How does one acquire 350 smoke detectors?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they're friends with David Hahn

Hahn attained Eagle Scout rank shortly after his lab was dismantled

Is one of my favorite sentences ever 😂

I feel like he earned eagle the second he got the reactor running. Like all crimes aside he pulled off a rather impressive feat.

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 2 months ago

I couldn't agree more tbh. Dude's impressive as fuck!

Eagle projects are supposed to like, help the community. He tried to irradiate it.

from the big stew out back

Work for a contractor who replaces them in condos or something. They need to be replaced every 10 years, and with semi modern codes a 2-3 bedroom unit will have 3-5. A 20 unit condo with 4 stories would be 240-400 smoke alarms to replace every decade.

Oh man one time my apt building was being remodeled and they threw everything into a dumpster out back and left for a week. The smoke detectors in the pile were going off randomly all the damn time. I must have smashed 30 of those fuckers against the wall to shut them up.

I hate it when people do shit like that.

I lived in an apartment complex once where someone got a new (used) car with one of those old style car alarms that doesn’t turn off. They parked it in the parking garage and then left for the day. That shit was going off for like 6 hours. The cops were called and wouldn’t do shit. Cops looked at the car and were like “Doesn’t appear anyone tried to break in.” I’m like no shit dickhead, that’s not why we’re calling. Can you tow it out of here? But they wouldn’t tow it because it was on private property. I thought about breaking their windows but didn’t do it. I should have done something somewhat less destructive and egged it or something. Assholes.

Dunno, then feds usually show up when I hit triple digits.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds 3 points 2 months ago

Probably from demo'ing an old building. Or 20.

By getting on a very select list.

You could win the Contractor’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes! A lifetime supply of smoke detectors!
