That's pretty bad. I've been using leftover Toshibas, and they last
at least a year.

I bought 6 smoke alarms at once, so I went for cheap ones. 99p on ebay
I believe.

Oh, *that's* a smart move. Expected though.

I did of course test them. They detect smoke perfectly well.

Ignore krw. He's a nincompoop.

It figures. PHucker and Grease make a fine pair. Add in the Dumb
Donkey, DimBulb, and Slowman and you likely have the entire market
for .99 smoke alarms. Real brains there, Grease.

Try putting some substance into your argument. If I want a conversation like this, I'll go talk to a 6 year old.

I don't have to when you folks do it many times every day for me?

Here we have a classic variant of "I know you are", again, a 6 years old's stance.

A few years back I bought a stack of Ł1.99 smoke alarms from a supposedly
reputable chemists chain (the non-special offer price was quite a bit
higher). These alarms became insensitive to smoke after only a couple of
months - pressing the test button worked but holding a cigarette to the
sensor no longer set it off. The landlord subsequently installed commercial
duty rechargeable smoke alarms.

The Ł1.99 alarms turned out to be good value for the batteries they
contained, a handy source of battery clips and I may eventually find a use
for the very loud piezo sounders.

Don't tell PHucker that or he'll cry.

Guess what, mine still work.

Following an especially angry argument, Mr. and Mrs. Smith went to bed not speaking to each other. Needing to arise early the following morning, Mr. Smith left a note on his wife's bedside table that said "Wake me at six."
An exasperated Mr. Smith awoke at ten the following morning and rolled stiffly out of bed to see a note on his bedside table:
"It's six, you bum! Get out of bed!"

GMAFB!

Are you refuting that they detect smoke? What do you want, a video of me setting one off?

No, dummy, I stating that anyone who would trust their life to a
smoke detector from the .99 store is an *idiot*. I am not refuting
your assertion that you do it or that you _are_ said *idiot*.

They work as advertised, therefore the cost or where they came from is irrelevant.

Stupid PHucker, as always.

And they are to save my house from damage, not my life.

That's pretty bad. I've been using leftover Toshibas, and
they last at least
a year.

I bought 6 smoke alarms at once, so I went for cheap ones. 99p
on ebay I believe.

Oh, *that's* a smart move. Expected though.

I did of course test them. They detect smoke perfectly well.

GMAFB!

Are you refuting that they detect smoke? What do you want, a video
of me setting one off?

No, dummy, I stating that anyone who would trust their life to a
smoke detector from the .99 store is an *idiot*. I am not refuting
your assertion that you do it or that you _are_ said *idiot*.

They work as advertised, therefore the cost or where they came from is
irrelevant.

Stupid PHucker, as always.

Refute my statement or forever shut the fuck up and stop making an ass of
yourself.

And they are to save my house from damage, not my life.

Well, I suppose that pig pen is worth more than your life. You
really are that stupid, aren't you?

I can defend myself against fire, a house cannot.


Hooray - PHuckers going for a Darwin award.

He'll likely get that wrong too.

I didn't know the brain dead could qualify?

I thought you had to be human to qualify. Donkeylanders don't
qualify.

That lets out most of England.

I want to keep some NiMH rechargeable 9v batteries in my tool bag (well, my
meter bag, actually). I am currently running a double loop of electrical tape
around the entire battery to insulate the terminals.

I'd like to use something more durable (one battery has had a terminal peek
through the tape) and was thinking about something like a battery terminal
connector but made of insulating material like nylon (probably of some
cheaper plastic).

Does such a thing exist? I did web searches, but maybe my terminology isn't
spot-on...

I used to use plastic DIP chip shipping tubes:

Cut a channel along the top to hold the batteries by their negative
terminals. For better grip, first drill holes the diameter of the
positive terminals. Plastic tubing, slit lengthwise, also works, and
the flexible type can be wrapped all around the battery for a better
grip.

Or you could glue the batteries together with double-stick tape or
silicone RTV, just enough to hold them securely but not so much that
they're hard to twist or pry apart.
