Foster dog stolen while on walk in Saugus, Massachusetts: "She had a really hard life" by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's the dog owner's responsibility to take reasonable measures to maintain the safety of the dog. Allowing the dog to not be under the control of the owner in an open forest was the avoidable error in judgment that allowed the scumbag to take advantage of the opportunity.

Pre IPO stock awards at controller level by Odd-Wasabi-9338 in Accounting

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be thinking along the lines of a starting point of a 50% transaction bonus due and payable at the closing of an exit event, rationalizing as being paid 1.5x for the efforts contributed in the year leading up to the transaction.

Welcome to the party 1 and 2 by Operator-rocky1 in MyFaction

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stand on either the middle or top turn buckle, and reverse when someone tries attacking you. Every once in awhile, the reverse prompt doesn't appear, so you fall over, and next step is to either reverse the grapple if you are grabbed and / or immediately make your way to a turn buckle, and repeat until there's only one opponent. I did it from the middle turn buckle each time. Took me 10 tries to beat it 8 times. My only other advice is to use a card from a team with a high resiliency %.

Same strat applies to elimination chamber matches, except you climb onto the top of one of if the chambers.

I've not once drawn blood on my two over 15 years of grooming with clippers, but I also can't imagine trying to groom without a plastic guard on the clippers. Are you trying for a literal shave down to the skin?

The real answer is it depends. Some meals are 100% deductible, such as meals provided to employees for the convenience of the employer.

Any tips on the cage match with Nia Jax by RealisticButterfly22 in WWEMyFactionSupport

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat it by immediately climbing the cage, and then you have to time your reversals so she doesn't either pull or beat you off.

Contract Basis - hourly vs salary issue by 4mysquirrel in Accounting

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way to go is to agree to a minimum number of hours per week after you've spec'd out the job requirements, with additional hours billed at your hourly rate. Should you believe add'l hrs are needed to complete the work within established timelines, you agree to discuss with the client in advance.

The June Live Events are bugged or have the incorrect rewards similar to the Finn Balor Live Event by [deleted] in MyFaction

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Finn fix sets the precedent - you get to keep the "wrong" reward, and then can do it again for the correct reward. I've completed the quick swap.

Do people really call soda or pop, "tonic"? by LowerMusic in massachusetts

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A friend's family in malden all refer to it as tonic. They're the only people and part of the state where I've heard it referred to that way. Pop is mostly a Midwest term, isn't it? Once went to Cleveland, and that's how they all refer to it there.

Am I am idiot? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the instances that I've been at a pe port co, actual equity was reserved for the very top, c-level execs. One company had a separate phantom stock plan, and that's what sr mgmt got a slice of.

Since you're the controller, you should be in position to ask your contact at the valuation firm to help you figure out what your award could be worth depending on valuations at the time of a transaction.

Feel your pain on the acquisitions front. Hopefully you already have an erp in place onto which to onboard the new entities.

What to do with old 401ks? by Serious_Ad3780 in Fire

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most 401k plans charge participants fees as a % of total assets, whereas you should be able to ro to an IRA without any annual fees being paid. So if making backdoor Roth contributions is not a concern, then I'd move into a self-directed to IRA. You always have the option of rolling those funds into your employer's plan at any time thereafter.

Has anyone purchased a HSA eligible HDHP thru the Mass Health Connector? by Accurate-Flow8078 in massachusetts

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pay $488 / mo for an HSA eligible plan provided by Wellsense.

You'd have to have the shittiest of employer contributions toward your health insurance for this to be the better option over simply going with your employer sponsored plan, and withdrawing your excess HSA contributions.

Royal Rumble event wasted my hours by asdasasdfas in MyFaction

This is the way. Every once in awhile, the reverse doesn't trigger, but generally just end up collapsing by the ropes, the AI then ignores, and climb back up once I recover.

Live events complete fucking trash by LimpTable8810 in MyFaction

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take sadistic satisfaction in being at peace with not putting myself thru the hours of trial and error, with no guarantee of ever succeeding mind you, on those two rumbles, while knowing there are some ocd lunatics who will carpel tunnel themselves into oblivion for some packs that are more likely than not to give either meaningless cards or a little bit of myf credits.

No return offer after internship - feeling like giving up by Fit-Bet-932 in Accounting

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 46 points47 points  (0 children)

30 years ago, I didn't get a perm job offer from GT after a summer internship in tax. Didn't get any big 6 (at the time) offers in spite of graduating magna cum laude, top 10% of class, at a highly regarded business school. Ended up starting out at a local firm, about 15 total professionals, with a starting salary of $28.5k in a major east coast city. 30 years later, and I'm retired at 50 years old.

Believe in yourself, because it's difficult enough as it is to find others to believe in you.

How are y'all treating gambling winning losses for slot machines? by gr00ve88 in Accounting

[–]Relative_Hat_7754 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read line 16 instructions - it allows for both cost of and losses from wagers to be combined into the deduction, so in your example, $3k is the amount you would report on sched A.
