    Some things are very dangerous even though for inexperienced they might not seem so. Case in point: the microwave. It has a powerful capacitor and if you try taking it apart, it might shock you even when disconnected from power

      Adding to that, capacitors can take a very long time to discharge. They can still do serious damage after not being connected for months

      Never fuck with a microwave, you’re asking to become the path of least resistance for that capacitor to unload through.
