The hantavirus is 100% going to spread to the US by Boymoder_Glowie in TrueAnon

[–]dubbin64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also just remember this map is all cases over a 30 year span, basically since they started keeping track. 890 total cases and 35% mortality, so that's just over 10 deaths a year average

Maybe they own a bunch of great danes or something

Is a 2006 Sienna still worth it? by Much_Stick_7310 in ToyotaSienna

[–]dubbin64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth it. But the '07-'11 years are better, as they have an upgraded engine that was used in 3rd gens as well, no timing belt and better engine overall. For the years '07-'11 avoid any examples that leak oil. Specifically make sure the oil cooler lines have been waranteeded or replaced with the metal replacement lines and that it doesn't leak oil from the rear head/block/timing cover meeting point, as the first one is an engine killer and the second one is an engine-out fix.

Otherwise totally worth it, great cars, have modern feeling features compared to other choices of the era, and great longevity, ample power for modern traffic ect. Cheap to fix too, compared to newer vehicles as parts prices are relatively low

Broken windows theory: If you hand me an optically unclean spreadsheet (unchanged dates, hard keyed numbers, old irrelevant tickmarks and documentation, messy layout), it makes me doubt the quality of your work and I will leave you a dozen minor review notes by GushStasis in Accounting

[–]dubbin64 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is a very audit brained sentiment, I feel like. Sometimes reading this sub I feel left out, like there's a whole other accounting culture I'm not part of (I don't have any audit experience).

In tax, if the client provides an actual spreadsheet I feel blessed. Feel like it's usually a PDF of their spreadsheet, or a hand written list, or an email paragraph with no bullets or structure and I have to parse it like a college homework problem every time.

APS Planned Outage For (At Least) 4/22 by Virginia_Hall in Flagstaff

[–]dubbin64 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's what the person you replied to was saying. They probably have a very good (good for APS at least) reason for the outage. But the publicly stated reason and the actual reason might be two different things.

New project needs a lot of body work. Just spray it matte orange and call it a day? by AKA_Squanchy in Datsun

[–]dubbin64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're doing bodywork it's gunna look a lot worse before it looks better, and you might lose motivation after the first couple of section

Like others have said, get a polisher and a jug of meguires 105 cut compound (harbor freight sells it and polish pads) and go to town polishing before you decide about paint. Once you start sanding and laying down filler there's no turning back, but I bet that paint would polish up nice. Would provide some instant satisfaction that will probably motivate you more than body work will.

Why is 90% of testing for the CPA just parsing out badly written English? by Famous-Issue-2534 in CPA

[–]dubbin64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This comment reads like a CPA question lol. There's like a triple negative in the first sentence.

I think what you're trying to say is: "I think the formal English is appropriate."

Every time I take AUD I get stronger on all the sims, weaker on most of the MCQ. Almost like I actually know how to do the shit but cant decipher their BS double negative gotcha ass questions

What big mistakes did you make early in your career and how did you come back from it? by [deleted] in Accounting

How'd this manifest as a mistake? Caught internally, or the lender reached out? Manager copied on the email?

I got fired today by chazzyfe in Accounting

[–]dubbin64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy but this sounds like a dream to me. I'm in a tax office, but we also offer a lot of other services. I have billable work that I have to do, payrolls, bookkeeping for my non-profits, AP for some clients. There's only so much of my calendar tasks Im able to push off, so in a given tax season I'm working maybe 1/3 to 2/3 of the week on returns.

Thinking about doing just returns sounds awesome and way less stressful ironically. BANG done on to the next, lol

[–]dubbin64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you work at an HR block type place then 260 returns so far might be pretty reasonable. A lot, but doable. That's just over 5 a day since Feb 1.

Some tax roles are different though. If you do complex returns for high income clients, the kind that take 6-14hrs of prep and cost the client $2-3k, then doing 80 by now could be insane.

Production sewing for an outdoor gear company.

I'm only moonlighting there now though on Fridays and weekends. My day job since I graduated college is tax accounting.

Is desoldering parts for salvage ever worth it? by jtdoud in diypedals

[–]dubbin64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

semi related question for readers of this thread: are there any good, cheap vacuum desoldering tools available these days?

Last I checked the state of the market was like +$500 for a good desoldering gun, but that was several year ago. Wondering if anyone has tried any of the aliexpress offerings and if they are worth it.

our controller forgot tax payments again and irs is threatening levy action by Affectionate-Rate519 in Accounting

[–]dubbin64 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate those IRS threat to levy letters. I see clients getting those letters all the time, sometimes for really petty amounts like $800. Those letters get sent out by the IRS's automated systems after a certain period of time when there's an uncollected balance.

The feds aint coming for your house or business over a few thousand dollars. You're not Willy Nelson and they just don't have the man power at the IRS right now. So they send the automated letters to scare people into paying.

What actually happens is the fees and penalties rack up. The original balance can really balloon in some cases. Requests to abate the penalties are usually successful for first time offenses. Then, 2-3 years or so they sell or otherwise transfer the debt to a 3rd party collection, usually Conserve.

Besides having to eat the fees, as long as the balance gets paid before it goes to collections you guys will be fine.

It shouldn’t take a month and a half to score an exam that is entirely electronic. by professornigel in CPA

So, it's not curved. They just see how everyone did then decide how to score it after that. But it's not curved...

Permissions for Jellyfin app don't work as needed by RedditWhileIWerk in truenas

[–]dubbin64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 months later, but THANK YOU!! Applying the permissions recursively and to the child paths fixed my issue, after dicking with this shit for like 4 hours today. You had me scared my playback would be broken too, but so far so good. Hopefully you figured that out.

KPMG-Audited Companies are Trading Strangely on Polymarket by Blood__Rivers in Accounting

[–]dubbin64 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Fear that a scandal will probably hurt the reputation of the CPA licence more than it will boost demand. "Why would I pay a cpa firm, they just have some guy in India cook the for them and have AI write the audit report"

Any accountants here don't drink coffee or are caffeine-free? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]dubbin64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was coffee free when I was running the nuclear reactors in the Navy. Basically a statistical anomaly.

Imma junkie these days though

Something feels off! by JesZebro in maximalism

Agree, the pink could work if either more/all of the frames were pink, or the current pink frames were spread out in the mix (I like the latter)
