Isn’t red flower currant is a type of shrub with berries?
“Which was the style at the time…”
Love this style! Try searching for “blanket shawl” to find pieces with this drape.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does antique furniture usually have carved "feet"?
17·9 months agoWebbed toes help them swim more efficiently. As more and more furniture moved indoors, the shape of the legs and feet evolved to the drier climate. You can still find modern pieces where the look has been replicated, but the webbing tends to be decorative in nature, not functional.

memes@lemmy.world•I don't always buy new things, but when I do
3·10 months agoCheck out Wirecutter. It’s been my go-to site for most purchases outside my wheelhouse for years. I like how they break down their findings, like pros/cons, budget picks, and picks depending on what kind of user you are (take record players, for example: are you interested in the format, but don’t want much fuss? They’ll have suggestions for an all-in-one setup. Or are you an audiophile looking to upgrade specific parts? They’ll cover that as well). They also include advice from experts in the field of whatever they’re reviewing, which I find useful.

Cooking @lemmy.world•This is my absolute favorite source of spices and I need everyone to know about Penzeys.
7·1 year agoLove Penney’s! No physical store nearby, so I put in an order a couple times a year to restock the essentials. Their 4/S seasoned salt is the bomb and makes breakfast potatoes next level. They also always send free little goodie bags of various spice blends in our order that, if I was a more adventurous cook, I’m sure would be awesome.

9·1 year agoI think MST3K had the right idea:
“If you’re wondering how he eats and breathes
And other science facts
Just repeat to yourself “It’s just a show
I should really just relax”
Between $75-$120 a month, for two of us.
We pay an average of $22 for a 12 oz bag of the good stuff from local roasters (Temple or Chocolate Fish) and go through just over a bag a week. Work days we have 2 cups each, weekends we go all out and have 3. We buy whole beans, grind them at home, and exclusively use the Chemex. Sometimes when we pick up a bag at the shop we treat ourselves to a latte (stupidly expensive) and that bumps up the average.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anyone still giving a name to your car, and what is it?

Walmart and Sam’s Club.
You know you’re probably dealing with the baddies when the Criticism and Controversy section of your main article on Wikipedia grows to the point where it links to another Criticism of Walmart main article.

News@lemmy.world•'Pray for this burdened man': Republican mocked after telling House he does his own dishes
28·2 years agoReminds me of Trump and his… frustration with low-flow toilets.
“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”
What a weird generalization to make. Maybe you’re referring to grocery stores, that have a small selection of beauty/health products.
My local Target here in the US (CA) was recently renovated to expand the body care section of the store, and now has two large distinct sections that obviously cater to specific genders:
The men’s section (deodorant, hair care, face wash, shaving supplies, etc.) is set apart by “wood” flooring, dark wooden display tables, and a kind of minimalist atmosphere. Several aisles away, the women’s section (hair care, makeup, face wash, nail care, etc.) is bright and colorful and chock-full of product signage.
