I question the suggestion to check smoke alarms monthly. The number of micromorts that you save by doing that cannot possibly justify the extra time and effort. If the goal of this blog is scientific life advice, where is the science that supports this recommendation?
Good catch! Because of time constraints and this being a side-project without funding it's very much an 80/20 approach but since we will revisit every topic every year it'll get a bit better every year and I'll make sure to include all comments in the rewrite for 2027!
