r/Sunnyvale

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an affordable personal trainer in and around santa clara, north san jose. My main goals are strength training w nutrition and weight loss.

I have been strength training with my friends over a couple of months so I know the basics and form and I dont have any major health problems, but now I wanna do it under a professional trainer so I can achieve my goals properly.

My budget is 50-70$/ session, idk if this is less or more but, I’m relatively new to this personal training thing so yeah…. Drop me inputs, suggestions if you would wanna recommend a trainer or dm me if you are a perosnal trainer willing to train.

Thanksssss!!!

We recently moved into the North Park Apartment community owned and managed by The Irvine Company. Ours is a family of four, with two little kids.

Last week, the Unit above us flooded due to a Washing machine breakdown. The water seeped through their floor and poured heavily through our ceiling. All our light fixtures had water pouring through them. This happened in the middle of the night, luckily we were home and were able to contain the water in buckets.

Later inspectors (private, from the Irvine Company) came in and saw water still sitting in the ceiling. They advised repairs and told us we may not be allowed to stay in the unit at the time of repairs.

The Irvine company reached out to us and wants us to file a claim with our renters insurance and also claim temporary housing from them. This doesn't makes sense to me. Why should we file a claim when it's not our fault? Won't it affect our insurance history and cause problems later?

When I refused to file the claim they asked us to stay with our friends and family. We don't have any friends and family in the area.

They are offering to give a credit of 129$ per day (daily rent) for not being able to stay at the unit. But 129$ cannot get you anything. Hotel prices are almost twice. I don't know what to do.

This feels unfair. Can landlords do this? Are they not liable for anything here?

Do I have any options?

Also, please correct me if I am wrong on my part.

The mail — from Sunnyvale, San Jose, Mountain View, Menlo Park, Sausalito and Oakland — included checks, credit cards, and other personal identifying information, police said Thursday on social media.

Was walking through and saw multiple cars with broken rear windshields. Anyone know what happened?

Does anyone know of any good shops to inspect and replace the bearings of my wheels in Sunnyvale and/or surrounding areas? Bonus if it’s relatively cheap as well!

TLDR: Just a fair warning to anyone living near Vargas Elementary or surrounding neighborhoods, there’s a skunk that sounds like he’s antagonizing other stray animals & spraying them. be careful, keep your windows shut, your pets inside, & your noses plugged!!!

I’ve always seen skunks around here & there, and I’ve definitely smelled them from my car countless times while driving around, but today it finally happened. I was just hanging out on my couch, when I randomly got a whiff of something horrendous. at first, I thought it might be something burning, so I panicked and started searching for a source. It wasn’t until I got closer to the open window in one of our rooms that I realized the smell was coming from outside. By then I had also clocked that it was less of a “burning smell” and more of a “sulfur-y rotten smell”. AKA skunk. I ran to my back door to see if I would spot the culprit in action, but all I saw was a scared little baby opossum running across the yard and up the fence. I also have 4 nosy cats, which could easily be seen through the open window, so my assumption is that the skunk was outside, noticed the possum and/or my cats, and started up its DFM (Defensive Farting Maneuvers).

I am currently sitting on my front step outside, letting my house air out, and as I’m sitting out here writing this, I literally just heard a stray cat do the classic ‘angry fighting cat noise’ off in the distance. How much you wanna bet that Pepé Le Pew is still out there antagonizing more animals with his ass cannon??? haven’t you done enough, buddy???? disgusting & audacious truly.

Edit since people might be mildly concerned:
I don’t hate skunks by any means, and I certainly don’t want to trap or KILL them… I’m well aware that the poor lil dude was probably just scared or stressed, and not inherently evil. He’s not a bully, and I would like to formally apologize to all skunks. All respect & love goes out to Pepé & his crew. I just wanted to tell a funny story of my house getting stink bombed at 1am & warn anyone with outside pets, honestly.
Also mild update on my house, for anyone wondering, the smell is completely gone overnight, so no worries there!!! :’)

Hi folks Happy Sunday !

where would it be appropriate to post/look for someone who is interested in side hustle for a decent pay? A couple of people are needed for that.

FYI : My inbox is open

Planning to buy my first place sometime within the next year and I've been pretty set on Sunnyvale because my office is nearby. The problem is I'm only actually going in 2 days a week now, and looking at what my budget gets me here has me questioning how much that convenience is really worth.I like the area and can see myself staying for a long time, but paying that much extra mainly to make two commutes easier every week is getting harder to justify. Thought on this?

What are the best places I should visit before I leave forever..

For adults, for kids, in general… are there any? There have to be, and I assume I just have not found them yet.

More and more, I am seeing cars parked on the left side of the street—day and night! I am not referring to deliveries that last only 30 seconds. I am referring to people who think it is okay to make up their own rules or just don’t give a damn about rules.
At one house on my street,( not naming; don’t want to doxx) there is someone who parks a Tesla on the left side, and charges the car with the cord stretching across the sidewalk- -overnight!

If that was the only one, I might chalk it up to general assholery, but it’s everywhere you go in Sunnyvale. Is this even legal? It is an accident waiting to happen.
And before any of you remind me, I am aware that we have other, larger issues. As a tax-paying citizen of over 30 years I am just exercising my right to call out this kind of behavior before it becomes normal.

Hi Guys,

Curious if any cricket happening around sunnyvale or santaclara? Tennis or tape over the weekend. Any teams looking for players?
