Hard-wired "home" type smoke detectors can not be adjusted for sensitivity. Detectors that appear "too" sensitive are usually very dirty or located in the wrong place. Carefully review the lengthy instructions that come with each detector with regard to selecting a location. Avoid: high air velocity areas such as near air conditioner vents, areas outside bathroom doors where steam vapors waft out, kitchen areas where the cooking smoke can get to the detector before disapaiting Studio apartments pose an obvious problem. You can try cleaning the detector to make it less sensitive by following the manufacturer's cleaning instructions, but when in doubt, replace it. Isn't your life worth $10.00?

Are overly sensitive nipples a sign of being gay?

In a word, No. A person's physical build, voice, or mannerisms have nothing to do with being a homosexual. Additionally, "overly sensitive" is a very subjective term, and could be caused by any number of factors, including age, use of steroids or hormone therapy. Sometimes, people just have very sensitive nipples. Unless you are over 18, have breast tenderness, and/or discharge from your nipples, I wouldn't worry about it too much. (If you are under 18 and going through puberty, sensitive nipples and breasts - that's right, guys have 'em too - are 100% normal.)
