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.

It’s the voltage.

An “Alkaline” AA cell is 1.5v at new and it slowly tapers off as it discharges.

A “rechargeable” AA is 1.2v fully charged, and stays there until about 30% charge (IIRC, it’s been decades since I used them) then the voltage falls off a cliff.

From that you can see that a device that uses two AAs is designed to run at 3v, but when you use rechargeables, they only kick out 2.4v.

(They’ll do that 2.4v for a lot more AmpHours than the alkaline can do their 3v, and can be stuffed full of electrons to do it over and over again though)

Like everything in engineering it’s about the right tool for the job. 💛

Urgh, no. I have ADHD, I get prescribed methylphenidate hydrochloride. I take it because it makes my brain work a little better.

At a recreational dose though? No. Urgh, fuck no. The comedown was fucking awful. Zero appetite, can’t sleep, can’t think properly, just why? 💛

What the English speaking news will tell you about the trouble we have here with “right wing protesters” would lead you to the same conclusions. Like they’re trying to normalise the opinion of fucking scum

What they won’t usually point out: Steven Yaxley-Lennon leads groups of 90s hooligan “firms” (whose sole reason for existence is football violence) around lLondon trying to pick fights with the police under the guise of a “right wing protest”.

Yaxley-Lennon is better known by his carefully crafted persona “Tommy Robinson”. Even the name is chosen to evoke a certain patriotic feeling in… “Certain generations” (Pensioners, mostly).

He’s a bell end. He’s always been a bell end. I had the dubious pleasure of meeting him when I was working as a games press outfit’s tech monkey over a decade ago at Gamescom in Cologne.

Every other word out of his mouth was a business buzzword, he’s smarmy and smug, my skin crawled the whole time he was present.

It looks like he’s as high on his own farts now as he was back then.
