The new thermostat is now at 69.5, and it feels enough like my parents' place in here (routinely heated to 68) that I no longer suspect the thermometer in the new box is wrong; I now suspect that the thermometer in the old box was insane, and so half my problem all this time is that when it said 65 it was actually heating the place to past 70. (I adjusted it by what it felt like in the apartment, not by what it said - but jesus.)
