It’s really difficult to buy them even now.

And many countries, like the UK, aren’t even offering them anymore

I’m in the UK, and I got my latest flu/covid shots free a couple of months ago.

I have a script which saves my fine location to a Google sheet when I disconnect from my car’s Bluetooth. If, like me, you are the sort of klutz who can lose their car in a two-car garage…

In the distance, sirens.

Not a book, but a true story from WW2:

5 May 1945 Troops of the 23rd Tank Battalion of the 12th Armored Division of the US XXI Corps led by Lieut. John C. “Jack” Lee, Jr., a number of Wehrmacht soldiers led by Major Josef “Sepp” Gangl, SS-Hauptsturmführer Kurt-Siegfried Schrader, and recently freed French prisoners of war defended Castle Itter against an attacking force from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division until relief from the American 142nd Infantry Regiment of the 36th Division of XXI Corps arrived.

It’s all very well having a Tesla implant, until you stop at a junction and your brain catches fire.
