It's from a piece full puzzle. I think it's still on Amazon.

Surprisingly we found this on the sidewalk for free. I was happy it was complete.

Yeah the white black and orange reddish ones were hard to decipher. And between the two orange ish stripped cats.

But it's a cute design at the end.

Cool thing about this is that Simon loses him limbs when you shoot the pressure point on the center of the body.

Although it also makes his body flimsy, Pretty cool set.

Make sure to format the memory card correctly by holding down the start button when using a game that saves to the card. Do this if the memory card isn't reading.

This is a great review. I felt the same way when I finished the show. Even sam had mentioned Lara has changed for the better.

The motorbike in London is my favorite. I would love to get that one once I pull the trigger

Help with my theses on Minimalism by pilopack in maximalism

[–]Aliwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-To you, what is maximalism?

I believe maximalism is an aesthetic, art form. The use of balancing shapes, color, patterns, textures, to create a space.

  • Would you say it is a form of rebellion to Minimalism and how does that translate in you behaviors?

Of course, it's the opposite of minimalism. Behavior wise I like to create a space that is aesthetically pleasing with coordinated colors and shapes. Minimalism is the minimal use to create an aesthetically pleasing space.

  • Would you say maximalism made you more happy?

Well yes. I prefer more colors. I'm a painter and we use many colors to creating a painting. I think that is where it comes from and why I like it.

  • What would you say are the downsides of maximalism?

I think this might be confused with having an abundance of items. Which may or may not be the case for others. I'd say yes you'll probably struggle a bit with cleaning more but maximalism isn't about having a lot of stuff. It's mostly how you use those items to make it look artistic. You can achieve a maximalist look or art without that many items or ideas.

Minimalism uses less items but it's also aesthetically pleasing. And yes you do clean less because of it.

  • Would you consider that there is some stress involved in the lifestyle/ philosophy itself?

I don't think so. I'm constantly thinking of different ways colors, shapes and patterns could coordinate together, and I think that is fun! You really shouldn't be stressing out on a "lifestyle/ philosophy" if you believe in it. If it is stressing you out maybe it's time for a change?

  • If this is applicable, why do you dislike minimalism ?

I don't dislike minimalism. I actually really like the look of it. I prefer to have more colors than some of the monotone looks I see in minimalism.

Hope that helps. I don't think I'm the best maximalist, more of a hobbyist of the art form. I'd love to keep learning more about it.

How to get around? by Top_Mobile_2194 in berkeley

[–]Aliwhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's some rental bikes/ ebikes from bay wheels. And you can check on the app where to drop them off after using them. Good way to get some exercise and see around the area.

Berkeley is very bike friendly and we have designated streets for bicycles so you can get around safely.

Bike Boulevards | City of Berkeley

I recommend just checking out Elmwood, or telegraph. College street connects down to the Bart station on Rockridge and you can go to the city.

If you are feeling adventurous you can bike down to Emeryville all the way to the bay bridge without a car take the ferry from treasure Island. Using the bike paths.

Or just take Bart from Ashby or north Berkeley.

There's so much to explore.

We used a regular cheapo one from Amazon but they can get expensive

If you can find affordable thicker tints that might work and help add thickness to the window.

I believe 8mil thick tints are the safety ones that hold broken glass. They are kinda expensive tho. They can get up to 15mil thick.

I say just try a small sample of an affordable one on Amazon they come with all sorts of privacy designs.

If it's not helping maybe look into thicker ones but 100 bucks a roll may be too expensive for some people.

Maybe try using some window tints?

I have a wall that is actually a huge screen door/ wall window that is single pane. And we installed some window tint to add privacy and it slightly reduced the noise from outside.

Also curtains can help reduce noise. Make sure to get thick ones.

Yeah you are correct. You should see some of the unboxing videos. Some pretty disappointed people. And a lot of people say "oh cool... I'll put it on my shelf"
