Forum posts have an ‘Edit’ link, but when you click on it you can’t actually edit the post.

(Edit links on article comments are missing altogether.)

Comment sorting doesn’t work properly – Newest and Oldest still appear threaded, and seem to be sorting by the newness of the thread (i.e. the date of the original post in the thread) instead of newness of the last comment, so Newest is effectively the same as Threaded, and Oldest is the reverse of that. (Which means a new comment can be buried away on a thread in the middle of the sort.)

On tablet, I’m getting a phone view, so for example in the comment carousel it will only show one comment at a time instead of three, but taking up mahoosive amounts of space so that it shows whole paragraphs of text instead of just a snippet.

On the log out issue, I’m finding that it often looks like I’m being logged out, but if I refresh the page, I’m actually still logged in.

However, if I do try to use the log in links, instead of logging me in and sending back to the page I was on, it logs me in and dumps me on the homepage.

The tea should be brewed before it ever gets to the cup anyway – in a Proper Teapot.

Just seems a bit suspect to say it has 0.1g precision if a single bean which weighs more than 0.1g can’t provide the force to register

It does have 0.1g precision. It just doesn’t have 0.1g accuracy.

[Edit: should have finished reading through the thread – HP got there before me.]

I probably deserved that. Of course, the follow on question is whether I can trust my scales to weigh 100 beans accurately in the first place. 

Take 100 sets of scales and repeat it on each of them, then score them on (a) variance (low to high), and (b) proximity of the mean reading for that scale to the median mean of all scales, then use the scales that have the best combined score.
