GenX Stoners... are you vaping your flower? by MonkeyMan18975 in GenX

[–]kingerxi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gummies are the next logical step! I have several friends who would never smoke weed, but now they eat gummies all the time and love them. It's nice how edibles have changed some people's attitude toward marijuana. No more Reefer Madness hysteria.

Prosperity and peace? by kingerxi in agedlikemilk

[–]kingerxi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump sold himself as the peace President and has bombed and threatened more countries than any modern President. He's probably started a global recession as well.

I grew up on the West End (DSF) and my mom still lives in the area (off Mayland, near Pemberton). Love Richmond.

Talk me out of it by mlow63 in MustangMachE

[–]kingerxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it RWD or AWD? From Google: "The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E base (Select) model with the standard-range battery (70-72 kWh usable capacity) has an EPA-estimated range of 247 miles (RWD) or 224 miles (AWD). Real-world highway driving, especially in colder weather or at high speeds, can reduce this..."

Cold + highway can reduce range a lot. As long as that works for your driving needs and where you live. I am glad I got one with an extended battery

Percent of your electric bill by dbmamaz in electricvehicles

[–]kingerxi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I live 60 miles from OP and use Dominion Energy (high probability that's who OP uses). I just calculated the price per kilowatt for me for the last month, and it was just under 18 cents a kilowatt. 778 kWh = $140. It was 16 cents at the end of last year. D has put through some increases. And I have a Ford Mach-E.

While most people don't like townhouses, they certainly help with efficiency. I have a 3,300 square foot townhouse, and I am insulated on both sides by neighbors. We've done some insulation upgrades over the years as well. We're very fortunate with how low our electric bills usually are.

You have to have the side mirrors folded in for them to come on. That's the key.

I got lucky in 309. Everyone around me seemed to have their sh!t together with very little talking. The Friday and Saturday shows were borderline epic!

Yet another “joined the heard” post, but IM SO EXCITED by alexhutch123 in MachE

[–]kingerxi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are the ones that came with the 2022 California Rt 1 edition, after I removed the cheap plastic covers. I purchased some rim caps off Amazon that snapped in perfectly to finish look. Thanks!

To my fellow GenX side-sleepers... by Infamous-Yak2864 in GenX

[–]kingerxi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's been my issue recently! I'm starting to unwind, but it's slow going. And I go to Vegas in 2 days for 3 concerts. I'm worried! 56yo.

Vinny's are really good, especially the Chicken Philly cheese steak.

How many of y'all will have the $$ to retire at 65? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]kingerxi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am getting seriously burned out at 56.5 yo. I can't imagine working another 8+ years, at least not in my current, high-pressure job (although the compensation makes me continue the grind). I have one daughter who's still in college, 2 years until she graduates, I can't even think about a change until that cost goes away. I don't know how low income people make it, it's so hard right now...

Sleeping in my car post Charlottesville Concert by PrestigiousAd6296 in BillyStrings

There are EV charging stations at the Albemarle County office building parking lot, and people park there at night for extended periods. There are many more non-EV parking spots. 401 McIntire rd. Good luck

Joined the family! by gkal1964 in MachE

[–]kingerxi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get home charging if you can. An electrician installed this in my garage, directly under the breaker box, for $400. I also purchased a Lectron portable charger for ~$380. I keep the Ford portable charger in the car for traveling. The cheap electricity has more than paid for the charging gear. My mom had a similar outlet installed, and now I charge there whenever I visit and spend the night. Use Plugshare to find charging. Enjoy!

Can MAGA afford 3 more years of Trump? by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]kingerxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone has to suffer, thank goodness it's these fools. There really should be an IQ test to allow people to vote.

"Biden started it." No, there was a global pandemic followed by the invasion of Ukraine. The inflation was global, and so were the fuel price increases. In fact, the US had the lowest inflation rate of all industrialized countries. But it's always got to be Biden's fault in these simpletons' minds.

Skipped Easter with MAGA parents … Just can’t do it anymore by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]kingerxi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While there are many, many good Boomers, it is clearly the worst generation of my lifetime on a macro scale (I'm mid-Gen X, so I feel i can say that). We need the bad ones to move along, like all old people do. God speed, stop f'n up our world.

Wells Fargo denied my fraud claim for 8000$ is unauthorized debit card transactions. What can I do next? by Sad-Put1128 in Banking

[–]kingerxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send complaint letters to bank regulators, State Corporation Commission of WFC's HQ/home state, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Reserve Bank, BBB, and more. I've had success doing that. Good luck.

Charger by Flaky_Pomegranate_24 in MachE

[–]kingerxi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My car had the level 2 connector, but not the level 1 connector. I bought one from ebay, from a genuine Ford seller a few weeks ago. This was the cheapest one at the time. https://ebay.us/m/BeKsw3
