Concrete Wine Bunkers Let You Get Drunk Even After the World Ends

Concrete Wine Bunkers Let You Get Drunk Even After the World EndsWe're just hours from the Apocalypse at this point. It's way too late to take any preventative action, but that doesn't mean we can't be ready for the aftermath. And what are you going to want when you're battered and bruised, wandering around the torrid wasteland that once was Earth? Alcohol. As much as you can get.

Fortunately, Etsy shop Decratelier is offering a set of modular Concrete Wine Bunkers—undoubtedly your best bet in protecting hooch from asteroid, flood, and Horseman alike.

Each block is sold separately, so you can stack and expand to make the fallout wine cellar of your dreams. Added bonus: the industrial design doesn't just look cool; it keeps your wine cool, too, thanks to concrete's wonderful thermal properties. Concrete will even protect against (some) forms of radiation, nuclear holocaust be damned!

Unfortunately, unless you had the foresight to order ahead of time, you're too late; each $25 block is made to order and requires two weeks for construction. But, hey, at least now you'll be ready for the next Armageddon. [Decratelier via Cool Material]

Drunk Twitter and Facebook users to avoid trial over offensive posts

Drunk Twitter and Facebook users to avoid trial over offensive postsNew guidelines will see less prosecutions

New CPS guidelines will seek to cut the number of people who face prosecution over offensive social networking posts.

The new mandate, set out by the UK's Director of Public Prosecutions Kier Starmer said only those whose Twitter and Facebook posts that go beyond offensive will be brought to trial.

The CPS still wants people who make threats of violence, send out and retweet malicious messages, or breach court orders to face prosecution.

However, under the new interim guidelines, drunk social networkers who post offensive comments, but apologise and delete the comments after sobering up are likely to avoid action.

The new guidelines, Mr Starmer said, aim to strike the right balance between free speech and ensuring posts stay within the law.

He said: "These interim guidelines are intended to strike the right balance between freedom of expression and the need to uphold the criminal law.

"The interim guidelines thus protect the individual from threats or targeted harassment while protecting the expression of unpopular or unfashionable opinion about serious or trivial matters, or banter or humour, even if distasteful to some and painful to those subjected to it."

The new guidelines follow a number of recent high profile cases, including the arrest of a Twitter troll who mocked Olympic diver Tom Daley over the death of his father.

There was also the row over the picture of a burning poppy posted on Facebook.
