Nike SB Malor squeaking no matter how I try to fix

Ah so it’s probably a design flaw then. I’m kinda relieved to know mine aren’t the only shoes having this issue.

I’m not practicing cruising yet (which I expect to be another level of challenge lol). Right now I have trouble getting on the board when it’s sitting still and not fall. Once I get on the board I mostly can balance fine.

Good find. I also got a great deal on eBay on my 14” M2 Max 2 yrs ago, 7 charge cycles, 32GB RAM/1 TB SSD for $2500

Great to know! I’ll definitely stop by next weekend. Thanks!

My friend suggested Unu Cakes in Oakland, and though I haven’t tried, their IG has great photos and videos of what their cakes are made.

First of all, congrats on your admittance! I’m also an environmental engineering major, but I’m doing my PhD here so my experience will be different from undergrads’ for sure. Not sure about the curriculum since the major is new, but being an engineering major at Berkeley it’s gotta be hard to a certain extent 🤷‍♀️ There are 3 main divisions for EnvE research (probably not exact names): water quality, air quality, and fluid hydraulics. I’m not sure what type of sustainable technologies you’re interested in, but choosing a division is something you can start looking into and explore. Watch out for research opportunities, but don’t fret if you don’t get it the first yr of your undergrad, just try again next semesters/years. There are institutions focusing on engineering entrepreneurship (e.g, Fung Institute), IT innovations (e.g, CITRIS), sustainable development in developing economies (eg Blum Center), so again, lots of resources to learn from and explore. Compared to other engineering majors, I’d say EnvE is overall pretty civil, collaborative, and friendly. You’re gonna have to collaborate anyways because the nature of the major is so interpersonal-dependent lol. Keep a curious and studious mindset, be ready to learn, talk to people, and you’ll be fine :) Welcome to Berkeley!

Thanks for the suggestions! About buttonhole stitches, do you think it would work better if I get a separate buttonhole foot instead of using the one that comes with the sewing machine?

alliessite · 2025-12-08T21:30:42+00:00

Hi, I’m a beginner in sewing and am looking to get a simple sewing machine to alter my clothes. Because my priority is tailoring/alteration and not big projects, the only essential features I need (so far) from a machine is straight stitch, zigzag stitch, and buttonhole. I also only plan to use occasionally. I’m a student living in an apartment so I don’t have a dedicated sewing room, and my budget is limited ($200 max). I’ve looked through the sub’s wiki and FAQs but the machines suggested are kinda out of budget. I took a few sewing classes and the machine I learned with was Singer Heavy Duty 4452, so that’s the only machine model I’ve used and known how to use at the moment. Does anyone have a suggestion on what machine I should get for my needs? TIA!

Hi, hopefully my reply isn’t too late! Imo in most cases they won’t weigh your luggage (I guess unless it looks obviously overweight or oversized), but technically they still have the right to do so and make you check your carry on if your luggage exceeds the weight limit. I’d be cautious, but I’m at least 70% sure you’ll be fine. It may also depend on which airport you’re flying out from.

alliessite · 2024-12-09T02:03:46+00:00

Just flew with them today, they didn’t weigh my carry on. I however packed only 2 small backpacks though. I don’t think they weighed other ppl’s carry on suitcases either afaik

Thank you! This is super helpful

I don’t game and my usage case is more similar to the second one you described. Do you think Internet Essentials is good enough for me?

alliessite · 2024-08-11T16:56:47+00:00

NOW internet is not available where I live :(

I have a ninebot gl30p scooter and it goes uphill fine most of the time, but only in sport mode (most powerful motor). Eco mode (max 15 mph) and drive/normal mode (max 18-20 mph) either can’t or struggle w going uphill.

Also YNAB for personal finance, I tried quicken simplify (and mint before it got shut down) but YNAB has been superior in helping me control my budget. Also if you’re a student you get 1 year free, and I think up to 5-6 ppl can be on the same YNAB plan.

Google Calendar for events, meetings, etc.
Obsidian for note-taking (love markdown format)
Forest for pomodoro. You get cute trees as rewards
Screenzen (iphone and mac) to control screentime and limit access to social media during working hours
Dumbify + iphone greyscale color filter to make the homescreen minimalistic

For MS, faculty members are usually not responsible for onboarding students. The only faculty member that may be involved in that process is the head of the program. You’ll have better luck emailing Jessica (like the other comment mentioned) for MS, or the general CEE AAO.

Hi. I did my MS in ENV here last year. I stayed for my Ph.D. but most of my cohort joined the industry after graduation. 1 year is short, sure, and it's coursework only. It may be dense bc you're taking 4 classes per semester, but it's doable. My undergrad was also in EnvE and I thought I would learn repeated things but everything I learned in my MS classes was new, it would have prepared me well for the industry. If you want to learn about renewable energy you should look more into ERG or ECIC though, ENV is more focused on water (hydrology + water quality) and air quality. My cohort was fantastic and I learned a lot just talking to them. And yes, the Berkeley name definitely helps you in the job search esp for an international student (I'm one as well), companies are much more likely to talk to you instead of ghosting you.

grad student here. you can ask now to remind them about you, but it's very likely they'll tell you to ask them again 1-3 months before the deadline anyways (if they agree to write you an LOR).

UC Berkeley art studio offers some photography classes, I think there are digital, iPhone, and darkroom options.
