@gigabecquerel Thankfully not a daily occurrence for me. The best counter I have for that is "BeO is expensive, using it is not possible at the domestic microwave oven price point." And then "Regulations require BeO containing devices to be marked as containing BeO, and no consumer electronics manufacturer wants to put a skull and crossbones on their device."
