AC compressor packed up at 170k+

Wow, never knew that. Learn something every day. I will be looking at the duster cans in a whole new light. I always thought they simply contained compressed air, guess not.

They would last for about six seconds.

Liquid gas evaporates and provides extended release.

The more interesting one is "green gas" used for air soft.

I noticed the fill port looked like butane refill so i was wondering if i could fill my airsoft gun with butane and use a flame to get a muzzle flare.

Turns out green gas is either propane or butane with a little oil added and sure enough a flame at the muzzle shot a flame about 6 inches!

It lasted only about 200 msec "pop" but when filming at 240 fps it came out awesome!

True, but unless the government pulls in next to you with an air sampler van I wouldn't sweat it..

This is just like when they switched to corn based plastic bags at the store so the bags would disintegrate in 2 years underground or 2 months of sun (UV) exposure all while saving trees and then told us it is just as harmful to the environment.

For all practical purpose there is no decomposing that goes on in a landfill and it'll never be dug up so unless you plan to toss your bag on the side of a highway I'm not sure the point of a bag that decompresses other than when used for compost in which case I'd be much more comfortable using a bucket i dump and not adding lots of corn plastic to confuse the mix.

Even the amount of anaerobic decomposing is fairly limited. I've seen studies that show ten year old hot dogs that are clearly still hot dogs.

We want less decomposition in landfill than more. Decomposing in a landfill creates "greenhouse gas" and actual one not CO₂ which is literally plant food.

Totally off topic but we are back to paper bags here, at least as an option. I forgot how nice paper bags are, easier to pack, totally recyclable, less likely that you forgot them in the car or didn't bring enough not full of germs, pet air,and who knows what that comes off the previous people's bags!

Or, now hear me out....

Evacuate the R134 into a paper bag.

Using plastic straws!

Paper straws are more environmental friendly.
