Its been ages, but I had a problem like this when I was younger. A little bit of insulation, some wires, and a 12kv 30mA neon sign transformer attached to my doorknob ended these problems with a nice electrical burn. My parents were pretty pissed, but my brother never went in my room again when the door was closed. A safer alternative would be to invest in a lock.

Honestly it's not even about the room anymore. It's about him blatantly disregarding my authority to my own stuff! Just when I trust him again he goes and pulls a 180. He doesn't know right from wrong, morally or literally. He's lied straight to my face even when I'm dangling cold hard evidence right in front of him. I could record him on camera poking around in my shit, and he'd still deny it, that's how bad he is. My only cure will be to never see him again. I don't even have a desire to be on good terms. I just want him to go away.

Hehe, nice idea! What completes the circuit though, what do you connect the other terminal of the transformer to? And how do you get out of the room?

I would keep the note he left you. Keep it and read it later. There might be something important on there. Probably not, but maybe. Perhaps read it once you move out, so you don't feel so involved, or the need to reply or retaliate.

> What completes the circuit though
At 12kv, if the circuit isn't grounded, you still get a bit of a shock... enough to wake you up. I simply cut an inverted V in the insulation of one high voltage wire (leaving the core intact) for an inch or so and tucked the wire under the knob. The other wire went to the knob on the inside. The knob to the core of the insulated wire made the circuit, through your hand and fingers when gripping the knob.
Do not do this around doors with metal frames. Learned this the hard way. I was leaning against the metal frame (which grounded me through my back) when I picked up the live wire. Arced right through my shirt and goosed me like a demon. Luckily, when my back (uncontrollably) arched, the circuit was broken.
As many times with as many things that I have shocked myself with, I am lucky to be alive. The 12kv at 30ma from hand to back is probably one of the worst.
I also figured out that if you arc 12kv at 30ma to the metal door frames in a certain college dorm, you set off the building fire alarm.

off topic but i had to.......what do you mean hip hop culture remains untouched and unaffiliated? Hip Hop culture is very much affiliated, really people think hip hop started in ciphers on the street corners with one guy beat boxing and another rhyming. But actually the entire hip hop culture gets its roots from the 5% nation of gods and earths. The 5% for those that dont know, is a bastardized version of the Nation Of Islam. They believe that the worlds populace is made up of 85% sheep, or deaf dumb and blind, no knowledge of self, then the 10%, who have knowledge of self but abuse that knowledge by controlling the 85%, then theres the poor righteous teachers 5%, their main cause is to wake up the deaf dumb and blind and make them righteous, this is where the phrase "each one teach one" comes from. Also they had these little 'tests' to see if you study the lessons (120, theres 120 lessons they teach and you must memorize them) they called it 'show and proove' and theyd get in a circle (aka cipher) and cross there arms right over left (bboy stance) feet pointing slightly outward (in california called a 'crip stance') and recite the lessons prooving they are true the their cause. If you were black back in the day in ny and didnt know your lessons youd get beat up. The list goes on and on but yea hip hop is 5% nation affiliated 100%.

This is why I think people with less than 1,000 posts should not be able to bump old threads. Stupid noobs bump old as fuck threads that generally are completely off topic. The fuck?

He was forced into a halfway house from drug court. Now he lives a few towns over with his girlfriend and her son. He's 2 years clean and he rarely visits. We get along great

You just need to get away from your bother for a while.
You don't hate him.
You're kinda being a child about this.
