I agree! You troll on MANY subjects you have no clue about, so why
not batteries?

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

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

I suppose you waved a smoking parrot under each one?


Nah - he waved each of the smoke alarms at his dodgy homemade 12V fusebox.

If you use decent NiMH batteries, and only use them for a year, you will be no more likely to have a flat mic than if you use alkalines.

And you are an expert on professional audio production?

You are arguing with people who use radio microphones on a daily basis
as part of their profession, and you think you know better than them?

A man takes a lady out to dinner for the first time. Later they go on to a show.
The evening is a huge success and as he drops her at her door he says:
"I have had a lovely time. You looked so beautiful, you remind me of a beautiful rambling rose. May I call on you tomorrow?"
She agrees and a date is made.
The next night he knocks on her door and when she opens it she slaps him hard across the face.
He is stunned. "What was that for?" he asked.
She said "I looked up rambling rose on the Internet last night and it said:
'Not well suited to bedding but is excellent for rooting up against a garden wall.'"

The teacher had given the class an assignment. He stresses the importance of this particular assignment, and that no excuses will be accepted except illness (with a medical certificate) or a death in the immediate family (with
a note from that member).
A smart-ass student pipes up: "What about extreme sexual exhaustion, sir?"
The class breaks up laughing, and when they settle down the teacher responds with: "Well, I guess you'll have to learn to write with your other hand."

A few years back I bought a stack of £1.99 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 £1.99 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.

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!"

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

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.

In this case it's a fact. Sorry, but it's beyond my power to
educate the terminally stupid, like you PHucker.

You've just done it again.

I hereby declare I'm out of troll food. Goodbye.

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 **** 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.

I rest my case. Terminally stupid, as charged.

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:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3200/...4213d96b_o.jpg

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.
