I suspect that an 82 to 88 degree coffee cup wouldn't do that, but an indifferently microwaved cup definitely could get super heated above boiling point, making it a dangerous thing to do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheating

Have I proof? No. Does it fit the evidence? Mostly.

Is it impossible that a McDonalds branch would use up the last of a cool coffee pot by heating it and then avoid admitting it to the Corporation?

He got legal advice and tried to go after them for compensation, but got a response that essentially translated to "it was a hot coffee, you should have been more careful. Also please note our lawyers are way more expensive than yours".

Probably over caffeinated looking at the stack of work I've plowed through today!

I'm just intimidated by your guitars and don't feel capable of doing them justice. But if we have another Wellyfest ever I would love to have a thrash. And I don't discuss design decisions because I don't know anything about guitars.

I'm the same, I'm really nervous about touching let alone playing people's custom guitars, homebuilt or otherwise!!
