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).

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.

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.

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.

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/

True! I just wonder how much energy they'd realistically be able to store for a given amount of resources. I just wonder if this has the same issues as Lifted Weight Storage, where the energy density just doesn't really make sense once you get right down to it. I don't know the relevant math to determine how much water and at what pressures might be required to scale this up to the 500MWh/1GWh range. It might be perfectly fine.
- Comment on This startup wants to use the Earth as a massive battery 5 months ago:
I wonder if this suffers from the same power density issue as most alternatives to pumped hydro systems. It's REALLY hard to do better than megatons of water pumped 500 meters up a hill.

Yep, although using angle grinders can possibly destroy what's inside. UL does have much more stringent standards. To quote the Wikipedia article on safes:
TL-15 - This is a combination-locked safe that offers limited protection against combinations of common mechanical and electrical tools. The safe will resist abuse for 15 minutes from tools such as hand tools, picking tools, mechanical or electric tools, grinding points, carbide drills and devices that apply pressure. While the UL 687 defines this as a "limited degree" of protection, that standard is used for commercial applications, and the TL-15 rating offers significantly better protection than many unrated safes.

I love LPL, but he tends to focus on mechanical bypasses. I feel pretty sure that the safes mentioned in this article are actually listed by UL as safes. UL, of course, fucked up with the electronic locks themselves by underwriting them, but I have much more confidence in UL's mechanical expertise. The common bypasses that LPL uses would not be present on one of these safes, and he'd likely consider them to be truly secure (this vuln nonwithstanding, of course).

I thought I remembered reading that saltwater electrolysis is far more efficient than freshwater electrolysis. It's probably not orders of magnitude different, but I imagine it might help a bit.

Idk, they're probably fine. There are SO many instances out there nowadays, and I'd guess most of them are fine.

Anywhere but lemmygrad or hexbear, really. lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, or lemmy.blahaj.zone are all good ones. I'm quite partial to kbin.earth (although you'd need a different app), and there's also piefed instances.

I don't like them because they took games that were perfectly functional on Linux and MacOS and made them not function anymore. I paid for Rocket League with the understanding that I'd be able to play it, and now I can't.
- Comment on Funny how that works 5 months ago:
I'd be fine if property taxes were also tied to household income, with no exceptions being made for rentals. Like, raise my taxes and make my income bracket pay 100%, but reduce the property tax rate for households with lower incomes so they can stay in their homes. All taxes should be fair and progressive.

Taxes bad amirite? I mean, I wish my local school districts would stop doing stupid things, but I actually like paying for kids to go to public school.

Comments are the primary form of interaction on link aggregation sites. Most mod actions are performed against comments, not posts. The other way makes more sense to me, but who would want to post and then be unable to respond?
I feel that women should have an easily discovered place where they can talk about shit that is difficult to talk about online. Having the community show up in the All feed is the very best way to make it discoverable.
Like, if it's that important, there could be a !WomensStuffOpen that mirrors the other community but is open to comments from men. That feels fair and inclusive without taking away from women having a space for themselves.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Fucking exactly. Like, I blocked the community because I almost posted there several times without realizing. I didn't want to make extra work for the mods there, so I hit the block button. That's it, that's all it takes. The community should be public so women can easily find it. Blocking a community isn't an inherently negative thing, you should block stuff that isn't relevant to you. If you're good at remembering that you shouldn't post there and like to read the posts, then don't block it.
Would people be as upset if it was a community for gay men? I obviously can't know, but I don't think there'd be this much furor. Why is this so emotionally challenging for some people to accept? I can guess, but I won't do so here.

God fuck our coffee. I finally got an espresso machine somewhat recently just so I could have lattes like the ones I had in Europe. A good latte should not need sugar! Espresso should be yummy!
