well, my smoke detecter never sounds a noise.
its been 2 years... i guess the batteries have been down for a long time.

maybe i should connect my battery to an incandescent light-emmiting heterostructure (a light bulb), and drain it over knight so my smoke detector wont be as smoke detecting as it's been for a while...

Yeah, well you know, you gotta annoy your neighbors somehow right?

For context of my quote:

And thats not an isolated incident, quiet many times when it smells really good, my smoke alarm goes off, and i have to scramble to turn it off again and wait till it doesnt smell as nice to put the battery back it, any suggestions of how to deal with it Tim...

Oh, and yes friends were coming over, and yes i dint know what they wanted to eat so i did a bit of everything to be on the safe side...
