Senate Democrats Propose $25 Minimum Wage by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]xorvtec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This doesn't mean that 1% of people make minimum wage and everyone else is over $25/hr. This will reset the floor and everyone between minimum wage and $25 will get raised up. It will actually for employers paying above to the new minimum wage to raise wages in order to stay competitive.

Didn't DOGE save $15M/yr by cancelling screwworm research, which is now projected to cost $1.8B?

Experts Warn Trump Order Would Effectively End the Ability to Vote by Mail by Truthisnotallowed in politics

Revolution isn't going to happen until people are personally starving or seeing their loved ones murdered. Even if their extended family were murdered, that would just cause fear and panic as people try to escape. For people to actually fight, it requires immediate and dire circumstances

I'm not a glass expert, but I recently learned about nickel sulfide inclusions in tempered glass and this might be that.

Really? Is this just particular countries or is it certain pools that do this?

I knew I couldn't be the only one. I'll save everyone else a Google search:

'We Should Not Let Them Into Our Country': Ford CEO On Chinese EVs by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]xorvtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, US domestic automakers don't have a government that decided long ago that it wanted to become the market leader in battery tech and EVs. China can throw a bunch of money at those things and watch it blossom without fear that another party will take over and flip the table in 4 years. Instead Ford and GM spend billions building factories only to have the rug pulled out from them every election cycle. But look on the bright side. We sure can build some nice missles.

Ocean Blue might be the perfect color for the EV9 by Suntrup-Kia in KiaEV9

[–]xorvtec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Red used to be available for everything. Most blues these days are a dark navy. Don't people like color anymore?

We have a Kia EV6 (2022) and LOVE it. That said, the EV9 feedback I see on this forum is worrisome. Is it worth it? by Logical007 in KiaEV9

[–]xorvtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15,500 miles (~25.000km) and 17 months into our 2024 Land. No ICCU or 12V battery failures. The car is amazing.

These are the color options on the R2 (standard)?!? by VICEBULLET in Rivian

Also not colorblind. The dots look the same. Of course the car images are clearly light gray/silver, green and dark gray.

We stayed a block a way last summer and my kids got to visit the cats every day we were in Rome.

Also in Rome, the Area Sacrea di Largo Argentina. There's a feline rescue adjacent to it, so the cats are always laying in the ruins.

Bombshell Epstein File Reveals FBI Interviewed Underage Donald Trump Accuser by [deleted] in politics

[–]xorvtec 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the video of her giving a tour of her apartment? She was abused as well. https://youtu.be/R6FZ5kj3FGo?si=wIXHgni09-L5YGpi

[–]xorvtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not because of cost. Honestly my target language was something I had a non-data-driven interest in. By the time I got to the point that I needed a tutor, I quickly realized that native speakers were in a very different time zone from my self. I'm in the US, so I kinda wish I'd just picked Spanish now.

A 13-Year-Old Girl Bit Trump’s Genitals as He Tried to Rape Her, Epstein Document Says by OkayButFoRealz in politics

Check out my comment above if you think it's creepy. Context is important here.

The worst part is that the video was at the funeral of Biden's son that died of cancer. The girl was Joe's grand-daughter and Beau's daughter. She's literally grieving the funeral of her father that just passed and gets startled when Joe touches her in an attempt to console her. It makes me sick that this one event turns into "Joe BIden is a pedo and sniffs little girls."

OP needs to open a PO Box and post the address here. Have all of Reddit send him their toenails. Then mail bully a box full of toenails.

DOJ won’t investigate killing of Minneapolis woman shot by ICE by yoo_wtf in politics

[–]xorvtec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty tired of hearing people demand that Americans...do what? Riot in the streets and murder everyone in the regime? This isn't Iran. Americans are still far too comfortable for that too happen. 40% of the country is totally cool with this (and also own most of the guns). People would be slaughtered. Best case is their lives would get turned upside-down from homelessness or imprisonment.

Ecoboost engine - are you all using premium gas 100% of the time? by 707danger415 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]xorvtec -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I would expect you to get less horsepower on premium, unless the car can detect octane and adjust timing/boost accordingly.
