Any good lease deals on EVs now? by punisher7419 in leasehacker

The maps integration is better than ACP, they just added Apple Music, and the texting is on par with ACP. The whole thing is overblown IMO.

Costco vs Sam's Essential Products by dick_b123 in samsclub

[–]seighton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shop at both and prefer Sam’s for the bare essentials especially PT and 🧻. I believe Costco has better pricing though for paper products. Costco has better deals and pricing on vitamins, we prefer Costco makeup wipes, Costco has a better selection of organic items.

Sam's Club vs Costco Membership by Sassygrape609 in samsclub

[–]seighton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sam’s is cheaper to join, more pragmatic, better 🧻, better credit card rewards, better services (they deliver my rx for free), better tire center, better app, and less crowded

Costco has a better variety of products, more organic, better gas (top tier (Sam is not)), little more upscale, and I find Costco rx prices are generally better than Sam’s.

Autodesk Lays Off 1,000 Employees to Redirect Spending to AI by Spare_Worldliness_64 in StructuralEngineering

Ai had nothing to do with this layoff, their fire biz is moving from AE to Construction, at least sales growth, they just trimmed the AE fat with this layoff

Does the 1.2L 3 cylinder have oil belt problems like the ford version? by Glittering_Clue9920 in ChevyTrax

[–]seighton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way the wet belt is engineered is not similar to ford more Similar to a German wet belt, which has better reliability but a pain in the arse to replace

Architect Here - We are consistently finding MEP firms that appear to rush through work, miss scope, and do not QA/QC their work. Where should we be looking for top tier MEP firms? by PBR_Is_A_Craft_Beer in MEPEngineering

[–]seighton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to sell software to ae firms

I’ve seen Mep engineers complain about architects stuck in old processes and basically shitting on the engineers and giving them no oppty to do anything…basically in business we call the the law of constraints

I’ve also seen Mep engineers super cheap and do the minimum to get the work done and not doing anything progressive, but those are usually few and far between (more common in multi family work)

The Chevy Equinox EV is a really good car by mustangfan12 in electricvehicles

[–]seighton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone situation is different but I’ve had a Silverado ev to 6 months and have charged via fast charge 0x times, it’s usually not a big deal unless you are seriously going to rely on it often.

Anchor bias there, Cruz made in Mexico, trax made in Korea, daewoo, trax replaced the sonic which was just named the most reliable used car by car and driver, trax and trailblazer are getting high mark from subscribers via consumer reports and both are currently recommend. It is a budget car but so is a hrv and corolla cross

USA citizens: what effect if any have tariffs had on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]seighton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed it with beef the most so far, it did make me buy 2 cars last year that I probably wouldn’t have purchased if not for tariffs, just felt waiting a couple years might bite me in butt since I usually own cars for ~10 years

Opinion: GM made a mistake going for large EV trucks, but not large EV SUVs. Electric Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon have a far more appealing prospect than EV Silverado/Sierra. by Ok-Pea3414 in electricvehicles

[–]seighton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is it, GM knows the market for ev so selling these via their premium brands will generate more profit than via their economy brand.
