Very nicely worded.
We sometimes forget the meaning of "weed" It's simply a wild plant
growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants. Nothing
to do with it's potential beauty or even usefulness. They can become "wanted"
or appreciated after establishing themselves without our leave in other words

It's a nice color

| | I'm wanting to build a beer garden modeled after Viktualienmarkt's in
Munich. It will probably be on a 48x48 plate so I'll have room for at least
4-5 large "bushy" trees, but I'm struggling to find inspiration online.
Most of the the trunks I'm seeing are built from square bricks/slopes and
they just don't look right.
The Rivendell set looks like it has some really interesting ones but they need
about 8x the amount of leaves and 2x broader foliage. I know we can't post
links but are there any obvious ones in the lego realm I'm not seeing?
|
Slightly bigger than your request, but might be good for inspiration.
Feel free to contact if you'd like more detailed images of these trees.

Wow! Stunning recreation of the various tree species! No idea who the artist
is (art it is, imho) but they are beautiful! Such a level of impression of life
and the living with mere LEGO, always moves me. Brings to mind, Miro's
talent with living subjects.
While being perhaps overly impressed is no doubt because it's so far beyond
my own abilities, the capacity to move others with your work, goes straight to
the innate portion of talent. The nature of the individual, as I see it.

Popsicle is correct, it's D. I think the claim that I own Air Force One was
a dead giveaway. Obviously, there is no legit way someone can own Air Force One,
unless it's a model of the aircraft.

B: He ran an investment (Ponzi scheme) and derived his fortune by ripping off
investors.
C: He ripped off taxpayers by fraudulently getting a PPP loan from the government
and spending the money on himself instead of paying his employees.
D: He is an eclectic collector of diecast cars and desktop aircraft.
E: He's an imaginative dreamer.

A good thought, Jason.
But why I'm even bothering to solve the mystery, is it's very real impact
on how we've used our stockroom feature for years, by dumping undesired listings
into it after an order is received.
It's a disruption for sure, but not an overly worrisome one. I've been
able to stay on top of it when it does occur, by manually cleaning-up the stockroom
item-by-item, so far
|
Mhm, it can be troublesome, tho have you tried the auto delete 0 qty stockroom
items option after x amount of days? That might help fix it (unless like me you
keep certain select items in the stockroom when they are sold out for the purposes
of easier relisting)
|
Another good thought, and I briefly pondered that some time ago. But that too
would disrupt or limit our use of the stockroom feature, at least how we utilize
the feature.
|
Making lateral moves as you're suggesting, I've always supported in life.
But in this instance, I'd rather try and solve the problem. Like I said,
never had it occur to us over the years operating here. Just kinda like to know
what's up
|
Mhm it does seem to be “at random” that it occurs. Occasionally I have some parts
in the stock room but other times nothing (in regards to normal non-retained
items) tho for myself it may be in regards to my syncing service as that can
sometimes effect that
|
Seems a possibility, even plausible for those that are syncing services. We never
have, not inventory syncing services
|
Are the individual items all flagged as Retained?
Or just a few?
(with BrickStore you can see (and adjust) it as well)
And what are the setting on https://www.bricklink.com/invOptionsAdd.asp ?
Maybe the default setting there is set (and to yes).
|
First, thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts on this. Gonna give
them a proper read and consideration today. As to the settings on the page linked.

I suppose. But I can tell you've not "fought enemies" not in the
true sense. There is something to that which only those that have will be able
to understand. Human nature which is immutable, has dark sides. Accept it to
understand better.
|
So be bad so you know what bad is?

Don't be reductionistic now. No need to "be bad" to be able to accept
and by extension "understand better" the darker sides of our nature.

| | I've had IRL stalkers several, dare I say many times and they usually
are people who doxed me online. No reason to not have an extra layer of "go
away" in use.
On ebay its common to share stoplists on discord and reddit to avoid problems
and scammers. Sellers often share stoplists and that advice has always worked
for me there, so I just carried on with it here. Heck, if I'm browsing feedback
and see a problem person, on the list they go.
There's too many sellers and buyers to really worry about it.
