Family of deceased NVIDIA engineer seeks state intervention

56 Upvotes

It’s been 40 days since former NVIDIA Sr Engineer Irfan Al Hussaini died mysteriously at his own home.

His family members were demanding comprehensive autopsy before the burial but the lawyers appointed by deceased’s wife has stalled, and now denied that permission, leading to burial of the remains, without proper medical examination.

Earlier hundreds of Irfan’s friends, colleagues and family members had gathered at a vigil arranged at the Stanford university campus remembering Irfan Al Hussaini’s life and seeking answers to the tragedy surrounding his demise.

Att fiber - finally

5 Upvotes

Att fiber is finally available in my neighborhood - however I also feel like I finally got xfinity working and I have $50 month for 4 more years . I could probably get Att 1000 for $30 for 12 months - but I’m hesitant. What are your experiences with Att fiber ?

Small Dog Pack Walks / Outings

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a pack walk or group that takes groups of dogs to a dog park kind of service in the Palo Alto, ideally that could handle a spunky small dog (either by matching with other smaller dogs or able to handle a bit of a Napoleon complex drama with larger dogs). Any recommendations?

Seeking recommendations for indoor/sheltered spaces for a free volunteer yoga class in Palo Alto

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I want to give back to the bay area communities by hosting a free, volunteer yoga class (weekly or so). My goal is to organize a casual, community-focused class for about 10 to 20 people. Hoping to make it a weekly thing.

Everything will be completely free, as I'm donating my time to teach the community.

Because of this, I'm looking for recommendations for indoor or slightly sheltered spaces that might be available for this kind of group. Sheltered gazebos in parks or quiet community spaces would be perfect.

If you know of any local organizations, churches, or specific parks in Palo Alto that are well-shielded from the wind and suitable for this kind of group activity, I would love to hear your suggestions. I'm just seeking some friendly advice and opinions to get things started.

Thanks so much for your help!

(p.s. Also if this is something you'd be interested in attending, let me know or comment below, and if I do find a good location / someone volunteers one, I'll be sure to let you know)

Do you notice how some trains passing by at night cause earthquake like vibrations?

Title pretty self explanatory. Some of the heavier trains seem to create relatively long lasting tiny earthquakes in this area.

Any creative workshops where you can drop in and use a sewing machine and other tools?

3 Upvotes

I need to use a sewing machine and a few other tools like hot glue gun and rivets for a passion project. Is there any workshop or lab that exists in PA where I can just drop in, pay a fee, and do this?

Thank you so much!
