I was entering data about a drill hole, things like depth and location. Except I was tired and distracted, and accidentally swapped the depth and the northing.

So for a brief moment, we had a hole that went past the centre of the Earth, that we had measured the depth of to the nearest micrometer.

It was a beautiful hole while it lasted (30 seconds, before I realised what i had done).

[spectatingspectacle]

Got motivation and made a little short of my CotL AU.

Now I go sleepy

…

……..

Shamura was sitting in their bedchamber on the floor, ever-so-slightly leaning forward one micrometer a minute. Their expression was as empty as could be, the only sign of the god being alive was their pupils shaking and the rise and fall of their chest with each breath getting slower…

A few books and documents lay in front of them, why did they bring those out again? At some point, they faded away. Soon, everything faded away, and they were left in a void. A void manifested from the depths of their consciousness slipping away from reality.

Laughter rang out, bright and mirthful somewhere in the distance. It stopped and silence floated again for a moment before tiny little taps filled it. The taps were getting closer, and closer, and closer until…

“Hello!”

Shamura looked up but didn't move their head, before them was a young spider, a pretty headpiece made of repurposed cobwebs and obsidian pieces that were shaped like teardrops draped over the young spider’s forehead.

Something about this spiderling felt familiar, in a bittersweet way. A memory that used to hold comfort.

“... Hello, little one.” They straightened their back, their body felt lighter than it should've.

The little one observed Shamura before taking a seat as well, almost perfectly mirroring their pose. It raised a hand, putting another over its chest.

It smiled brightly. “I’m-”

“Shamura Ludovica Kiaaski,” Shamura finished for the spiderling. The crown on its head told them of the puzzle pieces they needed. The crown’s crescent eye staring into theirs, a familiar gaze. A bittersweet memory they're holding onto by half a thread.

“... How'd you know?” The little one giggled, rocking back and forth idly.

“I… just a hunch, per se.”

“What are you doing here?” It rolled its Rs and Ls. They knew the accent well, they lost it sometime after they found Heket.

“I know not anymore.”

It blinked at them before tilting its head. “You forget what you were doing too? It happens to me all the time! The others scold me sometimes ‘cause of that”

They knew. “A lot more than I used to…”

Silence again, lingering just above their heads.

Slowly, they brought a hand up, and it came to rest upon the spiderling’s cheek. It blinked again before it made a click with its fangs and turned into their palm with a smile, just like Shamura thought it would.

Ichor dripped down the side of their face from under the spiderweb headdress they wore. Soft words came out of their mouth before they could think about the question.“... Can you tell me who you are?”

The Godling uncovered its face enough to look at them with one eye and answer with “Why should I? Don't you already know? That's the whole point of being the God of Knowledge, right?” It giggled again, still so bright and… genuinely happy. Not a care in the world for what's to come. Suddenly, its smile turned to surprise when it looked behind Shamura, then it stood up and pointed. “Who’s that?”

They looked over it for a moment… they faintly remember the silk dress it wore… crafted by them with the help if someone dear

When did they lose it?

How long ago did they make it?

Why did it matter?

Shamura turned their head and twisted their back to see. It was the Lamb, walking up to them in the nightgown they had made for her recently and holding her two-headed lamb plushie close to her.

She stopped for a moment to close their bedchamber door. After a moment of pause, she hopped over to them and made herself comfortable in their lap.

“... Hello, my dear.” With her arrival, their bedchamber faded back into their awareness, and the light from the small window on their ceiling was gone, replaced with twinkling stars. How long have they been there?

“Hi,” she said, low and tired, definitely woken up sometime in the past hour.

They ran a claw through her wool. “Aren't you supposed to be asleep, Little Lamb?”

“... Yeah, but……”

“‘But’? What's wrong?”

The Lamb pressed her cheek against their chest. “My dreams aren't being nice to me. It started out fine, but something happened and I woke up with tears down my face,” she pouted, annoyed that was how she was woken up.

They lifted up another claw and carefully ran it over her cheek. It did feel dry like tears were there not too long ago. “If it makes you feel any better, my dreams aren't being all that nice to me either…” Would they consider that a dream or a hallucination? Did they fall asleep?

“That makes two of us… can I sleep in here until my forced vacation is over?” Right, Shamura and the others forced her to take it easy for at least a week when they noticed just how many tasks she was handling at the same time.

“If it’ll help you rest, then go ahead, Little Lamb.”

“Thank you ‘Mura” she thanked them as she squeezed her plushie and adjusted her position.

“......... You're welcome, my dear.”

Holy God This Is All So Boring

i am taking microscope images of the cells i'm studying. the cells were grown on a glass plate before i fixed them (killed & chemically preserved), so by default a microscope image of them is taken from a camera below them, looking up through the glass. they're stained with fluorescent dyes for four different proteins, so every single picture has to be repeated four times with a different laser light illuminating the cells (imagine taking a photo with a red filter, a blue filter, and a green filter, and then composing them all together to get the full picture. it's actually almost exactly the opposite of that, but that's close enough).

i care mostly about how the cells are shaped in three dimensions, and i'm using a laser which is specially shaped so it can collect only a very thin slice of the cells in the Z-direction, without interference from the parts of the cells just above or just below what i'm taking pictures of. as a result, i need to take lots of pictures at different depths in the cells, so i can get slices that i can stack on top of each other and get back a 3D shape. also, because i am using a tiny concentrated beam of light to achieve the above effects, it has to scan across the image to collect each picture, like a scanner; it can't just be collected in a single snapshot like a photo.

the distance between one slice and the next is less than a quarter of a micrometer. i'm using a 63x magnified magnifying lens to magnify the image, and the light detector that picks up the light is specially made to allow the images to be processed even further, so i can resolve structures that are less than 200 nanometers, which is the Abbé limit and is the technical resolution limit of light microscopy (don't worry about this). i care about things that are the size of, like, three proteins stuck together, and therefore maybe 10nm wide, so this is important to me.

all of this is, you know, scientifically great, very useful to me, i'm getting some very interesting results that i am genuinely looking forward to thinking about more, except the upshot of all of this is that just getting a single picture of two cells from the bottom to top of the cells involves 80-100 slices and takes like 27 minutes per image to collect, and i need at least six pictures tonight, and certain bastards in certain other labs habitually pre-book the microscope so i can't use it except at 5-9pm on a friday. no one else is here in the lab and my mother is busy with elder care and my girlfriend is busy with like, groceries, so i can't call either of them even if i weren't too irritable to be good company, and oh my god, i am so bored, i am so so bored, i am bored enough even to type out this whole explanation even though none of you could possibly care because it took most of my current round of waiting for 27 minutes to do

[bugchampion]

Got into an argument with a friend (derogatory) about using chatGPT for answering technical questions. And. He kept using chatGPT to “”””backup”””” his claims. He then proceeded to accuse me of not understanding the underlying technology and made fun of my coding. Not the closest I’ve come to putting a 9mm chunk of lead through that dumbass’s brain but it’s certainly in the top ten.

ChatGPT can answer questions yes, however it only gives you a vague micrometer deep understanding of the topic at hand without any of the nuance or depth that a human written article could provide. It also makes you a big dumb idiot head. Idk. It’s like intelligence loss but it’s not kinky or hot. Just sorta sad and lame. I HATE CHATGPT

ur future nurse is using chapgpt to glide thru school u better take care of urself

Integration of ISO 17020 Consultants into Dimensional Checks Explained

When it comes to inspection and conformity assessment, specificity and uniformity are critical. This is especially the case with industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and heavy engineering, where even the tiniest variance in dimensions can result in significant issues with quality or product failure. Dimensional checks and systematic evaluations to ensure that components meet predetermined specifications play a critical role in mitigating these risks.

Also, significant is compliance with ISO 17020, a widely-used global standard defining the competence of inspection bodies. It specifies requirements for deciding the competence of bodies performing inspection and for the impartiality and consistency of their inspection activities. However, it can be difficult to execute this standard effectively, in particular when dealing with technical domains, such as dimensional inspection. This is where the ISO 17020 Consultants come into play.

ISO consultants in UAE are the guiding stars who help manufacturing businesses to set the best dimensional inspection process that is compliant, accurate, and contributes towards operational excellence.

Understanding ISO 17020

What is ISO 17020?

ISO/IEC 17020:2012 is an international standard that specifies the criteria for the operation of different types of bodies performing inspections. It guarantees these bodies are disinterested, technically skilled, and systematic in their inspections.

Scope and Applicability

The standard applies to organizations that are engaging in:

In-process and final product inspection

First-article inspections

Client/regulatory third-party inspections

It is a yardstick of quality and assurance in inspection activities, designated applicable to all sectors.

Standard Key Requirements

Independence and Impartiality: Inspection bodies must not be subject to commercial, financial, or other pressures that may compromise their objectivity;

Technical Competence: However, inspectors need to have the right skills, training, and experience in dimensional checks and other checks.

Inspection Approach and Reporting: Each type of inspection requires adherence to clear procedures and methods, and results need to be reported consistently and transparently.

Quality Management Systems (QMS): Document control, internal audits, and corrective actions are essential parts of a QMS to ensure continuous improvement.

What Are Dimensional Checks?

Definition and Importance

K Dimensional checks are specific measurements taken of physical components to determine if the component is built to engineering specifications. These inspections are important for:

Ensuring product quality

Maintaining tolerance levels

Preventing rework and warranty claims

Back up compliance with rules and regulations

Dimensional Inspection Common Tools 

Calipers, Micrometers, and Gauges: For manual measurements of lengths, diameters, and depths.

Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs): For 3D dimensional measurement with high accuracy.

Laser Measuring and Vision Systems: Used for non-contact inspections in an automated environment.

Role in Product Conformance

Dimensional checks work as a gatekeeper for quality (mainly in the case of mass production). They pick up deviations early and prevent defective goods from getting out to customers or causing downstream defects.

Why Are ISO 17020 Certification Consultants Responsible?

What do ISO 17020 Consultants Do?

These experts help organizations navigate the ISO 17020 Certification in UAE process. They are well versed at interpreting the clauses of the standard and a variety of technical environments where they can be applied, such as dimensional inspections.

Services Offered

Gap Analysis and Readiness Assessment: How current inspection practices compare to the requirements of the standard.

Documentation Support: Writing up inspection written procedures, quality manuals, and compliance reports.

Training and Competency Development: Staff training related to the principles and technical inspection methods.

Internal Audits and Mock Inspections: These involve aides with an internal audit system preparing for the audits that must be performed before each certification cycle to rectify issues and make necessary improvements.

Risk Mitigation: Consultants spot deficiencies before they result in certification delays or failures.

Incorporating Consultants in Dimensional Inspection Processes

ISO 17020 Based Fitted Plan for Dimensional Checks

Note, however, that the certification does not prescribe how to perform inspections, only that those methods be validated, repeatable, and appropriate. Dimensional inspection practice is aligned with these principles by the consultants.

At a minimum, this has to go hand in hand with accreditation requirements

ISO 17020 Certification Consultants help to write SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that are well-defined, consistent, and traceable. They also make sure that records of inspections, calibration, and training are well-maintained, all of which are of key importance for successful accreditation.

Developing Traceable Systems

Traceability is required with the use of tools like CMMs or laser systems. Consultants help implement:

Calibration schedules

Evaluating uncertainty measurements

Standardized reporting formats.

Equipment calibration and operator competence

A dimensional check is only as good as the tool that is being used and the person performing the check. ISO 17020 Consultants in Abu Dhabi verify:

All measuring tools are traceable and properly calibrated to national/international standards

The competency of operators is trained and tested

Challenges and Solutions

Dimensional Inspections — Common Issues

Document Shortcomings: Inadequate processes and absent checks.

Neglecting Measurement Uncertainty: Failing to properly compute or report measurement uncertainty.

Inconsistent Reporting: Different formats or auntency of results that makes it difficult to provide clarity to clients or auditors.

How Do Consultants Overcome These?

Structured Training Programs: They educate teams on the tenets of best practices, QMS requirements, and the principles of ISO 17020 Certification in UAE.

Process Optimization: Consultants tailor processes to best ensure efficiency and consistency by implementing a lean approach and process improvements through quality inspection steps.

Audit Preparation: Mock audits, as well as root cause analysis, aid in preempting external certification or surveillance visits.

Corrective Actions: Advice on finding root causes of non-conformities, making permanent corrections

The Main Point!!

When dimensional accuracy is mission-critical, precision inspections are vital to product quality. Without the guidance of ISO 17020 Consultants in UAE, organizations may struggle and take unnecessary measures in the process for effective dimensional checks. They may benefit from the guidance of ISO consultants to help organizations increase inspection outcomes more efficiently, reduce technical errors, and achieve accreditation effectively.

Consultants provide the blueprint of success from documentation to jobs, calibration to training, and compliance. They ensure that dimensional inspections are technically competent but also adhere to international quality standards.

If your organization is aiming to enhance inspection credibility, minimize errors, and ensure long-lasting quality improvements, enlist a consultant.

OKAY SO

like you've yourself mentioned in the tags! Males can't sting since a stinger is a modified ovipostor. However, some species can't really sting at all (or only very poorly), because their ovipostor is simply not a stinger! A great example would be many species of woodwasps, which, despite their fearsome looks, can't do much stinging-wise with that big ol' thing. And, if you take a look at them, you might actually confuse the ovipostor with the source of their other, lovely namesake: horntail! Now, they use this spine-like structure to drill through bark and wood so that they can insert their ovipositor into the fashioned hole and lay their eggs inside! Fun!

On the other uh. Side we have, well. A wasp that truly needs no introducing, right? The one and only Cazadore, the Orange and Blue Menace, the Tarantula Hawk. Now, as funny as its latin name - Pepsis Grossa is, (I get it dude, you prefer Coca-Cola) this beauty is no thing to laugh at. It is a parasitoid wasp, the likes of which use their sting to paralyse their prey, and then use their ovipositor-stinger to lay their eggs inside of them. (Or of they're less dramaric right next to them but, well, I'm all about the drama queens of the entomological world.) And, judging by its name, I'm sure you can figure out its favoured prey. Yes indeed, they hunt tarantulas, laying their eggs inside of their still-alive, paralysed bodies, before sragging them into their own nests. Many species of parasitoid wasp brood, once they hatch, actually know to devour the vital organs very last, so that the flesh is fresh the longest. Yum.

Some other fun ovipositor weilding wasps are fig wasps, which, if pollinating, enter the fig themselves and die inside too, alongside their brood, while if parasitoid, simply lay their eggs inside using their ovipositor. I will not continue further along their life-cycle and gladly avoid the in-depth explanation of incestuous mating of non-hatched brood and mature individuals, in what is truly a pregnancy any% speedrun.

Another great ovipositor-er is the fariryfly. It's a parasitoid and nothing about that it too special, aside from, I guess, the fact that they can be smaller than the eggs they are parasitoids of. I mean, come on, they can be as small as 100 micrometers!! That is about the average size of a human cell!!!! They're eenie meenie teeny tiny!! They're even considered as a sort of pest removal thanks to the species they parasitoid off of! Imagine that!! An army of tiny wasps to fight the pests!

*stares pointedly at mud dauber wasp* you know what you did. Airplane accidents aside...! Great wasp! They're the kinda parasitoid wasp that lays its eggs merely next to their unmoving-but-alive prey, but they do the fun thing of sealing them inside a mud tube/nest. That's fun!! Seal em inside the catacomb queen!! Really Jigsaw of you.

Anyway I'm sorry if I missed any interesting ones but these are all that immediately came to mind. Love 'em.

Measuring and Comparing Length: A Comprehensive Guide

Measuring and comparing length is a fundamental skill used in various fields, from science and engineering to everyday activities like cooking or home improvement. This article will provide an in-depth understanding of how to measure and compare length, the tools involved, and how to apply these skills in real-life situations. Whether you're a student, a teacher, or someone looking to improve practical knowledge, this guide will help you master the art of measurement.

Understanding Length and Its Importance

Length refers to the Measuring and comparing length worksheet from one point to another. It is one of the most basic and essential quantities in mathematics, physics, and engineering. The ability to measure length accurately is vital in many professional and daily tasks. Whether you're building a house, sewing clothes, or analyzing scientific data, the precision in measuring length can make a huge difference in outcomes.

Units of Measurement for Length

Before diving into the tools and techniques of measuring length, it's essential to understand the different units used for length.

Metric System

The metric system is the most widely used system for measuring length. The basic units include:

Millimeter (mm): 1 mm equals 0.001 meters.

Centimeter (cm): 1 cm equals 0.01 meters.

Meter (m): The standard unit of length.

Kilometer (km): 1 km equals 1000 meters.

Imperial System

In some countries like the United States, the imperial system is commonly used. The basic units in the imperial system include:

Inches (in): A small unit often used to measure short lengths.

Feet (ft): 1 foot equals 12 inches.

Yards (yd): 1 yard equals 3 feet.

Miles (mi): 1 mile equals 5280 feet.

Tools for Measuring Length

Various tools are used to measure length accurately. Some of the most common ones include:

Ruler or Measuring Tape

A ruler or measuring tape is the most basic and widely used tool for measuring length, whether in the metric or imperial system. Rulers are typically used for small objects or short distances, while measuring tapes are used for longer lengths, such as measuring a room or a building.

Calipers

For more precise measurements, calipers (such as vernier calipers or digital calipers) are used. They can measure internal and external dimensions, as well as depths, with high accuracy.

Micrometer

A micrometer is another precision instrument, mainly used in mechanical engineering to measure very small objects or thin materials, down to thousandths of a millimeter.

Measuring Wheel

For measuring large outdoor distances, such as the length of a road or a field, a measuring wheel is often used. It is rolled along the surface, and the measurement is recorded based on the number of rotations.

How to Measure Length Accurately

Accurate measurement of length requires proper technique and attention to detail. Here are some steps to follow:

Choose the Correct Tool: Select the right instrument depending on the object's size and the required precision.

Align Properly: Make sure the tool is aligned correctly with the object you are measuring. This ensures an accurate reading.

Use the Right Units: Be clear about the units you're using and convert them if necessary to maintain consistency.

Record the Measurement: Always record the measurement at the nearest millimeter or inch, depending on the tool used.

Comparing Lengths

Comparing lengths is often an essential skill, especially in fields like construction, design, or engineering. To compare lengths, you need to follow these steps:

Convert Units If Necessary: Ensure both lengths are in the same unit before comparing. For example, you cannot directly compare 10 cm and 5 inches unless you convert one to the other.

Align Objects for Comparison: Place both objects side by side or measure them from the same starting point to get a clear visual comparison.

Use a Precision Tool for More Accuracy: When comparing smaller lengths, use tools like calipers or micrometers for greater precision.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Measuring Length

While measuring length may seem straightforward, it’s easy to make mistakes that affect the accuracy of the result. Here are some common errors to avoid:

Not Using a Level Surface

Measuring an object on an uneven surface can lead to inaccurate measurements, especially when using a tape measure or measuring wheel. Always measure on a flat, stable surface.

Incorrect Unit Conversion

Mixing up units or forgetting to convert them properly can lead to incorrect comparisons. For instance, not converting inches to centimeters when comparing two different units will give an incorrect result.

Not Considering Tool Precision

Using a tool that lacks precision for the task can lead to errors. For example, using a standard ruler for highly detailed measurements could result in a loss of accuracy.

Practical Applications of Measuring and Comparing Length

In Construction

In construction, precise measurement is crucial. Whether it's measuring the length of a beam or determining how much material is needed, accurate length measurement ensures that buildings and structures are built correctly and safely.

In Manufacturing

In manufacturing, measurements of parts or products must be exact to ensure they fit together perfectly. This is where tools like calipers and micrometers come in handy.

In Everyday Life

Even in everyday life, we measure and compare length constantly. From measuring fabric for sewing to determining the length of furniture for a room, these skills help us make decisions that fit our needs.

Conclusion

Mastering the skill of measuring and comparing length is essential for success in many areas of life. Whether you're measuring for a home improvement project, designing a new product, or simply comparing the length of two objects, having the right tools and understanding the proper techniques can make all the difference. By using accurate measurement tools, choosing the correct units, and avoiding common mistakes, you can achieve precision and accuracy in all your length-related tasks.
