@ifixcoinops I might have missed some parts, the thread displays with some confusing nesting here on the app. Personally I prefer the cold method, we have a few nights every year where you can put stuff out in the cold over night and the sticky tape just falls off in the morning. Works great on […]

@ai6yr oh no, I am hurting the economy, too. If I notice that a customer is burning through temperature sensors very quickly, I talk to them and try to switch them to better, more durable sensors. Hurts my business and the economy in the short term, but it is the right thing to do...
