  1. 20-Year-Old Robinhood Customer Dies By Suicide After Seeing A $730,000 Negative Balance. Like so many others, Kearns took up stock investing during the pandemic, signing up with Millennial-focused brokerage firm Robinhood, which offers commission-free trading, a fun and easy-to-use mobile app and even awards new customers free shares of stock. During the first quarter of 2020, Robinhood added a record 3 million new accounts to its platform. As the Covid-19 stock market swung wildly, Kearns had begun experimenting, trading options. His final note, filled with anger toward Robinhood, says that he had “no clue” what he was doing. In fact, a screenshot from Kearns’ mobile phone reveals that while his account had a negative $730,165 cash balance displayed in red, it may not have represented uncollateralized indebtedness at all, but rather his temporary balance until the stocks underlying his assigned options actually settled into his account. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/06/17/20-year-old-robinhood-customer-dies-by-suicide-after-seeing-a-730000-negative-balance/#72d305d71638
  2. My 17 year old nephew and his dad want to build an AR together and asked me for resources on where to start. This will be a plinking ranch rifle. I suggested they start at the Palmetto website to look at all the options and price ranges. How would you guys suggest they proceed. Neither know much about firearms except for basic range safety that they got in Boy Scouts. Money not really an object but I would guess $600 would be about the sweet spot.
  3. They are going to let kids that age out this year go next year without counting towards the crew/advisor ratio.
  4. Stihl protesting I see.
  5. Can muledick be an option? If so. Muledick.
  6. Smells like teen spirit.
  7. I was hoping that the woman that was handed the brick from the car driving by would have said "Oh? You want me to throw bricks? Ok. I'll throw this brick" and commence to smash it through the car's windshield.
  8. I’m on Pandora’s $4/month no add plan and it fits my needs.
  9. I got the Visa card yesterday. Have no idea why we got it either as we don’t qualify. It was for a weird amount too.
  10. Hope you have a fast recovery brother. Stay connected.
  11. I remember this except I thought the poster was in Galveston because the mob angle was being played up.
  12. Geocaching practical joke gone wrong.
  13. I should get one of those to put over our pool in the winter
  14. You just described me sitting at the bar in Ego’s in the ‘00’s.
  15. Convert it so a salt water system.

    nvm

  17. (He CR'd it, not me) He hosted Willy’s Luck Reunion live broadcast on Facebook a couple of weeks ago as one of the 1st fund raisers for the covids. Would be real shitty if that’s when he caught it.
  18. I don’t think that there has ever been a person that went in for a sleep study and left without a report saying they needed a c-pap. Oh, and guess what, they sell you the machine too. That’s not to say that you wouldn’t benefit from one, but why don’t they just sell these devices at your local Walmart for $150 and be done with it.
  19. About 3 years. Hilton +1.
  20. I worked for the GC. Sorry, not sorry.
  21. I was on that Hilton project. It was the tallest building in Austin for a grand total of six months before being overtaken by the Frost building.
