  • I have yet to meet a woman I’m close enough friends with who doesn’t have a personal sexual assault story. Not a harrassment story, an SA story. Could just be bad luck but i don’t think it is. It also lines right up with the statistic that 3/4 women get sexually assaulted before 30 (that stat is from memory, but I’ll try and track it down in a bit.)

    I believe It is much worse than you think.

    EDIT: so on the stat I popped: NSVRC says 1 in 5 women in their lifetimes and RAINN says 1 in 6 in their lifetime. It’s been a while since i’d read that stat so it makes sense it’d be off.(though it is disappointing just how far off it ended up being, big whiff on my part) Those stat pages also have numbers for men as well












  • So it’s just showing the different types of sensors that might be used for parameter measurement.

    Non-contacting is a device which does not need to be physically near a system to work, such as laser thermometers or many optical devices.

    Contacting sensors require being touch the system to work properly, such as conventional thermometers, oil-immersion microscopes - hell, even things like rulers count as contact sensors, since you can’t an accurate reading unless it’s up against your sample.

    Invasive-contact sensors integrate themselves into the sample for measurement. Thermocouples often will be placed into boreholes to measure the temp of a metal object such as a hot-end, various sensors are directly from feedback of a system (an example is looking at variations in a motor’s electical signals to determine if it’s experiencing resistance).

    Sample extraction is what it sounds like. Examples of this are sample augers, which drill a cylinder out of a sample, needles for drawing fluids as non-invasively as possible, and pipettes.
