What about Primatene Mist inhaler? Available OTC, 0.125 mg of epinephrine per spray.
I have a glass top stove and a cast iron pan. Just don't slide the pan around on top of the stove and you'll be fine.

As for cleaning, we use a chainmail scrubber and water to clean off the bits that stick.

Remora (YC W21) | Mechanic | Livonia, MI | Full or Part-Time | ONSITE | https://www.remoracarbon.com/jobs

Help us build carbon capture for semi trucks!

Remora is an early-stage climate tech startup backed by Chris Sacca and Y Combinator. We’re building a device that captures the carbon emissions from a semi-truck. We sell the captured carbon dioxide to concrete producers and other end-users, helping companies earn new revenue while meeting their climate commitments. Our founders include a former EPA scientist who pioneered mobile carbon capture during her PhD and a former diesel mechanic turned engineer who built electric semi-trucks for some of the world’s largest automotive companies.

We're looking for a Mechanic who is interested in working on climate change. You'll work with our engineering team to create new designs, diagnose and repair electronic diesel engines and diesel after treatment systems, build wiring harnesses, do some engine dynamometer testing, and perhaps some welding. We'd especially love to talk with you if you've custom-built your own projects.

Everyone on the team earns the same exact salary ($80K!) and everyone owns significant equity. Apply now at https://www.remoracarbon.com/jobs and mention that you found us on Hacker News.

Lopez is up for recall, along with Collins and Moliga.

Is it Act One from the episode called Neighborhood Watch?

The only salesperson that sticks out in my memory as being truly helpful worked in a store that sold sunglasses. I had been standing there for a few minutes trying on different pairs of aviator style sunglasses when she spotted me, stared at my face for a couple seconds, went and grabbed a pair out of a case, and asked me to try them on.

They looked awesome.

They cost more than I had planned on spending, but I bought them. No pressure from the salesperson.
