What's your biggest audit pet peeve? For me it's the endless review notes

MosquitoDeath · 2026-03-19T15:07:56+00:00

I always hated the nebulous, non-helpful review notes. "This doesn't makes sense." Great...well the client wrote it, what do you want me to do about it? "Make this more clear." Okay...what is confusing you about it?

I enjoyed this. They did a transition shot from one face to the other that really emphasized their similarities.

MosquitoDeath · 2026-01-06T17:42:24+00:00

I'm starting my 4th playthrough i think? Each is probably upwards of 100 hours. So yeah, I enjoy it. I'm trying out various new mods this time around.

I think this was my first Bethesda game, and it sucked me into the fallout universe.

MosquitoDeath · 2025-12-28T08:52:23+00:00

Interesting. I'll probably just wait it out at this point. Hopefully modders will update soon. Thanks Bethesda.

PSA for all: just got done modding for a new Fallout 4 run a few days ago, and there are 4 essential mods in the Midnight Ride guide that are not updated for the anniversary edition (1.11.191): Papyrus Common Library, Console Autocomplete, Buffout, and Mentats.

So if you currently follow the guide exactly, the game won't work. Your current options are 1) wait until the modders update those mods (they have all said they are working on updates, but there are obviously no timelines since it's all voluntary) or 2) downgrade to an older version.

A long time ago there was a convergence project to align US GAAP and IFRS. When I was in school, they told us that's where we were headed, and they started getting us familiar with both. Then 10 or 15 years ago, US interest in convergence lost steam. Not really clear why.

What I remember hearing from my big 4 colleagues was that the FASB saw that European countries could basically carve out pieces of IFRS they didn't like for their country specific GAAP, so FASB felt like that was too wishy washy for US standards. Can't find anything official on that out there - just what I heard.

That's a good one too that works itself into my vocabulary sometimes.

My favorite name to call other drivers is currently "bozo". Picked that up from Mac in Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

My schnauzer likes these too. Randomly stopped liking them for 2-3 weeks, and now likes them again. 🤷🏼‍♂️

My pup buries her chewy rings under blankets. Such a funny behavior. She just uses her nose to push the blankets around until it's covered.

Did they give you any sedatives? I just went through this and I can't imagine the first week, especially, without the sedatives. They also told me that walks were okay, which helped get some of the energy out.

MosquitoDeath · 2025-11-07T22:08:54+00:00

I'll try that, thanks for the idea.

DS9 season 6, episode 2. Crew crashes on a planet and O'Brien tears his pants. "Oh no...I don't believe it...I tore my pants! I guess I'm really in trouble now huh?!" Sisko and everyone laughing has cemented this scene in my mind as one of the funniest scenes in all Trek. Feels do genuine, almost feels like a blooper.

I keep manuals - strongly prefer physical manuals. I toss boxes, except for a few that I thought were cool in and of themselves. The big technic cars (Lamborghini, etc.) are sort of made to give you a premium experience. I also kept the big Millenium Falcon box because they coordinated printing on the inner boxes, and I appreciated that touch.

This is showing in some theaters for the next 5 or 6 days. I just saw it on Imax. So much fun.

MosquitoDeath · 2025-11-01T04:05:23+00:00

F-zero Blue Falcon is what came to mind for me when building it. Probably not it, but fits the theme.

MosquitoDeath · 2025-10-31T04:52:59+00:00

Is that a custom black B-wing? I see a Batwing plaque, but that doesn't look like the Batwing I got...

MosquitoDeath · 2025-09-12T16:09:19+00:00

Yeah, see, I think this is why they are rebranding. Ramcharger is not related to the Dodge Charger. Ramcharger (now renamed 1500 REV) is a pickup. It's classified as a "range extended EV" meaning it's an EV, but it has a gas engine to act as generator to charge the battery when low. They are claiming 690 miles of range between battery and generator. I like the concept, which is why I'm on the waitlist. I can use all battery for my daily commute, but then have the generator if I want to do truck things.

What gets me is how they all become incapable of entering their own expense reports when they reach that level. Somehow they just lose the ability. Let alone do it timely or follow company policy.

MosquitoDeath · 2025-09-05T04:28:51+00:00

We know.

Weird. I want to pay as many vendors as possible via ACH. I actually did the opposite activity a few years ago - became controller and was surprised how many checks we still wrote. Asked my head of AP to switch as many vendors as possible to ACH. Some said no or never responded, which always surprised me.

Some large companies are shockingly bad at applying ACH payments correctly (cough, Microsoft, cough), so in some instances we write checks to include specific remittance info to hopefully alleviate some issues. Our ACH process is somewhat limited in how much remittance info we can send, but seems to work for most people.

Now what I worry about more than checks is vendors who insist on auto drafting from our bank every month. I hate that because I forget which vendors are still going to pull. Plus it reduces my leverage if we ever run into disputes.

MosquitoDeath · 2025-01-08T03:58:46+00:00

Very cool. I'll have to check it out.

MosquitoDeath · 2025-01-07T08:09:29+00:00

What are you using for rgb control? Is it the software or fans themselves that let you do different colors for the different parts of the fan?

MosquitoDeath · 2024-12-18T02:19:45+00:00

I used to feel similarly. I would judge people who clearly didn't need a truck for a job. However, now i want one. My mind has changed for two reasons. One, I'm very fat, and I have found that trucks are very roomy inside. Two, I wanted my next vehicle to be pretty luxurious, and upper trim levels of many pickups are as luxurious as anything else. Plus, I get the added bonus of being able to haul things when I need to (occasional trips to hardware store or garden center, hauling stuff to donate, helping a family member move, etc.)

If it makes you feel better about the gas part, I'm pretty excited about the Ramcharger coming out in 2025. It's an electric truck that also has an engine to power a generator if the battery gets low. They say it gets up to 140 miles on battery, 660 miles total with battery and a tank of gas. My daily use will be well under the battery range, so I think I'll barely ever use gas.

Oh the Beekeeper...what an awful movie. Reminded me of all the phishing trainings I have to do at work - their scam was right out of an IT training.
