You tend to play single checkout when you first start playing because of how hard it is to checkout on doubles.

After a few months of decent play you can move to double checkout.

I heard yesterday he went nine minutes without breathing. Now I think I heard this from someone on Twitter.. it was read to me on the golf course. So could be bullshit. However, if he went nine minutes without breathing, the outcome will be very poor.

But think about the actual incident. an NFL player dying on the field is very far from the staffs mind. He falls, its takes a bit to rush out to se him. They ask him questions.. no response. Probably then thinking he is knocked out. Realizing he is not breathing with a helmet on isn't possible... so taking his helmet off after realizing something bigger could be wrong. Then finding out he is not breathing which in the loud ass stadium, surely some wind.. all of this is harder. Then to realize shit, this kid is dying and reacting. Then with all the equipment on him. It just seems like this kid could have gone a while with no oxygen which is a huge deal for the brain.

Netherlands is the biggest market for darts right after the UK and Ireland and also has some of the very best players in the world. Though currently Germany is also on the rise and will probably overtake the Netherlands, once there is a German icon in darts, like Raymond van Barneveld or Michael van Gerven are for the Netherlands.
