How do you only heat the bathroom then? By closing off vents? Or is this some crazy HVAC system that allows only doing certain rooms?
Vents?
You just turn off the radiators in the rooms you don't want heated.
Ah, I see. Not a forced air system. Now it makes sense!

Of course not, what is this, the middle ages?

I've never seen forced air anywhere in Europe or Africa, only in North America.

Alas, it is the most common thing here, or at least it is for large swaths of the country.
Just one of those idiosyncracies I guess. I doubt you could even build a house here with forced air, let alone sell it. Our system just seems so much more convenient.
...I sleep during the day, mostly during the day.
Please join me in my new thread which petitions the deletion of this thread.
Do you let it stay hotter than 80 during the day?!? Usually, the lower temp overnight is what causes the battery to work poorly, causing the chirp to begin. So when your house is the coolest is when they start going off.I don't want to run my heater when it's already 80 in my condo!If it ever comes up, here's a tip. If a hard to reach detector goes off in the middle of the night, just turn the heat up a few degrees and it will work well enough to stop chirping. Then you can replace it the next day.
So in the summer, if you cool the house in the day, then allow it to warm overnight, you are more likely to get the chirps in the daytime than at nighttime. Vice versa in winter.
I live in LA. We don't run the AC during the day, when we're not home. At night we turn the temp to 76, and shut it off when we go to bed. I don't want to turn the heater on at night to warm the batteries. Much simpler to disconnect the blasted thing and replace the battery the next day.
Also: LA= no winter. 
I love this comic but it's actually a deceptive point. The second password is significantly longer than the first and at equal lengths the mixed alphanumerics and symbols are hugely more secure. It's not a fair comparison and thus draws a conclusion that isn't correct.

It is just showing that the current standards of password demands are very hard on humans and you could easily increase security by just using longer passwords that are easy to remember.

Might be convenient there. But we need a heating system that can heat and humidify the air when the temperature difference between outside the house and inside the house can be 60° C.
