Someone told me that Pitbull is Jeff Bezos’s alt and I can’t unsee it.

How do people find me? Meat toaster.

“It’s wild because in engineering terms this question, how does it fail?, should be the first one we ask, but oftentimes it is never even considered in front-end development.”

Periodic Reminder: When debugging, you must first accept that something you believe is true is not true. If everything you believed about this system were true, it would work. It doesn’t, so you’re wrong about something.

This is a surprisingly common stumbling block for devs.

Happy Monday! Check out makefrontendshitagain.party/ if you need a fixing on weird website art

That was the outcome I wanted

Paused the DVR while we put the kids to bed. DVR restarted and wife was devasted to miss the halftime show. Luckily I found the YouTube link to it and now we’re Chromecasting it like nothing happened. Technology is weird.

@kingkool68 @dshif I mean REALLY. If you’re red/green color blind (about 8.5% of people), you’re not seeing this. t.co/HJrVgaSOvF

So the moral of the story is don’t store alarms with the battery inside them and forget about them.

I went upstairs. Maybe the chirping wasn’t coming from the basement after all? I still heard the chirping but it wasn’t as loud. Maybe I should switch one of the alarms upstairs with one downstairs I thought. That didn’t fix the problem.

So my last resort was to go to Google and see if there was any thing I could do that I wasn’t thinking of.

Then I remembered we had an old battery powered carbon monoxide detector at the old house. After going through a few boxes I found it. That was indeed where the chirping was coming from. Haha I cracked the case!

I looked around the basement and found a carbon monoxide detector but that didn’t have a battery in it so that wasn’t it.

Took down the smoke alarm closest to where the chirp was coming from. It was hard wired with a sealed non-replaceable battery. So that wasn’t it.

The Case of the Mysterious Chirp

The past few days one of our smoke alarms started doing that low-battery chirp every 90 seconds. I didn’t have time to deal with it until today.

I started popping up the tiles to our drop ceiling and seeing if there was a smoke alarm in between the floor and the tiles. Nope there was nothing there.

Woooo it’s Superbowl day. Go Red team!
