Late Night Links – Sunday August 4th, 2013
I’ll spare you the obligatory “holy crap, it’s August already?” comment in my LNL preamble this week. Oh. Too late. I’ll also try to avoid going to into a lot of detail about how, for the first time, I’m writing this post on my newly-created hackintosh laptop and what I had to go through to make it work. Instead, let’s just dive in to all the usual stuff and things:
- Police’s 8ft Anti-Theft Banner Stolen a Day After it was Installed
- Be Prepared for Winter Drinking
- The Classic Fart Exhaust Mod
- The Bubblewrap Bike
- High Five
Charlie doesn’t know how to do this, and I don’t know how to teach him. But he can shake hands, so that’ll have to do for now. - How to Drink Wine
