Steve, there were many ways you *could* have chosen to address this
issue. You instead *chose* to address it as an asshole.

You missed asking if there were adaptions on my end to shift or check
the temperature (silly man, flip the lid over and use a bamboo stick
for a minimal rise but then, that takes a bit of braincells).

Dropping 20F with a propped lid is a no-brainer for most people.
