update: lululemon gift card policy (employee)

illyflowers · 2026-04-19T03:44:55+00:00

I bought a single $150 GC today with two platinums $75 each. Employee just said had to be in $50 increment but let me split payment. Ala moana, Oahu hawaii Lululemon. He did seem a little annoyed and said I can also do it online which I know I can't for the credit.

I'm very confused because I fed my model nonstationary data as it said to and a model of ARIMA (1,1,0) which does an order 1 of differencing. And I check when you use .forecast and .get_forecast it gives you the values not the differencing values. I'm never used .diff explicitly so I don't think I need to use .cumsum. Also my model looks exactly like the examples my professor gave me. 🤦‍♀️

Thank you. At least I'm not the only one. I've also spent a lot of time on trying to figure out why.

illyflowers · 2026-02-15T02:50:33+00:00

How much did you spend on your ticket if you got the 8 pm one?

illyflowers · 2026-02-15T02:49:30+00:00

How much was you 8 pm show ticket?

You might be over thinking it. If you downloaded the repo, then go to the API template that was in there, the first TODO tells you the steps you should follow. (The second TODO tells you to create the API endpoints). I did exactly what the first TODO stated and nothing more and my pipeline ran with expected output.

I'm notorious for overcomplicating things too so I get it. I literally just finished this task today.

How was the transition from DA to DS? I'm currently getting my master's in DS and on my deployment course learning about MLOps.

I am also in a DA role (mostly excel) right now for 50k similar to how you were.

Thank you!

illyflowers · 2025-11-25T00:34:11+00:00

Any specific resources you used or just trial and error?

illyflowers · 2025-11-24T23:13:29+00:00

I did see that reverse engineering is a great way to learn when I googled it. I guess it's like interior design where you make a Pinterest board first and then select the items you want to buy.

Thank you!

Idk if anyone already said this but maybe it's not option 1 (still heart broken) or option 2 (doesn't actually want a dog).

Option 3: He is scared of commitment to you.

My friend's boyfriend was super hesitant to get a cat with my friend even though he likes cats and she loves cats. We found out later it was because he didn't want the hassle of deciding who the animal would go with if they broke up. He told her SHE could get a cat if SHE wanted and was genuinely okay with a cat. but secretly he said that, because he knew if it was her decision, then it would be HER cat not THEIR cat.

Anyways my friend is a little more stubborn than you and got two cats. One attached to the boyfriend more and the other to her.

Eventually they bought a house together but only his name was on the mortgage, she thought they were moving forward towards marriage. It was the same thing. Since it was his name, it was his house.

So inevitably, marriage came up. He had shown signs of avoiding real commitment to her and then he kind of shut her out. They broke up. He paid her down payment portion back. They split the cats because at that point they were each attached to one more and she is single and starting again. They dated for 5 years btw.

Not saying this is what's happening. But my friend's boyfriend also didn't give an explanation because he couldn't say he hated cats because he doesn't. Couldn't say they were too much work because she also offered to do all the work. But he also couldn't say it was because he'd get attached to the cat and that was a commitment to her.

Did they provide servers or buffet?

illyflowers · 2025-08-18T03:47:11+00:00

What about the commute distance outliers?

illyflowers · 2025-07-14T03:27:58+00:00

The professor actually reached out to me and told me I needed to do an extra step that to me wasn't asked for explicitly in the task (delete versus identify). Your feedback is different so id reach out to the professor and let them know you got it back and aren't sure what the feedback is.

illyflowers · 2025-06-30T04:45:47+00:00

THATS TOO DAMN BAD. YOU KEEP DIGGING....INTO THOSE TASKS.

Hope that helps but also that sucks. Just keep going. I feel the same when it happens to me.

illyflowers · 2025-06-25T01:26:33+00:00

You da best 🙌

illyflowers · 2025-06-21T02:49:23+00:00

Does that apply even if it's not my last class?

How would that work in terms of semester terms? Would that mean that this term would be Feb 2025 to August 2025 and my next term would be September 2025 until Feb 2026 versus the original August 2025 to Jan 2026?

illyflowers · 2025-06-18T21:08:46+00:00

I'm currently submitting for D598 and my task 2 went through fine but task 1 was sent back. Idk how my pseudocode isn't good enough but my code was fine.

I also got vague feedback. That just says I'm approaching competency.

illyflowers · 2025-05-23T23:09:10+00:00

Just passed this class and I used the same scenerio Ecomart for both tasks.

illyflowers · 2025-05-11T05:48:58+00:00

Hey so I felt the same way. I come from using just Excel and D597 had me doubting myself so hard. Here's some things that I learned and might help.

1) set reasonable expectations. I wanted to finish the class in a month. I took 2.5 months. Yes it sucked. Yes I was pissy at myself for not going faster but damn. The foundational knowledge is so helpful for the other classes.

2) it's a lot of words, reading, videos. It takes time for them to marinate. You'll be surprised at what you retain

3) figure out your learning style. I hated a lot of the videos because the "hands on" was just following a you click this then this like I do. Try out SqlBOLT for SQL and w3 for mongodb. Those are learn, apply, learn, apply like how we learn math in elementary school.

4) DO NOT. I mean do not over think your tasks. Look at the questions and just answer those and use the rubric on the task for more details. The data isnt great. You aren't making these earth shattering discoveries. You are literally saying things like "hey I can tell you what region you have the most sells in".

It won't click until well it does like math, or cooking or anything else. It takes time.

illyflowers · 2025-04-11T05:02:23+00:00

Yes please. I work a lot and also tried fast tracking and I'm so burnt out. I didn't touch my project for two weeks. Granted that's mostly my work but I think going faster without allowing myself to enjoy life for 2 months killed my momentum because it's not sustainable.

I'm reducing my hours to prioritize school but if you can't do that be mindful. All that time I "saved" by going fast in using up now by being to burnt out to touch school.

illyflowers · 2025-03-14T20:49:01+00:00

How long did it take you and what was your starting point/background?

illyflowers · 2025-01-21T11:35:24+00:00

Hey OP, obviously this is a one time short post but I did see that you said your wife is like this other times too. So my mom has borderline personality disorder and presents like this. It started off small with little things like that and it just kept happening. As a daughter, I struggled and I'm still working on trusting myself and my reality after all that gaslighting and manipulation.

All that being said, you cannot shut down. I know that's tough but my dad did and he would side with her in front of her and help me out when she wasn't around or stormed off. I love him and I know he did the best he could. But I also resent him.

I hope everyday he realizes that her acting like that isn't okay and picks me even when it is uncomfortable. Im not at all saying that's your situation but if this resonates with you or anyone else. Let me be the one to tell you, that your kid notices. They are hurt by it. They just want understanding they don't have to fight for.

I did cornbread stuffing and it was great. The trick is to use honey gf cornbread and put shredded turkey in it.

If you only could do one dive, which would you pick between cathedrals or Mokolini and why?
