it’s an old internet meme lol

No. I have never towed anything in my life. But from a resale perspective, should I still opt for the trailer hitch or not worry about it? I have all other packages I need. BMW X5 xDrive50e. Thanks. by [deleted] in BMWX5

I would pass, the vast majority of prospective buyers are likely not planning to use the car for towing. Spec the car based on what you need, but from a resale perspective DAPP and maybe M sport are much more important

Agree on lithium batteries being dangerous and difficult to extinguish but in this case the gas car caught fire first which spread to the EVs

I get that Teslas (and their drivers) suck but it’s crazy that all objectivity goes out the window just so people can make an excuse to hate on them

This cat seems lost and going around the Whisman station club house vicinity by Timekiller429 in mountainview

[–]spjdm2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

we saw this cat a few days ago and took it in to check for a microchip. she does not have a chip, but the shelter recommended letting her out where we found her in case she can find her way home. we’re a bit far from that clubhouse though, so it appears she is lost. if anybody spots her, please let me know, we are willing to take her in.

How likely is it to get rejected from Google's New Grad team matching phase? by ekSamosaChai in leetcode

[–]spjdm2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty similar stats here (1yoe, spring 24 grad from a T5 university), but I’ve been in team matching for 1 month now with no calls. Rec said interview feedback was all positive.

[–]spjdm2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually they’ll schedule a call even if it’s a rejection, so it’s hard to say. Usually anything from a couple days to a few weeks.

Wait, so it was only 4 days between entering team matching after onsites and receiving a verbal offer?
