Habt ihr euch schon mal gewundert, weshalb man an einem einzölligen Rohr nirgends so richtig einen Zoll = 25,4 mm messen kann? Das liegt daran, dass ein solches Rohr nirgendwo mehr einen Zoll als Durchmesser hat, sondern was historisch gewachsen anderes: https://www.gewinde-normen.de/zoll-rohr.ht

Kein Puls. Keine Atmung. Eine Wiederbelebung wäre möglich, wird aber unterlassen:
Klinischer Tod mit Vorsatz. So ergeht es derzeit einigen #Krankenhäusern in Deutschland. Das ist keine Ironie des Schicksals, sondern eines kranken Systems.

Immune Response to Respiratory Viral Infections
The respiratory system is constantly exposed to viral infections that are responsible for mild to severe diseases. In this narrative review, we focalized the attention on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, responsible for high morbidity and mortality in the last decades. We reviewed the human innate and adaptive immune responses in the airways following infection, focusing on a particular population: n…

Autism spectrum, feelings and (against all odds) a Witcher quote
"""
[…] Because you're a witcher and you can't feel any emotion. You don't want to fulfill my request, because you think that you care about her, you think that… Geralt, you are with her only because she wants that, and you'll be with her for as long as she wants to. What you're feeling is a projection of her emotion, her interest in you. To all demons of the Pit, Geralt, you're not a child, you know who you are. You're a mutant. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying this to offend or disdain you. I'm just stating a fact. You're a mutant, and one of the basic features of your mutation is your full immunity to emotion. You've been made like this so that you could do your job. Do you understand? You can't feel anything. What you're taking as emotion is actually cell memory, somatic memory, if you know what that means.
"""
(Andrzej Sapkowski, Miecz przeznaczenia, Okruch lodu, Istredd's words, my own translation)
However the context is different, it made me think of my own problems with emotions.
Am I capable of love? Or perhaps I can merely project somebody else's feelings, return them at the best. Or perhaps just intellectually be aware of what I am supposed to feel.
Was perhaps that, what I used to take for "love", actually gratitude that somebody was nice to me, or that she showed interest?
Or perhaps was it that she fitted into an unrealistic model that I've engraved into my personality as a child?
Or just an attachment, a feeling of safety, stemming from a large data set. A conviction that unpleasant surprise is no longer that likely.
Or just desperation, a need that's been forced into me since I was a child and that now I'm trying to attain based on what the media, books and personal stories tell me about it.
Or even something resembling a Stockholm syndrome. "At least she's paying attention to me. I know the worst she could do to me."

'Tangled web': Senator offers new plan to investigate Supreme Court for corruption
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) has an idea about how to hold Supreme Court justices accountable for improper gifts: go through the Judicial Conference, the federal body that sets guidelines for how the courts operate.Whitehouse outlined his ideas in a lengthy thread on X, which came following report...

Hidden symmetries and Dehn surgery on tetrahedral links
Motivated by a question of Neumann and Reid, we study whether Dehn fillings on all but one cusp of a hyperbolic link complement can produce infinite families of knot complements with hidden symmetries which geometrically converge to the original link complement. We prove several results relating the existence of such an infinite family of knot complements with hidden symmetries to the existence of certain symmetries of the horoball packings associated to the original link. Using these results, …

Stimulated magnon scattering by non-degenerate parametric excitation
Parametric spin wave excitation allows studying a variety of nonlinear phenomena, such as magnon scattering. In patterned micro- and nanostructures the magnon spectra is discrete and translational symmetry is broken, which means allowable scattering channels differ from those in continuous films. An example is non-degenerate scattering by which high-power transverse field pumping creates two magnons with distinct frequencies around half the pumping frequency. Through micromagnetics simulations,…
