They had a production line going: a short queue to get into the hall (local Rugby club), hand the invitation letter over. Sign here, take this, go over there to short queue. Take off outer clothing (to tee shirt level for access to upper arms).
Two seats, two nurses per seat.
Sit down, quick questions about your last jab, "3 ... 2 ... 1 ... jab in each arm" - Covid in left, flu in right. Stand and move away, dress (it's cold outside), and leave. Total time in building about 5 mins, and I'm up to date, and had my first flu jab to boot.
Now I suspect I'm going to have sore arms from the injection sites for a few days, but here's hoping I don't get any side effects (I did with the first jab, but hardly any last time IIRC).

I had the same last year Paul ( also my first flu jab ) and didn't suffer any repercussions apart from a dull ache at the Covid injection site. Hope you have a similar experience.

I had slight bruising for a day after the Covid jab, but it was nothing serious. I declined the flu jab, but SWMBO did have it, and says that arm still feels a little bruised some two months later.

Got my fifth Covid jab with Moderna last week, also a 5 minute experience, no crowds or queues. No side effects

Six or seven months ago I had my 4th COVID and regular flu shot together, on a Tuesday morning.
Fine all day Tuesday, overnight and Wednesday morning.
Then about 4pm Wednesday a freight train ran over me; I lay down on my bed and passed out.
Had about 5 hours of the most intense flu symptoms, then all gone.

Without a good reason I have to wait 10 years to get the 4th, and another 5 years for the 5th...

Did that recently myself. Had to wait like 10 minutes in the supermarket, but it could have been worse. I wasn't that sore. A little, just enough that I noticed but not enough to significantly bug me. Hope yours goes similarly well.

I had the option of getting both shots in the same arm - which I did. Two needles into the right arm as I am left handed. Zero side effects.

|
|
|

Last shot I had 3 days of 40°C fever, my wife got chest pains and weakness for a week. My mother had a heart attack three weeks after, and she's 54 and healthy.
If they don't point a gun and a needle at me asking what I prefer, I'll say ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) them and their bazillion shots.
Best part: we still got COVID within 2 months of the vaccination.

I have never gotten a flu shot as I know a sure fire way to cure it i.e. merely lie in bed and moan and grown and presto bingo in a day or a few it goes away

I've been fortunate in that for all the covid and flu jabs my only side effect has been slight tenderness where I was jabbed for the next day or so. By far the most painful part for me was removing the bandaid (along with several hairs) later. Since I don't bleed much from the jab I can get away with no bandaid just holding a cotton ball on it for about 30 seconds. Hooray for modern manufacturing techniques and thin needles.

I've never had a jab of any kind my whole life (78 years) because my mother didn't believe in it. Mind you, when I was young there was a slight risk from jabs themselves. Luckily I never got Flu or Covid, only measles and chicken-pox.
|
|
|
|

I got both jabs in my left arm - in case it fell off, I could still use my mouse - and had no problems until the next day when my arm was a bit sore and maybe, just maybe, I had slight flu-ish effects which lasted for half the day - then nothing!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Please explain the explanation 
why is pimento recipe an anagram indicator? All it makes me think of is stuffed green olives...
|
|
|
|
|
It was Old = Ex then pimento. Recipe was the anagram indicator.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I don't trust youtube as a credible source, and I typically buy starter systems and build on them so I haven't applied that CPU thermal paste to a chip in at least a decade.
The thermal struggle is real with modern PCs and frankly, I trust the bright people here to know more than some rando on youtube.
Getting it wrong might mean cooking hundreds of dollars, so for any of you who do build your own PCs:
I used to apply thermal paste evenly with a credit card, and I'm hearing conflicting things about doing this - do it, don't do it? Nobody can seem to agree.
That suggests either way works, to me, but the cost of being wrong is too much for me to feel comfortable with that.
Anyone here a physics major?
