Non-obvious link to book Covid+Influenza vaccination in Alberta from the landing page at bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/bo... the main form and continue button is just for the Influenza vaccine.
Look for the text link "please click here to use Connect Care." to book your covid_influenza shot

Latest Optimus video was published, showing really effective vacuuming with a disconnected vacuum cleaner, a really effective way of vacuuming. Also fails to stir a bowl, nearly knocking it off the counter, and failing to push down the contents in a garbage bin

If anyone is still wondering why the Ford F150 EV is not selling in volume, just look at this picture that shows it would barely fit into a standard sized garage space.
Add to that the price tag and surprise, surprise, low sales.

Hint - make a smaller size truck without oversized power
Picture of a Ford Mach E and F150 EV in front of a double door garage, both look so wide that you would think twice about trying to reverse them into that garage. The Mach E might fit, but looks like the mirrors on the F150 would need to be folded in before reversing into the garage (and even then it would be a really tight fit.

Both of my books got copied, surprising that they did not pull in the various translations
