The fire alarm keeps going off in this condo all the time. Horrible loud noise. Lots of false alarms. It's like a psychologic terror operation. If there is an actual fire in here, people will ignore the alarm and die in the fire. I can go and look at the fire alarm panel to see which apartment unit triggered it this time and if there's not any smoke coming out, I'm not leaving the building.

@thor Fire alarms should activate systems to release CO2 and safely extinguish fires. It's effective but it was viewed as immortal because of the corpses.

@AmpBenzScientist They have systems like that in data centres. You want to leave real quick or you'll suffocate.

@AmpBenzScientist They take measures like that to protect millions of dollars in equipment.

@thor We had those in aircraft hangers. People died and it was acceptable. There were accelerants and oxidizers so they would die anyway.
