Is it time to buy another Samsung Galaxy s6 [alarm clock] :D

That makes sense and, in an effort to provide an authoritative source, I did a quick Google search.

Of course, everything seemed to confirm what you wrote, so I wondered what PETA said, and honestly, I don't have any idea: Living in Harmony with House Mice and Rats

1. Rats and mice are cute and make great pets. What?! Everything that I have read from PETA made clear they felt that animals were better off dead than as pets!
2. Glue, poison, and nonlethal traps cause pests to slowly die in pain over hours.
3. Nonlethal traps need to be checked hourly. I didn't want to spend more time than necessary in a house where I could hear mice.
4. Lethal traps don't work long-term because other pests will replace the ones you remove, so they talked about removing their food source and blocking their entrances.

Interesting points.

Snap traps, then?

"Live trapping and relocating animals is often advertised as a humane solution to wildlife conflicts. In reality, it can actually be detrimental for the animal, it is not a true long-term solution, and in most cases, it is illegal." PAWS.org: Relocating Wildlife - PAWS

"[L]ive-trapping and relocation rarely ends well for wildlife, nor is it a permanent solution."
"A 2004 study of grey squirrels who were live-trapped and relocated from suburban areas to a large forest showed that a staggering 97 % of the squirrels either soon died or disappeared from their release area."
How many died and how many disappeared?
Maybe they found a nice farm run by a loving elderly couple, like my puppy!
They say that trapped animals often leave behind young who will not be able to survive on their own.
They say that if you have unwanted visitors, wait a couple of weeks, because they often leave once they have had their babies.
No thank you.
If you absolutely positively cannot wait, use strobe lights, loud noises, and lots of vinegar (not ammonia!) to convince them to find someone else's home and then block the entrances.
If you absolutely positively cannot wait, trapping and releasing is 3% better than killing them.
The Humane Society of the United States: Scrap the trap when evicting wildlife

The only useful thing one page stated was that laws vary by state.

"It is illegal to trap wildlife in California because it does not resolve the problem and just creates new ones."
Are mice wildlife?
Google says they aren't found in the wild nearly as much as around people.
It recommends blocking entrances and openings with the use of wire mesh, grates, boards, and other materials. "Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue offers an exclusion service to assist people in their quest to keep the wild critters out."
"Whv is it illegal to trap and relocate animals?"
In California. Nobody knows about Arizona!
Why did it change "Why" to "Whv?!"
"Studies have shown lhat75% of relocated animals do not survive."
Why did it change "that" to "lhat" and remove the space afterwards?"

The Rule of freebeard says no.

Three supports for Piotrsko are enough, right?

So, if there are any live mice in the trap whenever I am able to get back up, I will shoot them with an AR-15.

America!

Too much is not enough! Frankly, I reach for a 22LR or 410 shot shell.

The ones that are only maimed in a spring trap, I put out for the feral cats. They're usually gone by morning.

I see waves of mice when neighbor's trailers are demolished instead of moved out. The avenues of entry are obscure, and they can squeeze trough an opening the size of a dime. The ones I do know about are stuffed with steel wool.

I use poison and never see vermin.

Average brown field mouse only need about a 3/8" hole for entry or exit, so I have never actually experienced a mouse proof house. Resistant houses, maybe, but standard construction don't get that precise AND they have all night every night to find an entrance.

Really nice program on PBS Nova about nocturnal mammal pests in the city

I haven't been in Show Low for months, but I had not seen mice since I think last January.

My phone worked as an alarm until October or so.

Apparently, if I mute media, it silences my alarm, which I figured out after sleeping through my alarm, arriving late to an appointment with a professor, and being told that I need to pay to redo clinicals from July to September, and will not be able to graduate until then.

For several months, various things have come up, and I have asked "If I do this, can I graduate on-time?"
They act like they are tired of me trying to end everyone's misery.

My clinical coordinator, who was my counseling professor, and who enjoys yelling at me for things outside of my control, still complains about things outside of my control since he started working there.

This situation calls for a tangent!

When I complained about my last supervisor, he kept saying that everything was her prerogative.

The second day of the fourth week, she complained about me not figuring out how to target the goals of the first client of the day when I never had a second to spare the previous day, arrived before her that day, and struggled to focus while twenty women spoke at once while I tried to plan for a client with a diagnosis I had never treated and goals I had never targeted.

I arrived before her and couldn't figure out goals.
She asked "What are you going to do?" nonstop, never giving me a chance to answer, and it seemed like she was never going to forgive me for it.
Over the next 10 days, she became increasingly critical for everything, and at my midterm review, she insisted the SLPA with 10 years of experience in the second year of his SLP program rated 2/5 across the board while other clinical supervisors have said that I do great.

The previous one told me to let him know when I was graduating and if they didn't have an opening, he would help me find a job.

However, my last supervisor insisted that I never planned, refusing to explain why she claimed that, until I finally got her to say that I didn't discuss everything with her.

I never had a second to spare, I usually arrived before her and stayed later, but I was expected to find the time to discuss plans with her?

A first-year student says she doesn't do that.

My supervisor acted like that still wasn't anything, but she refused to say anything useful until I finally got her to say that I never filled out the lesson plan form.
"You never sent it to me. I have never seen it."
"I didn't know I needed to! I'm not a mind reader!"

I score 2/5 for not meeting expectations she didn't know she needed to tell me?

My clinical coordinator insisted the professional thing was to stay and suffer.

She loudly announced she was going to fail me for the final and the owner said "Good!"

So, everyone involved would have been increasingly miserable for 5 weeks, I would fail, and then my coordinator would whine about me failing the final, not just the midterm?

That site not working out inconvenienced everyone, but it would have only delayed his problem.

It was her prerogative to waste his time and energy?

Anyway, I have been using my old iPad for an alarm.

So far so good!
