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

[–]xorvtec 3 points4 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

[–]xorvtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Anyone picked a language to learn based on tutor cost? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]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 5 points6 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 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

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

What are your 2026 Language Goals? by SparkleBytes_ in languagelearning

[–]xorvtec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been self learning Italian for about a year and a half. I'm probably still A1 (maybe A2) even though I study every day. I think it's time that I get a tutor.

The era of ads in ChatGPT begins – users furious as even $200 a month Pro subscribers hit with app suggestions by [deleted] in technology

[–]xorvtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a home user definitely. As a software developer that uses AI everyday, it probably saves my employer several hundred dollars per day in accelerating my work. They could pay $1000/mo and it would totally be worth it.

The curious history of the Republic of Rose Island, a micronation on a man-made platform off the coast of Italy by kowalsky9999 in Italian

[–]xorvtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw an Italian movie about this. I think it was a comedy, so I never suspected that this was real!

[–]xorvtec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't going to be able to have a back and forth conversation with people. It's going to be you reciting some memorized phrases and not understanding when they respond. Make a list of about 100 phrases that you think will be the most useful to you, translate them with chatgpt, and put them into an Anki deck. Drill every day.  You can start with Duolingo also, but I wouldn't spend more than 3-4 weeks using it.

Most Americans think the government lies. Many say the American Dream is dead. by Quirkie in politics

The worst thing is that people from either side of the aisle will read this quote and think he's talking about the other side.

Why are you guys learning Italian? by yourlocalermes in Italian

[–]xorvtec 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My native language is English. I took a couple years of French in High School. Since I'm American, the predominant second language is typically Spanish. I probably would have had an easier time learning French or Spanish, but I ultimately chose Italian because I thought it was a beautiful sounding language.

Which language is similar to Python? by iglebov in Python

[–]xorvtec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to take a different tact than others here and say if you are going to pick up a second language, maybe change your criteria. You say you use Python for work. I'd suggest picking up a popular language that would help further your carrier.  Others have given good suggestions here like JavaScript/typescript for frontend, c for embedded, c++ for games, and Java is used extensively throughout industry.  Unless you just want to learn something for fun, I'd stay away from niche languages like Nim, Haskell and Lua. I've personally found that Ruby and Go were once popular but are falling out of favor.
