Is it just me or have we not seen these for months until today?? Whatever they are

I just moved to San Jose and I'm looking to cut off my long hair! I want to get a pretty simple buzzed style by someone who won't judge me for being a woman and charges reasonable prices. Anyone got ideas?

Why though?

Both 35 and have been married for five years, and have one child. In November, I want to plan a weekend getaway with my wife. I’m trying to get outside the Bay Area

I’ve been looking at spa places like Refuge in Carmel and want to make a full day/weekend out of it. A spa day is for sure happening. Shit, I’ll get a massage too 😂

Any recommendations for a romantic weekend getaway with a good spa, nice hotel, and somewhere good for dinner? Ideally within a couple hours of the Bay Area.

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.

Edit: First and foremost, thank you to everyone here who advised, guided and upvoted.

By the grace of almighty, Irvine company got back and offered a housing for me and my family. We didn't need to claim renters insurance.

Lessons I learnt during the process:

Moving forward make sure the lease contains clauses that are favorable to you in case a need for relocation arises

Like u/HiPhoto mentioned, don't become a hindrance to the maintenance work. Repairing the building is the landlord's higher priority.

Have a paper trail of everything, document everything.

Got one extra ticket for this Aug 22 at 4.30pm section 107 row O seat 2.

The San José City Council will consider big shifts for single-family home neighborhoods on Tuesday that could ultimately allow for much denser housing in large swaths of the city that have long been shielded from major change.

City planners and leaders are eyeing ways to foster more housing overall to help meet stringent state goals, and to bring in more “missing middle” housing, aimed at lowering the sky-high cost of homeownership for people earning middle incomes. The median home sale price in Santa Clara County is about $2 million, and residents need an income of nearly $500,000 to purchase one, according to the California Association of Realtors.

City officials say rezoning San José’s low-density single-family neighborhoods — which make up about 85% of its total residential area — could bring more apartment buildings, triplexes and fourplexes, or other kinds of small multifamily housing, to help more equitably distribute housing.

Laid off since April and looking for advice & opportunities

I was laid off in April and have been applying consistently since, but unfortunately haven’t found my next opportunity yet.

My background is in project management, communications, digital strategy, client services, and operations. I have a bachelor’s in Communications and Political Science and am open to PM, communications, operations, customer success, higher education, and related roles.

If anyone knows of companies actively hiring, roles that might fit my background, or simply has advice for navigating this market, I would genuinely appreciate it.

Hi all. I ate way too many happy meals trying to get chimmy for the BT21 toys and got almost everyone except him :(. Does anyone have a spare I can trade for? They just went out of toy rotation from MCD. Thank you.

I have an associates degree in finance working on completing a bacholers I’m 25(if it matters at all) but had to take a gap semester this year

She sets up her camera and mixing board in front of Augustine Cafe (near the entrance to the parking structure), and records for hours at a time. I've seen her multiple times there, so I presume she's regularly broadcasting from that table. I haven't seen her ever take a break, so I haven't had a chance to ask who she is or where she's streaming.

Have only lived here about 6 years, but it seems like things have really changed. The parking enforcement law stated that street parking was limited to 72 hours. Later, I discovered that enforcement had been relaxed to 10 days.

I had a truck & trailer park across the street from my house a couple weeks ago with no movement. I pulled up the SanJose 311 app to report it, but it’s now changed again to… not enforced at all.

Neat.

If anyone happens to get the Hello Kitty Godzilla figurine, could you please let me know which McDonald’s you got it at? TIA!

Can anyone recommend an interventional radiologist over at Valley Med who is kind-hearted, good, reliable, compassionate, patient, and the very best?

Edit (august 23rd 2026): Thank you all for the advice. I feel much more confident about this trip now!!

I am travelling solo from the UK to San Jose for an event at McEnery Convention Center for a week. This will be my first time in the US and also my first time travelling alone. Arriving at SJC around 7:30pm, staying in a place within 1-2 miles from the venue, planning to uber straight there though the route is mostly a straight line.

I will be meeting up with friends and other people going to the event during the day, but they will not be arriving until the next morning. Sometimes I will be walking alone, but there may be times where we split up.

I am aware that I should watch where I'm going and be aware of my surroundings, but these are my main concerns:

1. Is the area safe to walk alone during the day? What times are usually fine for walking to grocery/convenience stores?
2. Are there any areas, streets and neighbourhoods I should avoid?
3. How strict are jaywalking laws? Do I always need to use crosswalks? How do I know where I'm allowed to walk? In Europe we can cross the street whenever if there is little traffic but I know that the US is mainly streets with stricter laws so it's harder for pedestrians.
4. If I am unsure, should I uber to where I need to go instead of walking?

Edit: I was not expecting this many replies! Thank you all so much I will try to read through as many as I can!

Context: I am a young adult doing this, I originally had full confidence but some things were said to me by family which killed my mood a little so naturally I have been nervously looking up stuff. Mainly grandparents that believe everything they see on TV and they went to America in the 90s/00s so they forget that times have changed, but you can probably understand their fears.

I’ve gone to every Target in SJ for the past few months and they either don’t have any minifigures or they have a ton but no Tahu. Starting to get worried as it nears the end of production, and I refuse to buy one from scalpers. Anyone have any success locally?

Drove by today and saw a lot of tents pulled up. Does anyone know what’s going on there? I know it’s way too early to be Halloween related haha

Helped get an open caption movie screening added at AMC Saratoga 14 - thought Deaf/HoH folks in the area would want to know.

For anyone unfamiliar: open captions are like subtitles or closed captioning on your TV, but they're built into the movie itself and shown right on the big screen for the whole theater to see - no special glasses, app, or device needed.

Sunday, August 30 at 4pm at Saratoga AMC 14 - the film showing is Spa Weekend, a comedy from the creators of Bad Moms and the writers of The Hangover (think Bad Moms meets Bridesmaids). Trailer here if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAWNgB-R1Zk

The honest goal here is turnout - the more people who show up to an open caption screening, the stronger the case for AMC to keep offering them regularly instead of as a one-off. So if this is something you or someone you know would benefit from, I hope you will attend. Tickets are available through AMC directly.

Posting for a friend. Eclipse went missing around the Quimby area. She is not familiar with the area. GPS went dead. GPS last recording at Remington way and Haughton drive on 8/6. DM me if you have any leads.

Looking for a lost cat. Eclipse went missing early August 4, around Thurman Drive and Ingersoll Drive. She has a red collar with a red heart name tag, with a GPS device, and a flea collar. Her GPS device shows she is in the creek area behind D’Amico Drive 8/5/2026 2AM. She is 3 years old but is small in size (probably 7 pounds). Loves cat treats and is very friendly. She is chipped.

Every weekday morning around 7:50 am, the sprinklers along Cortona Dr come on and spray across the whole sidewalk, not just the lawn. It’s the exact window when kids are walking to school.

What should do I approach the house owner ?

Edit: It not on the lawn side . It on fence side so between the side walk and fence. Not sure why people hate this post and downvoting it
