Hmmm, gives me an interesting idea. Deconstructed wine. Just give them a bunch of grapes and someone's foot.

This is the Ikea generation, so "assembly required" is no big deal, right?

Ikea... Sweedish for out-of-stock.

I'll never get how their business model succeeds - 'let's charge people more to take it off our shelves, and assemble it themselves'
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

It succeeds because they've convinced enough people that their stuff is high-quality and chic and trendy and awesome and actually worth the price even if they have to assemble it themselves.  And people willing to do that actually kinda like it because then they know it's well made, because they assembled it themselves.

I just assumed it was cheap to offset the cost of poor materials and build it yourself.  I can't recall the last time I bought ikea stuff though.

Yeah, it's kinda fun putting those things together, even if you don't get it right the first time

We buy Ikea stuff for our kids, because we know it isn't going to last until they hit puberty, and we don't want to put expensive, high-quality stuff in their rooms. We know the prices are lower than anything else we will find, I can put everything together quickly, and it will all fit in either one of our medium-sized cars. That is their business model, and that is why it works.

:lol My favourite is "'Promiscuous' Millennials Are Killing McDonald's". I'm sure there's probably some context to their use of the word promiscuous here, but I'd rather just imagine it's exactly what you think.

Bunch of newspaper headlines targeted right to the oldies who will eat this shit right up.
There was. We were discussing it in relation to FOX's newfound interest in running stories about harlots and hussies. In this case it was a woman who fled on foot after being yelled at for blowing somebody in a McD's. She got busted but skipped on her bail, making her a wanted woman (for more reasons than one).


edit: Nope. Turns out they just hate the brand:

Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

I sent out an email to my entire work floor at a Fortune 90 company, for anyone interested in using my solar eclipse glasses to see the eclipse out my window, to feel free to do so.  75 people came and used my glasses.  Then I sent out an email at 4:55 that I would be home sick tomorrow with Pink Eye.

Yeah, with something that size, it might take a few tries to get it right.  The important thing is that she's obviously willing to take the hit.
