I got Covid about 8 days ago, and while my symptoms weren’t more severe than a cold, it’s just taking me a while to get over it. My sinuses have been killing me for days, without much improvement. Bit achy and tired still, but that lessened. I got my booster about 11 months before.

But I lost my sense of smell and taste about 5 days in, when I thought I was in the clear with that. I can mildly taste/smell stronger stuff, but just inhaling or eating blander food carries this similar odd odor/taste at times. It’s subtle, not totally nothing, not bad but not pleasant.

I missed it. What happened to cause them to get P1? I am assuming an accident/red flag?

A real shame the guy who could stop that email thread probably got laid off already.

Fun story of how I found out I could do that at my job at the same time I figured out it was even possible that I would need to do that at my job:

In 2017 I was giving a presentation to our school district's administration team of about 30 or so. It was based on utilizing technology and they were working on their laptops. One of them said, "Uh oh. I don't know what is happening but I have about 20 emails including one from a student that says "Just shut up". As the emails quickly started coming in, I realized that somehow an email went to all of the staff (1,500) and the students (10,000) in a giant group and now a whole bunch of them, students and teachers(!) were replying all to the whole group.

I started searching through the GMail settings and options in our Google Admin Console and stumbled upon the power to pull emails out of inboxes and lock down replies to specific emails. Over the past few years it has gotten way easier in the system, but back then I had to hunt down the various threads that branched based on the latest reply to ensure it couldn't keep spreading. As I was feverishly trying to stop it a high school student dropped the F bomb in his email for everyone to "f bombing stop replying all". Luckily I was able to stop it before someone sent something widely inappropriate and was able to remove the messages from mailboxes. We didn't have our students in any mass email groups accessible to everyone, despite our administrators constantly complaining to let them create email groups like "All 10th Grade Students", so it never should have happened.

Turns out when one of the secretaries was creating all of their building's email groups in GMail she accidently created one for the entire domain with a series of random clicks she'd never understand. That group then existed for years before we knew about it. A guidance counselor, who could have sent something VERY confidential but luckily did not, meant to send an email to their whole building (which should have been bcc'd to begin with) but didn't type in the school part, just the domain. Boom, everyone in the entire domain gets an email and can reply all to it.

I made a Google Doc in my Drive with the directions for shutting down email threads if something like that happened again. It was titled EMAIL REPLY ALL DISASTER DIRECTIONS because I figured I'm searching for most of those words for the file if it happened again. I didn't have to use them again, but a few years later a neighboring district needed them. They did create those student groups like "All 10th Grade Students" and a thread of dong pictures started spreading over the weekend. One of my employees had kids that went to that school and he was getting the emails. She called me immediately and I emailed over the directions to their Director of Technology with the message "I heard you might need this".

Hope you're feeling better

Actual answer - Q1 started with everyone on inters, track started drying up throughout qualifying. In Q2 it looked like it was going to rain towards the end but didn't. At the start of Q3 it was definitely going to rain, just a matter of when. One of the Ferraris started on inters but everyone else was on softs. Track was still drying up at this point because it was spitting off and on so Kmag (who was putting up decent lap times in all of qualifying to be fair) put up the best time to date before Russell or Rusell or Russel or something spun off into the gravel. By the time his car was cleared it started to pour and no one could touch the track times of the laps already completed.

Funnily enough, George causing the red flag secured 3rd for himself.

Hold a referendum and declare Kherson part of Russia and then get your ass kicked out, brilliant or was it savvy

A bit late to the party, but loved Magnussen's viking emotions and LOL Ferrari. Leclerc's radio was hilarious. Check his onboard from that awful pit where they first put inters, then used softs, then softs; as McLaren mechanics were watching the entire shitshow as a spectacle.

Edit: Global Series Tampere trip was awesomeness itself. Finnish culture, infrastructure, Hockey Hall of Fame, going to Elvis game w Latvian flag, seeing Ozoliņš in the stands, going to famous chicken wings place to experience THE hottest sauce <3 Everything was perfection.

Sorry to disappoint but that tweet came at 8PM (which was conveniently cropped out). It’s a nice fun story but in reality it didn’t cause the drop.

Flight tracking has it likely that he took a private jet from Bahamas to Argentina. He gone.

Oh, also, FTX got hacked last night and even more money was liquidated.

Totally legit. All on the up and up.

This may make me a bad person but if Tom Brady really did have a large amount of his worth in FTX and he lost it all that would probably be a top ten funniest moment for me.

"As per Mr. Gallagher's wishes, his remains will be splattered all over the funeral attendees by repeated sledgehammer blows."

Would have been better if Haas started the actual race on pole, not the sprint race, but sprint races are fun.
