  That’s awesome… And also funny that it had to be added. Thanks for the info!

  I still want to know what happens on an old one without vibration detection or if it was “broken”. I assume something like an unbalanced washing machine but on a smaller scale? It just going out for a stroll :)

    Science is a whole lot of adjusting after someone died. Like, it’s mostly been that.

        Lemmy needs /c/writteninblood. That sub was one of the highlights of education in reddit.

      IMO, you missed the best bit off:

      A shock wave from the accident shattered all four windows in the room. The shock wave also destroyed the control system for an incubator and shook an interior wall causing shelving on the wall to collapse.

    Oh that can absolutely end in a desaster. Like not breaking when driving a car when you absolutely should.
