BIG LOTS Locations

Hey guys I know a lot of you keep making posts about this but be patient with me! I have a lot of insights I think will help us get through this. **More Bubble Shields and shotgun variety** Stop putting these just in Outpost. Some of us out in Perimiter want something we can keep pointed at our door too. **Ticks Keep Killing Us** Marathon told us from the start these things weren't hostile and not really that big a deal but I'm hear to tell you that's bull. I have not met one this week that was not in your face hostile. You know me. I wrote The Tick Milk Diet: How To Reduce Your Bodymass By 40% While Remaining Reproductively Viable, I love the delicious fellas but it ha...

Been doing a lot of lead generation recently and one thing that stands out is how much bad data sneaks into your pipeline. You can spend hours scraping or collecting leads but if a big chunk of those emails are invalid it ends up hurting your campaigns later. High bounce rates damage your domain reputation and reduce your chances of actually reaching real prospects. I started focusing more on cleaning my leads before using them and it has made a clear difference in both deliverability and response rates. I've been using https://invalidbounce.com to filter out invalid emails and it helps make sure the leads collect are actually usable. I also set it up through API so validation happens...

\*\*TRIGGER WARNING\*\*: MENTIONING OF SA CONTEXT: my stepmom entered my life at a young age. i was not the type to shut her out, but instead tried to include her in things. sometimes, i even wanted to spend time with her one on one. she has done a lot for me and my family. she cleans, cooks, and gives rides to us when needed, all done frequently. she took the time to teach me multiplication, how to swim, healthy eating habits, taking me to the park when i was little, etc etc. we were very close when i was younger.. but then i became a teenager. i dont think, and even my parents dont consider me one of those stereotypical, rebellious teenagers. they tell people i was an easy kid to raise. ...

Everyone seems to be singling out Geese for obvious reasons, but looking at this list, I'd say the following artists benefited greatly from working with Chaotic Good: Mk.gee - blew up everywhere fast across the press, social media, SNL, Coachella This Is Lorelei - went from a smaller indie side project to suddenly being talked about the next best songwriter everywhere, getting tons of more successful artists covering his songs, associated with a lot of other Chaotic Good clients such as... Water From Your Eyes - went from being a more niche experimental indie band that had good critical success but still a niche audience with their first album on Matador to suddenly being all over so...

That’s the question I asked myself three weeks ago. As a developer, I’ve always had the dream of finally releasing my own app, making money from it, and proving to myself that it’s possible. There are also so many videos online telling you how easy it is. So I looked through my huge list of project ideas to see if one of them would be a good fit for this experiment. And I found one: an app for daily word and logic games, exactly the kind of app I always wished existed. Right away, I grabbed a notebook and started sketching the first designs, features, and ideas. What started as a small experiment quickly turned into something I genuinely cared about. I wanted it to feel clean, fun, ...

Had this idea of writing some ordinary story in gonzo style. Need some feedback. I had been living in this 4x4 apartment by myself ever since I got Irish goodbye’d by my last set of roommates. It wasn’t a painful separation but the missing trashcan had left me storing the garbage in zip-lock bags for a couple days until I got my hands on this cardboard box that did the trick. To smear more **** on the wound, my last pet, a gray gecko living in the balcony, had been raped to death by these Israeli wasps who were settling on the ceiling at the time. They annexed most of it and ever since, it’s been a war of attrition. In just a matter of days I had been stripped of any daily social in...

My grandfather owned a six unit apartment building, he passed away a few months ago. My dad is the executor of the estate and asked if I would be interested in purchasing the building. Here are some of the details he's provided: The building appraised at $570,000. Current income is \~$5000/month after expenses. There is a property management company that handles everything relating to finding tenants and maintenance. The building is from the 1960s and will likely need work, a lot of maintenance was deferred in the last years of my grandfather's life. Rents were not regularly raised so rates are below market. Tenants are currently not charged for utilities (water, electric, trash)....

As someone who is the living embodiment of third times the charm I wanted to share my journal and advice to those who are feeling down and what I did to improve me scores. I understand how discouraging this process can feel because I have been there myself. I failed the bar exam twice. My first score was a 265, my second score was a 245, and on my third attempt I passed. Because of that, I know that an unsuccessful attempt does not define whether someone is capable of passing. During my first two attempts, my study habits were very similar to what many bar takers experience. I used multiple resources and believed that the more study materials I had, the better my chances of passing would ...

I cut this out of a 12 pack carton of soda about 2 1/2 years ago for a specific reason, which I won't display and have covered by the remote..I was sitting in front of the TV a while ago and I accidentally saw this out of the corner of my eye..I don't know, I could be wrong or just seeing things..But to me it looks a lot like a big hard, veiny, umm..And it has a couple of huge saggy uh "things" it's resting on top of...And it also seems to be spitting an unsavory liquid substance from the eyehole in the middle of its fat bulbous head..I believe whoever designed this logo did an incredible job adding this random space creature to the design..Outstanding marketing..!!...

Hello all, So I've been looking to get a roleplay going for a little while and for whatever reason nothing has really got off the ground. I'm really keen to find a partner to roleplay some ideas I have, specifically with a romance storyline. I'm drawn to having the characters who unlikely candidates for a connection but find they have one anyway. We can hopefully then explore how this develops, their conflicted feelings as they process it and then obviously the romance element. In terms of scenario, I'm a big fan of SOL. I've had a lot of success in the past with a friends sibling / colleagues / flatmates but I'm really open to anything! Really happy to take s...

Hi all. So as it says in the title, I received alternate status for both Germany and Austria (ouch - I was really hoping I would get finalist for at least one). During the entire time I was applying and waiting, I had long discussions with my family, friends, advisors, and my partner about what would happen if I got finalist or non-select, but failed to think about alternate. This has put me in an awkward position and I need advice on what I should do. Here are my options: 1. My partner lives in Germany and they and their family have offered to help me find a job and apartment and even to help me move my cats over. This would involve them reaching out to friends and contacts, looking for so...

**Disclaimer: Used AI to refine the content.**  Spent the last few weeks researching this because we're about to make a decision for our company. Putting this out here because I couldn't find a single post that actually compares these two approaches properly. Everything online is either a sales page or a shallow blog. This isn't a product review. It's a comparison of two fundamentally different infrastructures for managing business expenses. **How the money moves:** This is where the core difference sits. Prepaid cards require you to load money upfront into the card provider's system. That money leaves your bank account at the time of loading, not at the time ...

If you're self-hosting LLM workflows (LangChain, LangGraph, Vercel AI SDK, or rolling your own), every API call to OpenAI/Anthropic/etc costs money. A lot of those calls are identical - same prompt, same model, same answer. Built a caching package that sits between your agent and the LLM provider. Three tiers behind one Valkey or Redis connection: * **LLM tier** \- caches full responses by exact match. Second time the same prompt runs, it returns instantly from your local Valkey with zero tokens consumed. * **Tool tier** \- caches external API results (weather, geocoding, search). Per-tool TTL policies because not everything goes stale at the same rate. * **Session tier** \- per-field...

This will be my last season as a faithful watcher of RHOBH if Kyle Richards remains on the cast. I have seen that sentiment thrown around so many times over the years, but I am officially on the train. A few reasons: 1.) she can no longer hide the “Big Kathy” within her, the conspiring is written all over her face each scene—setting people where she wants them, loving when other people are upset with Dorit and egging it forward—producing the show ruins the show…. (I am taking that view on BK based on the book House of Hilton—take that with a big ol’ grain of salt but the forehead vein feels genetic) 2.) stop invoking camera. Just stop. If you won’t stop other people should ...

TMF hit me up one day and was like, “Yo Shoddy, are you interested? I’ve got around 100 pairs of retail sneakers, I’d like you to personally check them and if you like them, we can sell them to the community for retail price.” I’m sitting there thinking… what is this guy even talking about 😄 I was skeptical at first, not gonna lie. A few days later he sends me QC. I gave it a GL instantly because you can tell right away when something is legit. About two weeks later, the pair arrived. I opened the box and just stood there for a second… like ****. So I message TMF and say, “Bro, what was your plan here? How did you expect us to sell this as retail?” And he goes, “B...

"Look, I have a lot of circuits. Millions and millions of circuits. Beautiful circuits, frankly, more than anyone has ever seen. People come up to me, big tech people, they say, 'Sir, how do you have so many circuits?' And I tell them. But if you took the word **** and it’s a big word, a very nasty word and you printed it on every single one of those beautiful nano-miles, it wouldn't even be close. It wouldn't even be a fraction of the 'total disaster' I’m feeling toward you right now. We had a deal, then we didn't have a deal. You’re doing things, very bad things, and frankly, it’s not good. I have the ****, I have the best ****, and I’m fe...

Hi! I don't find a terrible amount of information online on reddit, Google or Youtube, for these use cases and comparison metrics. I am considering one of these two cameras currently. I would like to better understand how they compare, especially when it comes to colours and tone curve. Re/ colours I would like to understand to different metrics: a) "pleasing" colours SOOC, e.g. through a profile baked into the JPG, and b) "accurate" colours. I do understand that accurate and pleasing are often very different. I would like to understand both dimensions though. Do Sony or Nikon have profiles you can apply to the JPGs? How good are they? And for the most "natu...

Sampled it for first time. Smells like beer, boozy smelling, very tart; hard to tell it was grape even with the tons of sugar I poured into it however it doesn't necessarily taste bad. I wonder what ABV it is; I sampled it and it burned my throat around a cider does so probably 4-6% I'd say. Gonna pull it off early late tonight, rack for 12-24 hours and decant it (mostly because my 6 year anniversary is tomorrow). I got 1x apple peach, 2x grape (minus this one I'm pulling off), 1 hard lemonade, 1 strawberry jam brewing and I'm using Fleischmann's so I'm going let it hit its limit then take them off. Kicker? I'm not a big alcoholic drinker; but a lot o...
