This is awesome
It was hard to capture a good picture of this one. It's very glossy. This was the first holographic puzzle I've done. The plastic the the hologram is printed on made it difficult to snap the pieces together.
I was the best man in my friend's wedding, and he gave me this puzzle as a gift. The puzzle is a "surprise". There's no reference image which was a little intimidating when I saw all the grass. The pieces are random cut and the corner pieces are formed by joining two edge pieces. It was only 500 pieces though, so not much of a challenge The puzzle quality is very high. The pieces are made of wood and about 3mm thick. The image on the puzzle is of my old dog. She past away about five years ago. She was there for me through some very difficult times and meant the world to me.
I can't post the picture of this one because it's different from the box image, and it would be a spoiler for anyone wanting to do it. This was my first escape room puzzle. There are a bunch of hidden clues that create six puzzles. The solutions to the six puzzles reveals a final puzzle. It was way harder than any escape room I've done. I solved three of the six puzzles then decided I wanted to do something else. It was fun.

Really cool picture! That's definitely Montpelier.

I thought they would be too, but honestly it wasn't that bad. The shades were all different enough to be clear where they belonged. The sky was the only part that was a little tedious, but even that was a slight gradient. All around fun puzzle.

This quote sounds like a promo for a porno.
The picture is pretty outdated (RIP Magic Hat and Vermont Peanut Butter), but it was a very easy and addicting puzzle. Great quality pieces.

Dude looks scrawny AF. You could take him
Did this one with my daughter. She's definitely starting to get it.
The image would have made this puzzle very challenging if it weren't for the pattern of the pieces. All the pieces alternated between one of two shapes - knobs on the top and bottom with holes on the sides; and holes on the top and bottom with knobs on the side. It's kinda hard to see when it's assembled, but most of the pieces looked the same when they didn't have surrounding pieces to build the image. Aside from that, the pieces were small and flimsy.

That aligns. The publishing date of the puzzle says 1970.

This puzzle looks really fun. I've never heard of BigPotato. What was the quality like?

I'm a software engineer working remotely, and this has been my final blocker with moving to Wayland. Most team chat and collaboration apps finally support full screen sharing on Wayland, but the existing implementation is buggy and unreliable.
This puzzle was fairly old. I'm surprised the pieces are all there.
My wife and daughter found this weird puzzle at the grocery store. My daughter definitely takes after me.
High quality puzzle. Sadly it was missing six pieces.
Oh man. All of my horse puzzles are done. I think I've had enough of horses for a little while.

I've wondered the same thing. It's impressive.

I had an affinity for puzzles at a pretty young age, so my mother grabbed me this one from a yard sale. This was my first "big kids" puzzle. I put it together countless times. You can see it's seen a lot of use and abuse - there's a piece missing, one piece is ripped in half, a couple of them were chewed on by my toddler brother. This was the first time I put it together in well over twenty years - the first time since my mom passed away and we sold my childhood home; the first time since buying my own home; the first time since I got married; the first time since I started a family. It brought back a lot of memories.
Three or of four horse puzzles down... Just one left.
Second horse puzzle in this box of four horse puzzles.
I inherited this puzzle from my friend who loves horses. This came in a collection of four puzzles called Horse Collection. The quality of the pieces was pretty poor. They peeled apart very easily, so I had to be pretty careful.
My daughter picks which puzzles I do next. I guess she was feeling the Christmas season. The quality of this puzzle was very high. The pieces felt great, and the white was painted over to glow in the dark! Even with the random cut pieces, this puzzle was very easy.
I need better lighting in my office.
I inherited a bunch of horse themed puzzles from a friend of mine who loves horses. This is the second and was the second one I did. Interestingly it doesn't have a name. I'll be mixing things up for the next one by doing the cow puzzle she gave me.

I had this issue about a year ago on my work Ubuntu computer. I think I solved it with Solaar. Sorry that's not a more confident answer. I hope it's a good lead for you.
This was the hardest jigsaw puzzle I've done. The pieces are random cut and the image resolution was pretty low. On top of that, many non-edge pieces had flat sides making them appear too be edges.

Anecdote about living on a well. We live in a new house in the New England. The cost of our water is the cost of the electricity to run the water pump. It's not very expensive. The best part /s about having a well is when there's a bad storm that knocks out power, we lose water. When neighbors in the area know a storm is coming, we have to take steps like filling our bathtubs with water to use for flushing our toilets and stocking up on gallons of water from the grocery store.

I don't know. White Christmas? Batman & Robin?
Edit: White Christmas is a masterpiece.

Cool. I went to Castleton. Do we have other Vermonters here?
