5:53
servers oh you know what
5:58
maybe it was this can of
6:01
hairspray because April Fool's this room
6:07
is not flammable but thank you to everybody in
6:13
the comments who was so concerned for my
6:16
well-being that they thought I was stupid enough to line a room with
6:22
something
6:26
flammable and as a followup to the demon rtion you just saw here's a
6:32
blowtorch here's this
6:36
fabric
6:41
woo I appreciate everybody's concern but
6:45
I mean it's a pretty good practice before
6:49
you crap all over someone to do like 4 seconds of Googling so that you can find
6:54
out
6:59
W that the denim installation every single strand of this stuff is covered
7:06
in a boron fire retardant so yeah can you burn it a little bit sure but it
7:11
puts itself out almost
7:14
immediately hello hello who's there
7:17
that's not actually a cell phone don't worry about it this is Ting customer
7:21
service and we don't correct those little errors yes my friends Ting is the
7:26
mobile carrier that is all about customer satisfaction you call them you
7:30
get put through directly to a person assuming you are using a phone and not
7:34
your hands and there's more good news the average Ting bill is only 23 bucks a
7:39
month because you only pay for exactly
7:42
what you use they've even got lower mobile data rates these days so check
7:46
them out we've got a link in the video description and you can see by just
7:51
entering your last few bills and how much you paid if Ting can save you money
7:57
