  • Uh gee, for starters don’t go around broadcasting that you’re not home. Watching your stuff. Do you want property theft? Because that’s how you get property theft!

    There’s really no reason that every car doesn’t have a voltage cut off to protect the battery such that it can still start. Additionally, if they just included a super capacitor then even with a heavily discharged battery, it could charge up the super capacitor to then start the car.

    But if we went around doing smart stuff like that then we could potentially wreck the entire lead acid battery industry and that would just be awful…

    The gallows humor is real. Coping mechanisms for traumatic jobs is real. Ever hear civilian firefighters joke around? Same.
