this happened to me because i work at target and i was silly enough to fall for it. she wanted to schedule a zoom with her “mentor” but wouldn’t tell me any other information and said “we’ll go over it on zoom.” luckily, by that point i had caught on but super annoying.

Probably someone too lazy to walk inside because they make you pay before pumping gas there.

(Which is why I never go there because unless you’re psychic you will always overpay or leave with a tank that’s not full)

I was wrong...it's r600a that is isobutane...it's a replacement for r12 and r134 and favored because of it's low global warming potential according to some website after 2 minutes of googling. Sounds correct to me though. Edit. I just read that it is the preferred choice for domestic refrigerators worldwide...It's used by most major OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) in domestic refrigeration applications. Am I the only one worried about having a relatively large amount of isobutane in my kitchen? I know if it leaks enough it would only take one spark from something in most kitchens...light switches, relays, or the pilot light if you have a gas stove...heck alot of older homes I've worked on in Richmond had gas water heaters in the kitchen itself or in a pantry...

I would have figured all of the old r22 units and ones that use the other ozone depleting gases have failed and been a thing of the past by now. Unfortunately alot of scrappers do release the refrigerants into the atmosphere...I used to wonder why on earth a manufacturer would use a highly flammable refrigerant in some newer products...now I think they are trying to blow up people that cut the line and release it in the air...lol just one spark and it would be a pretty healthy and hot fireball or flame thrower if it's still venting...if I remember correctly r410 might be something like ISO butane? I'm probably not remember right...

This is a common Amway script. The progression is:

  1. “Those are nice shoes!”
  2. “Are you a runner?”
  3. “It’s important to have a hobby.”
  4. “I have a lot of free time for hobbies nowadays since I started my own business.”
  5. Then they introduce you to their coach.
