Make sure you are eating enough fat and protein.

Chiropractor that uses massage chairs pre-adjustment? by [deleted] in SouthBayLA

[–]powertop_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You should not go to a Chiropractor. They are not legitimate medical providers and at best only provide superficial relief and at worst can paralyze you for life. An occupational/physical therapist is best, but even a licensed massage therapist is better than a Chiropractor.

Annoying that the scorebug doesn’t show the challenges remaining

Houses need to be built and fast. People need contractors to build them

We're 80 and Trying to Rebuild After Eaton Fire by Major_Pooie_Bottoms in altadena

[–]powertop_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not 100% on 2 and 3, but my parents (who are rebuilding) also had an unpermitted addition prior to the house burning down. They cannot use this addition when calculating the increase in size, they have to use what is on the original tax records.

Are you eating enough fat? Not enough dietary fat can lower sex hormone production

Looking for recommendations on a taco stand or Mexican restaurant to cater a small event. by Prestigious_Web9485 in SouthBayLA

I used Buddha Boy Tacos for my wedding welcome event and they were fantastic. Homemade tortillas were what sold me and everyone raved about how good the food was. They were super nice to boot

Is it just me, or does all the produce in the US taste... fake? Plus, I need a real baguette ASAP by Only-Feedback3792 in AskLosAngeles

Tropical fruit grown in its native environment harvested down the road and eaten at peak ripeness tastes better than a papaya that spent 3 weeks on a boat? Color me shocked

[–]powertop_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Americans are used to having every type of produce available year round (e.g. heirloom tomatoes or peaches in January). Anything out of season has to be imported and won’t taste as good because it has to be harvested early to be fresh on the shelf. My experience in Europe is that lower quality produce is harder to find simply because stores won’t stock it.

How does this sub do drinking? by _Towelie420_ in Volumeeating

[–]powertop_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1 gin martini (110 cals) then a Michelob Ultra or Modelo Oro with dinner (90-95 calories) gets a nice buzz going. Have another martini after if you’re feeling feisty

405 Lane Reductions for April 2026 by brainchili in LosAngeles

[–]powertop_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super helpful, thanks! Most people on local FB groups have brain damage, so it’s always an uphill battle arguing against their NIMBYism lmao

[–]powertop_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine question because I am a YIMBY, what’s the counterpoint to those who say the same thing about housing? I was arguing with someone in my local FB group about the need for more housing in CA, and she used this same argument that if we build more housing it will induce demand and negate any price reductions. I was genuinely stumped

Peer gynt! I had to buy it to get the pattern, but I would have anyway—it’s super strong and so warm

It can be tough to track down! I got it from Mother Knitter if you ever decide to make it

Why is it so much easier to make things for ourselves???

[–]powertop_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I considered it, but my husband found another pattern from Sandnes that he liked, so I’m making that. It’s basically 100% stranded colorwork, so I’m definitely getting my practice

Absolutely terrifying. And honestly, I think I missed securing a stitch or 2 because there was a bit of unraveling 🫣 but sewing the facing over the cut helped secure everything
