Ever wonder what's inside a Furby? How they work? Or what the differences between the generations are?

I lent one of almost every kind of Furby to my friend to get put through a CT-scanner to find out!

Roommate Cryptid is probably on a list.

So Roommate Cryptid bought himself a Hacksmith Gen 2 Mini Saber, aka a butane torch that looks like a lightsaber. ("Why? 'Cause it looks cool!") It came in red. He likes red.

He also bought some butane to fuel said life choice. And here the problem begins.

This week, the butane arrived. Amazon is not licensed to sell butane in California, so they don't ship it here. RC therefore ordered from Home Depot, the preferred source for all ill-considered uses of flammable substances.

Unortunately, RC did not know that small cans of butane come with different nozzle sizes, and that only a specific size could be used to fill his Mini Saber. He also did not know that the button he clicked to order (he thought) two 8 oz cans was in fact the button to order two four-packs of 8 oz cans.

64 ounces of butane. For those following along at home, that's half a gallon, roughly equivalent to 1.9 liters of camping stove fuel. And of course, the nozzles are the wrong size, so that's half a gallon of butane he can't use.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's on a watch list now. And since he can't legally sell or ship the stuff in California, any suggestions for ways to legally dispose of boom gas (is this a thing that can be donated?) are now welcome.

Edit, 5 min later: HE JUST BOUGHT MORE BUTANE. It will be here tomorrow. Gods have mercy.
