I think a lot of people would be willing if it meant they could get to their destination on time without missing any flights.

Build Your Own Porch Pirate Package Protector


Watch on YouTube

Now you too can defeat porch pirates with magic. Not Harry Potter magic, mind you, more like David Copperfield. Practical stage magic.

Life Pro Tip

found on Imgur

Apparently this comes originally Reddit but the poster on Imgur didn't include links. I didn't know there was a LifeProTips subreddit. If I had more free time I might check it out (watch there be a pro tip about increasing your free time)

Good morning, campers

How to post your credit card on the Internet

from here

The precautions I took are as follows:

  1. Carefully line up the card so that only the side edge can be seen and take a picture
  2. Turn it around and repeat step 1 for the other side
  3. Then put the card that wasn't even a credit card in the first place back where it belongs
In other words, just don't do it.

I Saw What You Did Last Night

found on hacknmod

I'm not sure but I think perhaps these surveillance jack-o-lanterns are scarier after the Snowden leaks. On the plus side, now you'll be able to figure out who's taking the "trick" part of "trick or treat" seriously.

And yes, there is still time for you to build one (or more) of these yourself. It's not halloween yet.
