There's an old saying, "one judges the merit of a society not by how it treats its strongest, but by how it treats its weakest".

What do you think?

😂 thanks, that's the best reply so far

I mean... Depends on goals.

Phew, we've got enough crud to sort through up here haha. What a shame to have the decree.

Sure thing, glad to be of some kinda help. Ozone can be a good irritant, never mind charged dust sticking to stuff it ordinarily wouldn't.

I hope this company has a trick for dust control, but I'm expecting that'd be tougher than figuring out the ionic wind part.

Sigh. I dunno man, point is, fuck this human-arson shitbag.

Sure. It'd have to be a lot though, just used to it boiling off very rapidly at anything above freezing temperatures.

Looking at the weather in NYC, it is below freezing right now, so maybe it really was butane, as the boiling point is around -1°C/30°F...

Regardless, this is fucked up.

Haven't tried it. Strange, the boiling point of butane is -3°C, so that has to be a lot of butane to delay boil-off for that long.

Maybe you're thinking of naphtha? That's what old, cotton wick lighters used, but butane gasifies within 30s max. Might leave an odor/residue on your hands but that's not particularly flammable.

Old skool lighter and the low pressure can of naphtha in the back, high pressure butane cylinder right:

Strange, patented means it should be findable on the USPTO system, diagrams and all. And yet..

Can one do a double-take with their eyes alone? Lol
