"Oh, I just test how well the appliances work. You know... how many dishes can a dishwasher clean, how much laundry can a washing machine handle, that sort of thing. You'd be surprised how much testing goes into all that! Why, it reminds me of this one time, when I was vacationing in Borneo..."

Doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to work around.

Well that is the worst thing.

If you go to the source article, that author links a video which shows a skimmer operation from the pinhole camera's point of view.

Clever girl...

I don't think anyone thinks they're being artsy for buying Ikea.

I cannot possibly imagine that it is less expensive to ship/haul/move a bookshelf across an ocean than it would be to just buy a new one when you get there.
