As to the teleporter-crow banger story, apparently the dead guy had the noisemaker set up in a shed on his land, which made it even louder that it normally would be, and had it set to go off every 4.6 minutes all day. The neighbour says he was driven berserk and just beamed him all the way up to heaven.

 Nasty long forklift forks on the front, unless you have the haybales ones which seem more metal:  I think they are more commonly known as telehandlers

I'm going to guess a "crow-banger" is a bird cannon (which is not as  as it sounds)Teleporter = forks on a tractor for moving hay, maybe? Still unsure on that one. E: ^^ there we go, about what I figured on the "teleporter"

Tiggum posted:What do they think hazing is? How could that be anything else? Hazing being an initiation thing forced on people. From the sounds of it the kids were most likely doing some stupid dare type activity rather than a forced hazing ritual. Never discount what sort of stupid people will get up to for a dare / peer recognition.

Tiggum posted:Isn't peer pressure exactly the way that hazing works though? Like, no one's being held at gunpoint or anything, it's just a bunch of people saying "if you don't do this then you're not one of us", which is exactly what you're saying happened here? Usually hazing is more someone forcing someone else to do something, but not also participating (e.g. seniors forcing freshman to do stupid stuff). I guess in this case they decided there wasn’t anyone “pressuring” them to do it except themselves, and not as any sort of initiation but just out of collective stupidity

I was literally late for work the other day because my cat came in from the rain so I had to dry her off with a towel, pet her, and then feed her so this is entirely understandable

Monday - Friday: Lectures from 8 AM (8:15 because academia) to 12:00, lunch break Three days of the week: 1 PM - 6 PM (usually): lab courses There was no choice on anything in this curriculum. Admittedly none* of the lectures was required, but you better attend or you're gonna fail. *or some? It's been a while, and I went to every one in the first two semesters anyway, and that's why I'm still a Chemist.

My engineer and doctor friends all had insane schedules like that. By contrast, I wisely* elected to major in sociology and still didn't show up to most of my classes *not wisely

Take a coffee and make notes on autopilot. gently caress, bring a voice recorder or something. 7 A.M. for a loving final exam, however, is some grade-A bullshit.
