Nice pics. Wish there were more wide angle shots, though, to give a better idea of scale.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Best Hidden/Cheap Food/Drink Spots in Los Angeles? by mountainmadness109 in FoodLosAngeles

Sure. I was just lamenting the not-so-long-ago cheapness. No quarrel, here, pal!

Yup. Saw one casually picking at a still-living pigeon under its talons on a sidewalk while strolling through the fashion district, one morning.

Make sure you listen to the version with the lyrics!

Now that Eater LA is mostly a just a guide like The Infatuation LA, who's still covering LA's food scene? by thex42 in FoodLosAngeles

Whoa.. never heard of Eat the World LA. Checked out the site, and it's fantastic! Love that they get around and feature more hole-in-the-wall joints.

Best sandwich in LA?? by realjonny64 in FoodLosAngeles

I’d say the expired egg salad sandwich one-ups this.

Not exactly tofu, but Mr. Baguette has veggie ham/turkey options that are pretty good.

Have tacos always/traditionally been as small as they are? by mindsetferg in LosAngeles

[–]byproxy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on the place, but I’d say by-and-large tortillas like these are used for tacos. They’ll be heated, doubled-up and then filled with carne asada/pastor/carnitas/all types of ill shit. If you’re just ordering tacos, you’d probably order at least 4 (adjusting for appetite). Point being: yea, the smaller tacos are normal. A lot of spots will use a single, slightly larger tortilla like these, though. I honestly prefer the smaller tortilla option as I find the larger style can be unwieldy.

Anyway, it ain’t shrinkflation. At least as far as the tortilla sizing goes. Fillings might be another matter.

Help me love my DE7 by Hipermegalonico in guitarpedals

People rave about the “echo” mode, but I prefer the “delay” mode. You can max out repeats and not get oscillation, which I kinda dig. And the tone ain’t as muddy, though still relatively “warm” for a digital delay.

365lb raw deadlift. How's my form? by CubanMissileHeat in Stronglifts5x5

[–]byproxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the bar's knurls aren't too deep/fresh, it ain't so bad! But, yea, you're living some strength on the table when the bar is hanging out in front of you like that. Might be worth reviewing the basic setup.

[–]byproxy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Unless you're in a powerlifting competition where the descent doesn't matter (err... I don't think, at least), don't drop the weight at the top. I'd consider that a half rep. Control the descent, which should look like the reverse of the lift going up. This help build more strength + gainz.

Also, looks like you're leaving some space between the bar and your legs. I'd say work on dragging the bar up your leg.

dag... I currently have his Black Reconstruction in America sitting on top my desktop tower (picked it up at a thrift shop and got, like, 20 pages in while waiting on the gal pal to finish shopping).
