I want to go as a Vampire this year, but those claws that you buy look terrible on me, because my nails are long and you can see them under the fake claws. The video was in German, which kinda "spooked" me at first, but the girl added English subtitles (thank god). Here is the video and the instructions she gives:

Once you've reached the right consistency, you bake them at a low temperature in the oven for a long time. They take both technique and time.

Every so often, a big site will make a change to its terms of service that's not so great for its users—without even informing them—and they (understandably) get really pissed off. Recent examples are Facebook's and Instagram's changes, which resulted in user backlash.
Our attention spans have vastly shortened thanks to the Internet and our subsequent procurement of information from it at a rapid pace.
