DOLLAR GENERAL Locations

Before I started working at Lidl in September, I was generally quite happy and pretty much had no worries outside of a nasty co-worker at my last job. Since, my mental health has absolutely tanked. I’m more anxious than I’ve ever been and I’m basically living in a constant state of worrying about everything imaginable. I’ve probably developed depression as well and I’ve lost a noticeable amount of weight. I have called in sick many times due to not even being able to get out of bed. On days where I don’t call in sick, I have to have frequent bathroom breaks just to have a small mental breakdown and/or panic attack before having to go back out and face co-workers and customers an...

I’m hitting a wall with a project that feels like it should be a breeze, but the "vibe coding" is leading me into a regex nightmare. ​The Setup ​I’m building a fully local system to process contracts from fulfillment companies. These docs are a mess: standard text, complex tables, and image-based PDFs that need OCR. ​My Goals ​RAG: Convert PDFs to Markdown, perform PII cleanup (Presidio), strip out the legal fluff, and feed "gold-level" data into the vector store. ​Data Mining: Extract specific rates and charges from both tables and prose for each contract. ​What I’ve Tried ​Parsing: Docling + Marker. ​PII: Microsoft Presidio. ​RAG: LlamaInde...

**So, libraries need an overhaul**. In my version, with all the owner’s manuals that have been digitised, trade manuals that have and have not; you could have a small library of specific topics. You can pick up textbooks for cents on the dollar. Do you remember going to wood work, or metal work classes at school, or then leaving school and trying to do renovation work on a house, with just a skill saw and hammer. I bet that resource room would be looking like an efficiency gold mine right about now, even compared to off-the-shelf domestic tools that dent your bank account like curb bangs your car's new wheel alignment.   In my trade library, I would have three-stage lateral integrat...

I’m looking for some outside perspective on a situation with a friend 29M that’s left me 27F feeling really uncomfortable, and I’m struggling to tell whether I’m overreacting or whether this behaviour was genuinely off and I don't know how to handle it. A friend of mine was travelling abroad and called me shortly before returning, saying he needed somewhere to stay for a few days. I agreed to let him stay for three days. Before he arrived, he told me he’d got me a gift and said he’d help with groceries as a thank-you for letting him stay. When he arrived, everything initially seemed fine. He showed me that he’d bought a large quantity of tobacco pouches abroad and said he...

# Bootstrapping or Venture Capital: What Founders Wish They Had Known Years Later For founders, the decision between bootstrapping and venture capital is rarely just about money. It is a decision about operational tempo. It defines how the company moves every day. It shapes how success is measured. It also determines the kind of pressure a CEO lives with over time. Years after taking external funding, or choosing to avoid it entirely, most founders do not regret the dollar amount involved. Instead, they regret the cultural shifts and structural constraints that followed their choice. These consequences often emerge slowly. They become visible only after the company matures. --- > Fo...

Several weeks ago I purchased a lip tint from W Cosmetics. I swatched it on my hand, and all seemed to be fine so I purchased it. Within minutes of applying it at home, my lips began to burn so I wiped it off immediately. After reading their store policy, I obtained a medical certificate from my GP confirming this was an allergic reaction. However, when I went in store to return the product, I was refused a refund. Furthermore, the staff member was not welcoming of my attempts to work towards a compromise such as store credit, exchange, partial refund, or discount of any kind. The staff there cited that W Cosmetics did not offer refunds when there were testers available. As mentioned, I ...

I started writing this post around end of November 2025 when the stock was trading at $7 a share. I’ve been quite busy of late, which is why I didn’t post sooner.  Since then, the stock has risen to $9.75 (almost a 40% return). I’m still holding, but also selling monthly covered calls at $10 and $11 strikes to collect some premiums. In fact, half the calls I sold were at $10 a share and the other half at $11 a share.  I’m going to keep what I wrote in November so you can see my thinking about the play. I don’t believe there’s too much value remaining at the current price which is why I’m selling covered calls.  Here it is: Before I get into Lions gate studios (LION),...

Not necessarily skincare but relevant to fellow skincare enthusiasts so I’m posting here in case! Several weeks ago I purchased a product from W Cosmetics. I swatched it on my hand, and all seemed to be fine so I purchased it. Within minutes of applying it at home, my lips began to burn so I wiped it off immediately. After reading their store policy, I obtained a medical certificate from my GP confirming this was an allergic reaction. However, when I went in store to return the product, I was refused a refund.

This started as a thought experiment, and could be wildly in favor of one option over the other. Curious to see what folks come up with here. This question in its base form is commonly asked of young kids to prove the power of compounding over time. But as stated in title, this has a twist. You have two options. Option 1: $1m. Cash/deposit/however you prefer. No legal issues, no taxes, no gimmicks, or problems in any way. Received immediately Option 2: You get an "account" that starts with $1 at midnight and doubles at midnight the following day. At the end of 30 days, you get all of the money in that account. However, anything you consume or use is deducted from this l...

Psychedelic music came out of the intersection of Lysergic acid diethylamide, with John Lennon and George Harrison, in 1965, snd an organic movement in San Francisco, that got started in the early ‘60s. The two Beatles were “turned on” by dentist Dr John Riley, who “dosed” the Fab Two, in his London home. Turns out, both had expressed willingness to “drop acid”, if they didn’t know about it first. John took to it like a fish in water, reportedly taking LSD every day fir more than a year. John then turned Paul on. Other musicians, in California, had been experimenting with the psychedelic compound, also, following Ken Kesey’s lead, after the success of his novel. Kesey was ...

Heya, so I've been a casual NFL fan for awhile, but this insane season and the return of my Seahawks has gotten me really into the game, so I just bought a JSN jersey. This is the first jersey I've ever had, and I'm not sure if it fits right or not. It looks good on me, not too tight, but definitely not giving an oversized look. My question is mainly about the arms. It kinda feels a little restrictive when raising my arms to the side too much, and bunches up at the front if I continue to raise my arms. I had my fiancé try it on to see if the same thing was happening with her, bc she's quite a bit smaller than me, and it seemed to be the same situation, so it might just b...

🪴🪴 Euphorbia inermis var. huttoniae is a fascinating succulent known for its "medusoid" growth habit—meaning it looks a bit like the head of Medusa, with numerous snake-like branches radiating from a central hub. ​🪴🪴 ​This variety is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is characterised by: •​ Central Caudex: A thick, fleshy main stem (caudex) that is mostly underground or at soil level. •​ Radiating Branches: Multiple cylindrical, green branches that grow outward. These branches are covered in small tubercles (bumps) but are generally spineless, which distinguishes them from many other Euphorbias. •​ Flowers (Cyathia): It produces small, del...

I just had my second session done today. & it promoted me for a tip??! In an anxious impulse I just did 20% like I do for going to a restaurant or getting my hair done but now after I'm like wait why???! It's a 5 minute laser service. If that. I think I was in the room total 10-15 min even that feels like I'm overshooting it. Obv with microblading removal journey it's a given that I'm coming back for up to 10 services & throwing hundreds of dollars at them each time so why would I tip? It feels like tipping on sclerotherapy or some other medical service. Am I out of line?? Is this weird? My 1st time I was not prompted at all. The second time I was ...
