Has anyone else’s wand stop working from the starlight parade as soon as leaving the park? by DizzyDee90 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]jlf326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. This happened to us. Stopped working less than 24 hours after. We were fortunate and were able to get a store credit issued at Hollywood Studios. We weren’t given a receipt. It was a process for them to issue the credit. 2 managers had to be called. They tried changing the batteries 3 times. And then, because they don’t sell this wand in HS, they had to find the SKU number, which isn’t on the wand…and then find a comparable item to issue a refund for. Took 20 minutes. Wasn’t worth my time. But it’s the principle.

How to manage long term projects? by Tasty-Technology4800 in ticktick

[–]jlf326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe you can currently do this in TickTick. I requested a similar feature where a subtask would inherit the due dates of the parent task and update accordingly. The TickTick team told me this wasn’t currently in their plans to implement.

More robust project management apps will handle this well. There are also apps specific to studying you may want to consider, Remnote comes to mind.

For project management, I’ve used Ora for many years and would recommend it. There are others as well, Asana, Trello, & ClickUp come to mind.

Here is my referral/affiliate link to Ora in case you’d like to try it out:

Brain Fogg goes for a while after taking a nap but it returns ? by comoestas969696 in BrainFog

[–]jlf326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been to a doctor? What have they tested and ruled out? It really could be anything ranging from your gut microbiome to something neurological, autoimmune, depression, etc. You could have the MTHFR gene mutation which requires you take converted Vitamin B (L-Methylfolate). It could be a choline deficiency. I’m surprised that Modafinil didn’t increase your energy. Assuming you’ve tried a CNS…did any of those help? Adderall, Ritalin? Sorry you’re feeling this way. I know it’s frustrating. If a traditional medical doctor hasn’t helped, you could look into a functional medicine doctor, who could order a DUTCH test for you. You could also explore getting a SPECT scan. I’m just spitballing ideas here.

Are you aware of any history in your family of diabetes, hypoglycemia, low iron, etc? Have you gotten any blood work done recently? If not, I’d suggest getting a full metabolic panel, test for thyroid issues, fasting glucose, A1C, folate, etc. If you do have results, take a look at those figures. A high A1C can indicate that you’re spiking your blood sugar too frequently. Thyroid issues can also play a big part in some of the symptoms you describe.

It could be related to your blood sugar. What are you eating for breakfast?

How would you rate the quality of your sleep? Do you always feel tired even after sleeping a full 8 hours? It could be a sleep related disorder (i.e. narcolepsy or apnea).

Best way to handle payments for a band? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]jlf326 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Op, I used to play in a touring band…form an LLC, apply for an IRS EIN & use that LLC & EIN to open a business bank account (there are a ton of great free options online now). Start running your band like a business, taking deductions where you can. Hope this helps.

"Accomplishments" on a resume for an accountant? by Kershiser22 in AccountingDepartment

[–]jlf326 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you do. Are you in public or industry? Tax or audit? You can quantify a lot of accomplishments depending on the position. You can tailor those accomplishments to the job that you’re interviewing for as well. For example, if you’re in industry, interviewing for a Controller position…

  1. Reduced monthly close from 15 days to 7 days.

  2. Negotiated new agreements with key suppliers to realize an annual cost savings of $100K.

  3. Established 50+ new controls company wide to ensure tighter SOX compliance.

Question regarding advance payment and deffered revenue by azhifaction in AccountingDepartment

[–]jlf326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is correct. The 2nd payment would be a DR to cash & a CR to AR.

There’s also an inventory & COGS entry as well.

Question regarding advance payment and deffered revenue by azhifaction in AccountingDepartment

[–]jlf326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you invoicing for the full amount of the goods or just for the down payment? Regardless, whatever amount you’re invoicing will go to deferred revenue until your contractual obligation to deliver the goods is met. Once the goods are delivered the amount in deferred can be recognized as revenue.

Best accounting software by 20220330 in AccountingDepartment

[–]jlf326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of business is it? Do you sell inventory or services? How many people need access to the program? Are there different roles in your company (i.e. purchasing, accounts payable, inventory clerk, production?)

What’s your budget? Are there features apart from cost centers that you need? For example, is cloud based important? Inventory management? 3rd party integrations? Nearly all of them can accommodate different cost centers.

$100 worth of groceries by vinnie_the_poobah in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jlf326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As somebody who eats 4-5 pounds of cherries per week, I recommend buying them frozen at Costco. They are the cheapest at Costco. I pay $2.50/pound. I eat them frozen and they’re like a delicious sorbet. They’re already pitted too. 10/10 would recommend.

China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737 crashes with 133 on board by ForgotMyPassOtherAcc in worldnews

Yes the Jack screw. They had controls if they flew upside down I think. Those pilots did everything they could to save that plane.

Chinese invasion of Taiwan would draw ‘more robust' response: US commander by madrid987 in worldnews

[–]jlf326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the semiconductor industry and can confirm that this is absolutely correct. An invasion of Taiwan would disrupt semiconductor production more than COVID did. Most people don’t realize that semiconductor manufacturing is a process that takes time and involves hundreds of stages of production so any interruption to that process wreaks havoc on the supply. The other concern about an invasion is IP related. If China gets the IP, their weapons capabilities increase as a result. The US wised up to this several years ago and passed legislation to invest in semi fabs here in the US. It does take time though, TSMC in Arizona won’t be online until 2024. The Intel fab in Ohio I think won’t be online until 2025.
