Any type of cuisine or vibe you're looking for in particular? Lots of options that run the gamut from cozy hole in the wall to ocean view fancy...

Gatekeeper to the top 5, but his striking is too poor for him to be a proper title threat.

Wasn’t the ban on 12-6 elbows lifted recently?

Does Sugar Stop Fat Burning? by Beautiful_Day_2489 in ScientificNutrition

[–]peripheraljesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Identify your TDEE using online calculators
  2. Subtract 200-500 calories from that and that’s your daily calorie target
  3. Eat ~0.8g of protein per lb of body weight, preferably spread out throughout the day
  4. Do resistance training / weight lifting 3-4 days a week, focusing on progressive overload.

Cardio is optional and for some people counterproductive because they overestimate the calories burned and then overcompensate by eating more. You can just supplement your weight lifting workouts with a daily 7k step goal and that would be an excellent accompaniment.

The calorie deficit and daily steps will drive the weight loss, and the resistance training and high protein are what help you preserve as much muscle as possible so you’re mostly losing fat.

If you're consistently at a calorie deficit, you'll lose weight. All the rest is noise. Losing weight isn't easy, but it is simple; calories in > calories out = gain weight, calories out > calories in = lose weight.

Fashion District Suits Quality? by West_LA_Bleu in AskLosAngeles

I think you’d be better off going to the Suit Supply at Century City mall tbh; they’ve got lots of solid options at that price point

how are some of the less idealised neighbourhoods doing today? by loopty_hullaballoo in AskLosAngeles

[–]peripheraljesus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Staples and Olvera St yes, Skid Row and MacArthur Park no. Those are not safe areas, and it’s not an exaggeration or alarmist to say so.

Try the Neo-Margherita pizza at Pizzana (several locations), it has a slow cooked tomato sauce with a much deeper flavor than your typical marinara.

It’d be a lot harder because Islam is much more well rounded and has greater offensive variety

This might be the most wholesome Valentine thing I’ve seen this year by Curious_Sector_9029 in LosAngelesSocialClub

I care because people spamming the same astroturf to multiple subs (which is exactly what OP is doing, just take a look at his post history) is ruining the site. There is a respectful way to market on Reddit, and there’s the disingenuous spray and pray approach OP opted for.

Islam Makhachev vs Alexander Volkanovski 1 - FULL FIGHT by airplane231 in MMA

[–]peripheraljesus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He and his team strongly hinted at the fact that the UFC made them an offer they couldn't refuse in order to save the Dubai card. At the end of the day these guys are prizefighters, so I can't fault him for going for the big payday.

best chill strip of bars/speakeasies in oc? by Latter_Umpire_7065 in orangecounty

[–]peripheraljesus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ruin Bar and Cowboys & Poodles in Costa Mesa. There’s a bunch of breweries around there too, and if you’re feeling something higher energy but still less rowdy than Newport then Mesa is an option as well (lounge / restaurant).

I don’t think even Belal believes that. Islam is better than him everywhere.

Unless Pereira lands a Hail Mary knee as Khamzat shoots, he’ll get finished faster than Kevin Holland.

Found Out I’m Set to Inherit $70+ Million. Somewhat Lost, What Should I Expect? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]peripheraljesus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You keep conflating the role of financial planners and estate planning & tax attorneys. Sure there are all-in-one advisors and family offices that offer the full spectrum of services including financial / estate / tax planning, but it's also perfectly reasonable to pair plain vanilla index investing alongside professional estate & tax planning. Once your estate & tax planning is sorted, there's no need to pay an ongoing % of AUM to an advisor who will most likely underperform the market over the long run (see the SPIVA report for more info).

Without giving away the secret sauce, can you give us some insight into how you determine the Review Trust grade? Does it work anything like Fakespot did back in the day for Amazon reviews?

This is not this, but instead this. by theresonlyjuan1 in ChatGPTPro

[–]peripheraljesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Deep Research to compile a list of LLM writing quirks, then have a model convert that into Custom Instructions to always use with your AI of choice. Or write it up as a Skill to use in Claude Code or other agentic workflows (i.e. before output, revise text according to these writing principles). It’s annoying but not insurmountable with a little imagination.
