    I pulled the transformer out of a printer cord. I thought everyone was talking about something completely different than the brick with copper wrapped around inside it. I wasn't gonna bother with the copper, but then it hit me that I could have left the whole thing alone and sold the entire cord, transformer and all, as insulated at my local yard. Transformer price is a lot less than insulated wire, so I was a little mad. Just a reminder, don't pull out the transformer if you don't bother taking the copper off and your yard will pay for the whole thing as insulated.

    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
