I left my DMM on for 3 days!

Post by nbabmf »

I just looked over and saw the display was on. I'm probably going to need a new battery soon.

At least it can't burn the house down. I left my soldering iron on for 3 days once, and I was lucky to still have a house.

I love the smell of solder in the morning.
