This "subscription model for everything under the sun" is killing me. I hate it

Wish I was more active around here. I just moved to the area. Maybe next time!

So I'm looking at setting the temperature offset first thing once the machine arrives. I've watched Jim Schulman's video for setting it and tried to glean information from some of the posts here. I live at a high altitude and water boils at 197.36 F or close to 91.8C. Anyone else live at high altitu...
