A comment on Poe’s best-selling book during his lifetime was a guide to seashells.

I use 6.5 digit calibrated multimeter, precision programmable power supply and programmable load (all from Keysight) to discharge/charge my car's battery:) In total the equipment to do this is almost the cost of the car.

As a bonus I get nice chart and precise measurement of battery capacity:)

Likewise I have precision data logging laboratory thermometer, with current calibration (to 0.01C) to measure temperature of bread dough. Not strictly in category of overkill -- I am running experiments to come up with formula to calculate exact perfect bread dough recipes, taking temperature into account.

You clicked reply, then that post in another tab, then submit. Is this easy to engineer around? Yes, but they haven’t.

Well, it is possible that this exact scenario happened. I don't remember exactly what I did but it definitely wasn't the case of clicking reply, writing comment and submitting it. I also opened this comment section but I don't remember if it was before or while I was authoring the comment.

In any case this is the first time it happened for me and I comment regularly.
