Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Now, if you take a cold bath or a cold shower, uh a couple things are happening. One is you're going to stimulate vasoc constriction. So, if anything, it's going to make it a little bit more difficult for your body to get rid of heat because you're shutting off your avenues of heat loss.
