You already can. Not voting will add 0 points to the counter. Exactly as much as adding 1 up and 1 downvote would.

You realize that this mentality is considered a huge joke pretty much everywhere no…?

Yes, every much. And I have cat hair everywhere and a lot of electricity. Seems like a risk factor.

But you know ... It won't happpen to me.

Your absolutly right. But I probably won't do that. It just so unimportant overall, I won't think of it in a few days. And it's not like I'm going to start a fire. That just happens to other people. Not me.

I used to live in Germany where smoke detectors where mandatory at some point. It was also the landlords responsibility. So what you had was a some company coming into your home once a year to check all the smoke detectors. I found that to be very intrusive.

Not sure of this process has been digitised since (in Germany probably not), but I don't really miss it. (I live in Switzerland now, and here smoke detectors are not required by anyone (might depend on Canton)).

Yup, but neither is required by code where I live.

Some insuraners offer a small discount for having a fire alarm, but they can't drop you for not having one.

I don't remember them even asking for either one.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (13 children)

Nope, don't even have a fire alarm.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

No, it's mostly drop in quality.

As song? And it goes on for 30 seconds? Why would you even want that?
