Similar, but I would _never_ play fast and loose around batteries of those sizes just because I felt like I won't make "silly mistakes". Everyone, even professionals who have been doing dangerous work for decades, make silly mistakes. That's why professionals don't fuck around. One wrong move with large lithium cells and you've got a massive jet of fire in your workshop that can't be put out.
Similarly, I'm a woodworker and while I feel like I know what I'm doing around a table saw these days, I _always_ make sure to have my adrenaline pumping when making cuts. I Point and Call my safety checklist every single time. I wear my safety glasses for even the simplest cuts off the table saw. And guess what? It has saved my bacon. It's the simple, mundane, "I don't make silly mistakes" days that cost you.
> And wow you're so dramatic
It's better etiquette to address the content of a comment rather than lob insults against the commenter. The former is less argumentative and can be more informative. Strive to enlighten and inform. Nobody learns anything useful from phrases like "you're so dramatic", "Give me a break", "you are giving me a hard time", "Are you kidding me?", "You have no clue what you are talking about", etc.
