This is one of the more unsettling pieces of documentation I've found in a new kitchen appliance.

Also, I don't remember anything else electrical I've ever owned 'smoking a bit'..

I can't decide if printing out my multi-page (almost identical) equations on top of each other on the same sheets of paper to look for differences is an effective form of data visualization or just madness.

I also now appreciate the value of git.

Well, I vaguely remember being in a math fugue state while hacking apart my 32-term equation into workable bits. Apparently, I managed to pick out ONLY the correct bits that I needed WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF IT.

I canceled out the time-dependent sections as part of a series of useful accidents initially and wasn't even aware of their former existence from that point on. I did exactly what I needed to in the name of blind optimization

What the hell.

If there's a feeling as good as when a compulsive behavior justifies its existence by saving the day, I don't know what it is.
