I've had to use an EpiPen twice in my life. Oh my gosh, the terror in your heart when you're self administering it is real. I will never forget the experience for the rest of my life. I don't want to trust some hack with no FDA approval in that moment.
I don't give a damn if the product is $50 or $500. I will buy it, it's saved my life many times. Its not awesome to see a hacker point out while the materials are cheap
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoImagine the terror if you can't afford one, and you need one. The hack wouldn't be so unwelcome then?
- snow_mac 10y agoIf you had an issue where you needed one, nothing would stop you from getting one no matter the cost

- pwinnski 10y agoIf it's a case of cutting back on the coffee budget to ensure one always has an epipen handy, of course you're right. If it's a case of having to choose between paying the paying the electricity bill and buying an epipen, and you have to guess at the probability of you needing an epipen in the next month vs the certainty of the electric company shutting off your power, with the extra fees and penalties that'll cost to turn it back on, "no matter the cost" is no longer the standard to use.
