| 0:00.0 | Let's do this. Let's go. Wake up every morning with Sarah Invinor in the hell. |
| 0:04.6 | Alessette 973. There's a lab in upstate New York called a lab. Yeah, lab. |
| 0:11.3 | Okay. It's in a school. It's a, but it's one of those things where I just |
| 0:17.2 | looked up the pronunciate. Rensseler. Rensseler. Rensseler. That's it. Okay. |
| 0:21.5 | There's a lab in upstate New York called Rensseler Polytechnic Institute. |
| 0:25.5 | And they're suing a cleaning company because three years ago, a janitor who was working there, |
| 0:32.1 | ruined decades worth of research. |
| 0:38.3 | So everybody who works in any kind of office place, you might even deal with this at your home if |
| 0:44.4 | you have a cleaning crew come in once a week or twice a week, you know, twice a month. |

| 1:30.0 | there were signs there explaining, this is normal. Here's how you fix it if it's bothering you. |
| 1:35.7 | Here's how you can mute the alarm. Okay. |
| 1:40.5 | The janitor found the beeping to be annoying. So he unplugged the freezer. |
| 1:44.4 | Oh, there's a solution. That caused the temperature to slowly rise from minus |
| 1:52.1 | 112 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 25.6 enough to wipe out 25 years of research. |
