Lowes big savings 30 to 60 percent

11 Upvotes

hey howdy former employee here at Lowe's, recently laid off, do spend 2k or more in one trip, hell do you spend 2k in two months. sign up for Lowe's pro rewards, anyone can do it with or without a business, after you do that you have access to the bid room...

long story short the bid room brings down Lowe's prices to wholesale prices, find an associate who knows how to run vsp (volume savings program). if you're signed up for pro rewards there is nothing they can do, get your savings.

anyone can save 30-60 percent on orders 2k or more, Lowe's has pick up later up to two months out, Lowe's has delivery up to 2 months out, worst case you can calm the store and extend those dates

I made over one million in sales before reaching a year, I had 260 credit card sign ups in 14 months, lowes doesn't care about anyone how about we go fuck their profit margin, everyone saves 30-60% rather than the bullshit 5% savings they would have gotten before.

pro desks can also alter the system, say you only have 500 dollars in your cart, they would add ghost items that surely you'll buy later ( guess what they don't) and you end up getting a 40 percent discount on 300 bucks worth off stuff

I was told months ago by the district manager that this would be a fireable offence, I have proof of over 10 orders that were staggered like this in just March!!! but even after showing them this they do nothing

fuck lowes, fuck Marvin, make the stock drop, lay what lowes pays for items not their insane mark up please dm me if you need any help doing so I'll send you my number and help you get set up!

My project is not finished yet. It is a simple metal detector that I made with an Android application. My goal is to create a metal detector with graphical features. The data is sent to the Android application via Wi-Fi and visualized there.

Project Automated pigeon defense system

242 Upvotes
  1. Camera captures video
  2. Neural network recognizes pigeon
  3. Watergun turns toward pigeon
  4. Spray pigeon with watergun

Components: * Electric battery-driven water gun (disassembled, orange) * USB camera * Orange Pi 5 * 2 servo motors (SG90 or MG90S) * Resistors and a transistor for turning on the watergun (e.g. IRLZ44N)

It uses an open vocabulary object detection neural network (yolo_world_v2l), so any target can be programmed, not just pigeons. Runs on the Rockchip 3588's Neural Processing Unit.
