    Can I go on eBay and buy back the first 2 minutes and 22 seconds I lost watching that video? #cancrusher

    That cap is puny when compared to the ones I saw in the hallway outside the office of Harold Edgerton at MIT in 1980. They were about 3' cubes!

    Everyone who was anticipating that huge capacitor to blow up, say "I".

    Aye.

    Next time, put a lab rat wraped in alluminum foil. I mean that is the technical, regular application of lab rats when it comes to this kind of wizardry right? Hocus pocus! #cancrusher

    I thought about making a BT communicator but I didn't want to have something else to carry around in my pocket.

    Besides, I'd rather have one of these...

    Or, you could just run the wires across the floor. It ain't pretty but when you don't host many non-nerd types, no one really cares.

    Also, 100 foot Cat6 cables for $21 from Newegg after tax and shipping? Why not? #diyethernetwiring

    To be fair because Pyro controls fire rather than creating it, this sort of thing is perfect for him. He's often depicted with some form of flamethrower on him anyway. #pyrowristmountedflamethrower

    Or if you are feeling daring just buy a replacement bezel from ChinaOnTrade . $25 and you have to take a part your phone, but it will be brand new.
