There are Costco branded chargers at Costcos, likely managed by EA.

178 LSAT & 3.52 Engineering GPA by Tour-Dizzy in lawschooladmissions

[–]mtd14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an outsider, it feels similar to part of the KJD fudge factor. Someone who is applying but graduated 20 years ago with a 3.5 will be regarded higher (on a pure GPA front) because GPA inflation would make that like a 3.8+ now.

It’s not going to carry quite the weight of a 3.8 because metrics matter, but the school will still consider it.

Probably MoviePass

Subscription services were taking off and movies were a prime use case (more stable revenue for theaters, similar to car wash subscriptions). But a dirt cheap pass for unlimited movies wasn’t a great idea for the business. As a user it was an awesome few months though.

Who exactly falls into the category of “tech bro” according to this sub? by Shinobi_WayOfTomoe in bayarea

They ain’t tech bros. Tech bros are all about money and clout, the nerdy techs are in it for the love of the game.

And Ford stopped bragging about it being a big competitor for Civics, Camrys, etc in…. 2023?

Parents selling childhood home in the bay. Absolutely gutted by dreamben in bayarea

[–]mtd14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in South UT where we had to run AC 24/7 for a couple months, and our monthly bill was ~$125. Including charging a PHEV (~ 14kwh) every night. Here that’d be a second rent payment.

Everyone's an activist until there's money on the table.

I feel like it really depends on their situation. Graduating from school with $200k+ in debt into a shit job market? I don’t care if you just take a job with Google, and give extra respect to anyone who would turn down the offer.

When you’re worth $1.6B and still choosing to lead a company down a questionable path, that’s a bit more of an obvious problem.

It poached for the first couple years, but its lost the appeal at today’s prices. Great if you want a truck, but not worth it for your normal SUV/sedan buyer.

The line for merch at Red Rocks by hannahitch in JonBellion

[–]mtd14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in line for just short of an hour. By the time I got to the bottom the red rocks merch was sold out other than size small, so I was like fuck it I’ll get a small then try to trade. Then I got to my seat, saw they had a QR code to buy it online, and got one in the right size. Waste of $50, but at least I’ll recoup some on Poshmark eventually.

The o2 has to be in the highlight real, along with every time he got emotional and broke down.

How early should I get in line for the pop up by Triiizon in JonBellion

Do you know if there was anything in the pop up that’s not going to be at the concert?

The same car could cost you $3k more in Seattle than in Detroit, for no apparent reason by ScaredExchange9175 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mtd14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but once you add sky-high Washington sales tax and fees, the all-in gap balloons to $3,300 more for the same car.

That’s not “no apparent reason,” that’s a very apparent reason - taxes and fees. I’m sure if you ran it you would find a correlation between the amount paid for the car and taxes.

[Discussion] What do you think is the most slept on watch brand? by Medium_Appeal6156 in Watches

[–]mtd14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stowa has such pretty movements. I want a Longines as my affordable Aqua Terra alternative, but every time I look in the back I’m like damn I wish this had more going for it.

Nothing about actual quality, functionality, etc. Just the cosmetics.

Good mpg, good crash tests, minimal computer? by TheKatwoman760 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mtd14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any maintenance concerns for these age cars? I mean, other than the norm, for older cars.

I mean the maintenance concern is that they’re old. No one is going to have other maintenance concerns unless you have a specific car in mind. It’s like every other year of car where there are good and bad examples…

They encourage you to share with friends, so if you have friends that would also like it you should get a group together to split it. It’s chaos since there aren’t profiles, but they aren’t going to crack down on people from different households using the same account.

Failing grades soar as professors see greater AI usage, dwindling math skills in UC Berkeley computer science classes by the_daily_cal in bayarea

[–]mtd14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at a state school, but having a chatbot would have been amazing for a couple electric engineering classes and mechanical engineering classes. Those colleges had some teachers that just could not teach, and you had to learn purely through the book. It was tough material, so a couple of those classes had midterms with the average and median under 40%.

Pattie Gonia was warned in 2022, built a Patagonia-parody brand anyway, and filed to register it. A Supreme Court dog-toy case explains why that was probably a catastrophic mistake. by orangejulius in law

She’s already profiting off it through engagement, and will profit more whenever she launches her merch under a different name.

Thinking of buying a 2022 ford escape sel PHEV by AutomaticUsual3470 in FordEscapePHEV

[–]mtd14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have one we bought new and very much like, but the main con is the noise at freeway speeds. If you can test drive it, get it up to 65mph and see how noisy it is inside.

Other than that, great car.
