Thanks for pointing that out so I didn't have to.

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! You can brag and selectively post all the highlights and none of the lowlights when you're back if you think that you need that to feel better about yourself.

Look look look as a home owner with a mortgage, I think you're looking at this all wrong.

You should be furious and demanding correction French style.

If your dome light isn't an LED, then you should replace it with one. It won't completely fix your problem but it will give you 9 to 10 times longer to catch it.

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...

If they had, the merger would have still happened. That's an awful opinion and you should be embarrassed but I expect instead you'll double down.

But of a slippery slope. What else do we need to encode?

A barcode doesn't have enough bits to be unique and also contain useful information. It's just a unique identifier that can be used to look up a wide variety of information.

For bolts, it could be metal grade, thread pitch, load ratings, manufacturer info etc
