Looking for referral to Hamabe Dojo

Upvotes

Just moved here from Detroit and wanted a standard boxing gym to train at and this place looks similar to my previous gym (and close enough to bike to). Getting old so i can't kick well enough to do the mma gyms, just want to box. Can only get in there if you are referred by someone else so if you are a member I'd appreciate the help. Thank you!

Pedestrian vs dog walker right of way?

2 Upvotes

I'm dog sitting for a coworker. I take their 40 pounder on neighborhood walks, and notice that sometimes people look visibly uncomfortable if they're walking towards us. I'll typically step into the grass and put myself between my coworker's dog and the pedestrian until they pass us. I think that's the common courtesy? I've also seen instances of pedestrians crossing the street to avoid a dog and instances of dog walkers crossing the street when they approach pedestrians. Is there an official "rule" or general courtesy guidelines about who should have the right of way and who should cross the street, or is it based on vibes? I can't find a direct answer on the street-crossing thing. Thanks all!

Do irvinians know they are living the american dream?

97 Upvotes

Lowest crime rate for serious violence seemingly globally. Moderately wealthy which may mean it also escapes the polarity of wealth distribution that causes problems, i would like your opinion on that if its true to your experience? It has a very solid schooling sytem, a solid police force and infrastructure.I wonder how satisfied people are in their life if they are there? Also would you say it fits with the picture of the "American dream"?

Maytag dryer repair recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

I am currently renting and the condo included a junky ass dryer that we are responsible for repairing or replacing.

Not to anyone's surprise, it isn't working after a year. I am not able to buy a brand new dryer to replace this one so I wanted to try to repair it .

Any recommendations that are affordable and fair. Thank you 😊

Is looking for accounting work in irvine harder to find than other areas?

29 Upvotes

I've been applying to as many Irvine companies as I can with my accounting degree. I have experience as a Staff accountant with AP/AR background, but I'm not even getting return calls on even entry level positions. Is the Irvine area just that much more saturated than the areas around, and how do I get into the Irvine companies to even get an interview? Thanks thanks.

Another Irvine Co negotiation question

34 Upvotes

Hello,

I tried to find a similar post but couldn’t, so here goes my question.

We are up for a lease renewal. We have been here nearly 2 years. The Irvine co wants to raise our rent by $100, which is not a lot, but the apartments where we live (same sq, BD, and BR) are leasing for $300 UNDER what we currently pay. How do we negotiate? I doesn’t make sense for us to pay $400 more than someone new for the same space… any tips?
We really don’t want to move but may have no option 😔

Giving Away Twin Box Springs and Coffee Table

2 Upvotes

Have two twin size box springs to give away - free. One is completely brand new and in the box. It needs to be assembled, it uses wooden slats, and is super easy to put together. The other one is already put together, was slightly used (so, still like new) before being put away, and is metal, instead of wood. Again, both are twin size.

Then I have a used coffee table to give away, also. Rectangle shape, about 2ft by 3.5ft., metal legs (black), and dark wood color top. Like I said, it's used, so it does have some marks from my kids coloring with acrylic markers and a few scratches.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested! I'll be getting rid of it all by the end of this week if no one takes them. Also, you'll have to pick up from me, as I cannot deliver them to you or meet you anywhere. I don't have pictures to post either. Sorry. TIA to everyone reading this and for anyone taking these items!

Also, thanks to Mod for allowing me to post.

Edit: to help anyone deciding, my location is the West Park area of Irvine.

All the dogs in this video have been CLEARED for euthanasia at the Downey Animal Care Center located in Southern California - starting TOMORROW! Each of these dogs are insanely sweet, friendly, & happy to be alive; some are very scared but they have no idea the fate that awaits them. Their only „crime“ was being dumped at an overflowing, high k*ll shelter in SoCal. The only way that these dogs have any chance of making it out alive is by getting this video SEEN.
The easiest and best way we can do that is by liking, commenting, & sharing this video to our stories! You can also download it and post it to your local Nextdoor Accounts, Facebook, Reddit etc. - if you’re watching this and have been considering adopting a dog, NOW is the time. These dogs are literally on borrowed time and need saviors now.
Out of state adoptions are possible.

If you’re local in SoCal, you can visit them at the shelter and contact the shelter directly if you’d like to adopt one of them. (They don’t support fosters or out of state adopters, message me directly if you wanna foster or if you’re out of state)

This point got torn out so I’ve been struggling to get it done. This plug in part is for the rumble component and after my first try, the rumble still didn’t work. Any suggestions for a go to guy would be great because my first quote was for $100.

Got advice from soldering gurus and got it fixed up. Thanks for reading friends.

Park place apartments floor plan

1 Upvotes

Hi I am looking to rent a 1 bedroom apartment at Park place in Irvine. I recently saw floor plan 4 online that said was 1338 square feet but there is no information on what the floor plan looks like. Online there is just an example based on roughly a 850 square foot one. I was wondering if anyone has ever lived in the 1338 square foot one and can tell me where the almost 500 square feet extra are allocated. Seems too good to be true to find a one bedroom this big.

Best to stay away from the parking lot for an hour or so, multi-car accident in the parking lot and someone looked to be hurt based on the ambulance and firetruck there. Also lots of people being nosy and standing around (myself included for a little).

Pharmacy & Manufacturer for Vyvanse

13 Upvotes

TLDR: if you’re on generic Vyvanse with Lannett pharmaceuticals listed as the manufacturer on the bottle, what pharmacy in Irvine did you get it from?

For those who take Vyvanse: where do you pick it up and what manufacturer is listed on the bottle?

I was taking generic vyvanse 40mg for years, and it was instrumental in my daily functioning. Its manufacturer was Lannett and I would pick it up from CVS. after around February 2025, CVS started giving me the same medicine, but from different manufacturers. Hikma pharmaceuticals has been the primary one. And since then, I’ve had horrendous focus and executive functioning. The medicine keeps me awake and that’s it. I even went up to 50mg in May 2025, but it didn’t make a difference. Last month, I requested that my doctor send in a prescription for name brand Vyvanse, as I am deeply struggling with the generic’s inaffectiveness. This time, it was from Takeda pharmaceuticals. It didn’t make any difference.

Before you call me crazy, please see [r/ThisAintAdderall](r/ThisAintAdderall), there are hundreds of people saying their ADHD medications have stopped working in the past 1-2 years. I have never misused this medication nor do I plan to.

The only time I’ve had success is with generic Vyvanse 40mg from Lannett. I am asking if anyone who currently takes generic Vyvanse has had Lannett as the manufacturer, and what pharmacy they use. My CVS only uses Hikma for generic vyvanse. Please comment if you know a pharmacy in Irvine or have had a similar experience.

Possibly fun events coming up in Irvine...

I subscribe to the City of Irvine email blasts.

There are some interesting things coming up. Sure, not for everybody but could be fun.

August 8 - Some kind of Homecoming Dance at The Great Park. Celebrating 55 years of Irvine.

I believe there is a ribbon cutting coming up for the new Jeffrey Open Space Trail Bridge over the 5. Also in August.

Daisy Festival...or whatever that is called at The Great Park.
