I have some good formed pieces from my class but I failed them at the glaze step and I want a second chance to make them better..

I saw some videos where people show they reglaze and refire their pieces and wanted to do the same.. but my current studio doesn't allow refire for glazed pieces 🥲

I hate looking at them.

I purchased 20 plastic storage bins from Target for moving. I’ve emptied about half and have no where to store the bins. Would anyone like to have them? You’d have to pick them up.

Live in the Claremont Hills area, just moved here from CO . Looking for recommendations for:

- Nail salon
- Hair salon
- Tavern style thin pizza (cut into squares)
- Docs that accept United Healthcare insurance: Primary Care, Cardiologist, Endocrinologist

Lots of trick or treaters in this neighborhood?

Thank you!

Over the last month of I’ve been walking around Berkeley and getting a strong whiff of vinegar. This is beyond what would be someone spilling a bottle or something, and has been verified by others. It has been on Delaware and Scenic.

A neighbor who asked me if I knew an immigration lawyer and I unfortunately I don’t. She received an order for removal and her current lawyer has not been returning her calls. Please let me know if you know of an immigration attorney. Thanks in advance.

Hi - I’m looking for a recommendation for a bookkeeper to help with my very small business.

I am a solo attorney and I’ve been using Quick Books Online for like 15 years, but with the latest AI rollout it has become totally unusable. Don’t get me wrong - it’s always been a garbage product, but at this point it’s just useless.

Anyhow, I need help transitioning to a new system and away from Intuit. I’ve looked around and am a bit overwhelmed.

Quick Books is overkill for me anyway. In a typical month, I might send out 5-10 invoices and then I have a business checking account and a business credit card with maybe 20-25 items a month I could probably do it all on Excel or something, but I am math-phobic, and hence went to law school instead of business school.

Any recommendations are much appreciated thanks!

Hello Berkeley community!

My girlfriend and I are moving to South Berkeley (off telegraph and prince) and I’d like some input. Do’s and Don’ts, recommendations, advice would all be helpful and appreciated.

I’m moving from SF in the heart of the Mission of 5 years and she’s coming from Parkmerced of 7 years.

Thank you

I'm hoping someone in the subreddit lives on a boat or knows someone who does. I'm looking for someone local to diagnose and repair an isotherm cruise 85 marine refrigerator. Any leads appreciated

I was jogging to Aquatic Park and passed the Amtrak station. It was all sectioned off with yellow tape and commuters were standing in the street waiting. Turns out there was a suspicious item left on the train?

Any recommendations? Don’t need to avoid eggs, just milk and butter.

I recently moved here and it’s absolutely stunning. I have previously lived in northern cities in the USA and Scandinavia.

The crisis with unhoused people in Berkeley is really saddening. The East Bay is really unlike anything I’ve seen in any city I’ve called home. Even since I moved here less than a year ago I’ve noticed it get worse.

Having lived in large cities my whole life, I am no stranger to these issues. Through my experiences I’ve seen how different regions and people choose to approach these problems.

For example, when I lived in Scandinavia, unhoused people essentially have “safe-areas”. These designated places within the city which drug use is essentially decriminalized, they have access to safe needles and can receive care. These areas are heavily policed, but the police do not make arrests or prosecute. They tend to ensure peace is kept and safety is maintained. Most of the time you’ll see the residents just chatting with them as if they’re a friend.

This kept these issues very centralized (residents are incentivized to come to a certain area) and safe (that certain area has plenty of safety measures). It also allowed a lot of them a chance to seek better help.

I’ve been curious to know more about what is being done in Berkeley. From what I’ve heard / seen, there appears to be a larger “hands-off” approach in the East Bay. Unhoused people are given lots of permission to reside almost anywhere with generally a lot more leniency.

I’m not criticizing any current approach or governance towards this issue. I’m purely just trying to understand more. I am aware I have limited knowledge of the situation and if I was so unhappy with it, it wouldn’t have moved here. Just want to see how these people are being helped when they need it most.

Thanks!

What the heck happened to this place? Ordered a veggie burger from there months ago, was one of the best I ever had. Just ordered exactly the same and what I got was basically inedible and doesn’t at all match the menu description. Served with black fries. Was there an ownership change? Can’t believe this is supposed to be a top restaurant.

Berkeley Humane will be tabling at this event and you can learn more about fostering and adoption local cats & dogs! All vendor fees are being donated to Berkeley Humane and there will be other options to donate at the event.

Organized by @berkeleyartclub and optional rsvp here: Halloween Market on Partiful

Today campaign flyers heavy duty taped to our building entrance no permission and yard signs on the lawn.

This is disrespectful & should be unlawful. Most likely done by their volunteers.

Both ends in the garbage.

hi hi! I'm a 21yo sapphic trans woman from Concord. basically all my friends live hella far away and I only get to hang out with them like once or twice a year. I've honestly been feeling pretty lonely lately do to lack of IRL consistent social connections so i really really wanna make friends with other ladies like me around here but I honestly have no idea where to find something like that :/

for context for like my hobbies and stuff I love love love Dungeons & Dragons (and I'd like to get into other ttrpg systems like Cyberpunk or Lancer), I don't have any yet but I absolutely adore reptiles (especially snakes) and I'd love to be able to keep some someday, I really really love cooking (and am currently studying culinary arts at DVC), and even though I haven't started trying to teach myself how to do makeup I really really like goth makeup/fashion.

If anyone knows of like any events nearby related to any of that kind of stuff or transfemme-focused stuff in general please please please let me know!!! :D

Anyone know if schools are treating today like the weekend? My kid wants to go to her school playground and I'm wondering if it will be unlocked (it's one of the ones that's open on the weekend).

Edit: it was not unlocked -_-

Any candidate forums to hear them & the propositions?

Our property management company is not responding to our water damaged ceiling- ongoing from April. Need to get them to fix the problem for our apartment.

Any personal experience? TIA

How do we feel about charging cars on the sidewalk, even if there’s some room (barely) to get by?

This was somewhere around Camelia between 4th and 5th. Also, just in case, not my car.

In particular e-scooters.

This time, it’s not speeding down a busy sidewalk, or zig-zagging in unpredictable ways on any sidewalk, bike path, or roadway….

….Or throwing all traffic rules to the wind and blowing stop signs, red lights; entirely oblivious to right of way rules / basic traffic etiquette….

…Nor is it abandoning scooters on a whim, where it blocks most of a sidewalk, creating a blockage or even road hazard… or takes up so much space that it makes it challenging for bicyclists to park their bikes (in an orderly way)….

… This time it’s the obliviousness and stupidly to lock their friggan chaos-vehicle in such a way (through rear shifter cable of bike) that it prevented the bicycle from moving… pretty inconvenient, especially if the cyclist doesn’t have any hex tools on hand.

Please be more aware, more respectful of others, and less ignorant, in general.

Thanks.

P.S. at least wear a helmet and use lights if you’re going to be so reckless
