ROSS STORE Locations

Picked up the 2563-22-3453-20 combo while it was on sale on Home Depot. With my MIL discount it came out to $372 OTD. I couldn’t pass it up at that price. Up until now I have been running different tool brands based on what I could buy cheaply. For my drill driver, impact driver, cordless ratchet I used the 12V SKIL. Got all three for under $100 with a single battery a while ago. Then I purchased a Ryobi P262 and PBLIW01 for about $60 combined from a local auction that deals with store returns. Then I purchased and rebuilt a Ryobi 4ah battery for about $20. Overall I didn’t mind being so fragmented between brands due to the fact that I was in on all my tools for less than $200 and th...

After not owning any boots other than work boots for better than 20 yrs, a local western wear store is going out of business after being here for 55 years so I decided to go check out what might be worth seeing. I ended up leaving with the pictured pairs, the black pythons are Cody James and the Earth-tone cowhide pair are Tony Lamas. Not top-shelf boots by any measure but neither are they junk. Both pairs together set me back less than $375 out the door and I feel like that's a pretty solid purchase for NIB boots. What say you, boot experts?

I'm in a bit of a prom dilemma! so I am plus size (between like a 14-18 depending on the store, sometimes a 12) which already makes dress shopping hard. Yet i also have some specifics in mind as to the dress I would love to wear... i know I definitely want to wear blue, and I would love to find something that is off the shoulder and long-sleeved, as I am a bit insecure of my arms/lower back. i love like vintage looking dresses, but i know i can't really get more picky... Everything I find is either simply not made in my size or super skin tight!! Does anyone have any recs for places I should look into?

*An examination of a seductive—and dangerous—philosophical sleight of hand* --- A new framework is emerging in certain AI user communities. It distinguishes between giving an AI a "prompt" (mere instruction) and engaging with a "presence" (an ongoing relationship with a persistent entity). This distinction sounds philosophically sophisticated. It draws on phenomenology, claims analytical rigor, and positions itself as a more honest reckoning with our actual experience of AI systems. It is also fundamentally wrong—and understanding *why* matters for anyone building, using, or thinking seriously about AI. ## The Core Claim The argument goes like this: **A prom...

He may not realize it due to my sometimes blank expressions or bland responses when I'm in low social battery, but I appreciate my boyfriend so much for everything he is and does to me. He is literally my high school romance come true. He sends me good morning and good night texts everyday. He often sends a message showing me something he found was cool, or something that he did. He listens to me yap about my special interests and my late night inspirations attentively (although I can just tell he barely comprehends anything). He gives me food and gifts, something no other partner has gave me before. I actually cried the first time he gave me a joelho (brazilian pastry)! Today I visited...

I had a lot of drive, wanted to go to college, I had great friends (still in touch with them but im very social and need in person contact), good grades, etc. I miss being a normal girl. I had to drop it all and move states to be safer due to really bad family. Now I live with different relatives and do nothing all day. How do you cope when you never wanted this life for yourself? I mean, I dont think any of us do but my cousin who just games all day seems content with herself. For some reason I cant relax. I cant feel hope because everytime I do something goes wrong. I wish I could be chill like her. She doesn't worry about the future. She just watches shows and plays games. I want to...

I'll be visiting Queens for the day on a Saturday in March and would like to shop at some stores selling reasonably-priced African fashions, specifically women's dresses. I'm sure there are multiple options but would like to have a pre-plan of which places to try. I'm looking for pre-made, ready-to-wear clothing vs buying fabric. Please tell me your favorite place! I'll be on Northern Blvd in Long Island City for an event and will be walking, Ubering, or taking a taxi to shopping after, if that makes a difference in your recommendation (ie, Brooklyn probably isn't reasonable on this trip). Thank you!

\-This is the second chapter of my story, "A Place to Call Home". If you wish to read it, I'd recommend reading the first part first. You can easily find it by searching the title in this subreddit!- Venamius was finishing her studies on investing after a little less than a year, and she was pretty sick of it. And of most things related to economics, to be fair. At least, she thought, the studies program that her parents had made for her was nearing its end. That was one of the few things that she found comforting, alongside her necklace, which she only wore when her parents were out, her small collection of board games and personal books (about things that she actually liked...

If you’ve ever built an AI feature and thought, “Why is this slow today?” you’re not alone. Performance tuning is less about secret tricks and more about good plumbing: reduce wasted tokens, tighten context, and keep requests predictable. Google’s models are powerful, but they still respond best when you treat them like a shared resource—budgeting inputs, caching outputs, and measuring what matters. The payoff is real: faster responses, lower costs, and a smoother user experience that feels “instant” instead of “thinking…” Here are practical ways to squeeze more speed and stability out of your integration: * Keep prompts lean: remove boilerplate, repeated instructions...

**NOTE:** My situation is complicated and the store has offered the **Legion 5 Pro for 2600 AUD. And the 7i is just on a crazy discount.** My main issue is that how is the cooling on the 7i? Because it is noticeably thinner and is it really worth the extra 300 ish dollars to get because it's white too and ive never seen a white laptop. **SPECS:** Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 10 16" Manufacturer Specifications |Processor|Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX, 24C (8P + 16E) / 24T, Max Turbo up to 5.4GHz, 36MB| |:-|:-| |AI PC Category|AI-Powered Gaming PC| |NPU|Integrated Intel® AI Boost, up to 13 TOPS| |Graphics|NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5070 8GB GDDR7, Boost Clock 2347MHz, TGP 115W, 798 AI TOP...

I got a new job and work from home (mostly) as an editor and only will be needing to go into the office only several times a month in studio city - I wanna live somewhere that brings me a sense of community and being surrounded by people. I have felt quite lonely here and isolated in quiet “safer” neighborhoods- such as eagle rock where I live now. For context I am a single female who is 26. Looking to find other friends of a similar demographic who are young professionals so I can just identify with them and have meaningful conversations about being in your 20s and quarter life crisis type stuff and just have real connection (not talking just about hot yoga and matcha lattes). **A co...

I hope that this is an appropriate topic, but since interviewing in academia is such a unique process, I am hoping this fits the sub. I am preparing for my first on-campus interview for a position that I am super excited about. I would like to buy myself a women’s suit for the occasion, as I tend to dress more business casual on the regular (my sub-field is very casual). I am wondering if people have advice as to where to shop? I am a US size 14. I am willing to splurge a bit but with my limited stipend, I would want to keep it to $300 or less. Thanks!

I’ve been noticing more businesses talking about **3PL warehousing** lately, and I’m curious… is this what’s actually helping brands scale so fast? https://preview.redd.it/7wsfznffrehg1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97949b481e673c01f1c56b1de32817aba8530b8d # So what does 3PL warehousing really do? From what I understand, instead of renting your own warehouse, hiring staff, and managing inventory chaos, you use a **3PL fulfillment center** that stores and ships everything for you. Companies like **Aquantuo** basically handle the backend while brands focus on selling. Sounds simple, but also kind of game-changing? # Are 3PL logistics services just...

If you’re wiped out tired because you’re cutting calories to try to lose weight… you’re doing it wrong. At one point, we knew the world was flat. That was a fact… until it wasn’t. Nutrition is the same way. Old thinking says: Eat less. Suffer more. Be exhausted. New thinking says: Eat the right foods. At the right times. Support your metabolism instead of starving it. When you feed your body properly, energy goes up. Hormones respond. And your body starts using stored body fat the way it was designed to. Fat loss isn’t about punishment. It’s about strategy. If your plan leaves you drained, foggy, and miserable, that’s not discipline… that’s outdated...

My wife gave birth to our first child about five months ago. Lately she’s been pushing very hard for us to buy a house together so it becomes community property. I’ve been refusing, and now she says I’m being selfish and unfair. I disagree. About a year before we found out she was pregnant, my wife was charged with a DUI. She was waiting in a parking lot while her friend ran into a UPS store, fell asleep in the car, and there happened to be cops around. The situation spiraled and she lost her job once word got around, and she’s been unable to find work since. After that and once she became pregnant, we decided together that she would be a stay-at-home mom. Even before all of this...

Hello everyone I am a Canadian size 16 in Miami for a few days. Just wanted to check what are some good budget plus size finds. I am visiting dolphin Mall and a bit overwhelmed with the number of stores in there, but I’m open to suggestions for a good quality clothing and some budget clothing looking for some dresses. Some cute shorts. Thank you, everyone

So I am taking a business class through my local community college as a dual enrollment student. I am remote meaning I join a live class through my laptop. Last week my teacher got on the topic of why women are typically small business owners. Rather than giving just a statistic, he said that women were biologically more equipped to deal with kids than men hence why they are the main caregivers and needed a more flexible schedule. He then said that men did not care about their schedules because "they did not have sex trophies running around them kicking them in the knees" like women do. When asked, I said that I did not agree with this and that women are not given the same fair cha...

Hi Im Angel I found out about a year or two ago that my "dad" was in fact not my dad. My birth mother (i grew up in foster care adopted by my parents at 7) said and I quote this "well you came out looking so white I figured no one would ever find out". She said my "dad" was always so intoxicated he never stopped to realize they hadnt done it any time around my conception date. My birth father is a Chinease man my mother had an affair with. The man I was told my father is was a white man who sold drugs and was abusive. I struggled with my identity a lot growing up. I was constantly bullied for being over weight and had comments made about my eyes. The most sig...

I work in a relatively casual tech office where the dress code is pretty relaxed. Jeans and sneakers are totally normal. Most people wear graphic tees and nobody really cares about professional appearance as long as your work is good. But I'm wondering if I've found the boundary of acceptable. I'm a huge fan of comic books and Batman specifically, and I found these incredible joker shoes online. They're high quality sneakers with purple and green accents, subtle Joker face details on the heel, and just enough character reference to be recognizable without being costume level. They're actually really well designed and not cheap looking at all. I bought them thinki...

Just myself now running the office/ store. My coworker quit today. I have less experience than her, but I've learned a lot since I was hired in July. At 22 per hour. Since I am taking over her work I figured I could ask for a raise. Not sure how much to ask for and when is appropriate?
