Question:

Can a smoke detector be activated by simply unscrewing it?

So one day i was at my friends and we unscrewed a smoke detector..and stayed in the room for a while (didn't smoke or anything just chilled) and then i left, then my friend tells me he got charged for taking it off for 10 minutes because somehow it activated the alarmwhile we were there nothing happenedso yeah id have to paybut i don;t think its possible unscrewing a fire alarm to cause the system to go off.. Any Insiders??

Answer:

As long as you have 1 good trait about yourself (your eyes, legs, even your gums!) then you can be a model. But (and not sounding mean) the fashion industry is a harsh jungle. Don't expect to get far if your not taller than 5'7 and your weigh less than 110 lbs. You can get places, but if you want to be on the legit runways for name designers like on ANTM then you need to work at it. It's not like you have to starve yourself or do drugs or become bulimic/anorexic. Just eat healthy, and maintain a weight. And also (not being rude!) but just because you think your a good height and weight and it doesn't matter what you look like your wrong. You need to have confidence, but know when you've crossed the line. A designer will toss you out like garbage and get a new model just because you gain 5 or 6 lbs. Like being a gymnast, you have to be perfect or you can't do it. You have to have perfect, flawless skin, tall, great healthy hair, thin, and the ability to leave it all behind (school friends family) I hope i didn't ruin your dream :l But being a model is a lot of work, and usually most models fall under smoking, drugs, alcohol, disorders and deaths to end it all. It's a very scary business, but seriously, no one wants to see a 200 lbs woman on the cover of Bazaar in lingerie. That's what a real woman looks like now adays. But otherwise go for it :) I wanted to be a model for a while, but decided art was where i shined :) Fashion is a dangerous business, but an Amazing one that always creates, recycles and redefines the meaning Style
The wires go everywhere. There's probably around 50 of them. some go under the hood to the alarm and possibly the hood tilt sensor. If they go to the engine bay then they probably pass through the firewall by the steering column. Some go to the doors for the sensors there. Some go to the steering column for the ignition. Some might go the the trunk or sunroof for sensors there. Some go to the antenna. Some go to a power source. It's hard to really pinpoint where they all are unless you trace them from the central unit.
She's probably just molting. Birds periodically lose their feathers as they're replaced by new ones. Flying around shakes the loose ones out. Unless you're noticing bald spots, don't worry it's normal
