I bring my Pixel 2 in the shower with me every day, and I had my Samsung S7 in the pool for 10 mins in my pocket. Are modern phones really crapping out from being dropped in the toilet?

Uh, those are both phones with high IP ratings, and they are kind of the first/second generation of phones to have protection against water. It's still generally something you only get on higher end phones.

So yes, modern phones still get angry when you dunk them in poo poo water.

The closest I get to that is setting my phone on the side of the tub between the shower curtains to listen to podcasts

Hint, he’s holding the phone with one hand, hope that helps.

The last couple months have been pretty slow for me with clients, and I'm behind on some bills. I know I need to ask him for a loan (or maybe a gift, if he offers), but I'm not really looking forward to negotiating it.

Does the $40k include gifts as part of the arrangement?

E: I also am a little jealous. I mean I don't have to do anal to be able to buy stuff or anything but she also gets to bang multiple people, and she's obviously pretty enough to get into places for free. That's not a bad life.

I'm not trying to defend her, but she mentioned at one point that she bakes a lot of the expenditures with clients into her fees, not sure how it's offset though.

This was one of the more fun Money Diary reads, though. Usually I just read the ones for my city and judge them on where they go.

I had my storage unit robbed and the insurance people are lowballing me (self.personalfinance)

submitted a minute ago by Paint_chip_ship

https://old.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/dqbzmr/i_had_my_storage_unit_robbed_and_the_insurance/

quote:

About two months ago my storage unit was robbed of almost $2000 worth of stuff. I luckily had coverage for up to that exact amount. I itemized and priced accordingly and submitted all the paperwork and photos they needed. My claim came to about $1900.

Today they say they sent me a check for $1200. It will barely be enough to cover the 2 collector edition Xbox ones and elite controllers I lost.

Is there anything I can I do to fight for a more fair settlement in this situation?

The implication here is that he's renting a storage unit for $2k worth of stuff. I really think I need in on this storage business.

Also that more than 50% of the value of the storage unit was on two XBoxes that would fit on a small shelf, with room to spare.

I can't remember if it was a YouTube video or an article I was reading that mentioned that Americans spend over $24 billion a year on storage units. Like... that poo poo is loving crazy. Even my parents have a couple of sheds full of stuff out back on the full acre they live on, though I keep trying to convince them to cut back.

They'll sometimes pop up on what I still call the "Google Now" feed - it looks like the ones for my city are only once every few months. So I guess a few times a year?

I had the same problem. The insurance company wouldn't reimburse me for the Jackson Pollock painting or my Action Comics #1 that I lost. Assholes.

Also just in general there is a surprising amount of people who carefully and meticously itemize and log their possessions, sometimes on video too, and the items are suddenly "stolen" or "torched from a sudden fire"

He probably thinks his "collectors edition" xbox is worth $500 since obviously it must increase in value. Its a collectors edition.

Leaving game consoles or other valuable electronics in a storage unit seems like a bad idea.

Dude recorded himself going into about $50,000 in debt as soon as the market opened yesterday after he abused a loop hole with Robinhood's trading.

quote:

With Robinhood Gold, you can use what's called Margin to trade with increased Buying Power. So I did an instant deposit of 2000 dollars (the minimum required to access Gold Trading), and then I bought 100 shares of AMD for 3,800 or so, with margin. Then I sold an AMD Call Contract with a 2 dollar price strike to get almost all my money back (it's important to find a stock that has Call Options with such low strike prices like Ford, GE, etc). Then I use that money to buy TWO hundred shares of AMD because remember, margin doubles my buying power, then I sell 2 Call Contracts witht he same 2 dollar strike price to get almost all my money back, which is then doubled again thanks to Robinhood's Margin. I repeat this until I am sufficiently leveraged for my Personal Risk Tolerance. Right now, I am at 25x leverage because I had 2000 dollars in Instant Deposits. I then use my increased buying power to maximize my gains.
