GAP Locations

went to a pokemon cross stitch workshop at an anime convention this weekend because i’ve been meaning to get into it after being gifted some cross stitch supplies and just finished the pattern they gave me! i also got an animal crossing kit from the artists alley! that one came with katrina :3 if you have any critiques/suggestions i am open to them!! i also have some questions (in no particular order): 1. short of washing your hands every time you touch your work, how do you keep your aida cloth from getting dirty, and can you clean it when you’re done if it dos? i’m noticing a slight layer of dirt where i was holding it. i have to look pretty close to see it but it’s there. 2. how...

Mine is storing milk in the fridge, and keeping myself and my clothing washed regularly. Over 40 years of knowing milk is supposed to be refrigerated IRL means seeing milk outside the fridge just pokes at a part of my brain wrong and bothers me, and staying clean is sort of an RP thing, where I feel like my character would want to not walk around covered in filth, sweat, and gore even when they seem to be the only living person left... like keeping that small level of "normalcy" would keep them from going over the edge from the stress and the isolation, and not being as filthy as the zombies she fights would help her mentally separate herself and not give in to the urge to give up ...

I, (40F) and my SO (33M) recently moved in together about 5 months ago. And I have been regretting it ever since. I started dating my boyfriend, we'll call him Jake, about 2 years ago. We had both just moved to a new city and I met him through a family member. Initially, I really liked him. After some time I started to become really unattracted to him. Maybe it was the age gap as I am almost 8 years older than him, but he seemed very immature, raunchy and crude at times. After about 6 or 7 months I called it off with him and told him we should see other people. He begged me not to and I told him it just wasn't working for me. He relentlessly asked me why so eventually, I told him ...

Statistics Canada reported an easing in the headline inflation rate Tuesday but a jump in the pace of food inflation amid tax changes and lingering pressures at the grocery store continue to put the squeeze on consumers. StatCan said Tuesday that [the annual rate of inflation edged down to 2.3 per cent in January](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/260217/dq260217a-eng.htm). Economists had expected inflation to hold steady at 2.4 per cent. The agency said gas prices were 16.7 per cent lower year-over-year in January, largely thanks to the end of the consumer carbon price in April. Shelter inflation — long a pain for households in Canada — also fell to its lowest level in...

**Interlude Me, Baby, One More Time**   In the cornerspace—the spot where two walls met the ceiling, which she stared into every night, attempting to sleep—something was amiss. Beth saw a cornerspace beyond the cornerspace, and another cornerspace beyond that. Her walls began rippling, dissolving into electricity—purple, swirling, cold. By this, she knew that she was dreaming.    The cornerspace widened, becoming a door, many doors that were one. A polished onyx knob sat dead center.    *How do I open this door?*  Beth wondered. Dream logic descended: *It swings neither leftward nor rightward, but inward.* She pulled the knob, drawing the door into herself. Becoming Beth...

Most restaurant operators already have plenty of data. POS exception reports flag voids, refunds, no-sales, and cash variances. They’re good at showing when something looks unusual. Where they fall short is explaining *why* it happened. That gap matters. A spike in refunds could mean a training issue, a menu problem, or pressure during peak hours. POS data alone can’t tell the difference. Without context, teams are left interpreting numbers instead of understanding behavior. Video adds that missing layer. When exception data is linked directly to video, operators can jump straight from a flagged transaction to the exact moment it occurred. No searching. No assumptions. Just clarity....

I'm sure you're not the only one who's had that moment of paralysis in front of the closet at 7:30 AM. You talk a lot about "not having time" or "needing to buy something new," but working as an image consultant here in Barcelona, I've realized that the block almost never comes down to your schedule or a lack of hangers. It's a lack of connection. Your lives are incredibly dynamic. You've gone through motherhood, drastic career changes, international moves (the famous social landing is real) and even a pandemic. However, many times you try to dress the woman you are today in the clothes of your version from 10 years ago. That doesn't ...

a brief guide to sewing reusable pads, plus a base pattern and advice on fabric choices!

Help me figure out how to maximize this space, please! :-) My partner and I are moving into a new place, and I'm trying to rack my head around how to maximize our tiny closet space. I'm struggling with the way the type of closet doors - they slide open like this and therefore don't allow you to access the whole closet at once. We will also have a large dresser in our bedroom, and a coat closet in the entryway, in addition to this closet to work with. We don't have a ton of clothes, but I'm wondering if you can give some suggestions. Some ideas I had were: 1. Install something like the Elfa wire shelves from The Container Store (https://www.containerstore.com/s...

Hey girlies! I saw a post not long ago about dry skin and wanted to share a body care routine for banishing it. The routine is a little long, but it is worth it. (It lowkey takes me 25-30 minutes, but my skin is soft AF)   Prep 1.     Get some type of exfoliating gloves or African body net -  This is key for making sure your skin is soft and cutting through grime and dirt on the body 2.      Dry brush -  This is something I do once or twice a week ; This helps with circulation and gets the blood flowing 3.     Water cycles – With my routine, it’s so weird, but I do hot when I’m doing my first cleanse, which includes warm water for my moisturizing wash and cold wate...

I already feel like im going to get jumped for this… Anyways let me begin with some background. I worked at a Marshalls and Homegoods store(conjoined discount store) for about 5yrs. We would give some percentage of discount to damage furniture for example. Ok thats fine, no problem, but tell me why one time this lady was showing us a scratched item we were already giving her a discount for and starts scraping it hard with her nail and car keys asking for more discounts? I noticed people are just way more angrier in these stores and will literally act like we are at fault or robbing them for just saying no in certain purchases or discounts they want **at a discount store.** Other cases it w...

Two members of the Matsugae family, Kiyoaki’s uncles, had been killed. His grandmother still received a pension from the government, thanks to these two sons she had lost, but she never used the money; she left the envelopes unopened on the ledge of the household shrine. Perhaps that was why the photograph which impressed Kiyoaki most out of the entire collection of war photographs in the house was one entitled “Vicinity of Tokuri Temple: Memorial Services for the War Dead” and dated June 26, 1904, the thirty-seventh year of the Meiji era. This photograph, printed in sepia ink, was quite unlike the usual cluttered mementos of the war. It had been composed with an artist’s eye for str...

Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking here for a while, and the #1 question I see is "How do I find a validated idea?" I’ve been using a specific method called **"Review Mining"** that basically guarantees you find a problem people are already willing to pay to fix. The logic is simple: Don't try to invent a new market. Just find a "Fat SaaS" (like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zendesk) and look for the specific feature that their users ****. **The Workflow:** 1. **Pick a Category:** Go to G2 or the Shopify App Store and pick a crowded vertical (e.g., Project Management). 2. **Filter for 2-Star Reviews:** Skip the 1-star "rants." Look for 2-star review...

TLDR: 1) how the **** to talk to your boss who is a terrible communicator, 2) what *are* the specific laws around driving during work hours if you are a remote worker (I know what they are if you are an employee whose job often involves driving) and 3) how do I bridge the gap between employee and boss? Hi all! This is a long one, but if you have ANY advice I would love to hear it!! I am the director of Ops and HR, for a fairly small company (49 people), and the staff is a mix of remote, hybrid, and full in person. We have an employee who was hired during covid, with the understanding that the job was fully remote. I say "understanding" because we were a baby company back then, a...

Hi everyone, One of the best ways I’ve found to validate a startup idea (or find a new one) is to look at the 1-star and 2-star reviews of the big incumbents. If you see 100 people complaining that "Software X is too complex for small teams," you’ve basically found a roadmap for a niche SaaS. The problem is, manually reading through 5,000 reviews on G2 or the App Store is mind-numbing, and copy-pasting them into ChatGPT to analyze takes forever. I built a suite of Chrome Extensions (Reviews Extractor) to automate this. **What it does:** * **One-click export:** It scrapes reviews from G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Amazon, Google Play, etc., into a clean CSV/Excel file. * **AI A...

Heyo everyone. I’m getting back into the sport after a roughly 20 year gap and it seems like some things have changed and some things have stayed the same. But one thing that changed was there aren’t any stores in my town anymore. That said, what are some good paint lines around these days? I’m not looking for super tourney level paint that breaks when you breathe too hard on it and is about the consistency of Elmer’s. But I definitely don’t want to be running crappy, garbage, rec gun field paint through my Axe 2.0.
