I'm doing market research for Criterion 1 of my Systems Control GCSE assessment, and I'd really appreciate it if people could fill out my online survey.
I've (rather foolishly, as everyone else picked it) chosen Context 1, and that is to design a humane rodent trap.
The responses will all remain anonymous, and the full set of questions takes under two minutes to complete. Heck, in the time you're done reading through this post you will have been able to complete the survey. And now that I've said that I need to waste a little more of your time with a random, pointless sentence..- much like this one, only perhaps longer if that is possible without making it *too* obvious.
tl;dr: Please help me by doing this short survey.

Attach it to a rat trap so when the thing is triggered and snaps down on it, the hammer also goes with it, hopefully landing a good hit and killing it.


edit: oh wait, non lethal.

I thought by humane you just meant killing it without making it suffer.

Needs a depends option. I figure where you live to be a big factor in what happens to your household pests (geeze nearly put the word "pets" there

). Say I live in a big city where there are already sanitary issues, I would prefer a trap that would finish off a live biochemical warfare pest, and burn the evidence. With that being said, I prefer humane lethal solutions to get rid of pests.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
