Reply to LPT: Press the hush button on your sensitive smoke alarm to temporarily disable it before cooking. by MuchFunk

TERRIBLE ADVICE. Many devices do not work this way, many devices are connected to alarm systems and though you may not hear it, it could sending an alarm to your alarm company to send the fire department, which can be very costly. If your smoke detector is going off when it shouldn't be, it's either operator error because youre or poor installation which you are supposed to move the detector to the appropriate distance so it doesn't go off in error. Contact an alarm technician if you're unsure and let your alarm company know you're mucking with sensors on your system if you are monitored, or have them come take care of it for you. Edit: often you will find a button on a smoke detector that is used as a 'test' button, which sends an alarm signal to the alarm company, you can inadvertently tell your alarm company to send the fire department.

Reply to Lockheed Martin’s game-changing laser gun achieves significant milestone by 221missile

Thats pretty cool, I'm curious if an additional power supply needs to be added to intended vehicles, or if their current onboard specs can easily retrofit the laser. Does the 50kw laser use, well 50 kw per second at full capacity? How much more power is needed for the weapons and targeting system and how much is needed for cooling, or can something like that use a passive system?

Instead of redoing all the grout in my bathroom, I just put silicone over it until I am ready to take it all out and make it prettier. 100% solved the problem going on over 6 months now and it's looking foine*, I check for any places it stops making contact over week or two to be safe in case I need to scrap away what I can and reapply because nothing lasts forever.

Reply to I read once that a person watching The Sopranos would skip the Melphi scenes. Are there parts of programs you just skip? by cheyne_stoker

Scenes are not normally put into shows for viewers to skip, they carry impact and in this particular case, it's to literally help us understand the character development and to emphasize that regardless of how tough or mean someone is, the mind is susceptible to trauma which will have lasting affects if not addressed, often for the rest of your life with the issues compounding in severity. Edit: apparently skipping scenes is regular for animated shows, mostly because they literally recycle scenes between episodes as an overlap to catch up from the last episode without actually making it into one of short recaps before the show starts. And secondly for non-cannon shows or shows that have a lot of irrelevant content to the cannon content in the series - Star Wars:Clone wars animated series - in this circumstance, people skip entire episodes so as to only watch what is relevant to the cannon story. But again, none of this content was intended to be skipped, it just fails to feel relevant or interesting to the viewers who choose to skip it.

It's not a morale debate but a legal one, and that's the point. Your opinion is yours and it does not supercede the law, so however you feel right in justifying your choices, remember that feeling morally right doesn't stop the government from fining or jailing you.

The lying part to start. Looked a little further into it for you, it's illegal to do this in some states and if you go as far as accidentally using someone else's address, or intentionally using it without their permission, it amounts to address fraud. If mail intended for you goes to these locations you provide instead of yourself, you can also go to court for mail fraud. Didn't understand why you think nothing of lying about your address, but it's not such a big deal in some places if nothing happens.

I having trouble connecting your reply to my question. Whether or not you need to provide an address was not in question. If the giving of a made up address, which may be someone else's home, as your address amounts to fraud or not. If I say I live at your house, is that not some firm of fraud?
