Well with 14+ million members it must be somebody's on here!
If you are reading this, and it is your birthday at the time of reading, then HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
If it isn't your birthday today, then come back tomorrow and try again!

I've bought new stainless steel thermos, which are advertised to "Keeps Hot to 14Hrs".
They arrived yesterday, so I'm just testing them (I've got a funeral 4 hours away next Monday, so I'd like hot coffee available for 12 hours t cover driving there and back).
Pour boiling water in, measure it with a thermocouple, check every hour till I go to bed.
I end up with values that end up like this:
Hours C
0.00 93
1.00 91
2.00 88
3.00 86
4.00 82
6.00 78
7.00 75
9.50 70
14.00 63
16.00 60 All I want is a simple scatter chart, with hours as X axis, and degrees C as Y ... a "best fit" trend line would be nice, but I have a red biro so it's not essential (that's the Advanced Version).
Can I persuade it to do that? It seems not. I've now got a YouTube video to watch which promises to show me how, but ... the amount of time I've wasted on this this morning, I could have used an SQL DB, the Chart Control and banged out a documented, GIT based WinForms app and still had time for another coffee ... 
Heck in the four minutes the YouTube video runs, I could have chucked together an undocumented Winforms app with the Chart control and a fixed set of values. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll just seethe a bit instead, and post the CCC ...
Why do people make simple stuff so pointlessly difficult?

That is to allow other people to make youtube videos about it. All that for the sake of letting you drink more coffee while watching for youtube videos on a monday morning

I've already watched one - but that was ThisOldTony on making a square rotary broach.
Good video, but not relevant to charting, I'm glad to say!

I dont know if Im missing the point
I pasted the values into a sheet, went to insert|chart
picked scatter
and it was there - Id post a pic if I knew how
Running Version: 6.3.3.2 (x64) if that helps
maybe not as pretty as excel, but it will do

1. Take a photo.
2. Copy it to your computer.
3. Import it into Libre Impress.
4. Take a screenshot.
5. Paste the screenshot into IrfanView.
6. Save it as a jpg or png file.
7. Upload it to Imgur.
8. Post the address here.

Well, you could also add:
3.1 Save the presentation as PDF.
3.2 Open the PDF file.
But I didn't want to unnecessarily complicate things.

If you put boiling water in, shouldn't the first reading say 100C?
When my father went hunting he always rinsed the thermos with boiling water before pouring the coffee in. To make it last one more hour.

In theory, yes - but we aren't at sea level (which means the temperature at which water boils is lower), the atmospheric pressure is low today (ditto), kettles don't "boil" water anyway.
And most important of all, it's a cheap thermocouple (or thermistor, I'm not sure which)...

But you aren't at 8000 ft either.  I doubt you're even at 800 ft.
And while 1000 mB (at sealevel) is slightly less than 1013 I don't think it affects the boiling temperature even noticably.
OriginalGriff wrote: And most important of all, it's a cheap thermocouple (or thermistor, I'm not sure which)
Oh, that's definitely affecting the reading quite a bit, but if it's six degrees off you should consider buying a new one.

Assuming you just dumped water from your kettle directly into the bottle I also suspect a burst of rapid heat loss as the interior of the bottle is warmed from room temperature is probably a bigger factor than anything short of possible measurement error in your thermometer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
