      Yeah, it’s weird. Like yes, all these people put in a lot of effort to make sure that when people could die from equipment failure, we make sure that equipment is very, very good. Adding zeros to the price is the cost of that.

        Lemmy has a very strong libertarian slant and I think that a lot of people have this perspective that all costs are unreasonably inflated for stuff like this. They can’t see how it could be useful to have standards.
