Waiting for my number to come up. How is it that for every new number on the board, I compulsively check which number I have? As if it changed from 20 seconds ago.

At the airport on the way home from the great Matrafured conference. It was four fine days of fantastic science, good friends and free drinks.

This must be one of the best names in military history. Commander in The Great Emu War…
You gotta love The Economist’s headline for the article on the death of Prigozin.
Two weather forecasts on two iPhones at the same time and the same breakfast table… ⛈️🌧️☁️⛅️🤷♂️
2. Even more violent inflation (but really, can a currency be worth less than virually nothing...) happend in Hungary after the second world war. In 1945-46 the pengő lost value at at rate so that prices doubled every 15 hours or so.
When the pengő was replaced by the forint, it had lost about 10^28 times its value. The new currency was formed by removing 29 zeros from the old one.
That loss of value is about 23000 × Avogadro's number.
Avogadro's number - the number of particles in a mole of a material - is big (6×10^23)! So big that such numbers seldom show up in other areas.
It's close to the estimated number of stars in the visible universe. I stumbled into another area where they appear - Hyperinflation!
I was reading about Zimbabwe, and saw that in 2009 they issued a banknote of the 3rd dollar that was equvalent to 10^27 First dollars. After that a fourth dollar followed, by removing 12 zeros(!!!!) from the 3rd dollar.
The Kid got to decide on the Christmas tree lights, so now we have a very nationalist illumination in the living room.
There’s absolutely no way of NOT misreading this institute name!
The new lab is taking shape.
Still empty, but in the new year hopefully some interesting #electrochemistry will happen here.
