Web extension created while in treatment because why not. First try so if it breaks anything - sorry.
Mainly seems to work.
Chrome version in 'Pending Review'...see how long that takes...

Started on a Wikipedia wormhole and came across a small note about beaufighter T4800 and I knew nothing about it.
The story is interesting enough, not least as it's the pilot's own words, but the photo of the Grand Palais on the Champs-Élysées from below roof level is pretty impressive.
When i was growing up something similar happened in our town - over pressure caused by connecting a high pressure gas line to the local supply - police closed off the whole town and a few bits and pieces blew up/caught fire.
That was human error rather than failing infrastructure.
My initial thought in this case, before hearing about the underinvestment by the utility company, was SCADA kit tampering/hacking. Running the pressure slightly high would be a very similar approach to the spinning of centrifuges at slightly over speed - not immediately detectable but with serious consequences. Judging by the comments on this thread it looks more like ineptitude/negligence by the utility.
As someone on a phase 2 trial an interesting note is that I know I'm on the trial drug (it's not a double blind trial), I also know that the drug worked in animal and vitro trials.
Furthermore I know, from the trial literature, that a very similar drug works (the trial drug is an anti-PD-1 immunotherapy) well with the particular genetic markers on my tumours.
The trial is to assess the efficacy of this treatment, not run a comparison to other treatments, but having burnt through 2 rounds of chemo in short order to no effect it is more a comparison against that.
Whether the placebo effect is relevant is an interesting question because under the trial the treatment is, by necessity, more personalised.
Previous studies have shown that, essentially, human contact/interest adds to the placebo effect.
The app-before-this-one (before the server went down) was a reasonably competent bit of kit, basically a lift and shift of Lloyds, which when retired late last year became something with flashy animation on everything (animated log in place holder, 2FA selectors floating in from off screen - WHY!) but less functionality.
