GAP Locations

Most of you are focused on who is going to win the game. You spend hours looking at injury reports and weather and momentum. You think you are playing a game of football or basketball. You are not. You are playing a game of Price and Probability. ​The bookie is not your enemy because he is smarter than you. He is your enemy because he charges you a tax just to walk through the door. This is called the Vig or the Juice. ​1. THE MATH OF THE HOLD ​When you see a line at -110 on both sides it means you have to bet $110 to win $100. The bookie is taking a 4.76% cut of the action. If you go 50/50 over a month you do not break even. You lose money. You have been taxed into bankruptcy. ​...

Her newest YouTube video was actually painful to get through, I was fast forwarding half of it, but here’s the recap so you don’t have to waste your time. • She’s “nesting” like this is her first baby ever. Organizing a bunch of baby stuff that she’s “boughten” (the exact word she used, first graders have better grammar than this chick. 🤦🏽‍♀️ ) She proceeds to show off more tacky, hideous baby clothes, a play mat & swing. Again, you’d think she’d use the same stuff from her youngest but nope 🤷‍♀️ • Shows a whole junk corner in her bedroom and instead of throwing anything away, she just crams it into her already overflowing closet. There ...

I think there's more to my Freezing and Collapsing than meets the eye, because I know I'm plenty competant, but there's a lot of pain and sadness on the other side of that wall of resistance. . Y'all probably already know this, .......but I didnt. IT's unbelievable what you tell yourself, "I just can't ". No real reason, just , "no". Underneath the whole "I just don't want to do it, because it's hard and not fun".....there's much more......for me. When I was around 10, a plan was launched on my behalf.........it was this very formal, sitting me down and things are going to change and here's whats going to...

I’ve decided to open an online store to sell my own clothing designs. I’m excited, but my budget is pretty limited. My biggest worry is spending too much upfront on things like ads, photography, inventory, or branding before I even get my first few orders. For those who’ve launched a small fashion brand (or any ecommerce store), what would you prioritize early on? What would you avoid spending on until there’s traction? Would really appreciate practical advice.

\*This title begs the AI query- "what risks were taken in this video?" \*Also, the new name for the "Casita" - "La Shed" I poached it from the comments from the last video (Credit to [u/JR-vg3gg](https://www.youtube.com/@JR-vg3gg) for coining this) \*Full AI summary follows - In this video, several risks were taken, primarily related to the transportation of the heavy countertop and some general DIY hazards: * **Countertop Breaking During Transport** (0:02-0:05, 21:15-22:20): The most significant risk was the potential for the 500lb countertop to break during transportation.

I personally feel like the magic is gone from the world. I've spoken to others, some much older than myself who were adults throughout the 80's and 90's with adult struggles who agree. We "know everything" now. If we don't, Google does. If Google doesn't, ChatGPT does. Should that fail, there's Reddit to ask. Wondering if you should get a game? Ask one of the above. Same for shows, movies, music, and just about anything. Gone are the days of suspense of "Man, I hope 'X' is good!". Which is both good and bad, really. I've taken a chance on some movies only to be left with a horrible two hour movie where the best part of...

Now don't get me wrong, I don't think crypto will ever go to total zero - there will always be a greater fool to buy it. But the days of generational wealth being minted like the early adopters pulled off, let alone the idea of ever seeing crypto become a useful enduring asset? Those are long gone. At some point, no matter how much hype there is initially generated, an asset eventually has to prove its worth. The only thing Bitcoin is proving right now is that the emperor simply has no clothes. Despite being at a time of economic and geopolitical instability like we're seeing right now, where the price of Bitcoin should theoretically be rising amidst these conditions if its ...

I recently joined my bachelors after having a gap of more than 3 years. My +2 classmates are about to finish their bachelors but I don't talk much with anyone so these things don't really bother me at all At first, I joined a bachelors right after 12th grade but I dropped out because I didn't like the field. I had the choice to continue on the wrong path but I didn't. Then I applied for a visa and got rejected During those gap years, I figured out my interests. I learned and explored many things so I have no regrets about that time Interestingly, when you join college after such a long gap, you value your studies more. You see everything differently I used to strongly...

The original stars do not blink. That is the first thing any visitor to the Nascent notices, if they survive long enough to notice anything at all. Stars in the Compiled Verses — those younger, borrowed universes built on the residue of what came before — they flicker. They pulse. They breathe with the rhythm of fusion reactions and magnetic fluctuations and all the busy, mortal mathematics of matter trying to hold itself together. They are alive in the way that anything with a lifespan is alive. Urgently. Anxiously. Always slightly aware that the process will eventually stop. The original stars of the Nascent do not flicker because they have nothing to prove. They burn on fuel that ha...

This might be a bit of an odd take, but I feel like I have a lot of doss clothes, that are thick and cozy, which makes them awkward to store, but also I feel as though I have a LOT... To the point to where I may need a new unit to store them in... Or maybe invest in under the bed storage? I also feel as though I should change my clothes every day, and I thought that was normal? I've heard mixed stuff, some people do, some people don't. Some people even hang sweaty clothes to wear them again when they dry out instead of washing every time they get sweaty. And then you have people who change their clothing when they get in from a day out, because they don't want their 'outs...

Hello! This is a sourcecall for *anyone* who kins (or is kinsidering) *any* of the characters from my very niche source that I'm yet to find any sourcemates from. :,> That includes the characters listed, and any others from those music videos. I'm serious. Even if somebody was just *slightly* kinsidering the cashier from the clothing store that was briefly shown twice in "Upside Down", I would be very happy to talk to them. Sometimes it makes me quite sad that I seem to have zero sourcemates.... Also, in case it wasn't implied/clear, doubles of Alastor are allowed!

If you’re selling on Amazon, this is common. Here’s why. * Rising ad costs: Your ACOS (ad spend divided by sales) might look “acceptable,” but if you’re spending $30 to make $100 and your product only has $25 in real margin, you’re slowly bleeding cash. * FBA fees creep: FBA fees (what Amazon charges to store, pick, pack, and ship) increase with size, weight, and storage time. A small packaging change or slow inventory turn can wipe out profit. * Discount addiction: Coupons and deals help ranking (your product’s position in search), but if you’re always discounting to maintain sales, you’ve trained the algorithm to expect lower prices. * Cash flow lag: You...

First time posting here, if this isn't allowed mods, kindly please remove. 39M married to my gorgeous wife 37F. We are looking to try and find a few good outfits for fun 5 days away without children (thank god :) ) I've had good luck shopping for men's clothing when visiting the city previously in years past. We live in Vermont and the stores here are terrible. Are there any good places in either Montreal or even better the surrounding area (before or adjacent to Montreal)? She told me she wants to dress up in somethig that is flattering and makes her feel great. We are looking for lingerie, some sexy outfits, maybe a few nice dresses. So tired of buying **** online thats e...

*Its St. Paul shop, which was its fourth location, will shutter next week following unsuccessful lease negotiations with the mall, which is owned by the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio, the property owner behind* [*multiple vacant or near-vacant retail malls along Grand Avenue*](https://www.twincities.com/2023/06/17/languishing-grand-avenue-retail-locations-have-out-of-town-owner/)*.* *At the current location, STRS Ohio had requested that Evereve sign a 10-year lease renewal, which company officials resisted.*

it doesn’t get much better than this! working in the kids/babies department of my store means I deal with a lot of nastiness (because, for some reason, everyone expects me to know their child’s size). so this guy walks in buying clothing for his 12 years old daughter. okay. told him to get a size small, as that’s our size 12 clothing. says he doesn’t want that, he wants a size 12. okay. whatever, do what you want. he then proceeds to look at what I’m wearing and ask what size clothing I (a fully grown woman) wear in kids clothing. are you kidding me. I literally didn’t even know what to say except “oh, I don’t wear kids clothes.” what is wrong with you people.

Perhaps it's a starter base for runaway prisoners to take off their clothes and start their robbing career, like their starter base. I also noticed the criminals will deliver their stolen jewels to this base, so this place isn't a charity afterall. They help the criminals to tidy themselves in exchange receiving their robbery results, like a "big brother"? But it seems like the criminals will receive returns after delivering the jewels, so it's more like their employer. Why the jewellery store have to attach themselves to such place? The other thing I noticed the design of the cargo crates is same as the crates in the port adjacent. I did went that port sometimes, e...

I am an old fart who doesn't know how to get screenshots from my viddy game to the interweb. Verify if you have a chance! 1. In the room with the spider wearing a traffic cone, there are newspapers all over the floor. Near the lower part of the room, one of the newspapers has a picture of Hood (the concept art of him holding a pig's head). 2. The soldiers in that room who get out of their beds and crawl along the floor with grenades are eerily similar to the skin enemies from the first part of the game, who slide around on their stomachs in the same way. 3. The mannequin heads that you throw through the store window cannot be picked up again after being thrown through the windo...

hey everyone, online shopping is great until you have no idea how the clothes will actually look on you. i was constantly opening like 10 tabs, screenshotting outfits, sending them to friends, and still guessing if something would actually fit my vibe. half the time i’d order it, try it on, and return it. so i built TryItOn. it's a browser extension that lets you virtually try on clothes directly on the store page you're browsing. you upload a photo once, and it overlays the clothing onto you in seconds — so no switching tabs, no separate apps. just see how that jacket, hoodie, or dress would look on you before you buy. it runs as a chrome or edge extension built with rea...
