Personnel

gollark: You could work out a worst-case scenario by calculating how much energy is needed to raise all the blood in a human to 100 degrees, then dividing that by the microwave's power output.
gollark: Also, you should run video over TOSLINK instead.
gollark: Technically, it's packet-based or something, so you could run data over it.
gollark: I think we should replace USB with DisplayPort.
