The human body can only detect a buildup of carbon dioxide in the lungs, not a lack of oxygen. This is why it's uncomfortable to hold your breath for a long time. If you inhale pure nitrogen while being able to exhale, there is no build up of CO2 and therefore little to no discomfort.

Wikipedia cites a USAF text, saying: "Some individuals experience headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and euphoria, and some become unconscious without warning."

Pretty much! It doesn't have to be a computer poll, it can be just your opinion, or a hybrid.

I do a computer poll, because a) I don't watch enough games to make an informed ranking and b) it's a fun exercise in coding and tuning the algorithm(s) for me.

You also don't need to share your ballot in the comments, but I also enjoy sharing and explaining what my algorithm is doing and if/where I disagree with it.

Speak for yourself, my computer LOVES both of them!

Edit: Maybe not as much as I remember, but it has them in the top 30.

Currently cold crashing a Grodziskie. Next up is a Hüll Melon Kölsch.

I haven't really messed with adding herbs in my beer. Though, I did harvest some spruce tips that I'll keep frozen and use for a Celebration-inspired pale ale.

Vandy jumping from NR to 6th and Tennessee dropping from 6th to NR. What a rollercoaster!

Maryland was me. I don't know exactly how that happened. My best guess is that Maryland had a big win over a "decently average" opponent (read: not a cupcake).

How did it decide FAU was decent? I dunno. Based on non-conference games, it thinks the American conference is the best Group of 6 conference, which is probably helping.

Like last year, I'm sure it these outliers will become less frequent and extreme as it gets more data.

I just kegged a spruce tip IPA.

The spruce tips proved to be a big PITA. They clogged my recirculation pump several times, making cooling and whirlpooling difficult. I also use it to transfer to the fermenter, so I had to do that manually too. Then at kegging, a spruce tip clogged my quick disconnect during a closed transfer. Thankfully, the keg was almost full when that happened.

I'll invest in some screens next time...

My computer poll still really likes Indiana despite the relatively easy schedule and still really doesn't like Georgia, despite their win against Texas (though it did help quite a bit).

I'm with you on tiramisu. If I could only have one dessert for the rest of my life, that would be it!

Three games in and my poll is starting to make a little sense. It's based on a new computer poll I made up. If you beat a team, you "earn" their wins. Lose and you get their losses. Sprinkle on some math and repeat until it stabilizes. Here's my ballot.

1. Texas
2. Duke
3. Ole Miss
4. Miami
5. Michigan

Congratulations, you finished puzzle #666 in 4 minutes, 5 seconds

I would guess the effect would be more pronounced, the more hops you use. So, I wonder why he decided to use a recipe with so little hops.

Yeah, Georgia's drop is in part due to my poll. It's my first week submitting and my computer poll is really down on Georgia atm. I think it has them in the low 30's right now.

According to my algorithm, we reward checks notes Jacksonville State with a 25 spot jump to 81. If we are talking about the top 25, the big winners are Michigan and ASU (+15), Notre Dame (+14), and Louisville (+13) plus several others at +11. Biggest losers include Memphis (-29!), Washington (-22!), Miami and Nebraska (-19), and USC (-15) though the latter hangs on. Dishonorable mention to my Mountaineers who drop 17 places to 113th.

It's okay, you can't always expect keep up with those big football schools. 😂

How much strawberry and banana did you add and when? I know you need a lot of strawberry to get any flavor, but I would've guessed banana would come through stronger.

Here's my ballot from my computer poll. Big movers include Washington, Kansas, Florida, Iowa State, and Syracuse moving up 20+ spots. There were several big losers this week including my Mountaineers, who I got to see lose to Baylor at home. But at least the tailgate was fun, right?? But the biggest loser is.... Western Kentucky losing to then 3-6 LA Tech.

It's okay, my poll has Alabama at #20, that should help balance things out a bit.

BTW, how did you format your full ranking? I can't figure out how to get mine to do that.
