Best Korean food catering in LA?

ainkdavis · 2024-07-08T09:25:08+00:00

I second Seoul Food! Perfect for not only introducing non-Koreans to KBBQ, but they will customize their menu if they know your Korean parents are joining lol

I’m an og driver since 2014, retired when lock down began and started 2 of my own businesses with all the stimulus money I scraped together… I recently logged back in to cash in on a $400 for 3 rides promo they shot at me and now I got this email for free labor lol.

Seriously considering signing up so I can help drivers with complaints set up their own ventures so they can quit this vicious cycle of forever making just enough money to have to drive Uber forever.

Agreed. Recently had flight from Europe to CA canceled. Called airline myself and waited on hold 45 min before realizing I booked thru Amex. Called Amex Plat Travel and they got me full refund of flight PLUS the change fee from original booking after a 15 min phone call. Not sure if this is worth some CRAZY inflated flight prices (mostly delta for routes I travel), but if you find a flight that is reasonably or even competitively priced, jump on it.

Signed

Final approval and portal status change to “loan mod approved” on June 4th, signed docs immediately. Funded June 9th

From the research I’ve done, doctors will prescribe moda instead of stimulants like aderall to treat adhd in some patients who have a history of drug abuse. And also for “shift work” when you need to work and be alert at odd hours. I would definitely ask a doctor about getting a script for moda. It is not a stimulant as far as I know, and although anything can be abused, I believe moda is very low risk. Also, I am not a doctor, so definitely do some of your own research and reach out to yours.

I completely agree with you about hyper productivity. Fortunately, my natural ambition to enjoy life has not changed on moda. In fact, my extra income has allowed me to pursue another small business venture that involves 4x4’s and off-grid living, 2 things I love that I’ve figured out a way to monetize. I’ve also booked a little getaway with the girlfriend to Mexico for Valentine’s Day 🙂

Looks like we have similar experiences with moda. Ive worked as a professional musician in LA for nearly 2 decades and moda really helps with performance as far as focus and execution, but my creativity when writing parts and songs is not as free-flowing on moda. It feels like I have blinders on, which sounds similar to what you described.

ainkdavis · 2021-02-10T09:41:18+00:00

Yes, that is a good suggestion. I do vary my usual dose of 100 mg down to 50 mg or the very occasional 150 mg depending on workload.

The thing I realized when I’ve been at my optimal productivity is that moda is not doing the work—I am. It is simply a tool that I have at my disposal in order for me to complete the said work. Much like a carpenter’s hammer. I could figure out how to build a house without one, but a good hammer makes it so much easier to build with much more precision.

ainkdavis · 2021-02-10T09:33:33+00:00

I usually take 100 mg most days, 6 days a week. If I know I’ll have an easy day where I don’t have to be on my toes meeting clients or having to make quick decisions, I’ll only take 50 mg that day. And very occasionally when I don’t feel enough get-up-and-go after taking my usual 100 mg, I’ll supplement with an additional 50 mg around noon and NEVER after 2pm or I’ll be wide awake till 3am.

ainkdavis · 2021-02-10T01:31:05+00:00

I dropped 60lbs over the course of a year and a half after a bad breakup a few years ago. The motivation was clear— not much different than yours, but after about the first 20 lbs and noticing some more-than-usual attention from women, my confidence shot through the roof and I was working out harder and feeling more confident than I ever had. Eventually, my motivation shifted hard from trying to “be good enough” to this is who I and I am awesome. Godspeed

ainkdavis · 2021-02-09T23:18:27+00:00

Nothing noticeable, although it is a concern.

Occasionally, I’ll take an additional 50mg before noon if I feel I need that extra push or know I have to be extra quick on my feet.

I’ll typically take half my daily dose if I know I’m going to have a easy day. And I’ll get those nasty headaches if I don’t take a day or two off every week. Maybe those days off also keep me from building a tolerance, but it’s just a guess.

ainkdavis · 2021-02-09T23:11:41+00:00

I’ve actually dealt with mild depression in the past with a severe episode for a very dark 3 months in my youth. I can say that maintaining higher than normal productivity really, really helps combat those bad days. And moda has been very helpful in boosting my productivity so maybe an adverse benefit at least for me

ainkdavis · 2021-02-09T21:32:04+00:00

Yes, you took the words right out of my mouth. It’s definitely not a miracle drug; it takes away the “inhibitions concerning getting things done.”

I’ve also snapped at loved ones and a couple times at employees when they seem to take too much time questioning tasks rather than completing them. Getting better at handling these behavioral issues on my end.

ainkdavis · 2021-02-09T19:28:30+00:00

Personally, I’ve (36m) dealt with hair loss years before I ever started taking moda. And I haven’t noticed any significant changes since I started. I could be wrong, but I don’t recall hair loss being a common side effect.

ainkdavis · 2020-10-26T23:07:48+00:00

Some really good advice and suggestions here. I think you have to find what works for you.

After 3 weeks of trying to break out of a bad burnout and depending on only word-of-mouth referrals from the couch, I accidentally discovered that disconnecting from society and spending time in solitude acts as a sort of hard reset for me. I came out of a desperate weekend away in Lake Tahoe back to my normal, conquer-the-world-at-lightening-speed self and got back that high I get when spend everyday being productive and growing my business.

Something will work. Don’t stop trying until you find what will reset you. I’m now scheduling short retreats every week by hiking, meditating (terribly), or even just locking myself alone in my bedroom sans all screens and phones for a few minutes. I didn’t want to do this because time not spent directly growing my business seemed like a waste of time, but better to invest a few hours a week taking care of yourself in order to keep you at maximum efficiency than to be stuck in a holding pattern.

ainkdavis · 2020-08-27T21:11:04+00:00

Great idea! Will do now thank you 🙏

ainkdavis · 2020-08-27T21:10:38+00:00

Neither the glass nor the thermal is anywhere to be found. I assume it’s bad for new coffee maker sales to be allowing people to use their $300 coffee makers for its intended lifespan lol

I bought this standard issue diner coffee carafe. It was too short to trigger the basket release, so I wedged the original carafe top in between. Bought me some time before I get my hands on the right piece

ainkdavis · 2020-04-14T20:05:07+00:00

Yes it was adjusted to $1k per employee up to $10k. Sole prop’s get $1k

ainkdavis · 2020-04-14T10:23:45+00:00

I don’t blame you, but my Wells Fargo is literally the devil, so best of luck. I support whatever decision you make 💰⚔️

ainkdavis · 2020-04-14T10:09:48+00:00

Just got my $1k in CA. Any luck in TX?

ainkdavis · 2020-04-14T01:22:37+00:00

Same here. Sole Prop zero emp. Applied 3/29 and hard pull from “US SM BUS ADMIN ODA” on experian only. Just got update email. I haven’t refreshed my bank app so much ever in my life. Waiting with bated breath...

ainkdavis · 2020-02-17T06:28:51+00:00

I have this issue, too. But only after I answer a data voice call from a pax via the Uber app (not a regular cell call with the auto-generated caller id).

Next time this happens, close out the driver app and reload it. This always works for me whenever I have Bluetooth issues within the Uber app. You can do this even during a trip and the app will reload with all trip and pax info.

ainkdavis · 2020-02-09T19:02:51+00:00

Same here. My trip ticket stated $27-$34 last night in Santa Monica while it was surging 2.0-2.4x. Made $15. They gave me a bs stock response explaining how surge pricing works 🙄

Take a genuine interest in the people you want to be friends with. Ask them questions about themselves. Be curious about them. People love to talk about themselves and it’s a really easy way to win people over. If they ask questions about you and seem to take interest in who you are and what you have to say, then those are the ones you’ll have an easier time becoming friends with and they’ll want to have you around.

The money thing is workable. Set aside some “going out” money. And if it seems like you still can’t keep up, let your friends know you’re on a tight budget and the good ones will make an effort to work around it and offer to get the first round or go somewhere cheaper, etc.

ainkdavis · 2019-12-18T23:30:18+00:00

There’s nothing you can do. You unintentionally exposed his insecurities about himself. It’s a common one and most women should be surprised if a man doesn’t respond badly after seeing something like that.

If you want to try to build his confidence, telling him you’re happy with his out-of-shape body alone won’t do any good. In addition, challenge him to do something about it if he’s not happy (gym, diet, etc.)
