  1. Gotta love the fake handshakes
  2. Brand new windshield wipers. I'm spraying the washer and running the wipers even when the windshield is clean I love it so much.
  3. Up 6, 27.5 to go, any other team, I would say it's over.
  4. The one thing I've never been able to figure out is how E*Trade calculates buying power especially when selling puts to open. For example, I can sell 5000 puts to open at $2.75 thereby netting me $13,450 after commission. BUT, to execute this transaction, I need to have $81k in buying power. Basically, for every 100 puts, I need to have $1620 in buying power. HTF do they get to this $1620? There doesn't seem to be any simple calculation involving cost of the stock, cost of the option, or anything like that. I know why they do it, because on a put, your loss is theoretically limitless, I just don't know how they get to the number.
  5. This might be a good time to jump on deals from Carvana. They're still trying build market share as opposed to being profitable.
  6. I think he pulled a "NowThis" on that last one. Cut and pasted from the wrong place.
  7. Yeah OK I was just looking at closing price. On 2/6/18 it hit $50.30 but closed at 29.06. On 8/24/15 it hit 53.29 but closed at 26.05. Other than that, it closed above today's closing price just a handful of times in the past five years. The last two times were right around Xmas 2018.
  8. So since the VIX is now at/near a 52 week high, and actually like a 5 year high, will this strategy work in reverse?
  9. Nice first possession on offense.
  10. and yet, SPCE is up nearly 5%.
  11. Probably 99% of the attacks come in this way. That's one of the oldest jokes in IT. Backups never fail. Restores, on the other hand...
  12. Not just the ref, but every black dude on the field. And if he did that at the time, for sure, some of those guys, including Steelers, would have paused just a bit to see if there was any merit to that. I think that's Tomlin's point.
  13. There is a well defined, widely accepted method to using the sidewalk - in the US, walk on right side. As evidenced by this thread, there is no well defined widely accepted method of reclining on an airplane.
  14. I started with Mexico and loved it and didn't feel like I missed anything. I went back and started watching the original, but it didn't hold my interest as well. Haven't finished season 2 of the original yet. Started Mexico season 2 earlier tonight and love it. Only seen 2 episodes thus far.
  15. We don't even run havoc on D.
  16. Except for Sims. Problem is getting it into his hands.
  17. If you do end up driving to the lift, go up from the Nevada side, Boulder or Stagecoach. Way less hectic and you can still access the whole mountain. Never had a problem parking in either lot. Sonny Bono died up on that side, skiing through the trees. So maybe try and stay out of the trees.
  18. You guys are trying too hard using common sense and logic and all of that. I bet you think you're so smart and better Americans because of it.
  19. LA County Sheriff won't name names.
