GAP Locations

ok so hear me out. i've been deep diving into this whole "emotional intelligence" thing for months now. read a bunch of research, listened to way too many podcasts, talked to people way smarter than me. and here's what keeps coming up that literally nobody talks about: fiction readers are significantly better at understanding other humans. like, actually better. not in some vague "oh that's nice" way. we're talking measurable improvements in empathy, social perception, and that thing where you can tell someone's upset before they even say anything. sounds weird right? but stick with me because the science behind this is wild. ## the brain thi...

Salaam everyone, I wanted to share a milestone with this community. After months of development and iterating with support from Deen Developers and Muslamic Makers, my startup **Alifba** is finally live on the App Store. **The Problem:** I noticed a huge gap in the Islamic EdTech space. Most apps for kids are just "Netflix clones"—passive video libraries. Kids watch for hours but retain very little of the actual values or history. **The Solution:** We built Alifba to be an **Active Learning Engine**. We moved away from passive watching to "learning by doing." * **Gamified Mechanics:** We use active recall and spaced repetition (similar to Duolingo) to ensure retenti...

Hello BWT! I have a hiking trip planned to a place that will be within the 46-66°F range. I’ve hiked casually in warmer weather but this will be my first time on a proper hiking trip in cooler weather (staying in hotels at night still though, no night hiking) and I’m wondering if anyone can recommend some stores in NYC where I can find weather appropriate clothing that is still cute? I’m hoping not to spend higher than Lululemon/Alo prices unless necessary but open to both Lulu/Alo but also checking out new brands/stores as well. I’m looking for a jacket, tops, pants, and hiking boots. Also if anyone can suggest a type of jacket to bring I’d be super appreciative - I’m having...

There was a pretty cool DJ party on King St on Sunday Australia long weekend, and I was wondering if anyone knew more about it. Interested to check out similar gigs, the crowd/vibes were on point.

I used to have a slight crush on a grocery employee who worked at my local grocery, he would work various positions from cashiering , bagging , to standing at customer service etc. My friend and I would go on Saturday nights maybe twice a month , she was the one who noticed him since he seemed to be around our age group . These next segments are just some encounters that stood out to me so it's going to be all over the place . The first time we saw him he was bagging and having a conversation with our cashier and according to my friend he seemed slightly nervous which I couldn't tell since he wore a face mask till the very end while working there ,when I would see him. My friend wa...

They say: „The new HM-INK bag has a double nozzle, allowing you to refill your markers or SQUEEZE IT TO SPRAY PAINT. Ts costs 12£ (\~14€) for 100ml😭

The owner of the store’s name is Brittany and she seems nice enough so this is not a knock on her at all. But I have bought multiple items from her live shows and have decide enough is enough. Here are some recurring issues I’ve found with her shows: \- Claims that she inspects all her clothing items for damages. This is false because I have purchased two items that have either been ripped or have had stains \- Claims that the brand is a high and designer European brand. This is false. As several of items I have purchased where from the country of Turkey and they are not expensive designer brands. \- Measurements are in accurate during her life shows. Since some of her brands ar...

Idk man the whole concept of online friends seems cool to me. AMA before #153

so ive been working on this for like a few months now. basically after reading all the stuff about [otter.ai](http://otter.ai) leaking peoples VC conversations and universities straight up banning fireflies, i got kinda paranoid lol decided to build something that does everything on device. no cloud, no accounts, nothing leaves your phone basically its in app store review rn. using whisper for transcription and a local llm for the summaries, all runs on the iphones neural engine anyone else building privacy first stuff? feels like theres actually a gap here now that companies are banning all these cloud AI tools

Hey all, I’m building a Stripe-first product that’s intentionally boring, a 48-hour Stripe revenue leakage audit. It’s not dunning and not “automated recovery flows”. The output is a CFO-style artifact: • an at-risk revenue ledger (overdue invoices, delinquent subscriptions, failed collections) • evidence links + Stripe object IDs (invoice/sub/customer IDs) • a ranked fix list (what to fix first, why, estimated impact) My hypothesis: a lot of Stripe Billing teams don’t realize they’re leaking money until MRR dips or support tickets pop up, and they don’t have a clean “this is what’s at risk and here’s what to fix” view. How access works: read-only Stri...

I (38M asian gay) and guy (28M white straight) met at work. We were both being on-boarded for a new role we are starting on. It is a step below a Credit Analyst job, which I always targeted ever since moving to Canada 5 years ago. I was a Credit Analyst back home and hope I could continue on in that path here in my new home. Anyway, when guy and I first met onsite, he asked me if I can show him where he can get lunch. You see he worked at the branch from another province, while I worked on the same floor, but different department. I normally dont eat lunch, but decided to go with him anyway. Lunch with him was great, we talked about our backgrounds, education, career goals, etc. We have lots...

You lie in bed.  Eyes wide open looking up at the ceiling.  Unable to relax.  The smell of stale clothes in the corner and the day old lasagna on the stove across the room have married to create a smell that leaks into every area of your one room apartment.  It’s not what keeps you up, though.  The phone starts to ring and you already know who it is.  The only one who calls you.The police station.  There’s been a reported rape at the Landmark Hotel down by the bay.  Officer MCanna will be dispatched to meet you there.  He’ll be in plain clothes and so should you. Why?  The hotel manager is asking for discretion. You tell them you’ll be right on it and place the phone on...

Probably the most random explore I've done, also the most challenging as this place is watched closely these days. I've been told this place was so many different things from a classic car museum to a film set. My assumption is that both could be true as the list of random finds was never ending. In any case, some clear indicators of what looked like old production sets, movie props, vintage signs, cars, clothes, rooms that were set up like individual stores (one was set up as a movie theater showing the movie Gone With The Wind), old arcade games... the list goes on. I have more photos of this place than I can share in one post but these are some of my favorites. Hope you all enjo...
