I'm Katy, one of the travel-obsessed Navigators at Jack's Flight Club. For the last 5.5 years, I've spent my days trawling the internet for genuinely great flight deals and off-beat travel tips to send to the club.

Thanks to all the hacks I’ve learned along the way about the best time to buy flights, when airline "sales" are actually worth it, and which OTAs are worth the trouble, I’ve been able to travel to 54 countries so far, mostly on a budget.

Considering how pricey jet fuel and travel in general is at the moment, we’re actually still finding excellent round trip fares, like Toronto to Dublin for CA$119, LA to Auckland for US$568, Atlanta to Puerto Rico for US$152 and Edinburgh to New York non-stop for £398.

I'm here to help answer any questions you have about saving cash on travel, especially over holidays, and finding cool new destinations along the way.

If we get lots of questions in, I may call on some of my fellow Jack’s flight nerds to help answer later on.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with Casper Kelly, writer-director of 2014's Adult Swim special TOO MANY COOKS and BUDDY, which is a horror that premiered at Sundance earlier this year and is out in theaters everywhere now. It stars Cristin Miloti, Topher Grace, Keegan-Michael Key, Clint Howard, Patton Oswalt, Michael Shannon, and Eric Bauza.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 3 PM ET today, Thursday 9/3, to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

Edit (4:07 pm EDT): Thank you everyone for your thoughtful questions! We enjoyed talking; feel free to reach out to us (Brittany contact info and Ilica contact info) if you have story tips or want to talk.

One young woman who had lived in Foundations for Living in Mansfield, Ohio, found me here on Reddit. Then my phone number was shared over and over again. Sometimes, I spoke on three-way phone calls with teens who said they had survived unimaginable abuse at residential treatment centers. 

I interviewed kids all over Ohio, but this group of young women stood out. They requested their own records. They showed up at the place that traumatized them to get their papers. They leaned on one another. We helped tell the story of their survival through friendship. They educated me on the system that they say made them worse. They told me to look into Fox Run Center for Children and Adolescents, one of the largest residential treatment centers in Ohio. Children as young as 5 are sent there. (A month after I published my investigation with my colleague Ilica Mahajan, the CEO was arrested for unlawful sexual contact with a minor.) 

I requested 911 calls and police reports from the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office, which responds to the facility. I learned that Fox Run is owned by Universal Health Services, a Fortune 500 company that has been investigated by the federal government for systemic abuse at its facilities (including the Utah facility where Paris Hilton was held). 

Our investigation found that kids desperately wanted to escape what was supposed to be a therapeutic haven in Ohio. Instead, they found themselves confined for months — and sometimes years — inside an institution where they witnessed kids routinely attacking and sexually assaulting each other, anarchic riots by children pushed to the breaking point, and more. 

The story doesn’t stop there, though. Jaycee Seele, the first residential treatment survivor I spoke to, who was placed at Foundations for Living, another UHS facility, showed me how young people can get records to prove what happened to them. We developed a toolkit for people who have lived in these kinds of facilities. It walks you through the medical records you are entitled to and the public records you can request.

Ask us anything about residential treatment centers or the “troubled teen” industry, starting @ noon EDT Sept. 3.

Hey r/entrepreneur, I am Ambrish, founder and CEO of Rivo.

I have built autonomous systems for most of my life, including at Amazon and Cruise, where I led AI during the launch of commercial robotaxi service in San Francisco.

I left to build something I hadn't seen applied to personal finance: self-driving money.

Rivo was born from a frustrating personal experience. My former wealth manager had left my hard-earned money earning 0% because he needed "explicit instructions" before moving it, while continuing to charge a 0.65% management fee. That experience made me realize there had to be a better way to manage idle cash.

The more I looked into it, the bigger the problem got. U.S. households hold nearly $6 trillion in transaction accounts, much of it earning close to nothing. Not because people don't care, but because they're busy, and the system was designed to profit from that.

So I built Rivo. It securely connects to your existing bank account, monitors your cash flow to identify cash you aren't likely to need, moves it into U.S. Treasury Bills, and brings it back before the bills are due. You keep your bank and never have to manually transfer money.

We've raised $3.1M in total funding, backed by South Park Commons, 645 Ventures, 20VC, Wisdom Ventures, Script Capital, and Jag Duggal (former CPO at Nubank). Our team includes leaders from Personal Capital, Mint, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, and Microsoft.

Happy to go deep on anything:

• Leaving a high-profile AI role to start from scratch
• Fundraising as a first-time founder (what worked, what didn't)
• Building in fintech: compliance, banking partners, regulators
• Applying autonomous systems thinking to personal finance
• What we got wrong early
• How we think about the idle cash problem
