Walking into the other bedroom I did notice this one had a bright little light that flashed along with the chirp, so it was easy to identify which one was the offender.
What boggles my mind is why they can't put a simple timer in these things that delays the start of chirping until 7am or so once low battery is detected. Of course that might render the flashing light less useful, but that's a tradeoff I'm willing to take.
Maybe this is a business opportunity we can monetize? Design a smoke alarm, or mods to First Alert units, to guarantee no chirping before a given time of day. I'd pay for that.

^^^^yes. Maybe an electric eye is all it needs. Daylight. Start chirping.

Making my morning mocha... grab a fresh carton of Silk from the overflow fridge in the garage.... screw off the cap and reach for the ring to pull out the seal but there is no seal and the carton isn't full. Ugh. Some arse opened it at the store and drank from it then put it back.

Shit that annoys you
My wife just had the same experience with some coffee-mate flavored creamer this week.
That’s what she gets for not letting me make her a cappuccino.

Having din-din at Dam Brewing in Dillon. Sampled a couple of beers before ordering a pint, basically two shot glasses filled with my choices. One sucked and I couldn't take more than the initial sip. Later, got the bill and these cum-swiling turd-burglers charged me for the fucking samples in addition to the pint I ended up ordering! One sample was $2.00 and the other $4.00. The pint was $8.00. Fuck these fucking fucks for all fucking eternity.

The TVs were running, but I don't recall any sound. Anywho, I was too busy posting here about how shitty they are.

Holding spot for screaming in the future........
ME (sales guys): Don't release that code to my customer, its not been fully tested, no one has been trained, and we dont have resources to fix it if it goes down.
Product Mgr: SHIP IT!!
ME: FML!
My co-worker and I were drinking a beer years ago after a trade show and he had the best line to describe our company.

You can no longer recycle plastic in W2. First it was glass now this. Not to get political but if this country (i.e. our government) wanted to do something meaningful they would invest in affordable US based recycling plants. Create jobs, reduce refuse and help the environment all at the same time. Just imagine.....

Recycling was always a scam the plastic industry used to convince people that buying stuff in plastic was ok because the plastic would be recycled. No one ever intended that the recycled plastic would ever be used. In the long run ending recycling, except for stuff for which there is an actual use, might be a good thing if it gets people to use actual recyclable or compostable packing--either voluntarily or mandated. (Or is composting trash another scam?)

Yanno... I'm just not sure why we bother anymore. Between all the shit we do that pollutes, destroys, divides and suppresses and this virus and the vaccine that will kill and/or maybe/maybe not disable us we are living in a damn if we do and damned if we don't world.
And on that happy note I'm off to volunteer at the vax clinic where I will assist with getting people injected.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Don't recycle the syringes and needles. They go in the red box. The soda cans in the green can. They still take those I think. (In college in the early 70's as work coordinator at Tank Coop at Oberlin about once a week I had to give a speech about which type of garbage and trash went into which container. We were ahead of our time garbage wise. 50 years later nothing has changed.)

Recycling glass never made sense. Except for back in the day when your coke bottle got rinsed and refilled.
Plastic can be recycled. But the trash industry likes to burn it up in a cogen inceration. More btu.. . .

Shit that annoys you
So you are saying when I go to teach recycling this week to 1st-3rd graders....I should just tell them don’t bother, it’s just a scam?....lol.
I can’t do my “Recycling Race”?....where I dump a bunch of stuff out on the playground and the kids race to sort the stuff into the correct recycling bins?.....I got prizes and everything.....
Damn, now I gotta make up all new plans for next week......that’s gonna be annoying.Last edited by BC.; 04-18-2021 at 07:55 PM.

There are two R's before "recycle" in the "3 R's." Limit your plastic because Old Goat is correct.
