I totally feel you. Hopefully this works for you. Barring that, I hope you and your partners are able to reach an accomodation on this. You sound really frustrated and defeated here, so hopefully they can help you, or work with you on a different solution.

Hopefully it helps! Killing them is not an option for me or my partner, so we did a fair bit of research. We found a lovely little wooded stream to drop the mice off at, and we made sure to sprinkle some good mouse food around the area before we let them out (since their survival rate will be quite low without some kind of help).
- Comment on (×_×;） 23 hours ago:
You need to take them a fair distance away. The recommendations I've seen are to take them at least 3 kilometers (~2 miles) away.

My girlfriend and I have spent many fun hours playing Lethal Company. It's a real blast with an insanely high skill ceiling if that's your thing.
- Comment on Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all? 1 week ago:
I use a textured sheet for all of my Prusament PLA prints on my Core One and XL, and it's never given me a hint of trouble. I'm using the Prusa-provided profiles with zero tweaks.
I just hit it with a bunch of 99% IPA while it's cold and scrub it with paper towels before every single print. I don't heat it up until all of the IPA has dissolved, since apparently PEI is incompatible with hot IPA. I've never washed my sheets with soap, I've never applied any sort of bonding agents to them, and I've never sanded them.
Maybe you just have a bad print sheet?
- Comment on Ligma 1 week ago:
As someone else linked, it's called that because the Colt Single Action Army revolver was nicknamed as such. Colt's slogan was some variation of this:
God created men equal, Col. Colt made them equal...
If equality is peace, then anything to enforce that would be a "peace maker." I uh, don't necessarily agree with that sentiment, but it was popular in the American West for a long ass time.
- Comment on YSK you can add a noAI version of DuckDuckGo to Firefox 1 week ago:
It's getting encoded. % is a special character in URIs. Let me try posting it inside of back ticks, as well as triple back ticks:
https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%shttps://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%sI've noticed that there's a plague of threadiverse clients which improperly escape/encode URIs. It's most evident with how they mangle parenthesis in Wikipedia article titles.

Sheesh, it's 5 GB with
pnpm. Isn't that meant to deduplicate dependencies?Anywho, it looks like
--prodisn't being set in the Dockerfile, so dev dependencies are being included. I'm no node dev, but I remember this being something that people needed to set to shrinknode_moduleswithnpm. That might be an easy win. - Comment on The Kimwolf Botnet is Stalking Your Local Network 3 weeks ago:

Yeah, that's icky. Machines like the Breville superautomatic ones are way better because they just have a regular fucking steam wand that's easy to clean.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 5 weeks ago:
I seem to recall hearing that there were genetic/epigenetic components that predispose some folks to those personality disorders. I'm not disagreeing with you and I don't know if the research I saw was corroborated. I just think it's an interesting idea that you're not born with NPD, but you can be more vulnerable to developing it.

- Comment on Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode 1 month ago:
Arch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there's nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that
-march native).Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I'd hold off until you're comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.

Same, this is the first I've heard of him. He sounds like a real fucking piece of shit.
- Comment on Rebble · Core Devices Keeps Stealing Our Work 2 months ago:
Yep, this is why we use GPL! Using a permissive license is like lending money to a friend—you should never, ever expect to get your money back. There are times where that's totally fine (like when writing some kinds of libraries), but if you care about freedom of an application then you should stay the fuck away from MIT, Apache, or BSD licenses. Just use the GPL, folks.

Yeah, 88/2 is weird as shit. Perhaps the GPUs are especially large? I know NVIDIA has that thing where you can slice up a GPU into smaller units (I can't remember what it's called, it's some fuckass TLA), so maybe they're counting on people doing that.

Thank you for sharing this fact that has filled me with joy. I am not enough of a science hippy to tell if beer, wine, or bourbon contain more phytoestrogens than soy, but they absolutely do contain it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6761902/
- Comment on I've spent 3 days working in dust tearing down this bathroom 2 months ago:
I hadn't even thought of that! I did some oxyacetylene welding many moons ago and I remember the heat being absolutely intolerable at times.
I do machining as a hobby now and I'd really like to filter out cutting oil smoke. My biggest fear using a PAPR is my shop is the hose—I'd need to find a way to keep it REALLY close to my body. I don't want to get pulled into my lathe face-first.
- Comment on I've spent 3 days working in dust tearing down this bathroom 2 months ago:
I very much want a PAPR as well. I seem to recall that there were some units that came out of COVID that are somewhat cheaper, at least.

Yeah, Pokemon cards were like beanie babies back in the very late nineties and early aughts. People were OBSESSED with the value of their collections.

- Comment on Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally 3 months ago:
Yeah, I think it'd be a pretty silly thing for us to ever try to do. My goal was to take their stupid idea, provide a slightly less stupid idea, and then say "or just don't do space power at all and keep everything terrestrial." Orbital solar power stations were lots of fun in science fiction, but panels are cheap, there's plenty of land, and giant death masers that cook any birds flying into the beam are, uh, suboptimal.
- Comment on Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally 3 months ago:
We've had the template for this for decades. Put the solar panels in space where the thick soupy gunky spunky atmosphere doesn't stop the little energy things from the sun. Collect the power in orbit. You just do that up there up in orbit okay? And then you fucking beam the power down to the surface you numpty fucks. Use a maser to send the power down to the surface and you can pick a frequency that isn't affected by the gunky spunky and then the receivers on the ground can pick it up and they send the power through these things called wires to a building that uses the power and the building can use this neat little thing called CONVECTION to more efficiently remove the heat from the things using the electricity wow.
Or just, y'know, use less power and make use of ground based solar. We don't need fucking AI data centers in space. Don't get me wrong, I think it might be useful to, say, have some compute up in geostationary orbit that other satellites could punt some data to for computation. You could have an evenly spaced ring of the fuckers so the users up there can get some data crunching done with a RTT of like 50ms instead of 700ms. That seems like a hard sell, but it at least seems a bit tenable if you needed to reduce the data you're sending back to the earth down to a more manageable amount. That is still not fuckass gigawatt AI data centers. Fuck
- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 3 months ago:
This script is why I ended up learning how to use OnShape. It's probably much better nowadays, but I could not get it working a few years ago. I needed CAD and OnShape was close enough to Inventor that it was almost frictionless.
