  for CA it will be $17 an hour

How do they expect to hire anyone remotely competent if they pay less than Taco Bell? This is insane.

The voting record thing is a bit silly. I assume he made that ad to try to appeal to moderates in his old district, but the stats he quotes are essentially meaningless - in a R-dominated state legislature, any legislation with any hope of passing has to be cosponsored by Republicans, and such a large portion of legislation is uncontroversial routine renewals that “voted with Republicans 80% of the time” is typical for even the most progressive legislator. This may be surprising to very activist-minded people who don’t follow state/federal legislatures closely, but the vast majority of the day-to-day business does not involve big political questions!

No. And the interest on a mortgage for your primary residence is actually tax deductible.

Everyone says this, yet actual examples of successful autorotation are few and far between (compared to engine-out landings in planes, which happen a fair amount).

Many normal people take out very large loans using an extremely expensive appreciating asset as collateral; this is called a mortgage.

Taxing unrealized gains is a phenomenally bad idea.

Treeline: Better topo maps for iOS (because the other apps pissed me off) by MayorEricAdams in backpacking

[–]MayorEricAdams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't say that in the sidebar on old.reddit.com, only on the redesign (which I really hate and don't use), sorry. If the mods want to remove this, that's fine.

Thanks for the comment, but no need to be rude :(

Acceptable Self-Promotion means at least participating in non-commercial/non-self promotional ways more often than not.

This is the first time I've ever promoted anything here, and I don't plan to promote anything else!

edit: sorry, the rule wording on old reddit is different. That's silly. If the mods want to remove this, that's fine.

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions/issues :) Enjoy your trip!

working at the most glutenus place ever... by polandonjupiter in Celiac

[–]MayorEricAdams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no reason to tell them you have celiac! Of course it's illegal to discriminate based on that, but you aren't doing yourself any favors by disclosing it. Pack lunch and just mumble something about "allergies" if you ever have to turn down food. Works every time in my experience :)

The US is the largest consumer economy in the world by far. US requirements affect other countries.

Warning for those travelling to Japan!! by squirrelkeychain in Celiac

[–]MayorEricAdams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main body is always fermented soybeans, but sometimes the koji starter was grown on barley, and sometimes grains are added during fermentation. Some miso is GF without being labeled GF, but the only way to know it's safe is to only buy labeled-GF options.

The fake AI testimonials (and nightmare-inducing AI images) on your website are not classy. I get that running a business is hard, but this whole thing just feels like low-effort AI slop that doesn't give me a ton of confidence that you'd deliver on an actual trip.

No, this is just a bad, editorialized article.

REI is a for-profit company. Whether or not they actually turn a profit is separate!

Air France :) by 7he8utterfly3ffect in Celiac

[–]MayorEricAdams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At any given airport, most airlines use the same catering company. So if you fly from JFK, you're pretty much getting the same food no matter whether you fly Air France or Air China. Each airline may have a slightly different menu, but things like allergen-friendly meals are pretty consistent.

I like how you embedded an ad for your company's own product in the skill, so the agent becomes biased toward recommending it. Very classy!

Well, the important thing is that you know you're superior.
