@cremevax Final follow-up: the double-Moderna knocked me down pretty thoroughly the next day, with a peak measured temperature over 101℉ (and customary injection-site soreness). Since I didn’t have to do anything challenging, I just lay about and popped anti-inflammatories. Pretty consistent with my Moderna history.
@cremevax Success! I had to say, “no, I want only the mFLUSIVA flu shot,” since that wasn’t one of the options the pharmacy person offered, and then the PhP went and looked and lo, it was in the back behind stuff!
@cremevax mFLUSIVA is now showing at products.modernatx.com as available at Seattle CVS locations, but their scheduling doesn’t let you pick your flu vaccine flavor, so I guess I’ll find out in real time.

I’m extremely puzzled that mFLUSIVA seems to be available at grocery store pharmacies (QFC and Safeway) but not, say, CVS. Kind of hoping it’s just a distribution timing quirk, as I’m not eager to get my health stuff into more companies’ systems.
Had no idea on Purple and still only recognize two of the words. No notepad.

PSA for any other recent #genealogy enthusiasts: your library may well have an #Ancestry subscription. Many (including Seattle Public’s) require you to be physically at the library, but for me, anyway, that just means I get a good walk in.
I really love designing tabulation machines here at IBM. Such cool technology. I'm not really exposed to the sales side but hear there's a lot of demand from Europe, Germany maybe? Anyway, super-fun technology to work on.

Had no idea on Blue, so played it first despite Purple being so very purple. No notepad.

Unsurprised that principles failed on Green/Yellow; so it goes. Couldn’t believe Yellow wasn’t a mislead till I figured out the “extra” Blue. No notepad.

Another 3-yellow day, but at least we agreed on which was the yellowest. No notepad. Fascinated that 14% played Purple as their first play (also the commonest correct first play), and 14% of players solved with no errors.

No ambiguity or vibes to decide between the two yellows, and I saw Blue first, so it’s another big ol’ shrug. No notepad.

Today’s theme is “couldn’t be arsed.” Figured Green was purple enough not to bother with looking at the rest of the puzzle, and then after getting Purple by elimination, gave up almost immediately on figuring out the category. Not sure I ever would have gotten there. No notepad.

Interested that only 2% fell prey to the dark-Purple mislead. Notepad kept things clear for me. Also interested that a generative model (presumably) with Connections in its training set could so utterly fail to identify the mislead’s category.

Legit Purple first, and then struggled with the rest. Hindered by clothiers apparently having dropped the word “hair” in the last few decades. Good misleads. Notepad.
