Stoats and rabbit hutches
Not sure I would trust any mesh. When I was young a weasel once chewed its way through our screen door. Our cats were delighted, and ganged up on him. I realize a weasel is a bigger badder version of a stoat, but I'd really want something stronger. I'm looking at these two now: https://www.wayfair.com/pet/pdp/tucker-murphy-pet-heavy-duty-45-wheels-pet-crate-w000666481.html https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/tucker-murphy-pet-vintage-pet-crate386x244x28h-w009980763.html I'm liking the first one, because it is all metal (gnaw-proof), looks strong enough to defeat coyotes, doubt a rabbit could rattle it all night, and it's already on rollers. I don't see a stoat or even a snake squeezing through them slit holes, but tell me what you think. The second one I'd have to build a base on rollers, and it appears to be made of treated poplar, that may not be okay (depends on which rabbit site you consult). No idea how young breeders sell rabbits, but it will stay inside day and night until a couple months after the vet neuters it. Anyway it will not be a baby, and gradually transitioned to nights outside. I should also correct a mistake on my original post...I'm moving to Riverbank, not Riverside...guess that was wishful thinking.

Stoats and rabbit hutches
I am looking into getting a pet rabbit which will stay outside at night, and inside during the day. I'm looking at these models for the outside 'hutch': https://www.chewy.com/frisco-ultimate-heavy-duty-steel/dp/168128? https://www.chewy.com/frisco-ultimate-heavy-duty-steel/dp/168127 https://www.wayfair.com/pet/pdp/tucker-murphy-pet-kace-tucker-murphy-pet-heavy-duty-stainless-steel-dog-cage-kennel-playpen-for-training-large-dog-with-double-doors-locks-design-pet-crate-w004819552.html?piid=863101496 I recently discovered that stoats are found in Riverside (California), and need to know if the bars on these models are close enough together that a stoat cannot squeeze between them. Thanks.

Does any commercial brand of cheese possess antibiotic activity?
I had always thought that blue cheeses made with Penicillium roqueforti, Penicillium camemberti, and Penicillium glaucum had at least some antibiotic effect, but Google searches say otherwise: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022030254913880 My question is are there any cheeses that do have antibiotic activity?

To what extent must the platter of a hard drive be destroyed to prevent forensic recovery?
Indeed I am not quite so new that I would confuse a HDD with a SSD, although I have no idea what a NVMe is ,nor have much interest in finding out, as I stick with old tech. Yes, i think that would overtax the exhaust capability of my window fan. Possibly a propane torch applied outside? I have no idea just how much applying would be needed to sufficiently wipe data off a metal platter beyond forensic recovery....which leads back to the point of this post. No, the previous post was to determine if acid was a viable means to render a platter null and void for forensic recovery. Since I'm not inclined to fool with nitric acid, this method is shelved. The current post is to therefore to determine to what extent must a platter be vandalized to render its data unrecoverable, and secondly, will any of the methods I listed do the job? Probably this post should of been the first post you indicated, which was too limited in scope.

To what extent must the platter of a hard drive be destroyed to prevent forensic recovery?
Most sites advise drilling a few holes in it to thwart privacy invasion, so I'm assuming it does not take much. What about an electric engraver, woodburning pen, soldering iron or bolt cutters...would either of these be an effective method to use on a bare platter?

Hard drive destruction
Looks like nitric acid is required to eliminate the film that holds the data: https://www.harddriverecovery.org/hard-drive/repair/destroying-hard-drives-101-the-acid-test/

Hard drive destruction
According to Google, the hard drive platter used in desktops is made of aluminum. Will either of these products effectively destroy the platter beyond forensic recovery: ARMOUR-Glass Etching Cream Ferric-Chloride-Etchant solution Both sold at various art supply stores, Amazon, and so on. The former for etching glass and latter one for metal. Anyone like to venture a guess as to whether either would destroy a Western Digital hard drive platter?
