That’s really not the case. Ikea sells furniture for every wallet, from cheap cardboard crap to things that outlive you. I’ve had my Ikea desk for 15 years and it only has a few scuffs in the middle because I didn’t bother buying a cover.

Man, I wish that was still how the world worked! 

That is waaaaay more Rowan Atkinson than Jack Black

Hmmm, wellll this will probably never be ungreyed but here we go!

So wait, was the other woman the husband’s mistress or the wife’s? Either way, still trash for killing them.  Why can’t weak men just kill themselves without taking others that want to live with them?

It means some men can’t handle the thought or reality that they are not in charge of everything.

Toxic masculinity strikes again. What an asshole, and what a sad outcome. 

With all that sugar around, the bees could use the exercise.

While I generally have no problem with veganism - we all have the right to decide how we want to eat - I do get annoyed by the anti-honey stance of some vegans. First of all, we need bees to keep pollenating all kinds of crops we need for survival, and commercial hives are a great way to keep large, happy, safe bee…

If he really knew the good shit, she wouldn’t need to work, so there’s that.

I’ve been getting diarrhea since before these people were born and I never got any clout from it. :(

Yeah we’re done here

Congratulations. You win the internet. Take the rest of the day off.

Shut down the thread.

The bookshelf speaker can also be an actual shelf which I think would be pretty cool for some people who want a multifunctional little nightstand. Ikea also includes a no-slip mat so that you can put your phone and stuff on it without much worry.

I think it makes sense. Plenty of people buy speakers at this price point because they can’t afford it at the moment or they don’t need the audio fidelity for some purpose. At least now you can buy into a system and maybe upgrade later.

They are also multifuntional, a lamp and a shelf. Also, the lamp is ugly, but the shelf is not. The shelf can easily blend in with decor, however, my sonos speakers stick out like sore thumbs no matter what. I’ve considered building boxes disguised as books to cover the ugly things. 

I think it depends on the user. This is probably Sonos’ way to hook someone to their ecosystem who otherwise wouldn’t/couldn’t dish out the extra 100 for a Sonos One (too lazy to look up but are they still going for 199 these days?). They probably want to create more buy-in and maybe be like “hey do you like our…

It’s 33% cheaper. That’s meaningful. Especially if you’re adding it as another speaker to an existing set of Sonos. 

I actually like it.
