I'm not that kind of doctor. Senior IT technical specialist and occasional patient magnet.

I am reminded that events are shown on the news because they are unusual and exceptional.

Whereas acts of love and kindness are *everywhere*.

Crumbs, glad you're still with us. Don't think there's much I can do at this far a remove except to wish you and yours well, but I'm doing that with emphasis.

If only there was some enormous global event that shook up everyone's lives, was increidbly stressful, and left many people heavily traumatised - surely if anything like that had happened in this period, that might explain it?

I guess we'll never fucking know, will we. A true mystery for our times.

Intuitively, I'd expect the larger blocks to be slightly more stable — because even if the geometry is the same, in practice the cut tolerances and friction forces are unlikely to scale perfectly?

There's a reason I had to work my ass off to earn the "Dr." title…
