    A friend of mine had seen a rat dying from poison early one morning on his way to work. He thought it was nearly dead so left it. Upon his return some 10 hours later, the rat was still suffering. He put it out of its misery. So, to me, these traps are better and cleaner than most other traps. I think this trap is quite humane.

      I usually try to be as humane as possible when catching mice. I have lived in this farm house for 30 years and this last year or two it seems all of the mice have decided to obey the stay inside recomendations due to the "pandemic" lol Sooo they all decided to stay at my house. It has been hell trying to get rid of them and setting up single mousetraps just is not cutting it. I have resorted to setting up glue traps up in the rafters and in other places. I have also had them get smart on me and actually remove the bait from snap traps haha. I just ordered the Slip and Slide the other day after watching this channel. But as much as I hate to, I have resorted to non inhumane ways to try and rid them. Next is setting out poison if I have to. I am hoping the Slip n Slide bucket trap works.

    The uranium ore set is super neat. A few years ago I saw something similar sell on eBay for around $100 (I'm still annoyed with myself for not bidding on it). In the chart, the second column is reporting the uranium or thorium fraction of the samples. I'm guessing that "U2O3" is a typo for "UO2" or some other molecular formula for uranium oxide. ThO2 is the molecular formula for thorium oxide. The lead pouch probably isn't do much to protect you, since it takes around a centimeter of lead to halve the intensity of a gamma source. The samples are probably small enough to not give you a significant gamma dose anyways. It would probably be a good idea to place each of the ore samples (and their padding) in little individual plastic bags. Doing so would help contain any dust that flakes off the samples, which is the main hazard of radioactive ores.

If you are drowning you are gasping for air and sometimes getting it, skirting in and out the water in pain as water slowly goes into your lungs and ultimately renders them useless. Oxygen deprivation is what would start happening AFTER you have already been drowning for a while and your lungs are either collapsed or completely full of water, and it would take a bit due to residual oxygen in your bloodflow. Cutting circulation of blood to the brain causes the quickest form of oxygen deprivation, and would make you start passing out almost immediately, which is WAAAAY faster than drowning, like, not even comparable.

    Once, I heard a mouse spring one of my very normal, Victor traps and it took a long time to die. I could hear it struggling, flopping, dragging the trap around with its back broken. I tried very hard not to imagine what it was going through. With something like this, it would have been unaware of its demise in seconds instead of almost an hour!

    As a proud Kiwi, I want to believe that this mouse trap was designed as an expression of our famous Kiwi ingenuity by some industrious farmer who wanted to use up some spare castration rings. However, the cynic in me is convinced that this trap is merely a cunning way to consumerise mouse traps by requiring you to constantly buy ring refills. The days of planned obsolescence are numbered; subscriptions and their equivalents are the new driver of capitalism.

The little bastards were aggressively attacking everyone all night, anywhere your army clothing was tight they would try to bite through. Even worse was they were carrying something that made the bites really swell up. They would be in both ears in stereo. Not fun at all.

      my dad used one once. he didn't look up how to take a mouse off the glue trap. instead he tried pulling it off with a Gerber by the skin of the back of its neck. The mouses back was skinned while it was alive. My sister and I were watching and immediately started puking. Like, the sound it made was gut wrenching. Afterwards our dad quickly drowned it and felt completely horrible. While we did look up how to get a mouse off a sticky pad (use syrup) afterwards, we still stopped using them. It was either kill bar traps, or something else that killed quickly. I'd def recommend these band traps though. I would assume after a second of no blood supply, the mouse would lose consciousness, and it would then die. The fact that its unconscious would mean it wouldn't feel any pain afterwards.
