of course i know if there's a fire if i'm cooking because i'm in the damn kitchen

>>21510515 (OP)
if you're smoking something indoors, creating a pan fire that goes above your head, or jerking off while your food starts to burn, you deserve to have the fire alarm go off on your ass

Modern fire alarms go off from a fucking wisp of steam thanks to pressures from insurance companies.

>>21510515 (OP)

if there's fire with smoke, not just Flambé with alcohol
your fire alarm should absolutely start

>fire alarm that reacts on combination of smoke and heat

unless you get cucked by your countries laws to have an extra retarded fire alarm
they do not

just get one that is specifically made for the kitchen
aka smoke + heat detection

>>21510522
this

They often accompany a retarded faggot OP.

The worst thing about fire alarms in apartments is when you live next to people who have constantly chirping alarms. I mean, how can they not hear the noise every couple of seconds? How does it not drive them mad?

You shouldn't have installed a fire alarm if you didn't want one.

>>21510515 (OP)
They're overly sensitive, but my idiot neighbors nearly burned the apartment unit down the other day.

Fucking retard left something cooking and left to run an errand. I didnt get the details but there was probably no actual fire, just a shitload of smoke. The funny thing is that his door had no forced entry, so I probably could have put it out myself. I never bothered to check but theyre the kinds of retards that would get mad at me for breaking in.
Thank you for reading my blog. Fuck smoke detectors 99% of the time I'm just showering.

>>21510738
Those are just ceiling birds, perfectly natural and healthy. They remind you that you're alive and you live near trustworthy people.

Literally just remove the smoke detector and spackle up the hole if it's hardwired or just remove the 9v battery and you'll never hear or have to hear it again. This isn't /diy/

Insurance requires it? Cancel it or negotiate with new insurance provider. Required to have homeowner insurance? Pay off the fucking house. That's what I did. No one can tell me what to do with my place.

>>21510860
>negotiate with new insurance provider

>>21510522
i was boiling mussels and the steam set the alarm off

>>21510865
Absolutely. I got them to back off requiring repairs for an elevated deck by showing a new contract from state farm. (It was an uneven staircase) You don't have to just accept what they say. Don't be a fucking idiot.

>>21510860
>>21510754
i rent and usually i just remove the batteries but i recently moved and hadn't done it yet

>>21510880
Well there you go. All of this is such a non-issue.

>>21510877
>Don't be a fucking idiot.
have fun telling the insurance broker you dont believe in smoke detectors because you're a real man!

>>21510884
i disagree i think it is a big issue because i annoyed my neighbors and looked like an idiot even though there was literally no smoke whatsoever just because every building on earth has to have these devices which serve zero purpose in 99% of the cases

>>21510886
I never had to as I said, I eventually paid off my house, canceled insurance, spackled off the hard wired one and removed three of the battery powered ones.

Also made many other changes but not relevant. Haven't repainted yet so they still stick out. Maybe in a decade.

>numerous times they set off their alarms

>some times they do nothing about it until it sets off the WHOLE BUILDING'S alarms, forcing everyone to evacuate and call in the fire department to boom up to their balcony and extinguish whatever mess they make
>they just buy new pans and do it all again, subjecting everyone to their retardation
Thank fuck I don't have to deal with them now that I moved away.

>>21510515 (OP)
yeah they are retarded
in college my apartment had one right near the kitchen. just using the oven would set it off

>>21510895
>>21510895
Just remove the battery. Unless you have some new smart hardwired ones which trip an outside monitor usually outside your unit/block or in a crawlspace.

Just fix it bro. Use your head.

>>21510515 (OP)
If your cooking is regularly setting off the fire alarm it means you're burning your food. Lrn2cook

>>21510515 (OP)
Due to extensive prohibition on smoking and building codes meant to prevent people from being able to build a home, smoke alarms cost more human life than they save. Think of all the hours you've lost to fire drills and false alarms.

Was there smoke damage? I’m not a landlord but I’d be pissed if I was one and had to clean that up.

>>21510903
Did they ever offer some of the slop?

>>21510960
no it doesn't

>>21510552
modern fire alarms are actually so insensitive to cooking smoke that I'm not even sure if they'd go off from a real fire at this point. my smoke alarm has never gone off from cooking in like 7 years.

it exists to tell you that you burned something in an air fryer, that's it
it's interesting that it doesn't trigger when I smoke enough hookah you can stick a hatchet into the air, but triggers when I make some fucking fish sticks

not once in my motherfucking life has a fire alarm ever saved me from a fire. it serves no purpose besides being annoying

>>21511436
>Did they ever offer some of the slop?
Nope. I didn't know them personally nor did I want to.

My mom cannot see very well so the fire alarm is very helpful.

>>21511436
>Was there smoke damage? I’m not a landlord but I’d be pissed if I was one and had to clean that up.

I never saw the apartment, based on the evidence it was just a lot of cooking smoke with no flame. Landlord didn’t bother stopping by because the fire department hit it quick with fans. Thankfully not a fire but I’m still glad I called the FD if anything to teach the fucking retards to be more careful.

In truth the smoke alarm was going off for like 10 minutes before I bothered investigating. I just unplugged mine and hoped it resolved itself. I did have to wisdom to plug my detector back in before the fire crews showed up so I wouldn’t get lectured on disabling a fire alarm during a potential emergency.

why does it always seem like the low battery chirp happens at night?

>>21512081
because darkness is near

Which board (besides some of the porn ones) actively doesn't like anime? I know a fair bit look down on weebs but that's it, aside from a few trolls

>>21511485
You have to put batteries in them, Tyrone.

>>21510515 (OP)
half the posters itt don't know shit. there are two prominent types of alarms that work very different. if the one you have goes off way too often you might want to switch. here's all you need to know https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DDuAeaIcAXtg&ved=2ahUKEwij--a1x_GOAxWJUVUIHcStCgUQwqsBegQIEhAF&usg=AOvVaw00EQhk0Ss3ToKP2LidH6bV

>>21512081
Actual guess? Temps are cooler at night, and it's just enough to drop the voltage from the battery into the low-battery threshold for chirping.

>>21512163
that actually makes a lot of sense, I like the way you think.

>>21510515 (OP)
Do you watch a simmering pot or an oven for hours? I certainly don't.
