You get in the bin to feed the remainder into the auger, and the grain falls on you. - [View Tweet](https://twitter.com/RedHillsTobacco/status/1462621805932388360) ### id252285964 > Similar to being caught in an avalanche, you can die of suffocation and usually nobody realizes there's been a problem. If the auger is still running, you will become the thing it tried to auger out. - [View Tweet](https://twitter.com/RedHillsTobacco/status/1462622267272278016) ### id252285965 > So yeah, little grain bin roomba thing, you get my approval. - [View Tweet](https://twitter.com/RedHillsTobacco/status/1462622692222377989)
