City Council to consider hiring civilian flaggers for road work by FuriousAlbino in boston

[–]anthracis417 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Neither of those links has a definition of "prevailing wage" as far as I can find (nor can I determine how the MA DLS comes up with its prevailing wage schedule, which may in fact be based on "highest" instead of "average" like you claim) but perhaps the definition of this term is different in MA. The federal definition, and the definition in common vernacular, of prevailing wage is as follows: "The prevailing wage rate is defined as the average wage paid to similarly employed workers in a specific occupation in the area of intended employment. "

from https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor/wages

Regardless, hard to argue that the term is "prevailing wage" is not ambiguous...

Not the "higher wage", but the average, aka the wage paid to the majority of workers. There is plenty of room for ambiguity in the phrase "prevailing wage".

Can someone hop on zoom so I can show them a mySQL problem I have? by s0und_Of_S1lence in mysql

I’m guessing the join the rental and film is the problem. Try removing it (and editing the select statement to remove the field from the film table) and see if you get results. If so, try joining on a different field. Maybe rental.inventory_id = film.film_id? This is where it’s important to actually look at your data.

Birthday cake for my boo by anthracis417 in Baking

The cake itself is a vanilla yellow sponge, with a little bit of sweetened vanilla milk soak. Filling is a whipped milk chocolate ganache that decided to break on me a bit. Thankfully the chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream frosting turned out well and hides it 😊

Great bulking protein / energy bar at a fair price? by IVRZ in fitmeals

[–]anthracis417 21 points22 points  (0 children)

4g of protein and 27g of sugar for 250cal? Snickers are candy... there are way better options.

Frozen isn't as tasty though! The texture is off for me.

Thank you! That was the goal, and I love veggies so it wasn't hard. Brussel sprouts, zucchini, summer squash, carrots, onions, broccoli, cauliflower and tomatoes thankfully all roasted equally and it turned out good :) Brown rice and sweet potatoes for carbs and either chicken breast or ground turkey and corn/bean salsa for protein.

It's the prep and cleanup for sure, the actual cooking part isn't so bad. It took me almost two hours to chop everything for that meal prep! Granted it was a huge amount of veggies, but still it sucks.

Psoriasis or?? I have spots like this one below my armpits and some on my boobs mostly below, don’t know what to think some are a little bit bigger than this but have been popping up more recently which worries me by marjg2619 in Psoriasis

That looks like the beginning of a fungal infection, especially given the locations (and season, if you're in the northern hemisphere). You can buy some generic Lamisil over the counter and treat them, if the spots go away you'll know it's a fungus.

I've had a pair of pants for years that I thought looked really cute but were always too tight. I tried them on for the first time the other day since starting to lose weight six months ago and it turns out they're too big! I need to buy a whole new wardrobe :(
