Definitely going to build this, I’ve been worried I might miss a nuke going off for a while now and this looks like just the thing!

I wonder what PDC's test and warranty processes are.

Hopefully, it's not like this:

Customer: "Hello, can you hear me? I'd like a refund in gold or survival meals."

Tech support: "Sorry, what?"

Customer: "It didn't work!"

Tech support: "Did you try turning it on and off again?"

Customer: "There's nothing left to reset. There's no plug, button, wire, or electricity, only a smoking crater. But at least it should've last a few milliseconds." [0]

Tech support: "I'm afraid I'm going to need a valid serial number, vendor ID, order number, and support contract PIN to proceed providing exceptional service."

Customer: "Oh well, corporate tech support flowcharts strike again. It was worth a shot. Go into the wasteland in peace, my friend."
