2024.05.16 00:30 AutoModerator General Questions Thread, May 15, 2024

A thread for new collectors to ask basic questions of the community.
Frequently Asked Questions below!
A longer version of the subreddit rules is here.
For questions specifically concerning bootlegs or vendor legitimacy, please ask in the Bootleg Megathread.
NSFW & Spoiler Guidelines
  • For Self Posts: include a bolded NSFW note next to links in that post.
  • For Links to sites/images: If the figure is NSFW, or the website has any NSFW content (including ads) be sure to tag your post NSFW and use the appropriate link flair.
Bootlegs
Any collection posts containing bootlegs, comments advocating buying bootlegs, or links to sites selling bootlegs, recasts, or unlicensed merchandise will be removed.
People often ask about the legitimacy and/or safety of a number of websites which sell large resin statues. The more commonly-asked of those deal primarily in resins from studios which do not have a license from the Japanese IP holders to produce merchandise. Therefore links to those sites are not permitted here. Another sign is if MyFigureCollection doesn't list the either the statue, its manufacturer, or the shop it's being sold on.
MyFigureCollection
My Figure Collection is like MyAnimeList... but for figures! Their database includes thousands of items which been produced during the last couple of decades, along with reviews of shops and other helpful articles. One can also list their own collection and post gallery photos.

Buying & Shipping

1. What’s the best place to buy my anime figures from?
That’s going to depend a lot on what works for you, but most people around here buy them from Amiami, Big in Japan, Hobby Search, HobbyLink Japan, or Tokyo Otaku Mode. If none of those work for you for whatever reason, there’s a list of reputable retailers in the sidebar that you can check out at any time. Be extra careful when ordering figures from websites like Amazon or ebay, as there are a lot of bootlegs on those sites. Don’t be afraid to ask in our Bootleg Megathread if you’re unsure.
2. What differences are there between the shipping options I get from most Japanese shops?
Below is a rundown of the main shipping choices you’ll get at most retailers. Keep in mind that if an order is large enough you will be forced to use one of the more expensive options, as SAL shipments have lower size and weight restrictions.
  • Unregistered SAL: Sometimes referred to as uSAL, is usually the cheapest method. It does not come with any tracking or insurance. Usually takes up 2-4 weeks for delivery.
  • Registered SAL: Sometimes referred to as rSAL, is insured for the declared value up to 6,000 yen. It comes with a tracking number and usually takes 2-4 weeks for delivery.
  • EMS: This method of shipping is much faster than either SAL options, usually arriving within a week of shipment. EMS shipments are insured for the declared value up to 2,000,000 yen.
  • Airmail
  • E-packet
  • Surface: Shops don't offer this very often. It's an actual cargo ship and slow as a result.
  • DHL: Becoming more available as an alternative to EMS on AmiAmi and other sites. Can be less expensive than EMS and of comparable speed, but may be more reliant on the specific geographical area being shipped to. The price is also determined by the size of the box. Offers their own tracking.
3. I placed two+ orders for figures at different times. Will my items be shipped together, or will I have to pay shipping twice?
Most shops will ask you to pay shipping on a per-order basis, but here are some that will allow combined shipping:
  • Amiami: You can combine orders here, as long as the orders ship in the same month. It doesn’t matter if the item is new or preowned. Any preorders that are set for that month can also be combined with other orders for that month. However, be aware that if the preorder gets delayed, Amiami will remove that item from that month’s shipment and place it on a new order. To combine orders on Amiami, use the “Combine Orders” feature under “My Account”.
  • Hobby Search: Hobby Search will let you combine orders that release in the same month, but you cannot combine in stock items with preorders. If you want to combine multiple preorders, or multiple in stock items, you can do so using the “Order Recombination” feature on your account page.
  • HobbyLink Japan: At HLJ, you have the option to send paid orders to their “Private Warehouse”, where you can store them for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to ship the items, you simply select which items to ship and HLJ will combine them into one shipment for you. To use this, just select the “Private Warehouse” option as shipping when you order.
If you’re unsure about whether or not a shop we haven’t listed will combine your orders, please refer to their individual FAQs.
4. When will I get charged for my preorder?
Most Japanese shops charge you once the item is in stock and ready for shipment. When that happens, they will send you an email asking for payment. Some shops (mostly overseas ones), will allow you to pay for the item up front though, if you’d like. A few with that option are:
  • Big in Japan (Japanese store)
  • Tokyo Otaku Mode
  • Anime Island
  • Crunchyroll
Keep in mind that overseas stores will likely get the figure a few months after Japanese ones, so pay attention to the release date stated on the website you are buying from so as to avoid that confusion.
5. Should I expect to pay customs fees when importing figures?
That depends on where you live. Here’s a quick rundown:
  • Australia: 10% GST is now assessed up front.
  • Canada: Minimum declared value for charges is around CAD$20 for regular shipments, and CAD$60 for gifts (gifting something only seems to lower the declared value by about CAD$40, not deplete it completely). When using Amiami, try their Small Air Packet option. It comes with tracking, gets there in about the same time as EMS, and is better at avoiding customs.
  • European Union: As of 1st July 2021, VAT has to be paid on all goods imported from outside of the EU. Retailers are supposed charge VAT for purchases under €150, however many Japanese retailers currently do not, so VAT will be charged when your order arrives in the EU. Orders that are >€150, VAT and duty will be charged by your local customs.
  • UK: As of 1st January 2021, VAT is to be charged by retailers for orders <£135. However, customs isn't currently charging VAT on parcels valued at <£135, even if the VAT hasn't been paid. Goods >£135 will have their VAT and duty calculated and charged by customs.
  • Mexico: Minimum declared value for customs fees is USD$300 for shipments by post, and USD$50 for shipments by courier.
  • United States: A shipment has to have a declared value of USD$2,000 before customs starts hitting you with fees, so you most likely won’t have to worry about them at all.
6. The figure I want is an exclusive, how do I go about ordering one outside of Japan?
You have three options for this:
A. Big in Japan is known to stock exclusive figures and ship to other countries. Usually the price is higher because they build in their proxy fees, but it’s easier than worrying about using a forwarder or proxy service. If you live in the US, Crunchyroll, Right Stuf, and Tokyo Otaku Mode also get exclusives sometimes, but out of the states the shipping can get expensive.
B. Forwarding Services: A forwarder is someone who you ship an exclusive item to so that they can forward the package on to you, usually for a flat fee + shipping. When using a forwarder you still make the purchase yourself, and enter their address into the shipping field. When the box arrives at the forwarder they will then stick your address onto the package and send it on its way.
Some popular forwarders are:
Be sure to read each sites instructions on forwarding carefully!
C. Proxy Services: With a proxy, you tell them what the item you’re looking for is and they will purchase it in your stead. This is handy for when a company doesn’t accept foreign credit cards, or you’re having trouble navigating a Japanese website.
Some popular proxies are:
Again, be sure you thoroughly read through each sites proxy instructions.
7. I see a bunch of really cheap figures that ship from China on ebay. Are those okay to buy?
Generally, no. They’re most likely bootlegs. If you want a second opinion on that, feel free to ask in the Bootleg Megathread that’s always stickied at the top of the sub.
8. What’s a bootleg, and how can I avoid buying them?
A bootleg is a counterfeit figure often made using rejected molds of the official product. They are usually priced significantly lower than the genuine article, and in order to make their profit, bootleggers use lower quality materials and have less attention to detail- resulting in a substandard figure.
The Bootleg Megathread that I mentioned in question 7 is a great tool to avoid buying any bootlegs. It has a few tips and tricks to avoiding them to begin with, and a few more on how to spot them if you’re worried you might already own one.
9. Does anyone know when figure X is going to be released? How do I know if it was delayed?
My Figure Collection (sometimes referred to as MFC) does an excellent job of staying on top of information like release dates and delays. If you’re curious about an upcoming figures release date, check there first. This information can be found directly under the “Releases” section on a figure’s entry. If you only see a month and a year in that section, it means the release date has not yet been announced by the manufacturer, and there is still a chance the figure could be delayed.
If you make an account on MFC you can also subscribe to comments, changes, and pictures via a checkbox on the right hand side of a figure’s listing. Subscribing to any of these things will allow MFC to send you an email anytime the subscription in question updates. Subscribing to “changes” is a great way to keep up with release dates and delays, among other things.
10. The figure I want is long sold out at normal retailers! What’s the best place to pick it up in the aftermarket?
A list of reputable retailers can be found under the “Shops” section of the /AnimeFigures sidebar. They all sell legitimate products, and many of them also sell figures second hand. However, the most frequently suggested second hand sites are Mandarake and Amiami- who has a preowned section that they update every night save Sundays and Japanese holidays around 1PM JST and again around 6PM JST.
AmiAmi grades their pre-owned items on a letter scale. The general consensus from buyers is that their ratings are conservative, so unless the item and/or packaging is specifically indicated as having significant flaws, pre-owned items from them are usually in at least as good a condition as their rating suggests.
Note: When you search Mandarake, you’ll get the best results by using the Japanese characters for whatever you are searching. If you don’t know them, you can find them on MFC by clicking on any of the “details” in that figure’s listing.
11. Amiami has a figure I’m interested in labeled as “For sale in Japan only”. Does this mean I can’t order it without a proxy or forwarder?
No, you can still order it. Amiami’s English site has that warning on many items, and it’s mostly meant to inform you that this product was made for a Japanese market, and as such, will have Japanese speaking/writing in it- so don’t expect any instructions to be in English. If Amiami doesn’t want foreigners buying a certain product, they won’t even list it on their English site.

Displaying Your Figures

12. What display cases do you recommend?
If you live near an Ikea try out one of these:
  • Klingsbo
  • Billy (Often used with Morliden doors (now the HÖGBO and glass shelves.)
  • Detolf: Formerly the go-to choice for inexpensive display cabinetry, the Detolf was first made flimsier around 2020 and then essentially phased out of the name, to become the BLÅLIDEN. Knockoff versions of widely-varying quality are commonly found on other shopping sites these days, though.
*If you decided on a Detolf, you might find that there is a lot of wasted space. Here are a few tutorials on raising the shelves or and adding extra ones in.
If you don’t live near an Ikea, Amazon has a few display options, though they are more expensive. Also keep an eye on your local Craigslist (or your country’s equivalent) and stores near you that are closing up.
13. What lighting do you guys recommend?
Ikea’s Dioder LED strips were discontinued after a long run. A current version is the Vattensten, if you're inclined to buy your case and lights at the same time.
LED strips have become very commonly available in recent years; most hardware and home furnishing stores carry a selection now. Just make sure that the lights don’t get too hot!
14. What are those clear plastic boxes that I see under everyone’s figures in their collection posts, and where can I get them?
Those are called risers. Most of us use standard acrylic risers like these. Some other, easy to find things that have been suggested are:
Check your local hobby store for the first 2 options, or your local hardware store if you want to make your own.
Another common suggestion is to visit The Container Store if you have one near you. They have a lot of things to choose from that can suit a variety of needs. Be sure to check out their standard acrylic risers, their Amac boxes, and the various display cases they sell (baseball cases, mini car cases. hockey puck cases, etc).
15. Should I keep my figures sealed?
That is, of course, up to you really, but here are a few things to keep in mind when debating this question:
  • Keeping it sealed can actually damage your figure. PVC figures usually have something called plasticizer in them, and that plasticizer needs to be able to breath. If a PVC figure isn’t exposed to oxygen, after a period of time the plasticizer starts to break down and form a sticky substance on the surface of the figure. Simply opening your figures and taking them out of the box prevents this from happening. If you happen to find plasticizer goo on one of your figures, Kahotan has a handy guide for dealing with it.
  • Unlike some other figure markets, keeping an anime figure sealed won’t raise its value by a whole lot. In fact, because of the plasticizer problem mentioned above, your figure could actually be in better condition if you open it versus keeping it sealed.

Finding the Right Figure(s) for You

16. What are "scales" and "prizes"? What is the difference between them?
Those are classifications for figures based on a few factors.
  • "Prizes" are generally more simply produced figures which are intended to be given as prizes for playing arcade games. They are inexpensive and lack the detail of scale figures, though some prize figure lines have standouts which may approach lower-end scales in quality. That is uncommon and often depends on the individual figure.
  • "Scales" are called such because they are nominally designed to be proportional to the dimensions of the character which they are based on. They are generally of much better manufacture and materials than prize figures, allowing for more detail in painting, accessories, or complex poses.
  • "Trading" figures appear in gashapon machines or as blind boxes on shop counters, often as sets which include multiple characters. As suggested by the class name, the randomness encourages trading. They are usually very inexpensively-produced, though as with prizes, some series are better than others.
  • "Non-scale" encompasses a variety of other categories. It is often used to describe poseable figure lines such as figma and Nendoroids.
In recent years producers such as Good Smile Company attempted to further bridge the gap between prize quality and scales by introducing figure lines which are intended to be moderately-priced while retaining a higher level of detail than the typical prize figure, to varying levels of success.
17. There are so many figure companies! Who makes good figures?!
Obviously this is a very subjective question, but as a general starting point, here are a few well renowned figure companies:
  • Alter
  • Max Factory
  • Good Smile Company
  • Kotobukiya (usually hit or miss for people. Use your best judgement based off of the prototype)
  • Flare
  • Stronger
18. I really love “series X / character X”- how can I check if any figures were ever made for it?
My Figure Collection can be your best friend here. Simply do a search on the name of the series or character using the search bar located at the top right of the screen, and all associated figures pop up!
Alternatively, if you’re looking at a figure’s MFC entry, most of the text under the “Details” section can be clicked on and used to run a search.
19. How can I commission a custom figure?
None of the major figure companies (Alter, Kotobukiya, Good Smile Company, etc.) will take a commission for a single figure. This thread has a few websites in it that you can check out, or you can look into garage kits. Some kit painters would be willing to resculpt, frankenstein together, or otherwise modify kits for the right price.
If you're looking for help completing a garage kit, /brushforhire may be useful.

Keeping Up with New Announcements

20. How can I keep up with figure news (announcements, updates, etc.)?
Most people use a MFC combined with any or all of the following news sites:
Many figure companies are active on Twitter, so following them there is recommended for quicker news.
To use MFC for this I’ll quote question #9.
If you make an account on MFC you can also subscribe to comments, changes, and pictures via a checkbox on the right hand side of a figure’s listing. Subscribing to any of these things will allow MFC to send you an email anytime the subscription in question updates. Subscribing to “changes” is a great way to keep up with release dates and delays, among other things.
Most companies have one or more Twitter accounts. Some examples: Good Smile Company sales, Good Smile's USA branch, Max Factory, AmiAmi Hobby News.
21. Everyone’s excited about something called Wonfes….. what the heck is that?!
WonFes (short for Wonder Festival) is a biannual figure expo where many figure producers (both large and small) show off new sculpts and updates to figures already under way. Most companies save their most exciting announcements for WonFes, so we all look forward to the expo whenever it rolls around! Winter Wonder Festival is usually held in February, while Summer Wonder Festival is usually in July. The event has also spread to Shanghai, in the late spring.
22. One or two (or 15) figures were announced at WonFes that I’m really excited about! How can I keep track of their progress once the event is over?
MFC is always really quick about getting new WonFes announcements (or any others throughout the year, for that matter) listed in their database, so we suggest using that. To find a figure from the event you can search any number of things, including the name of the character or the name of the show. You can also use the tag search to search “WonderFestival 20xx_[season]” to see all items announced at that event.

2024.05.15 22:06 blueraptorz The full in-depth magic os and Honor phone experience, the good and the bad..

I keep my notepad regularly updated. These were my thoughts on the first week of my new phone and then after months later with extended use. Here it is:
HONOR MAGIC 5 PRO
(My guess is that the cameras would fail first 27/12/23)
*GOOD*✓
PRICE, performance, camera, thermals, super bright, ltpo 1-120hz, ufs 4.0(won't struggle loading gallery photos), battery 5100mah amazing battery life, 220g, 3x 50mp cameras with night video + night selfies + cinematic mode + macro mode etc, ultrasonic fingerprint, 3d face unlock.
•Really nice Extended screenshots that aren't bugged (looking at you OnePlus 7 pro)
•Dual apps and dual sims
• I knew the camera was good but wow but still lacking optimisation in tough scenarios.
• I never knew screens could actually get better again , wow
•WiFi 7 or whatever is awesome
•Awesome Speed
• easy to use ui to organise the home screen
•Cool miniture multitasking windows
•extended screenshots work amazing especially on WhatsApp
•Grabbing text from images in the gallery is great but doesn't work sometimes with screenshots and webpages
•love one handed mode, easy to get to. Love the floating shutter button in the camera, I Really helps using the camera one handed.
The link to windows feature is meh but it's there.
*BAD on honor***
• The notch Vs 18:9 videos 😭
• notification issues, no matter how hard i try, some apps just won't give me notifications like push bullet. WhatsApp works fine. When I wake up in the morning and turn the wifi on the phone on, I expect the phone to scan through and give me things I've missed but nope, I got nothing. As I checked through my emails, I saw that I made a sale on eBay, but no notification or anything popped up even after turning WiFi on. After about a few minutes I go into eBay app settings, and then the notification of my sale comes through.
•Clicking WhatsApp youtube links takes me straight to the regular yt app instead of Vanced or the browser even after changing around the default settings
• I don't like how the volume buttons and power buttons are so close to each other and on the same side, I am always confused which button I'm clicking and have to always double check.
•Can't lock rotation in landscape (workaround is using the quick setting tiles app)
• can't go into specific app settings from the recent tabs either (Workaround, you just open up the multitasker, then you have to hold the app icon In the top left corner, super hidden but found it 😁)
• no offscreen gestures but doesn't matter too much
•No way to turn off honor virtual ram turbo (apparently not good for the storage, I don't need more than 12gb ram anyway)
• weak support for launchers, where switching between the launcher and the magic UI is clunky without the usual animations
• slow to switch between camera lenses with all the ois it's trying to do and sounds it's making.
6.8 inches size
EDIT GOOD Few months later:
Also, I found out that if you pull up the Google assistant when there's an image, and tap on search screen, it does exactly what Samsung s24 were advertising.
I found out that if you pull up the multitasker then long press the bin icon, you can go to thr uninstall page in settings. If you long press the app icon, it's takes you to the app settings, quite tough to findout.
With the new updates, video editing in the gallery has been greatly revamped, the camera UI is must more useful but could be a bit cleaner looking.
EDIT BAD Few months later:
• can't go below minimum brightness, when using the phone at night (please ADD extra dim feature in the eye comfort mode)
•when using app drawer, NO auto add app to home screen after downloading an app
• no double tap and empty part of the screen to turn off the screen (used this for 8+ years every day, so now I'm adjusting to using a screen lock widget instead)
•cant change icons, rename apps or remove names from apps for a clean look (I don't personally care, but this is for the sake of thoroughness)
•With/without app drawer enabled, when you hold an app on the home screen, Please add option to Uninstall the app, Rename the App or Go in to App Settings.
While using" tap to display AOD", After turning the screen off, the AOD is displayed for 5 seconds and turns the screen off which is very strange, I would like to turn this off.
PLEASE ADD long press or double tap Power button for camera. I already use double tap volume down for torch feature.
Please add NOTIFICATION HISTORY FEATURE!!!
PLEASE ADD double tap an empty part of the home screen to turn off the screen
On the AOD, after magic os 8 still I don't have the feature to display what music is currently playing.
I would like to see the addition of an object eraser in the gallery..
Putting the phone on silent or do not disturb should Automatically mute the media audio
In the camera app, When I toggle flash manually, take the photo and then close the camera app, the camera flash should reset to auto mode or off. but next time when I open the camera app, the camera flash is still turned on. PLEASE fix this!!!!!
On iPhone and other android phones - when using the timer in the camera, the flashlight will flash every second. This is not available on honor, PLEASE add this feature. The Timer should use the flash!
Screen calibration needs more customisation options, sometimes my screen feels more yellow compared to other smartphones.
Sometimes, When I pick up a phone call, the other person can't hear what I'm saying. Mic is turned on everything working but they can't hear me. I am forced to disconnect the call and call them back PLEASE fix this issue. I use Google dialer app but it's a problem in both dialers.
Tldr: i knew I'd love the speed. The battery is amazing but still a one day battery, camera is amazing and the main reason I bought this phone as I take alot alot of photos.
Last year November, there was no other phone with a sd 8gen2, crazy fast ufs4.0 with usb 3.1, 512gb storage, 3x50mp cameras and 100x zoom, face unlock etc etc, it was an absolute Bargain at £550.
After 5 years of Honor magic 5 pro, Would I do this again? I'm not sure simply because of meh Honor software, awful customisation and the software bugs Ive listed out. I am open to trying a Samsung or pixel or nothing phones tbh but I might come back after that.

2024.05.15 20:29 redditproductteam We heard you… awards are back!

TL;DR - Awards are back. We’re also expanding the Contributor Program and announcing a make-good program for those who lost coins during the last product iteration. Let’s start with the obvious – we tried something new, it wasn’t great (you called it). And now – it’s time for us to do something about it. So we’re (re)launching awards, not-so-new but definitely improved. Rollout starts today on reddit.com and Reddit’s iOS and Android apps.

We messed up – sorry

ICYMI, last year we released new features that we thought would make the experience of rewarding high-quality posts and comments even better. To address feedback that awards were starting to clutter posts and feeds, we replaced legacy awards with a simplified experience where redditors could purchase “new” gold – displayed as a golden upvote – directly with cash, rather than having to purchase coins first.
While the golden upvote was certainly simpler in theory, in practice, it missed the mark. It wasn’t as fun or expressive as legacy awards, and it was unclear how it benefited the recipient.
As part of the launch of the golden upvote, we also introduced the Contributor Program in the U.S. The program allows eligible users to earn cash for their contributions, as measured by the gold and karma received. (It’s worth noting that although there were understandable concerns about the Contributor Program leading to karma farming or other spam and fraud issues, we haven’t seen an increase in this behavior since the rollout six months ago.) Unlike the golden upvote, interest in the program has grown… more on that in a second.
Finally, as part of this launch, we sunset coins. We gave those with a balance two months to spend their coins before we cleared balances and removed the monthly drip as a benefit of Reddit Premium.

Award upgrades

We realized the golden upvote was the wrong direction, and the right one was the one you were advocating for all along: awards. We went back to the ol’ drawing board and created a refreshed experience that captures the original spirit of awards, with a few improvements.
Tap on the awards button in a post or comment to give an award and purchase gold
View the top awards and gold earned by a post or comment in the awards leaderboard
We’ve added:

Contributor Program expansion

We want redditors who make the most valuable contributions on Reddit to receive real value; not just internet points.
With growing interest in the Contributor Program, we have expanded the program so that qualifying redditors in 35 countries can now earn cash for their contributions to the community. See if you’re eligible to sign up.

The Evolution of Gold and Coins

Gold has been a lot of things in Reddit history. The term has been used interchangeably in the context of awarding content, Reddit Premium, and more – among other things. With this new version of awards, gold can be purchased to give awards. You can buy it in bulk and spend down your gold balance and/or top it up when giving an award.
Those who had a coin balance when we introduced the golden upvote and sunset coins had two months to spend their coins before we cleared balances and removed the monthly drip as a benefit of Reddit Premium. For the most prolific and helpful among you, who’d accumulated heaps of coins a la Scrooge McDuck, this was, shall we say, a not-so-great experience.
We know we did not adequately communicate why we removed coins or what was coming next. It wasn’t cool of us, we’re sorry, and we want to make it right. If we removed your coins balance, you’ll have access to a number of exclusive awards to give for free. We don’t want our past mistakes to get in the way of you enjoying the new experience.
Exclusive awards available to coin holders
This is all so new (but kinda old? but also new?) and you may have questions. You can find support in a few places:
We’ll be hanging around today if you have any questions, so feel free to drop them in the comments.

2024.05.15 19:14 BrilliantPlatypus94 Large 1BR/1BA in Woodley/Cleveland Park for $1975 (building gym, top floor, rent control + other amenities!) available 6/8

Craigslist post here with pictures: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/apa/d/washington-spacious-1br-incredible/7747199694.html
I am looking for someone to take over my lease starting June 8th. I’m graduating and have to move, otherwise I would never leave this incredible apartment. I have lived here for three years and it is truly a perfect home in DC.
It is a spacious 1-bedroom, 1 bath with three massive closets and an updated kitchen with in-unit dishwasher. The apartment is perfectly situated and is always full of light. You have a picture-perfect view of the Washington monument from the living room and the kitchen (the sunset pictures in the gallery are pictures I took from the kitchen window). The apartment has beautiful hardwood floors and huge windows in every room. It is also a **rent controlled** building, capping the amount your rent can be raised each year.
The unit is on the top floor—you’ll never hear footsteps or upstairs neighbors. Very solid construction building, I’ve never heard my next door neighbors.
The building has tons of great amenities: You have access to a full gym (for no extra cost), a dog park, a community room that can be rented for parties or get-togethers, and a beautiful roof deck that offers sweeping views of DC. Since the apartment is on the top floor, the roof deck is only a small flight of stairs away, making it feel like your own private roof. There is a large laundry room in the building and the building’s elevators make it easy to access (no hauling baskets up & down stairs!). The building also has package lockers that ensure you’ll never have another stolen package. There is a BBQ/picnic area with giant barbeque grills for use.
The building is a 7-minute walk from the Red Line (Woodley Park station) and is close to Dupont Circle, Cleveland Park, and a short walk from the Adam’s Morgan nightlife. Walking distance to the Zoo as well! It is the perfect combination of a quiet, peaceful apartment that is close to everything DC has to offer.
The building has parking spots for an additional monthly fee, but there is easy residential zoned parking behind the building. I’ve never had trouble finding a space. Pets are allowed for an additional fee (I believe $500 deposit + $35/month for cats, $50 a month for dogs).
Watetrash/gas paid for by building, tenant is responsible for cable + electric.
Please reach out if you are interested and I can answer any questions you may have, and will connect you with my building management. It is a one of a kind spot.

Transforming a cramped living area into a spacious sanctuary might seem like a tall order, but with the right strategies, it's entirely possible. Whether you're nestled in a cosy Johannesburg apartment or making the most of a compact Cape Town cottage, maximising space in small South African homes is both an art and a science.

In this guide, we'll explore how to declutter, optimise, and reimagine your living space, ensuring every square metre serves a purpose. Get ready to breathe new life into your home, making it a place you and your loved ones can truly enjoy.

Key Takeaways

Understanding the Appeal of Wall Baskets

In the quest to maximise small spaces within a South African context, wall baskets have emerged as a simple yet transformative solution. As you delve into the world of wall decor, it's hard to overlook the versatility and aesthetic appeal of wall baskets for decor. Drawing inspiration from local crafts and contemporary designs, EYA Home Living showcases how these accessories can serve both as storage solutions and artistic expressions.
What are wall baskets, you might ask? Traditionally rooted in African culture, these decorative pieces are intricately woven using sustainable materials. Their charm lies not only in the craftsmanship but also in their functionality. By incorporating EYA wall baskets into your decor, you essentially double the utility of your walls, turning them into focal points that are both beautiful and practical.
Adapting your space with wall decor baskets opens up a realm of possibilities. Imagine converting a bare, unused wall into a stylish storage area or an eye-catching gallery. The beauty of wall baskets is that they come in various sizes, colours, and designs, allowing for an unparalleled level of customisation. Mix and match to create patterns or thematic arrangements that reflect your personality and the vibrancy of South African decor.
Moreover, integrating wall baskets into your living area doesn't only serve aesthetic purposes. It's a clever way to declutter surfaces and optimise your living environment without sacrificing style. From holding magazines and plants to storing kitchen utensils or bathroom essentials, the possibilities are limitless.
As you consider the potential of wall baskets to rejuvenate and organise your space, remember to explore the range available at EYA Home Living. This exploration may just be the first step towards breathing new life into your home, proving that sometimes, the most straightforward solutions are right in front of us, waiting to be hung.

Innovative Ways to Utilise Wall Baskets in Compact Spaces

When you're dealing with limited square footage in your home, every inch counts. In South Africa, where innovative solutions are continually sought to enhance living environments, EYA Home Living emerges as a beacon of creativity for home decor. Wall baskets, particularly those featured in EYA's diverse collection, represent an excellent way to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. Here's how you can transform your compact spaces using these versatile pieces.

Maximising Vertical Space

Firstly, consider the untapped potential of your vertical spaces. Wall baskets can serve as an ingenious method to Declutter surfaces and counter tops. By affixing baskets of varying sizes and designs, you can create a modular storage system that houses everything from kitchen spices to bathroom essentials. EYA's range of wall decor baskets embodies the perfect amalgam of local artistry and contemporary design, making it simple for you to find options that resonate with your personal style.

Creating Focal Points

Beyond just utility, EYA wall baskets offer you an artistic avenue to personalise your living area. You can curate a vibrant gallery wall using baskets in different patterns and textures, turning a blank wall into the centrepiece of the room. This not only adds depth and character to your space but also showcases a unique blend of South African craftsmanship.

Zone Dividing

In the spirit of Innovation, why not use wall baskets for decor purposes to delineate distinct areas within a single room? By strategically positioning baskets, you can visually separate a workspace from a living area or define a dining nook within a larger room. This approach maintains an open and airy feel, which is crucial in smaller living environments, yet introduces an element of structure and organisation.

Practical Yet Stylish Solutions

For those who cherish aesthetics as much as functionality, incorporating wall baskets into your decor can elevate the look of your home without compromising on utility.

Firstly, understanding what are wall baskets is crucial. They are not just storage items but also pieces of art that can enhance the aesthetic of any room. Wall decor baskets serve multiple purposes - from holding your essentials to showcasing your unique taste in home decor.
Here's how you can choose the right wall baskets for your space:
Remember, the right wall baskets not only maximise your vertical space but also act as an extension of your personal style. By carefully selecting wall baskets that resonate with your aesthetic and functional needs, you can create a space that feels more open, organised, and uniquely yours.

These wall baskets are made from Ilala palm, a natural material that adds an organic touch to your interior. And let's not forget the versatility – whether your home is a temple of minimalism or a sanctuary of boho chic, Buhera baskets blend seamlessly, adding texture and depth to any décor style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 10x10 bedroom small?

Yes, a 10x10 bedroom is considered on the smaller side. Choosing the right furniture and arranging it cleverly is key to maximising the available space.

How can I make my small space look more spacious?

To make a small space appear larger, utilise vertical space, opt for see-through or minimal furniture, introduce more light, use large decorative accents strategically, avoid placing all furniture against walls, maintain a simple colour scheme, consider skipping heavy curtains, and incorporate elements of nature indoors.

How do you maximise a small room space?

Maximising a small room involves avoiding bulky furniture, opting for floating shelves and multipurpose items, adding mirrors to reflect light and space, using metallic finishes for a sense of depth, and taking advantage of vertical space for storage and decoration.

How do you make a small space look less cluttered?

To make a small space look less cluttered, aim for simplicity in your design choices. Seek out furniture with clean lines and slender legs to open up the space. Opt for pieces that lift off the floor, and keep your colour palette and decorations minimal to reduce visual clutter.

How can I make more space in my small house?

Creating more space involves selecting furniture with exposed legs, mounting your TV on the wall, choosing art and decor that complement the room's scale, sticking to a neutral colour palette, building smart storage solutions, opting for a large rug to create the illusion of more floor area, installing magnetic strips for kitchen and bathroom accessories, and utilising open wall spaces for shelves or wall-mounted baskets.

Recommendations for nice ~A5 notebooks with 31 lines to a page
Hi all! Really appreciate this community of people doing bullet journal as suggested in the original book, rather than (very cool) art projects!
As per title, I’m looking for recommendations for a nice journal around A5 size with 31 lines. My current journal has 24 and making the monthly spread is driving me mad 😅
Pics for tax - first of how a 31-day month is rendered in my current journal (ew), the second is why I got it, a nice cover from a local Birmingham (UK) based art gallery (artist is Natasha Durley), pen holder my partner got me as a present and the tabs is my own innovation on the basic BuJo: along the top are bookmarks for projects/collections, and along the side are bookmarks for each month
Thanks all!

🔥[FREE TRIAL] Most Reviewed and Successful Coaching Server JOIN Professional PG/CLOL Challenger Coach - 3,000+ Students Affordable Prices 🔥
Hey everyone, my name is Joon and I am a GrandmasteChallenger player on the NA server. I also achieved the Master rank in 100 games on the Korean server. I currently have 5 accounts in 5 roles in MasteGM Elo and I constantly play Solo Q to keep up with meta changes (No Season 3-High Elo-washed up player coaching here 😉). I am also a CLOL collegiate coach for Ryerson University-TMU and verified both on Pro Guides (https://www.proguides.com/coach/joon) and the League Coaching subreddit.
Why Choose Me?
More than anything I am very proud of the work and progress that I have achieved with all of my students over the course of years of coaching. I would encourage you, my potential new students, to have a look at the student progress page on my server, where many of my students post frequently showing the tremendous progress that they have made since they started coaching with me (https://discord.gg/SUrJuazdBz). My approach to each student is individual and I can quickly identify your strengths and weaknesses. Unlike many other coaches, my goal is not to push you to play my playstyle or my champions but to highlight YOUR strengths in your gameplay and minimize any weaknesses you might have.
Pricing
- Each coaching session takes 1 hour and costs $30 per session.
Do you offer bundles and plans?
- Absolutely, I include a FREE 1-HOUR session for a bundle of 5 sessions. (5 Hours + 1 Free)
Is there a trial session?
- Yes, a trial session lasts around 15 minutes, in which I will review and analyze your OP.GG and watch one of your recent VODs of choice. During the trial session, I will focus on the common fundamental mistakes that you often make as well as point out some windows of opportunities that you tend to miss.
Rank Proof
Unlike many other "High Elo" coaches out there with no proof or accounts dating back to Season 6 or other prehistoric times when the game was completely different, I grind Solo Q on multiple High Elo accounts and servers constantly while reaching top GM+ ranks on every lane from top to bot on different servers (NA, EUW, KR) every season. In the last 2 seasons, I have climbed to Grandmaster + in every role. Accounts are posted on my discord for proof with screenshots and have my students added on my accounts as they tend to refer to my games for their own improvement.

2024.05.15 10:07 Event_photographer Benefits of Hiring a Professional Event Photographer

5 Reasons Why You Need a Professional Event Photographer

Events are fleeting moments in time. Whether it's a milestone birthday bash, a swanky product launch, or a heartwarming charity gala, the whirlwind of emotions and interactions create a unique atmosphere that's often difficult to replicate. But what if you could capture the essence of your event, the joy on faces, and the energy of the room, forever preserved in stunning photographs?
That's where a professional event photographer comes in. While a trusty smartphone might seem like a convenient option, the benefits of hiring a pro far outweigh the cost. Here are six compelling reasons why a professional event photographer is an essential investment for your next gathering:
  1. Professional-Grade Photos: Quality You Can Trust
Let's face it, smartphone cameras have come a long way. But there's a vast difference between a decent snapshot and a professional photograph. Event photographers wield top-of-the-line equipment, from high-resolution cameras with exceptional low-light capabilities to versatile lenses that capture both intimate details and sweeping panoramas. This translates into crisp, clear images that truly reflect the ambiance and professionalism of your event.
Imagine capturing a heartfelt speech bathed in warm stage lighting, or a candid moment of laughter between colleagues, all with stunning clarity and detail. A professional photographer ensures you don't miss a single precious moment, thanks to their superior equipment and technical expertise.
  1. The Art of Seeing: Capturing Candid Moments and Planned Poses
A skilled event photographer is more than just someone who points and shoots. They possess a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of composition. They know how to capture both the staged moments, like group photos and ribbon cuttings, and the spontaneous expressions of joy and connection that make your event unique.
Their experience allows them to anticipate key moments and position themselves strategically to capture them perfectly. They'll also blend seamlessly into the background, ensuring your guests feel comfortable and uninhibited, leading to more natural and genuine candid photographs.
  1. Expertise Under Pressure: Handling Unforeseen Circumstances
Events are dynamic. Lighting can be tricky, unexpected situations can arise, and schedules can sometimes run behind. A professional photographer is unfazed by such challenges. Their experience allows them to adapt to different lighting scenarios, think on their feet, and troubleshoot any technical difficulties that might arise.
They'll also work closely with you beforehand to understand your vision for the event and discuss potential challenges specific to the venue. This proactive approach ensures they're prepared to handle anything thrown their way, resulting in a stress-free experience for you and flawless photographs.
  1. Post-Production Magic: Transforming Good Photos into Great Memories
The photographer's job doesn't end with capturing the event. Professional photographers are also skilled editors who can transform good photos into great ones. Through color correction, cropping, and other post-production techniques, they'll enhance the visual appeal of your photographs, highlighting key moments and ensuring a consistent visual style throughout the final collection.
Imagine receiving a gallery of beautifully edited photos that showcase the vibrancy and spirit of your event. These edited photographs become cherished keepsakes, perfect for social media sharing, website galleries, or even printed keepsakes for attendees.
  1. A Seamless Addition to Your Event: Peace of Mind and Focus
Juggling the logistics of an event is stressful enough. Hiring a professional photographer frees you from the burden of capturing photos yourself. You can focus on greeting guests, ensuring everything runs smoothly, and enjoying the moment, knowing a skilled professional is documenting the event for posterity.
A good photographer will work discreetly and efficiently, blending into the background without disrupting the flow of the event. They'll also be happy to collaborate with you beforehand to understand your specific needs and preferences, ensuring they capture the moments that matter most to you.

2024.05.15 08:31 Tiffanyatang Unread post grayed out already

When I click on a post to read and return back to the subreddit, that post is grayed out, because I read it, which is normal. But, the next post is also grayed out too for the past few weeks, despite me not reading it yet. I don’t swipe left or right, not even a little bit, when I’m done with the post I hit the “X” in the top left corner to get out of the post. I’m on the Reddit app on my iPad. It doesn’t matter if it’s gallery view, card view, classic view. I uninstalled and reinstalled Reddit. I also cleared the history. I know it’s not a huge deal but I’m just curious what else I can do, lol. I’m also old so I probably did something wrong. Thanks for any help, it’s appreciated!

2024.05.15 06:30 CtYankinKAsCourt Need input on backyard steps

Ok, so my wife has tasked me with creating a set of steps or something for our backyard to get up out hill easier. Now this hill is long, the run is about 106.5 feet with a rise of about 17.5 feet, this gives me a slope of about 16.43%. Now I just wanted to do some pavers, but I have read that they will wash out above a 5% slope. So, I came up with a set of steps based on my days doing trail work. Now, when I used to build steps like these they were made from wood, however, my wife doesn’t want them made from wood. reconfigured my idea to be made from stone. Attached are the pictures of what I came up with. It is pretty much a buried 18x36x2 paver that makes up each rise of 7 inches spaced about 3’ 9” apart. Between each set of risers, I am going to put some pavers. The layers I plan on using are as follows from top to bottom:
  1. 2 Inch thick pavers wide spaced
  2. 2 inches of 3/8 gravel
  3. 4 inches of ¾ gravel
  4. 12 inches of grade 1 gravel (2-4 inches)
The risers will be installed on the same layering as the pavers.
To help keep the cut in steps, I am also planning on putting in some sidewalls made from 18x48x2 inch pieces. These will be imbedded about 10” on the high end to about 2.25” on the low end or more depending on the part of the slope with the remainder above the ground. These will be placed on the outside of each riser step to prevent from collapsing in.
Now, before I start digging and trying to get quotes of the stone, I wanted some feedback.
Namely, this idea will use about 30 3’ long and 54 4’ long pieces. That’s a lot of stone. So I am wondering, is this a good idea, will these steps work, or is these an easier way to do this?

New guitar invention I made
I have built a new guitar invention but I need your input!
I have been a guitarist and audio engineer for the better part of 30 years. About 20 years ago I got tired of losing new riffs I came up with, or watching someone pick up their guitar and play something amazing, ask them what that was only for them to tell me they had no idea. So I decided I would invent a new piece of gear. It would bridge the guitar world and the recording world. I call it Axetrax.
It is essentially just a replacement tone pot except inside is an ultra high quality hard disk recording system. In fact it records at the same level as the top audio interfaces used in professional recording studios. So when you play your guitar Axetrax automatically records and archives EVERYTHING you play and saves it to a micro SD card onboard. It has a small control plate that goes around your knob so you can use Axetrax as a live looper as well. It also turns your output jack into a headphone jack so you can plug right in, track a rhythm part, loop it and then hash out that solo as many times as you like. It even has some simple FX as well that only go to the headphone output, not on the recording. All of that and it still acts as a tone knob as well. You don’t have to know it’s there, it will record you just the same. No need to hit any buttons to start or stop it, it has a built in adjustable noise gate to prevent the unit from recording something small like the dog bumping the guitar. All the recorded guitar parts are easy to re-amp in any guitar studio. Just imagine if Jimi Hendrix had one of these in his guitar?
I have been self fundng this but am getting close to the point where I am looking for people who can assist me in licensing this concept to someone who can manufacture it. My intention is for it to retail for around $100 US. It’s feasible I think.
Here’s a photo of the current prototype and a link to more info.

What do you think? I wish I could tell you about the four other guitar inventions that dovetail with this one but they are still in the pre-patent stage.
