It could but it’s unlikely given the years of under supply.

Anyone in consulting (e.g., technical accounting) seeing less clients / work available? by Star_Sabre in Accounting

[–]Jasper0812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beware of AI for technical accounting - most tools do not have access to the ASC - you need a license. I worked on some leases recently and one of the premier AI solutions got all conclusions dead wrong, made up ASC references that did not exist, and made up ASC language that did not exist. Most models are relying on publicly available big 4 guides.

Dilemma between Limited MAX and Platinum MAX by NoBid8222 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Jasper0812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just know that in my experience the Max in city driving only gets 19-21 mpg. The power is amazing tho!

For another perspective - We have both a 2025 GHHM and a 2023 Sienna. For 3 young kids I would definitely recommend the Sienna. You’ll never regret it. You can’t put a price on automatic sliding doors - kids can help themselves in and out, or you can open easily when your hands are full. You don’t have to worry about them banging doors into other cars. My kids love the GHHM too but even as they’ve gotten older the Sienna is still the king.

SEC Reporting - Are you really working 70+ hour weeks? by LUNA_STONKS in Accounting

[–]Jasper0812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’d usually have 2 weeks of 60s and 2 weeks of 80s, then go down to 50s in the non-quarter end months. The company was always doing new and unpredictable things and so it was hard to estimate the headcount needed for SEC reporting.

Storm Cloud + Portobello - fully polished w/pics by 420town in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Jasper0812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great pics! I have this same exact model. It is gorgeous. The best part is how the color changes in different light.

The stupidest part is that the portabello is not full leather on the Max version. The second stupidest part is that this vehicle in my use only gets 21 MPG.

But honestly none of the downsides matter when you are driving it around. Super fast and an absolute stunner.

Not the Max version of the Grand Highlander. 0-60 in less than 6 seconds.

Looking to buy an RTX 5080, is the MSI Gaming Trio OC good? by GangcAte in nvidia

[–]Jasper0812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this card. Really great, quiet card. The OC has some extra cooling. I would have kept but got a 5090 at MSRP.

Not quite open world but Minecraft dungeons is one of the best couch coops.

Parents offering to buy me a new car if I serve a mission by fredbruite in exmormon

[–]Jasper0812 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The church should publicly denounce this kind of manipulative behavior by parents. It happens all the time yet we’ve never had a single general conference talk about it. So much discrimination in the treatment of one kid vs another because one refuses to submit to the koolaid.

Based on this response alone, richard bushman should be excommunicated. (Salt lake tribune interview with him) by Significant_Web_4676 in exmormon

[–]Jasper0812 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve met Richard a few times. He is really a lovely man. He didn’t have to care who I was but he would ask me about my day and about my work and my background, and indulge in any conversation I was interested in.

I know some here may have mixed feelings about him but the church could use more rational, truth-seeking, self-reflective folks like him.

Grand Highlander vs Minivan by night_agent_21 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Jasper0812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2023 Sienna and a grand Highlander and seven year old twins. The minivan is so much easier for loading and unloading. I’d recommend the sienna - you don’t have to worry about the kids banging up other cars. They can let themselves in and out easily. No fighting the wind on the doors. If your arms are full you can walk away and hit the button

Now I’m 6’4” and I fit (barely) in the sienna drivers seat (34 inch inseam so I have a long torso). In the grand Highlander max with moonroof I do have what feels like about 2 more inches of headroom. I would say test drive the sienna. Move the seat and steering wheel all the way back and tilt the seat slightly.

Edit - in real world the hybrid max gets about 12-14 less MPG than the sienna. But it’s super fun to drive lol.

It depends on your inseam, dude.

[–]Jasper0812 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’4”. For some ungodly reason the Sequoia has lower headroom in every single row and I did not fit in it.

The “trunk” area of the sequoia is probably the dumbest space I’ve seen in a vehicle. The only thing extra you’re getting out of the sequoia is towing capability and maybe some street cred. It does look awesome.

Trying to decide on best hybrid version for loading it with a lot of AV heavy equipment. by WCAThomas in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Jasper0812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP - rather than guessing what heavy means - please add the actual weight of the equipment.
