BIG LOTS Locations

Hi everyone, I'm looking at grabbing my first set of IEMs to use with my HIBY M300. I've done a ton of digging and research, a lot from this subreddit, and due to the vast array of genres I indulge in (everything from Skramz to Motown), I've settled on the Truthear Hexa at the entry-level price of £70. That's still a LOT of money, and the one thing stopping me from taking the dive and smashing the BUY button, is the amount of reviews from people, on Amazon and on here, pointing out how fast and how easily their Hexas broke, either from a pin snapping or an earbud going dead, and how they weren't able to get a refund. I'd just like to know the general opinion...

[Article](https://phenomenonstudio.com/article/why-feature-rich-products-fail-to-feel-powerful/) A packed roadmap can look like a win. The feature list is impressive. The product works. And still users say: “It’s fine. But it doesn’t feel powerful.” In studio projects, we hear this more often than teams expect. Usually, the issue isn’t missing functionality. It’s what too many options do to the experience. People slow down, hesitate, and start doubting their next step. Real power in UX is momentum. Users feel it when the product helps them move forward quickly and clearly, without friction. That doesn’t mean feature-rich products are bad. Some products need depth to supp...

It took me a long time to understand this and honestly, I wish someone had explained it to me before I started my GLP-1 doses. When I was struggling with weight, what I didn’t realize is that body fat isn’t just “stored energy.” It’s an active endocrine organ. It releases hormones that influence hunger, fullness, metabolism even how driven you feel to eat. So when you lose weight, your body doesn’t always cooperate. It often interprets that loss as a threat. Hunger signals ramp up. Cravings feel louder. You feel pulled toward your previous highest weight. And it can genuinely feel like something in your brain is working against you. For the longest time, I thought that meant I...

I didn’t always love the isolation that comes with living in the middle of nowhere. Growing up I dreamed of running as far as I could get from my hometown. I did eventually get away from it, and it turned out that I ***** every aspect of living in crowded cityscapes.  When my grandmother was found after her stroke my mother placed the task of taking care of Grandma’s old homestead into my hands, while she recovered in the hospital. She never really got better. She passed a couple months after I moved in. In the year since then I’d grown fond of the quiet around my home. The silence of my early morning drive.  The only real downside was the wildlife that liked to play on my quiet r...

Hi everyone! this image is not mine, from Sailor Masuo on X (I hope I got that right the work is amazing) The Penelope is my favourite MS of all time and this one in particular inspired me to do my own custom model. This aint technically my first modeling work but it will be the first big one I ever do so im a bit nervous about it, and my kit hasn't even come yet hshs. My idea was something quite similar, get rid of the chiken hood and a couple more steps, the chiken hood seems easy since you can just not add it. Where I get a bit nervous is with other stuff, I wanted to use the giant front skirts from the fixed flight unit as side skirts so I will have to adapt that piece for it to...

In the current game the big three content pieces that are the main "cores" of expansions are \- Cultures \- Forms \- Leaders They aren't the only parts of an expansion, nor is it what everyone prefers. But they are the big draws / priorities of expansions overall for a lot of people and the main node of advertising. And according to a "recent" interview, AoW4 has a potential to last another 10 years. (Not guaranteed, just potential). So that makes me wonder. What other leadertypes could they add to the game through expansions? Personally, I would lean into "high-affinity" leadertypes. Essentially, Leadertypes that are highstanding beings ti...

Sorry for the long title! I know some of you have seen me in this an the othersub. I'm sick of getting attacked for the films our studio makes. We put days of effort into our work, and we never "just prompt". It's always made with intentional care - with vision, deliberation, and precise control over what you see on screen. We're developing Open Source (meaning you can have the source code!) software that represents our workflows and making it available to everyone. I think some (not all) of the aggregators are dishonest. (You know the one - I won't mention them, we won't talk about it.) Folks like OpenArt are cool and we love what they're building...

First time poster. I feel like I'm getting whiplash from executive and burnt out from change-fatigue. Vague context (so I dont out myself). I'm lower middle management, quite keen to climb the ladder for $$ while supporting my team. I basically just want to do a good job and i dont care for politics (which i now understand is a huge mistake). Newish CEO who wants to make big changes to organisation. They left my team alone as we are very functional and are seen as industry leaders in our area- the ceo said this to us like a year ago. 2026-this all changes. Suddenly they **** my team. We are all brought in for a big meeting about how disappointing our team is and needs to be re...

Chapter 15: Lethal Affliction  We meet at the base of The Organization where we can see Maverick lying on a bed in the infirmary and connected to a breathing machine and a heart monitor.  Jessica comes to check how Maverick is doing and Murphy arrives accompanied by Crackshot to visit his friend.      Jessica: (surprised) It's amazing how Maverick is still alive after having absorbed all that radiation.    Crackshot: (worried) Maverick saved us at the cost of his own life.    Murphy: (worried) Don't give up, dude.    Solomon: Maverick will get out of this, but right now you are needed for a mission.        Solomon enters the room and ask...

I really need some pointers on how to organize my worklife on RM2. I work with communication in a really big public organization with multiple projects, clients and ALOT of changes during the day/ what needs to be done. These are my problems: 1) My mind is scattered and my to do lists are a mix of random thoughts (some related to work others are not). So it’s mostly a braindump. But how should I turn my list into a operationable to do list? Often I write things down that is related to a ongoing project on the braindump list. But then my notes/to do is fragmented on a shitload of quicknotes. So I’m losing track. 2) I have multiple projects going on the same time. Often there is a mix o...

OK so my wife does residential cleaning. She's great at it. What she's NOT great at is keeping records. Her "system" over the years: - A notebook that looked like a crime scene investigation board - Random notes on her phone mixed in with grocery lists - A spreadsheet she opened exactly 3 times - Asking me "babe, did Mrs. Johnson pay last week?" (I have no idea, I wasn't there) I'm a dev so one weekend I started building a ****** simple app. Just the basics — who did you clean for, how much, did they pay. That's it. Months later it's on the App Store lmao. Feature creep is real. But she actually uses it every day which is the real win. ...

Okay so this is going to be a little nuts but I think Genesis is lying about who she is. It seemed really bizarre how far she went to cover up something like that. Honestly I half expected it to come out she was an imposter from the low depths of society and only got in because she'd been confused for a Admirals daughter. So I got a little disappointed when they doubled down on her back story. Then I remembered that her dad gets brought up a lot but has never been seen. I also have noticed legacy is a big theme of the show. I think Genesis might be Nus Braka's adopted daughter or she heavily takes after her mother. I think she'll force her way to power and steal Braka's ...

Hi, I’m in 12th and planning to apply to Ashoka (probably registering in R3 after BITSAT is over), and I genuinely can’t tell if my profile is decent or mid. Academics: 10th: 76% 12th: expecting 85–90% Did dummy school for JEE prep. Didn’t do well in JEE. Achievements: 1st in 2 district-level science competitions 1st in 1 state-level science competition 2nd in another district-level comp Mostly robotics/tech projects. I’ve built hardware stuff (Arduino etc.) and even made a focus tracker device with a web UI because I was spiraling about productivity and decided to build my way out of it 💀 My ECs aren’t super consistent. I’ve tried MUNs, fashion shows, random com...

I’ve noticed that a lot of .NET security advice stays abstract until you actually see the bug in code. So I put together a project where everything is intentionally wrong. It’s a deliberately vulnerable .NET application that collects more than 50 common, real-world mistakes that can slip into normal business code. GitHub Repo: [The Most Vulnerable .NET App](https://github.com/AlexGoOn/the-most-vulnerable-dotnet-app) Some of the things included: * Injection attacks (SQL, command, template, LDAP, XML, log) * Cross-Site Scripting (stored, reflected, in attributes, in SVG) * Insecure file uploads (path traversal, Zip Slip, arbitrary file write), * Cryptography Issues (hashing, ECB, predi...

pretty self explanatory. I have been prepping for an exam which is a pretty big deal in my country and let's just say I used to be an amazing scorer but now I'm not. The person has made my life literal **** for the past few weeks. I'm hearing the most serious and fear inducing scenarios and literally the most spiteful things you could say to a person. Last night I lashed out too and basically just accepted everything she said and begged my dad to make her stop speaking to me. It has been better now but gosh does it drain a lot of energy. How do I calm myself down and get all those negative things I accepted out of my head so I can sit down and make sure I didn't just sign...

Im not looking for responses and its long and is understandable if absolutely nobody reads it lol I’m 30 years old and In the span of 1 year and 4 months I had everything and lost everything. In October of 2024 I was with my now ex fiancée and I started having very bad episodes of health anxiety and cardiophobia. Every day I would wake up with my heart racing and my heart skipping beats. It would go all day and some moments of peace briefly. It got so bad I shut down and even stopped showing up to work and then lost my job obviously in the process. Very unlike me when just a month before this I worked the entire month everyday. After losing my job I got even more shut down and then st...

I’m seriously considering genioplasty and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s had it done at VIP Plastic Surgery. From everything I’ve researched, genioplasty seems to be one of the more straightforward and relatively safe procedures within facial contouring. I’ve been insecure about my weak chin my whole life. When I was younger, I actually had a silicone chin implant placed but years later it started showing through and looking unnatural, so I had it removed. Ever since then I’ve refused to do fillers or implants again. I don’t want anything artificial sitting on top of the bone. Deep down, I’ve known for almost 20 years that the real solution for a recessed ch...

Privacy is becoming a big topic in crypto, and it’s easy to see why. As more real money moves on-chain, the idea that “everything should be public” no longer makes sense. People want to use crypto without turning their finances into an open spreadsheet for everyone to see. The Transparency Problem On most blockchains today (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, Sui, etc), every transaction is visible. Anyone using Block Explorer can track wallets, follow trades, and see how money is spent. That was cool when crypto was small and experimental. But it doesn’t work anymore now that institutions, businesses, investment firms and everyday people are getting onboard. Who Ge...

I was surprised that he just had Tiffany Haddish.

Hi! I am a very light sleeper and I wake up a lot at night. I can go back to sleep easily (although not always immediately) but most times I have to go pee once I am awake which means I leave the bed and I am fully awake by the time I go back to bed. I also don’t always wake up at the exact same hour in the mornings especially if I had a bad night of sleep and I am tired. I wondered how this may affect my BBT readings and I have taken my temp every time I have waken. They fluctuate a lot so I wonder if I am choosing the wrong one. Example: I fall asleep at 11pm and my usual tracking time is around 8am, and I: 1. Wake up at 4am and go pee: temp 36.65 2. Wake up again spontaneously at 06:...
