One of the original POTW's from way back in week 2. Loved the photo then, and love it now! Way to get those fingerprints off the glass to get a clear shot.

The stories that tree could tell.

 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/6459514

The Bonsai in the picture is a 3.5 mt (10 feet) Ficus retusa linn that's over 1000 years old. It is also known as the Crespi Ficus, because it is exhibited at the entrance of the Crespi Bonsai Museum in Milan, Italy. The owner of this museum, Luigi Crespi, fought for decades for this unique Bonsai tree, and finally got ownership in 1986.

This tree was carefully crafted by the Chinese masters, and once it got to Italy it was properly taken care of by a man called Shotaro Kawahara, a Bonsai master from Japan who carefully pruned the tree to maintain its shape.

Though there were negotiations between China and Italy about the ownership of this Ficus Bonsai tree, Italy managed to keep its prized Bonsai beauty!

I was never certain, but if the items price tag has an asterisk in the upper right corner it means they are not bringing that product back. Pair the asterisk with a very large amount of product that wasn't getting much interest, and I figured one day it would happen. I also saw other costco member's posting the same product and the price slowly was reduced around the country.

Very much quality > quantity. We do also like to host friends and family events.

It is nine 750ml bottles total volume, and with having around 40 other bottles in our bar before the MM additions we will probably have a bottle of this cask MM still next summer.

The front 3 are the open ones and they are each a different year release and taste very different. We were doing a little blind tasting.

It's happy to have the bourbon, could use a break from peaty scotch.

But in all seriousness, this will last my spouse and I for a long time. We keep a full bar stocked, as long as your drink of choice is brown. Ive got bottles on our bar Ive had longer than I've known my spouse.

My bank account isnt.

 

I was very surprised after waiting all year to see them drastically cut the price a day after our summer tourist season ended. From $69 to $39 for a 2019, 2020, and 2021 cask strength releases 375ml. It has had the asterisk on the full price tag for awhile now and I was hoping this day would come. About a full pallet left when I got mine.

I am hoping to have some new tomatoes to play with in my indoor garden and wanting to make some unique ketchup and sauce. My varieties are: Black Beauty, Ananas Noir, Sart Roloise, and Great White.

Ive been looking at different ketchip recipies. It would be fantastic if the Great White kept its white color during blanching and processing for ketchup.

Option C: SORT OF - Political Pictures that are relevant to current events will be allowed one posting per event. Duplicates will be removed and all other rules (spam, trolling, AI/DA, being civil) will apply. This option can be tweaked to more narrowly define "current event".

[–] Alchemy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Option B: NO - Political Pictures will NOT be prohibited. Pictures that otherwise do not violate any current rules (ie spam, duplicates, trolling, AI/DA, etc) will be allowed to remain posted and open for discussion until other factors influence locking the thread.

Option A: YES - Prohibit Political pictures all the time. Political pictures, regardless of country of origin, will be removed immediately upon reporting or a mod locating. Posters will only receive a warning and recommendation to check the sidebar for a first offense. Additional postings by the same contributor will result in a short-term temp ban of 7 days for second offense, length doubles each additional violation.

 

POLITICAL PICTURES ARE A PICTURE OF A POLITICIAN FROM ANY COUNTRY OR PLANET

Since we are not able to implement typical polls yet, this method was suggested. Please up vote your selection, there is no way to block multiple votes but doesn't make much sense to vote to prohibit, then also vote to approve in some fashion. Down votes will not impact the result, but feel free to if it makes you happy.

You’re watching Futurama. The show that does not advocate the cool crime of robbery.
