Is that a key fob hanging from a key that is still in the lock that turns the thing on? Nice!

I dropped my mobile phone in a horizontal cardboard crusher and climbed in to look for it and within like ½ a minute I can hear someone shouting "where the hell is the key I can't turn the crusher on" outside. (Naturally I'd removed the key because I'm not a complete idiot.)

e: Also they threw in a bag of unopened computer mouse packages. That was what they wanted to crush in the cardboard crusher.

Coins thrown into plane engine by elderly lady for good luck cause delay in China

An elderly woman has delayed a plane for more than five hours, after she attempted to throw a handful of coins into its engine for good luck.

The passenger was boarding China Southern Airlines flight CZ380, from Shanghai to Guangzhou, when she threw nine coins towards the plane's jet engine.

I have scar on my neck from one of the metal ties snapping back at me when trying to dump a bail onto a skid.

The grocery store by my house uses a fork lift to stack bails two high out back. At my store we were told under no circumstances should bails be left outside unless the driver is there to pick them up. These guys basically build a paintball course out of them.

(CNN) It's normal to expect a certain level of scrutiny when a company wants to hire an intern. That scrutiny is not usually based on swimwear.

tl;dr: Apparently, a power company tried hiring interns based on number of facebook likes of their bikini pictures. This backfired.

Minnesota woman charged with fatally shooting boyfriend in failed YouTube video stunt

StarTribune posted:

A 19-year-old woman shot at a book her boyfriend was holding against his chest, killing him at close range outside their northwestern Minnesota home in what was a video-recorded stunt gone awry, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday.

...

Ruiz held up the book — described by County Attorney James Brue as a hardcover encyclopedia — and Perez pulled the trigger on a .50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol, trying to see whether the bullet would go through, according to the criminal complaint.

The Desert Eagle is described by retailer Cabela's in an online ad as "one of the world's most powerful semiautomatic handguns."

Brue said there are "multiple videos" of the shooting, and they will not be released publicly at this time.

Ruiz's aunt told WDAY-TV that the shooting outside the couple's home on Hwy. 75, with their 3-year-old daughter nearby, was part of a stunt they intended to post on YouTube.

"He had told me about that idea," the aunt told the TV station, "and I said, 'Don't do it. Don't do it. Why are you going to use a gun? Why?' "

She quoted him as replying, " 'Because we want more viewers. We want to get famous.' "

...

He had shown her another book that he had shot and the bullet didn't go all the way through, the charging document continued.

"Perez stated that she shot from about a foot away while [Ruiz] held the book to his chest," the complaint read.

gently caress, bedbugs are the worst. After I had an infestation and threw out my mattress, I got a lofted bed with a smooth metal frame, put traps under all 4 feet, and had it mounted 1.5" away from the wall with polished metal posts. I can't say I've had a lot of bug bites in my life, but those were by far the worst. It's like they inject their itch-poison all the way into your meat, and it doesn't just itch, it hurts.

I hope I left a healthy bedbug reservoir for my former landlady when I moved out :3:

Too late, his GF (who shot him) is already pregnant, therefore he is ineligible.

e: My bad, turns out he is definitely eligible:

darwinawards.com posted:

The existence of offspring, though potentially deleterious to the gene pool, does not disqualify a nominee. Children inherit only half of each parent's genetic material and thus have their own chance to survive or snuff themselves. If, for instance, the offspring has inherited the "Play With Combustibles" gene, but also has inherited the "Use Caution When..." gene, then she is a potential innovator and asset to the human race. Therefore, each nominee is judged based on whether or not she has removed her own genes, without consideration to the number of offspring or, in the case of an elderly winner, the likelihood of producing more offspring.

Florida too. Lots of people I talk to are having flea or bedbug infestations. I've personally had the first, now the second. I blame the super mild winter we had here this year, normally we get at least one if not two nice freezes that help keep them under control. This year it barely got below freezing at night more than a handful of times and the bugs are unreal this year.

They didn't even bother, the keys are in the lock. That thing e: looks totally live. Even better, I think he's trying to grab the chain(s) that help tip the bale out, something you can usually do from the back of the machine. poo poo, most problems with those things can be fixed from the rear of the machine.

Tools that should be next to the baler: 10lb sledge, 20lb sledge, milk hook/pin puller, and a cheater bar to clear the tie channels. If none of that poo poo works, it's too broken for you to fix.
