Seems like a good reason to go to Target instead.

#174“People are stopping everyone who ‘looks like they are here for a game of hide and seek.” Deep down, everyone who walks into the great snaking corridors of IKEA is playing a game of hide and seek. But what does a person who goes there to play the game on purpose look like? What are the tells? Are they wearing IKEA bedlinen? I love the idea of a stop and search on that scale and basis. “Hide and seek, officer? I just…

Whole series is totally amazing!

#178It's nice to know that Glasgow has eliminated crime to the point that this was the most useful thing the police could possibly be doing.
it is "broken windows" policy in action - you don't stop hide and seek in IKEA today, you end up with people shooting up heroin and engaging in various adult activities there tomorrow. Anyway, how do you efficiently stop a good game? You spoil it (cue Dr.Evil laugh). In this case use NN to analyze video feeds to identify a hiding person and deploy a Roomba (i feel like our civilization is on the precipice of the epoc…

#179This is the same Ikea that has a "Jesus in the woodgrain" on a toilet door. (If you Google it you'll see stories popping up every couple of years as someone "discovers" it again.)
