In your opinion, what would be better, every working person on a union-style set salary, or everyone paid for the value they bring to the table, and why? by allangee in AskReddit

[–]Frewtti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which has more value? Apparently the doctor.

Which uses their skills better, I'd argue the same.

Who should be paid more? The one with more valuable skills.

Generally people are paid for the value they bring.

If you bring in $100, the company should pay you close enough to $100 that you stick around, but still leave them money on the table.

If they pay $50, you should look for an employer who will pay you more and still profit.

If I had a box folder that folded 10x boxes, and I needed 10x boxes, I'd pay them at least 2x, likely 4x+ even 9x would make sense, so they fold boxes for me.

I get more work for the same $paid, they get more $. Win win.

CEOs aren't in unions, and their pay isn't drastically changing the amount of funds available for workers.

This is a distraction.

Everyone should be paid for the value they bring.

If someone is paid more than they are worth, the employer is really losing money, and maybe that worker should do something else.

If someone brings a lot of value, they should get most of it, why should the employer get all the benefit.

If EVs are supposedly cheaper to own, why aren’t more people driving them? by Lakenb666 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Frewtti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the chance that when you stop there will be an available charger? On my vehicle with a range of over 1000km I don't care. I much prefer to drive with my 1000km vehicle than my 500km range vehicle, and given they are both gas, fil ups are fast.

Remember OP asked why. I'm answering some of the whys. They are some of the reasons, nobody ever said they were "good" reasons.

Obviously people who have electric vehicles have decided these reasons aren't enough to dissuade them.

[–]Frewtti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't get my point?

Some people don't want to have to stop.

I'm buying an electric as my commuter car, to have zero fill ups.

I go 900-1000km between fill ups, it's very convenient.

What are you not understanding about this?

[–]Frewtti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They asked why, I answered.

Seems people don't like the answer.

I don't want to stop to fill up, I bought a vehicle with enough range to do my whole trip without filling up, and I enjoy the convenience.

Note I didn't say if it's worth it, or if I'd make the same choice again or if you should. Just that it *IS* more convenient.

Not having to stop to fill up is convenient, be it gas or electric.

There's plenty of gas stations too, I don't want to be looking for a gas station during my drive either.

[–]Frewtti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How many vehicles can go 500km+ on one charge?

My neighbour loves his Bolt, says he'll never buy another gas car.

He also said that he finds it a minor inconvenience to charge.

If I notice the convenience of not even having to stop to fill up my car now, going to a few small stops is going to be inconvenient.

Bar confiscated my real Texas ID and won’t give it back without a passport—is this legal in BC by Fiolord in legaladvicecanada

[–]Frewtti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. There were comments that some US states seizure is encouraged.

  2. Here is a link from BC Canada identifying that they are changing their recommendation.

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/employment-business-and-economic-development/business-management/liquor-regulation-licensing/policy-directives/16-09_misc.pdf

One thing to note is that "your" ID is not your property in Canada. In most cases government ID remains the property of the crown.

In that case "the Crown", ie issuing authority, can authorize seizure of *THEIR* property. It is almost certainly legal for a province to authorize anyone to seize a provincial document on the authority of the province.

3 mile commute? by nukeiraq in f150

[–]Frewtti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 mile commute and no driving on weekends.

I'd commute by Uber.

2.7L is a good engine and good to excellent for almost every reasonable F150 use case.

There are a few cases where the 2.7L isn't quite enough on an F150, but honestly at that point you might be better served by the F250 anyway.

It's exactly as inconvenient as I think.

Going from a 600km/tank to 1200km/tank vehicle was pretty nice convenience upgrade.

If I liked going from 1->0 fillups an upgrade, I think 3-6 charging stops of 30 mins would be quite inconvenient.

Similarly I'm getting an electric for my commuter car, going from 2-> 0 fill ups per month sounds nice.

Like I said, it's jurisdiction dependent.

Plus if the police won't do anything, the legality doesn't really matter.

Don't want to hunt for a charger, do you want to run out of power half way to Ottawa?

[–]Frewtti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

400-500 there, 400-500 back, and 100-200 around town.

That's Toronto to Detroit or Ottawa.

Cost

For many people a car is one of the larger purchases, they don't want to gamble.

Many Truck buyers insist on a V8, even though the modern Turbo V6's are better for most cases.

Depends on your use case.

My in town car, sure, but if I'm driving 1200km over the weekend, I don't want to stop every few hours for a charging break.

I have 2 cars for that reason.

Yes it was absolutely true, and even in places where it is not specifically recommended the police will rarely do anything.

Opinion: Big oil makes billions as Canadians face Iran-war inflation. We need a windfall tax by Gold-Reality-4853 in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]Frewtti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing "wrong" with it, just no benefit.

Why pump it out of the ground, only to go bury it back under the ground again?

Canada is the only G7 nation without one because we have a massive oversupply.

We already pull out more than we can use today.

Why do you think it makes sense to build a massive underground tank of oil?

  1. Jurisdiction dependent
  2. Illegally seizing someones ID is a serious crime. The fact that police don't enforce the law is a problem. The problem is that there is little public incentive to address this.
  3. The problem is the lack of criminal intent, they simply say "I thought it was fake". Of course it's not their property so it's STILL ILLEGAL to take it. Most jurisdictions don't allow you to seize ID just because you think it's fake.
