Honestly, about time.
The scaled-up child/scaled-down man dummy that’s been used for ages is not a good representation of female anatomy.
Hope it goes into use.

I wonder how many people that actually works on…
My neighbor’s house has really old compressed panel siding, and the bats just love living under it. Dozens and dozens and dozens of them. They probably do the same under my garage siding and I just haven’t noticed.
As a result, I occasionally have bats find their way in. Probably 6 times in 13 years. First couple times it was really alarming, right up there with cluster flies and equally harmless.
I either shoo them out an open door, or catch them in a small box, and release them by taking the box outside and opening it, then leaving. They do fly around to get away from me, but they don’t really come close to touching me unless I’m flailing around or whatever. It’s wild seeing them roost on a door frame or something inside, upside down, and have them just sort of let me catch them because they don’t want to be there but can’t get out.
In my area, which is a fairly low cost of living area, I know exactly one couple who do that. They have their home and apartments where they work.
They are literally millionaires, and their primary home is literally a mansion. As in just sold a ski condo a couple years ago, one of several properties they own, for 10 million profit kind of millionaires. (And yes they do bitch about taxes and safety net programs for the poors. Frequently.)
A lot of people around me do have “winter homes” in the south or “lake houses” further north, but that’s seasonal/occasional rather than something they use every week, and it’s mostly retired people who got money and residences when that was an easy thing to do. And most of them rent out the space when not in use.


If you have them nearby, it’s also good to know what’s at building/home resale places, like Habitat for Humanity re-store. Many of them have a lot more variety than you’d think, including furniture, tools, chains and wires, paint, etc. in addition to building materials. Sometimes they get big donations of new stuff like tile, lightbulbs, or insulation. I just got 10 LED lightbulbs for $3.50 total.


I hope this makes a big mess on the right. That would be so fucking funny.
They used sensors to detect particle energy, which is what temperature measures, when they impacted. There are so very few particles out there that no significant heat transfer actually took place, despite the particles themselves having huge amounts of energy.
They both went directly through it. It envelopes the entire solar system as far as we know.
