Turns out these guys did it (of course) but they kind of cheated by putting a ball of foil in it. Not as dangerous as I would have figured.
Please be sure to record if/when you try this!
I would guess the risk of fumes igniting from an internal spark in the MW would be more likely than heating the gas sufficiently for it to explode.
(place camera at least 20 feet from oven to escape blast-radius just in case I'm mistaken!)
Well Sam's Gas requires membership to buy gas, thus I'm sure your freeDUMs mandate you not have a membership there or at Costco. And they DO NOT ACCEPT CASH.
You sound like the sovereign citizens screaming about their freeDUMs. Furthermore, you are free to fucking buy gas elsewhere. Your fake outrage is laughable. But you don't drive anyway, as you ain't going to knuckle under to the systems requirements for being licensed, having a tag and insurance on your car... or did someone just lick the red off your candy when you posted your little rant?
If you enjoy corporations profiting off exploiting your privacy then go ahead and install all these stupid apps. That CANNOT be compared to needing a license to drive. Though these days it seems you need a license and permits for practically everything and it's only getting worse. Driving is understandable because you don't just want some random person driving vehicles around on public roads, but then some places require a license for simply flying a drone, that's way too far.
I don't know why wanting more freedom in life is seen as a bad thing. People who don't like freedom and want the government to tell them what to do are weak minded and can't make smart decisions for themselves.
The powers that be have been trying to justify the elimination of cash for a long time for exactly this reason. They would like nothing more than to track where every cent we spend goes.
You know how it goes .... just because you're paranoid DOES NOT mean they ARE NOT out to get you!

Most people know they use cellulose in food as an anti caking agent and filler, but he thought they put cellulose that had been treated with fire retardant in food.
To be clear, you don't need the app to buy gas; the pumps accept credit cards too. It's just another way to pay.The minute some gas station forces me to install some stupid app just so I can put gas in my car, I'm not going to that station anymore. Sadly I think that's what a lot of EV charge stations require now too. So annoying. I don't like installing arbitrary crap on my devices and now they seem to be designing everything to force us to. It's all so they can spy on us and collect personal data. That shit needs to be illegal, it's taking over every aspect of our lives.
Just where the fuck did I say it was "needed".I'm confused .... are you arguing in favor of needing to use an app on a smartphone to buy gas?
I've long since given up worrying too much about "Big Brother" since Google et-all already knows the vast majority of our darkest secrets but stuff like that is just annoying. (also REALLY dumb in the case of pumping gas specifically)
Well, since you are probably of the ilk that can't bypass buying a scratch off or lottery ticket at the convenience store, and enjoy paying more for your gas, fucking go for it. Of course your transactions must be in cash, else you are also surrendering your freedoms as your CC company tracks your purchases. And cover the license plate on your vehicle and wear your COVID mask, dark glasses and a hoodie to ensure your imaginary 'privacy'.If you enjoy corporations profiting off exploiting your privacy then go ahead and install all these stupid apps.

OBTW, if you think you have any privacy, I'd like to talk to you about an opportunity for some prime beach property in Kansas.
What the fuck are you hiding, the fact you purchased gas? Yea talk about extreme and ridiculous.You are being extreme and ridiculous. While it might be hard to have 100% privacy it does not mean you just give up completely. Yeah credit card companies and banks have access to my transactions, but apps have access to everything I do on a 24/7 basis. They can listen to me, track my location, see my texts, phone calls, my internet browsing, try to scan my network for stuff that can be exploited (joke's on them though my wifi is on a separate vlan for that reason) etc... Apps are basically surrendering your life over to a corporation so they can mine as much data as possible from you. Discrete apps for simple things that should be doable without one are only there for one reason, and it's to act as a trojan horse.
And if you say "I have nothing to hide" that's like not caring about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.
Well we know you ain't vegan, or even eat green vegetables. Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants. Just eat meat that ate cellulose?

Clearly, you should move no further up the phone technology tree than the most basic flip phone, and without any data on your plan. Leave your credit cards at home in a small safe in a Faraday cage.No need to pay with cash, just don't willingly install malware on your devices. That's exactly what these apps are it's spyware. So many companies are pushing apps for things that should not even require a phone. The only reason is so they can use your phone against you by running in the background and collecting ever bit of info they can on your life. They will get way more info than what a simple credit card transaction will give, since they can run 24/7. Phones in general are quite terrible for privacy and the whole OS ecosystem sucks, but by installing every single app that's being pushed to you by companies you're putting yourself even more at risk.
I wish the Librem phone had taken off since I was eyeing it, but the project pretty much flopped. Seems people now days just don't care about privacy and are letting corporations walk all over them, it's sad really.
Is a Faraday cage really enough protection these days?Clearly, you should move no further up the phone technology tree than the most basic flip phone, and without any data on your plan. Leave your credit cards at home in a small safe in a Faraday cage.

I have never used a phone to buy gas. And AFAIK you can't at Costco. I always pay there with their credit card.Well Sam's Gas requires membership to buy gas, thus I'm sure your freeDUMs mandate you not have a membership there or at Costco. And they DO NOT ACCEPT CASH.

Freedom is great stuff but unregulated populace filled with nincompoops and jerks is trouble. Of course, drones have to be regulated. Some real bad shit has happened because of drones. For instance, in an emergency situation when planes or helicopters are needed they can be grounded because of fools' drones.If you enjoy corporations profiting off exploiting your privacy then go ahead and install all these stupid apps.

My point was that Costco a requires a membership to buy gas, not that you can buy gas with your phone there.I have never used a phone to buy gas. And AFAIK you can't at Costco. I always pay there with their credit card.

In the Sam's vs. Costco debate, Sam's is hands down the winner in using technology to provide convenience, with the app with Scan & Go and gas purchases. Costco hands down winner for their check-out process/staffing.
AFAIK there are no Sam's around here, so can't compare. Also AFAIK there's nothing around here anything like Costco but Costco. Love 'em. Yes, you need membership. I don't think their Visa CC is required, but it really is nice:My point was that Costco a requires a membership to buy gas, not that you can buy gas with your phone there.

We still get online notices from the USPS "package could not be delivered, no one home" when we actually watched the mailman drive past our drive. Lazy, forgetful, doesn't give a shit?Remember when:
UPS, Fedex, etc. used to leave notes on your door saying they tried to deliver a package but you weren't home to sign. 3 attempts and the package would be returned to sender? I hated that!!!!!
I guess maybe USPS and Amazon did that too.
I really dig how nowadays they send you emails telling you what day something's going to come and that something was just left at your door. Barcode technology has really revolutionized a lot of commerce.
