ROSS STORE Locations

You can fly into Seattle as it’s the biggest hub, likely to give you best options for pricing, rental cars, etc. If you fly into Seattle, try to hit up some bakeries and other fun places for food rather than just grocery stores. Great foodie city. About 2.5 hours from the Gorge. Spokane is another option and a bit shorter drive (2 hours), but will likely have less flight and rental options. Portland is another option, it’s about 4 hours away. Thought it’d be helpful to summarize while I was planning.

I bought the latest TMNT commander deck for $52 yesterday, which I believe is $20 lower than the supposed market price. Today it spiked up by $10. At the same time, I found this store online(in tcg player) that’s “preselling” all of these opened rares and mythics for way less than the current market price. I’m aware that the market price is extremely volatile because there’s barely any supply and a ton of demand, but I’m talking about cards that HAVE to be worth more than the dollar they’re listed for imo. Splinter’a technique has a market price of 15 but I’m seeing it sold for 10 at this place. And other rares for a dollar. What I’m trying to ask is, I feel like I ...

Hello, 33.5w FTM I've heard that maternity clothing is essentially nonexistent (and so far has been, granted I've only looked in Walmart and Target) but with 2 baby showers coming up (one with my boyfriends family and one with mine) I'm struggling to just find something nice to wear in general and it *****! It also doesnt help that I live in Utah so any clothes I am finding that might be okay, like long dresses, are very much in a "church"-y style and its not at all what I would ever want to wear seeing as I'm not religious at all and dont want to look or feel like I'm dressed up for church even when just the style of clothing isn't me at all 🥲 Al...

I am wanting to rent my wedding dress because I don’t need a gown to sit in my closet for years like my prom dress 😂 Any suggestions? Trying to spend $1k or less

In an average lifetime, we may experience two to three Saturn-Neptune conjunctions. The last one occurred in 1989, in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. However, on February 20th, we will have this exact conjunction happening in the sign of Aries. What makes this one more noteworthy is that it will be at 0 degrees and 45 minutes. Some see this as a fresh start. Aries is considered the beginning of the zodiac wheel, the first sign, marked by the season of spring. Newness, beginnings, and an energetic tone tend to emerge around this time of year. The 0 degree point in astrology is known as a world degree when it occurs in a Cardinal sign. The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn...

Hello. My name is Bryan Thornton. I am a 45-year-old man. My younger brother, Ryan Thornton, killed himself. He found something that... even I find disturbing. Now, you may have become familiar with my brother by a post he made on R/Stories, titled "Lost Children." Funny enough, I found myself on the app doing the same. I have been a detective for 25 years, and I have NEVER encountered a case such as this one. The level of depravity it would take to do something to children so young makes me sick! I was working on a case down in Arkansas when I got the call. I have deep connections within the FBI. I was the first one on the scene! The red and blue flashing lights in front of his...

Hey everyone, If you’ve been in the AI upscaling game for a while, you know Topaz Video AI has been the "gold standard" for years. But let’s be real - the recent pricing hikes and the heavy system requirements have a lot of us looking for alternatives. I’ve spent the last few weeks testing [Aiarty Video Enhancer](https://www.videoproc.com/resource/aiarty-video-enhancer-review.htm?ttref=w1bl-xxx-r2602202) as a potential Topaz replacement, and honestly? It’s way better than I expected. Here’s a breakdown of how it stacks up and why it might be the switch you’re looking for. **1. The "Clean-then-Scale" Workflow** One of my biggest gripes with Topaz is that if ...

I’m in charge of creating name tags for the up coming spring season at my store. I’ve already made previous name tags for fall and winter seasons. Usually I use shellac to seal the art that way I don’t need to constantly redo them. Recently I was a borrowed barista at a different location where I was told that shellac is against dress code as it flakes off over time. At that location they use laminating sheets to cover their name tags. When I told my SM she said that it might be considered a sticker which is no longer allowed. Does anyone know what I am supposed to use to seal the name tags I’m making?? I really don’t want my hard work to be ruined

Thought I'd share

TL;DR I think, as people in the theater community it's good for us to conceive of better ways for shows to reach more people. Ultimately it helps more people access this vibrant culture and could inspire more to take up the mantle of creating more stories for us to enjoy. Hello TeatroPH :> I'm coming to you guys with something na nagsi-simmer na sa utak ko for a while, which is accessibility in PH theater—more specifically, the ability to access theater despite conditions that stop you from watching live performances (whether physical, financial, or a combination of factors altogether). I started thinking about this[ after a small interaction I had with John Mark Yap](ht...

Found these at a Ross tonight.

TLDR: I tested the new Manus Agent and the open-source Open Claw Agent. Open Claw is powerful but a security nightmare that requires a lot of setup / constant babysitting - and you can end up with a $3,000 usage bill if you don't micromanage it. Manus Agent is a secure, managed, and surprisingly easy-to-use powerhouse that integrates with my daily workflow through Telegram and email. Here's all the reasons why Manus wins and it's not even a close competition. I've been obsessed with autonomous AI agents for a while now. The idea of an AI that doesn't just answer questions but actually does things for you is the holy grail. So when Open Claw went viral, I jumped on t...

Here are all the reasons Manus Agent is better than Open Claw. Manus Agent is easy setup, has amazing research / content / production capabilities, is secure, and much cheaper than Open Claw.

**Part One**  I was living the NYC dream in a 300 square-foot room above a struggling dim sum restaurant. I worked 39 hours a week at Potterhouse Grill and when I wasn’t doing that, I posted videos of my DoorDash deliveries to my 834 TikTok followers.  That was before the break up.  I hadn’t left my room in weeks.  What was I doing? Nothing.       When Stepney invited me to the gala, she wouldn’t take no for an answer. The “Universal Self-Portrait” exhibit was supposed to be transcendent, but the promise of free champagne and bite-sized miracles sold me. I came to NYC to wait tables, write a novel, and someday earn a city-view penthouse that wasn’t j...

Hi! I've lurked here for a while and wanted to quickly tell my story with driving anxiety. I started the way teens normally do: permit by 16, driving lessons from an official driving school. Driving always scared me, and I failed my first driving test –– I couldn't back into a parking spot between the lines (still struggle with this) and came home from my test feeling like a failure. At 17, right after graduating high school, I retook the test and passed narrowly, due to a very empathetic examiner who looked and talked like Santa. (As opposed to the first examiner, an ex-military ******* who made me cry). After that, I didn't drive too much –– to the store nearby, ar...

The cafeteria buzzed with noise, everyone in their U.A. uniforms, trays sliding across tables, students laughing between bites. Mineta and Kendo were sitting side by side, trying to act normal while very obviously being a new couple. Under the table, their hands were still loosely linked. Denki, watching from across the room, suddenly leaned toward Nejire and whispered something in her ear. Her eyes lit up immediately. “Oh my gosh, yes!” she said — way too loudly. Before anyone could stop her, Nejire sprang up and rushed over to their table, practically vibrating with excitement. “Hey! Hey! Kendo!” she said, leaning in dramatically. “Would you like to go on a double date...

**Scope:** RAG, vector stores, document chunking, retrieval observability, prod incidents. # TL;DR **Symptom:** your RAG answers look grounded in docs, with citations, but the cited chunks are from the wrong place or the wrong meaning. **Root cause:** the retrieval layer is returning chunks that are numerically close in embedding space but semantically off, so all later steps build on bad evidence. **Fix pattern:** treat “wrong chunk” as a separate failure class, add a small semantic verification layer after retrieval, log it clearly, and change how the system reacts when retrieval is misaligned instead of blaming the model. # Part 1 · What this failure looks like in the wild You ...

I was driving back to a hotspot when I received a Kroger shopping order. I was on the road and only glanced at the guaranteed pay...$11 for a delivery less than a mile away and it showed ONE item. I accepted it. When I arrived at Kroger and opened the order, it turned out to be 18 cases of Kroger brand 40 pack water bottles. At that point, I should’ve unassigned. I’m a big guy and in decent shape for my age, but those cases are heavy. I loaded 8 cases into a cart, so many I could barely push it. At self-checkout, the cart basket completely broke. I had to unload everything into another cart and limit it to 6 cases. That meant three trips from the store to my truck. As I was pulling awa...
