Possibly an unthreaded spacer or stand-off?

I'm about a hundred miles from Sturgis. It's usually an annual annoyance but this time I thoroughly avoided being in public and fueling up at gas stations near the highways/interstate. Seemed a lot quieter this year for precisely those reasons.

I’ll trade more expensive stuff on forums for a pile of desirable commons if the situation calls for it. If it nets me a mid-tier game or two that I’m looking for and I get some easy trade bait to as filler, I’m okay with it. And since eBay hates sellers and attracts/protects a whole breed of slime balls, sometimes the better option is to make a swap with a trusted forum buddy for a bunch of potential quick sales to mitigate the risk of losing it all in one transaction.

The link between Covid and hydroxychloroquine lies in an immune system condition called “cytokine storms”. These cyto storms are basically the body’s over-response to things like certain viral infections and can cause organ failure. Covid appears to be triggering these responses in many people who are getting incredibly ill and needing respirators. Hydroxychloroquine is a rheumatoid arthritis drug that was also approved to treat cyto storms in cancer patients a few years ago. As far as the data for treating severely ill Covid patients goes, I haven’t looked too deeply. On the surface, it appears mixed, incomplete, or too early to make a definitive answer. I could be wrong, but that’s how I understand it anyway. And as stated in previous posts, we as Americans are not above simplifying the facts to fit our own political narratives. Here’s a couple links: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_storm https://www.forbes.com/sites/claryestes/2020/04/16/what-is-the-cytokine-storm-and-why-is-it-so-deadly-for-covid-19-patients/amp/

They’re not horrible, but they don’t do much for me. I went to an Ozzfest 15-ish years ago that they were playing in. They were right before Sabbath at the end. All of the day long anarchy topped off with a killer Slayer performance leading into them really made Ozzy and Priest look incredibly sleepy in comparison.

It's one of those games where if you don't get it, you don't get it. If you get it, you get it. Got it? 10/10

Cleaned it up to reflect some changes. Bump.
