Figure out how to pull apart the group head to give it a good clean (at least removing the shower screen). All machines need that occasionally, work machines get absolutely rank.

Yeah nah, that’s not the way. Sure people can get away with it, but it’s really not eliminating the hazards.

There’s a bunch of non-obvious hazards which exist around cutting into containers which have held fuels, including but not limited to:
- An empty propane container could have an gas+air mixture inside it in proportions which could explode.
- Any liquid residue in an empty fuel container can be vapourised by the heat of the cutting, creating a fuel+air mix which can spontaneously explode from the pressure and heat, even without sparks (think: diesel engine but instead of a 0.25L cylinder but a 200L cylinder).
- An empty gas canister can be contaminated with heavier oils/waxes that could build up over the years of refilling cycles, creating the same hazard as noted for empty liquid fuel containers.
Methods to reduce the hazard include:
- Thoroughly washing the inside of the container before cutting (access can be difficult though).
- Filling with water and cutting while full of water. (Container musn’t be sealed, and the cutting method must be safe to use in a wet environment, and further hazards such as introducing oxygen into the container need to be considered).

yess… I too always remember to artfully leave the brand name visible when engaging in totally-not-guerilla-marketing on a meta-campaign by an advertising company.

[Meta]Currently 3 upvotes, 13 downvotes. Interesting.What do up/down votes mean? On a post, I always figured an upvote to mean "This is relevant to the community and should be posted here.", and a downvote to mean "This is irrelevant to the community or should not have be posted here.".
[/Meta]I'm not really sure what to make of the linked blog post -- I think x-compasses are an oversimplification, that the fediverse has moved and diversified since the post was written, and now lemmy instances are quite a prominent mode of engagement in the fediverse; but some of the problems and stereotypes they painted in the post are still recognisable today, however inaccurate the depiction may be.
