BIG LOTS Locations

**A disclaimer ahead:** I know techy spaces react negatively when politics are brought up but I am afraid I will have to touch on that a little bit. But acting like politics are a topic discussed relatively often on the WAN show whenever a big tech company is slapped by the EU or some other body to eventually do the right thing. With this in mind I don't blame you if you want to focus on the specs and the capabilities rather than the societal implications and if that's you this post probably isn't for you. Something stuck with me when I watched the AirPods Pro 3 review on the main LTT channel. It starts with this quote where Linus describes the AirPods 3 and his relationsh...

Note: tried to post this as a comment on a year-old post, but got an error every time I tried to submit it, so going to make a whole new post instead - hope someone finds it useful. For some context, for the past 10 years, I've been using a Gaggia Anima, which I've been generally happy with except for the Pannarello wand, which I dislike (I always modify Pannarellos with a simple piece of tape to block off the carburetor port, which helps a bit but is not perfect). The machine was getting a bit beat-up, so figured I'd replace it. Also, I needed a machine for second location, so I actually in the market for 2 new machines. On paper, the Accademia looks really nice - except ev...

I’ve (25M) kind of hit a ceiling in my career. I graduated with a bachelors in business in 2022, it was a tough 2 years after that, I worked at a lumberyard, my first work in business was life insurance- they were basically a pyramid scheme so I left. I was a product tester for a lawnmower manufacture. Dec 2024 I started as a loan officer with a decent company and I’m at my 1 year anniversary in 2 weeks, 6 months in my exact position. I took on an assistant role and senior LOs close deals where I pull credit and do the initial interview. It’s been alright, I’m not a great salesman but I’m honest and knowledgeable about finance, credit, etc. my current set up I work with a super sm...

I have a lot of fun things planned this month! Wanting to end this year with tons of memories with you guys **💙**  **BEANSONAS FOR NEW YEAR** I would love if you could participate in creating your Beansona by recolouring or drawing over this template (You can also have have someone draw it for you/commissioned/Draw it yourself from scratch/⁠use the bean model for subs on Discord**💙** ) It doesn't matter how you create the image of your Beansona, just as long as I can have a piece of you in the picture. I want take all your submissions and add you guys with me to a big canvas to have as a New years picture! So we can all treasure it forever!

Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but It’s been making me kind of sad, and a bit mad I suppose. seeing how performative and hollow some parts of the design/art world are becoming. There’s this one person I used to follow who made an “art community” Instagram account that made a pretty big following (like 70k+ or smthn). It was branded as a collaborative, creative space where they shared other designers images etc. Cool, right? Until they just changed the name and converted it into their personal account once they had the following numbers. People followed that page thinking it was a shared creative space, now it’s basically a personal page spouting out incorrect stats. Do wh...

The article ties SMX’s ramp to a specific alert on Nov 21 and then highlights a Dec 3–4 sequence where a short post allegedly triggered a second spike. It’s compelling storytelling, and it cites other tickers to suggest repeatability, but it leaves open the core question: signal causing the move, or signal arriving alongside conditions that were primed anyway? That distinction matters a lot for risk. If you followed it, how did you size/manage risk when the move accelerated? Any rules you use to avoid getting trapped after a big vertical?

I’m technically a part time associate, I’m mainly a petcare opener. Does anyone know who’s responsible for some of these tasks: -Weekly animal counts (SAP) -Removing any black bags from cooler (if store doesn’t have its own vet) -Replacing PC ops sheets, pet loss logs etc. -Posting/filling invoices after shipments (bugs, frozen, plants) We have lots of different associates and managers who do different things (obviously) but I don’t know who specifically is in charge of these tasks, I try to make sure they get done but I don’t know who’s job it is specifically. We’ve had lots of new hires so things have been chaotic

My first "let me guilt trip you" story of the season! I'm selling a $50 makeup product at 25% off and I get sent this! I just thought it was silly 😂

I was inspired by [this question post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AI_UGC_Marketing/comments/1peh96v/has_anyone_generated_product_photos_with_ai_how/) about how AI product photography works so I thought I'd share my experience if it can help others out there. This guide is for small e-commerce businesses who want to create lifestyle or AI photography to market their products — and for the freelancers who work with them. About me: I sell AI Product Photography services as a freelancer and I also created my own software for it. I've been nerding on this topic for nearly a year now. The problem: Everyone and their dogs uses AI for product photography. Problem is, it's very...

I got this from a store and I hadn't transplanted it yet into a substrate appropriate for a cactus. I've only watered it twice but sometimes others in my home might..... I just realized it was looking a lil off and pulled her up to look closer and OMG So I'm thinking I have to cut out the squishy sick parts to save the one part that's ok Is that true? Any way to dry her out rapidly? Maybe set in my sauna???? I might just do that.... I'm really feeling awful because I loved this plant. I named him sir mix a lot because he loves big butts 🩷 🌵 Thanks for any help

If you're running social campaigns for physical products and haven't cracked the code on AI-generated ad creatives yet, this is for you. I've generated thousands of product ads with AI image tools at this point, and I've gotten really good at making images that look nearly indistinguishable from professional shoots. Here's what I've found to work really well for social media marketing: # Start with Real Inspiration Before touching any AI tool, spend 30 minutes on Pinterest or Meta Ads Library. I recommend even venturing outside of your own industry to find angles that your industry isn't leveraging and that your customers aren't used to seeing. AI w...

To preface this (sort of?) Rant, I truly love this game, and it's been one of my absolute favorite releases this year, and I didn't even plan on buying it until a coworker convinced me. I had no interest in a genre that was so inherently competitive, but decided to risk it. But now that the honeymoon phase is over, I feel like there's one major truth that most of us are either quietly accepting in the back of our heads, or have started to voice and are all being collectively ***** for: *This game simply needed more time before launch.* I will say, a lot of my realization of this was sparked by a recent video by the Youtuber TheGamingMerchant. In his video, he says that he thi...

Sophie didn’t get a lot of screen time at the beginning. This is because she was immune for the first 8 eliminations and didn’t go to tribal council at all during the pre-merge. She was at the bottom of Hina so when they were showing that tribe, they focused on the power players. She didn’t find an idol or go on any journeys so they couldn’t give her any screen time for those things. She’s also not some crazy, chaotic character who has big funny moments that they have to show. They know she’s going to be around for a while so they want to give the early boots a good amount of time. What did people want them to show of Sophie in the pre-merge? Once the merge hit and Sophie began ...

on november 16th while I was sleeping I woke up to my private personal instagram account that I’ve been building within a gaming community I participate in was ripped from me after finally reaching 1k and accomplishing some pretty big things recently! (photo provided was my initial appeal declined within seconds of submitting) devastated is a massive understatement and I feel insane trying to search for answers and get any sort of valid help, I’m becoming desperate and really want to hear from others who experienced similar and maybe had luck getting theirs back. the ban was for CSE…. which I’ve heard is a widespread issue with users due to instagrams use of Meta AI detection falsely...

Some afternoon weekdays with late nigths and late nights weekends. I want to watch the games awards showcase next week, but not by myself anymore, want to watch it together, what are your predictions? I'm only looking for a person, not a group, i have my own, but they are not much into it. Also it would be great to find a person to discuss gaming on a passionate level, like, stories, characters, music, etc. Big game soundtrack listener btw. I do play a lot of games in rotation, from story heavy focus, to online multiplayer, to give you a context, this is my rotation in the meantime: Hollow knight: Silksong, Hades 2, ER: Nightreing 500hrs, started silent hill F, rivals from time to tim...

I really try not to repeat posts but this is the only subreddit where we have seen real traction and support, so I honestly do not have any other option right now. This community is the one place that actually moved the needle for us and I am truly grateful for that. My last post reached more than 8k views which surprised me in the best way. This subreddit gets tens of thousands of visitors and the reach here is unb...

Hello everyone, I’m thinking about buying a used Wrangler in Germany for a one-year overland trip. I’ve found two Wrangler Unlimited Saharas and I’m a bit stuck choosing between them. A: 2016 2.8 CRD Diesel – 75th Anniversary 160k km Dealership B: 2018 3.6 Petrol 100k km Private seller Which one would you personally pick? Ignoring mods and accessories, what would you say is a fair price for cars like these in general? One of them has no official service records because the owner says he’s done all the maintenance himself since new. Is that a big risk? And would that hurt the resale value later? Also one of them has a pretty obvious stone chip and crack in the windshield — ...

Having put a couple of hours into Scholar since the DLC dropped, I wanted to share a few opinions I have about getting him kitted for a run and what effects to prioritize. There's a couple of ideas that, on-paper, seem great but after testing a few I found them impractical. * **3x Starlight Shards**: This one sounds incredible on paper as Scholar's passive grants you a total of 12 Shards. "Just pop them and get to level 3 with the leftovers; Starlight Shards are plentiful thanks to merchants and Rises". In practice it isn't that quick and reliant on team composition. Starlight Shards will only level up during a run if a party member's FP gets restored (the trai...

*MOONROT is a short horror game about piloting a rover across a distant alien moon. Take grainy photos, record crackly signals, keep your battery charged, and uncover the source of the anomaly that led you here.* *There may be hope for mankind just yet.* MOONROT is both my first 3D game and my first horror game, and I've been having a lot of fun working on it and learning even more about Godot (*especially* how to use shaders to make the game look good). If you think it looks neat, it would mean a lot to me if you [wishlisted it on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3622230/MOONROT/?utm_source=reddit)!

I’m looking to replace this single gang dual light switch with a dual dimmer but I can’t find anything in big box stores. The switch controls two rows of LED can lights and I want to be able to retain the functionality of turning each row on separately, but be able to dim them. The box appears to have one hot from the line side and two load side controlling the two rows of lights. No neutral (ps I’m not an electrician so forgive my nomenclature) I’m also a little concerned with using something like this on Amazon because it’s likely cheap Chinese ****. I’d prefer using something that’s from a legitimate company and actually UL listed. https://a.co/d/20TTiMV
