It’s May! That means it’s time to Miss a Meal for Kaibosh<\/a>, the excellent charity that smartly sews up the systemic gaps to take leftover retail food to the hungry people who need it.

“You can get all the equipment you need to properly sharpen a pencil for less than a thousand dollars” – pencil sharpening done right, a ten-minute movie<\/a> (via Svend and various other sources)<\/p>\n

Perfect: [ALTHOUGH the GRRM account is a fake, curses, thanks Johnnie for setting me straight]<\/p>\n
