>Bloomberg reported earlier this month that a running joke at Otto was “safety third.” "Safety third" is a burning man-ism. It's kindof complex to even explain the context for this, but it definitely doesn't mean what it sounds like. An example of this would be: my friends and I build fire effects. Some of the guys on my team are professional propulsion engineers at a company you have heard of, and they build rockets. So when we're building little flame throwers, and they say "safety third", they're saying it as joke, yeah, but their version of "safety third" is "This is only 20x overbuilt, not 50x". To somebody not familiar with how that term is used, it definitely does sound bad, though.
