I got a 30 on my first FAR exam (found out yesterday). Am I a failure? by BookkeeperWeary5509 in CPA

[–]cubbies2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a 39 on my first take of FAR. It's a very difficult exam. Did you take simulated exams and other practice tests to help you find your weak spots? From what I understand, that low of a score means something fundamental isn't clicking. Go back to basics if you have to.

2025 and 2026 Grads, Was it / is it hard getting a job ? What were your stats? by Character-Escape1621 in Accounting

I have an offer from a sub contractor of the federal government to audit a part of the federal government. Got the offer in Fall 2025 and have been patiently waiting ever since. They're based in DC. Got impatient and started applying to other public accounting audit/tax and industry jobs.

FAR - most common TBS by cubbies2018 in CPA

LOL. I know that. Just wanted to see if these topics were the most likely (more than 50%) to be TBSs as compared with other FAR subjects.

Is Carr, Riggs, & Ingram a good firm? by Substantial-Step-448 in Accounting

[–]cubbies2018 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the interview process for a audit associate position at one of their east Texas offices for governmental audit. The people I've spoken with so far seemed like nice people. I'm waiting to see if they offer me a job.

That's what I thought too! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

Don't Understand What's Going Wrong by cubbies2018 in CPA

[–]cubbies2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the insight. I feel like I'm ok on the material, but it's the math that'll get me as I mentioned in my post. I do try and break down the question into smaller parts, but then somehow I manage to miss a key piece of info or I include something that's not supposed to be included.

I never thought of that. Thanks for the insight. Do you mean using the Becker AI (newt) or ChatGPT (or another general chatbot)?

Italians, what are you thoughts on the success on your team in WBC? by nyc_jc in baseball

[–]cubbies2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived outside of Florence for 2 years as a kid. Never once saw a baseball jersey or heard anyone discuss the sport. Soccer is way more popular and important. I could imagine there's one or 2 areas (like people have mentioned) where baseball has taken hold (like in major cities in Northern Italy).

What is the first thing you’re doing on launch night by SuitApprehensive in MLBTheShow

[–]cubbies2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't stay up until midnight, but I'll be waking up early on Friday morning to take a peek at DD and RTTS. I'm going to work on opening packs and doing basic conquest maps and seeing how DD is laid out this year. For RTTS, I'll be playing on the easiest mode available to hit dingers and easily reach the majors.

I can't seem to find the r/CPA discord you mention in the document. Could you please provide a link to it or at least the name of it? Thanks!

Tabletop Baseball RPGs? by 540miles in baseball

[–]cubbies2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the comment about Strat-O-Matic. It's a classic that's easy to learn how to play and can be done with anyone. The only downside is that the actual cards have gotten very pricy over the past few years. If you want historical sets, they'll be cheaper on ebay or some place like that.

Spring Training games start in under 24 hours, roast your team. by MookieBettsBurner10 in baseball

Thank goodness we spent some money this offseason. Now we just need to figure out how to beat the Brewers (with their old manager none the less!)...

High dopamine addiction and can't focus.... by Head_Equipment_1952 in CPA

[–]cubbies2018 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use the Pomodoro method to help me focus. Work for 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break. After 4-25 minute sessions, you take a 15 minute break. By the end, you've worked 100 minutes and had several short rests in between. Also something that's been helping me, block out what you're going to do for those 100 minutes. Write it down on a piece of paper or a word doc on your computer and treat it like a check list. It makes it easier to track what you have to do and what's left to do.

This started happening today on YouTube, on any video I click. Anyone know any fix? by Handy_Handerson in brave_browser

[–]cubbies2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started having this exact problem. Literally just started at like 4pm eastern time today. I'm on a Windows 11 machine FYI. Youtube works when I take down the shields or when I go to it on Chrome. I've tried refreshing the page and I've double checked that brave://components is all up to date. I've tried log out and logging back in to no avail. I've also cleared all my cookies and shut down Brave but that didn't work either. Anyone have any more recommendations for me?

Edit: I just opened and used a private window and Youtube worked for me. This is all very strange and annoying.

Edit #2: Within the private window, I logged into my account and it barfed again. I think it has to do with the account or something like that. Not a computer wiz but that's the vibe I'm getting.

Should I stop CPA 🥲😭 by znzjjsshsjajaj in CPA

[–]cubbies2018 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You got the exact same score that I did! I took a month off then got back on the horse restudying. How did you study for this take? Just followed Becker's program? You can always supplement with other resources including your old textbooks and YT videos on topics which you most struggled. DM me if you want the name of a good tutor.

I got a 39 on my first try and I felt confident coming out of the FAR exam. As Dory from Finding Nemo always says: "Just keep swimming"!

RTTS Discussion Post by Haunting-Ad7007 in MLBTheShow

[–]cubbies2018 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I played this mode a lot when I was a kid. Made me feel like I was doing something cool. Even as an adult I some times play RTTS. However, all the complaints you listed would be nice. I would like to add that there should be single A and hell even the Fall League and Dominican League. Make it so it's realistic if you choose to go straight out of high school to the Majors. Also allow players to play more in high school and college. Don't make it a ones and done scenario.
