Burn Your Lunch With A USB Lunchbox

—

By Luke Anderson I’ve worked in a couple of places that had some really disgusting microwaves in the break room. One sticks out particularly well in my mind. A brilliant co-worker of mine accidentally put some sort of frozen dinner in it and set the timer very, very wrong. ...
