Many long COVID infections are causing/caused significant damage to organs (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11834749/). A vaccination isn't going to reverse organ damage.

Based on his performance in free practice, I'm gonna say Bearman.

Edit: IF Haas is able to get him back on track.

Roswell that Ends Well.

An episode that contains one of my favorite quotes of the entire series:

Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. "I'm my own grandpa".

Thanks for sharing this. I've been a motorcyclist for quite a long time, but normally stick to myself and had never heard of this. While I doubt I'll encounter a situation I'm not prepared to deal with (my day job is essentially planning for and taking charge on very bad days, so I'm pretty good at it), this will better help me spot others that may need assistance.

Loma Prieta gang rise up! I was in Los Gatos swinging across a set of monkey bars on a playground. I remember being able to see literal waves in the ground.

If it's an OEM part that I need, I usually use the car manufacturer's parts catalog to find a part number. Then I enter that part number in a web browser, and browse through whatever comes up to find the lowest price from a trustworthy source (usually a car dealer online somewhere that sells/ships parts and has an online store, but sometimes eBay, Amazon, etc.)

Aftermarket parts get a little more complicated because it depends entirely on what kind of part you're looking for.

I'm not generally the type for this kind of meaningless comment, but it is just so perfectly apropos, I present the following statement:

Volkswagen used forced labor from concentration camps. I don't think there's any way to argue that a company built upon human suffering isn't evil - or at least wasn't at the time.

The Autobahn was built using forced labor of re-education camps, prisoners of war, prison inmates, and Jews from concentration camps. If the Wright Brothers made the first powered flight in an aircraft built of human flesh from murdered victims, nobody sane would be celebrating their achievement.

There is NOTHING honorable about causing harm to others so you can have more for yourself.

Same. Lost a very good friend because I was too slow to change, lost my family because I did.
