  1. Dang. I wish I had seen this sooner. I just bought a 24” Dell from Staples for $75. But it only came with a power cord and HDMI delivered for free a day later. They made me put it on a credit card.
  2. Pos rep for the best thread title I've seen in a long time.
  3. In addition to wheelchair accessible toilet you might also want to think about a wheelchair accessible shower. This may necessitate making the entire bathroom a 'wet space' with floor drains.
  4. My FIL has a 5-600 acre ranch between Llano and Fredericksburg that goes back two generations. Three if you count my wife. He’s ‘retired’ now and runs about 100 pair cow/calf operation because it’s a passion of his. He leases to hunters which supplement the taxes and other expenses. We call it the ranch but he calls it home. He says that when I show up to help it’s like losing two good men.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. They are going to let kids that age out this year go next year without counting towards the crew/advisor ratio.
  8. Stihl protesting I see.
  9. Can muledick be an option? If so. Muledick.
  10. Smells like teen spirit.
  11. 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.
  12. I’m on Pandora’s $4/month no add plan and it fits my needs.
  13. 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.
  14. Hope you have a fast recovery brother. Stay connected.
  15. I remember this except I thought the poster was in Galveston because the mob angle was being played up.
  16. Geocaching practical joke gone wrong.
  17. I should get one of those to put over our pool in the winter
  18. You just described me sitting at the bar in Ego’s in the ‘00’s.
  19. Convert it so a salt water system.

    nvm

  21. (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.
