They literally have zero information in front of them to be skeptical.

They're skeptical based on suspicions. All information actually points to this being nothing.

You're confusing suspicion and evidence.

But this isn't the point I was trying to make from the start. My point is that the statement from WTA is self contradictory. If your only rebuttal is going to be splitting hairs on the semantics of confirmation, I have to point out it's a very weak one.

No evidence will ever pass the bar you've set. Peng Shuai could fly to your house and stay with you for a year, and your argument would still hold : who's to know she didn't get captured the moment she left your house?

If nothing can satisfy the bar, the bar is set wrongly.

I remember watching toews score 3(?) times in the SAME shootout.

That’s worse.

No, the bank has given me a video call to show me my supposed money. I however, am still unable to access it. I fully understand that in my case the bank cannot and will not arrange a private visit to the vault for me, and therefore, I can still be skeptical that the confirmation is legitimate.

As for WTA's case, there have been cases where prisoners were able to video call the outside world, and in one case, they verbally communicated that they were not being tortured, but using morse code in their blinks, told the world that they were in fact, tortured. This acts as an example to show that video evidence alone is not enough to ensure the safety of anyone or anything.

True, it may be that she is ashamed of her actions, and therefore has disappeared from the public eye. On the other hand, China is also known to have people appearing in their courts claiming that they commited atrocious crimes, yet in multiple cases, those people have disappeared from other countries, with no immigration record of them leaving the country at all. Why would one leave a country illegally just to go to China and turn themselves in? It's more likely that they were kidnapped and brought into the courts with a false crime attributed to them, so their disapperances could be easily explained.

To clarify, I have no clue what happened. I'm just saying WTA has enough information in front of them to be skeptical of the confirmation.

No, I’m Canadian

It dilutes their records. For any team that is on pace to win more than half there games, a tie is performing below that pace, therefore is worse than going by win percentage.

What if they just gave both teams a tie?

We love our Atlantic Canadian brethren, but Newfoundland is pretty unique, and distinct from the Maritimes.

Cries in Newf

OT final anticlimactic? Bruh…

First step is just being on low enough ventilator settings. I usually want to see the oxygen no higher than 40%, because that is similar to what a regular nasal cannula can do. Second is waking up and following commands when the sedation is turned down or off, which he’s already doing. Third is called a spontaneous breathing trial. The ventilator mode is changed so that the patient has more control, and we see how they do with minimal support. Usually, that lasts for 30 minutes, but we might do 1-2 hours if we’re worried about how things are going to go. If the patient’s breathing becomes rapid and shallow, they aren’t ready. Finally, we check a cuff leak. The breathing tube has a balloon shaped like a donut called a cuff that forms a seal against the trachea. We deflate the cuff and check to see that air can escape around the breathing tube. It’s a way to screen for upper airway swelling.

You certainly don’t want to be taking the tube out and putting it back in repeatedly, but there will be times when it has to go back in. In Damar’s case, he’s young and healthy and it’s only been a few days, so I would expect he does well once it comes out.

But the bank has just given you a video call to confirm money is still in the bank. And you're still saying its not enough because it might have been stolen after the call. I assure you that if this scenario ever occurs, your bank will NOT be arranging a private visit of their vault for you.

Wta has been able to talk to her over video call. That's what they mean by confirmation.

You are talking about a woman who has outed herself as a mistress in a Conservative society, and expect her to make herself available to be in the spotlight. That's ridiculous. This isn't even unprecedented. People with far bigger star power have disappeared from the public eye overnight because they've been exposed of being part of an affair.

The placemat I stared at everyday as a child while eating my cereal was a laminated map of Canada with Provinces, Territories and major cities highlighted. I have failed with older age while earning the resented status of Onterrible.

Well as I said, they weren't even able to meet up with her. If she didn't disappear in the first place I wouldn't doubt that she's fine, but she has and no one from WTA has been able to meet up with her until now. Using my example, if I didn't hear about a theft on the news, and was unable to withdraw my money, sure I would still trust the bank on their guarantee. But now that I know money has been stolen and that I am unable to get my money, I need to see my money physically to trust that the bank still has it.

This would add to the marketing of the Packers vs Lions game if Seattle also wins on Sunday. This decision would not at all surprise me

Oh ok that would be more interesting. I’m surprised they would pass up the opportunity to add another game.

“Adding an eighth playoff team to the field in both conferences and
giving the top two teams a first-round bye is perhaps the most
intriguing among the many possibilities.”

Emphasis added.

No worries! The Maritime provinces are very small and cozy, so we don't mind getting mixed up.

Just don't call us Newfs! LOL

If they met up with her and she's OK you can still use this logic to say "who's to say they didn't grab her after she met us?"

That's why this is a terrible logic to use.

Thank you!

I love it

No, it would just mean the 1 seed doesn’t get a bye and plays the 8 seed on Wildcard Weekend.
