Soft disagree, if you know that no inspection has been done, then you are aware that there may be unknown risks and act accordingly. A safety inspection done poorly creates a false sense of security that can be dangerous.

Good cast iron is the true BIFL... It'll last your life, then your kid's, then their kid's, then theirs and so on... It needs to be seriously mistreated and neglected for a very long time until it becomes unusable

I agree, I have a Whirlpool version and it's still a tank. I think some of the criticism comes from the fact that the newer mixers use a plastic sacrificial gear, which is designed to fail before the motor. Other than that, they are virtually identical to the Hobart version (you can buy parts from KitchenAid/Whirlpool to repair/restore a Hobart mixer)

Back in the day of time cards, that was more or less how it worked (minus the commute part) the machine was either at the front door or in the break room, and you'd punch in, then go to your station, set up and start. End of day, you'd pack up, then punch out on your way out the door.

Where do you live? Anywhere that has winter you will be certainly replacing a radiator long before that. I have not owned a vehicle that has made it past 250,000km without needing a new radiator and at least some exhaust work.

Your average Microsoft error “error 37253” is worthless to me

This is a security thing. A descriptive error message is useful for troubleshooting, but an error message that is useful enough can also give away information about architecture (especially if the application uses remote resources). Instead, provide an error code and have the user contact support to look up what the error means, and support can walk the user through troubleshooting without revealing architecture info.

Another reason can be i18n/l10n: Instead of keeping translations for thousands of error messages, you just need to translate "An Error Has Occurred: {errnum}"
