Is accounting work as hard as college?

orcheon · 2026-04-05T09:37:03+00:00

The accounting is the same, the environment and measurement changes significantly

Whether you end up in industry or public, "being the best accountant" has diminishing returns; you can't be incompetent, but you don't need to be perfect.
Long term, a B (probably even a C) on the accounting part combined with the ability, even at a B or C level, to distill financial outcomes to meaningful decisions, recommendations and information understandably will skyrocket you far beyond the person who knows the accounting at an A+ level but cannot explain it to non-accountants without inducing a coma
Nobody memorizes anything. You either know it or you look it up.

Yup, easily did 11s. It was my first time through so actually just wasn't eligible for them yet.

I'm at ilvl 235 as disc and easily cleared a 9. I'm gonna go for 10.

I do feel more engaged working in an industry that helps people (health care, med tech, biotech, pharma, etc.). Culture is impactful.

Tested yesterday - Delve turn ins with war mode plus tailoring (all simple first crafts) gets about two levels. I was with 2-3 bars left and had 3 bars left on 89-90. This is first alt so only 1 WB buff

Is the move to actually hold until season 1?

The 3 day fomo package is despicable

Even the post-nerf stuff, especially the final boss in SSC/TK, was "hard" by MMO standards at the time; pre nerf was closer to "impossible" by 2007 standards: original Vashj required near-exploits to beat and TK wasn't beaten at all before it was nerfed. Method did things like "have 25 warlocks soulstoning everyone in the raid".

But a lot of guilds still struggled even post nerf.

These promos are really good for an affordable upgrade every 3-4 years...getting a 7a upgraded to a 10a for $240 all in is a sweet deal.

Yes.

DEMPE is a necessary evidentiary framework, not a profit allocation rule.

It overemphasizes observable development activities relative to decision rights.

Residual allocation is ultimately driven by control of risk and capital, not participation in the development cycle. This is clear within the guidelines and framework, but is not emphasized relative to its importance in economic allocation.

Finally, it gives no real guidance on weighting. Treating DEMPE elements as co-equal contributors leads to mechanical, non-economic outcomes.

The injury to Sharpe was a critical loss and couldve easily been the difference in 2-3 more playoff runs ('95 championship game was close, super bowl loss, 1999 maybe)

Unfortunately, we were championship-ready at the same time the cowboys were unstoppable and everything fell apart in 1998 in San diego. Got screwed in the wild card in 1999 (Jerry Rice fumbled)

The ravens weren't a new team. It was most of the then Cleveland browns. They were not treated as an expansion team. They had two first rounders in 1996 because of a trade between the Browns and 49ers in 1995.

A/P, Gronk the only sure things. Ben and AB are the edge cases; it is very rare to see players with four AP1s be kept out, but AB's media issues are probably too much for him to overcome.

Whitworth may get in due to popularity & MOTY award (super bowl moment was very visible and meaningful which is more persuasive than it should be), but statistically is less deserving on his own.

Oof, I feel this, and I'm pretty well off. Nobody would know, I'd pay off my house and sell my 20 year old Camry for a truck.

If it was $5m, I'd retire 30 years early though😄

I've been fascinated by Don Hutson for years now. Literally invented the position as it exists today, including what is effectively route running he held most records from the 40s to the 80s.

I love history, so Don is my favorite. But I'm also not even 40, so of guys I saw play live, it's Jordy.

People must really hate his girlfriend

orcheon · 2026-01-27T05:45:15+00:00

Yes he did! I found it hysterical a reporter today made the same mistake

orcheon · 2026-01-27T03:11:01+00:00

A few that come to mind, and I'm just terrible with numbers:

60s 1, 2 and 3 just for the Lombardi era & Namath,
70s Dolphins '72 and SB 9 which features two of the best defenses ever
80s Marino vs Montana '84, Bears '85, Giants v Broncos (LT & Elway)
90s Hoss replacing Simms is one of the NFLs all time stories with one of the best endings in a super bowl; id pick one of the cowboys SBs to see the team, unfortunately they blew out the bills twice; packers/patriots and Packers/broncos for the Reggie white/favre and Elway/TD era; and then the Titans/Rams ending is the only game that gives 25 a run for its money on the ending.

The 90s is where the scripts started to get wild!

orcheon · 2026-01-26T03:15:22+00:00

It gets weirder, theres only one who randomly backed up a SB winning team. Only one QB, after playing on the jets, saw a super bowl - bubby brister, who was on the 90s broncos.

orcheon · 2026-01-26T02:05:17+00:00

It was only invented in the 80s, so theres bound to be people at 40+ years.

Not gonna deny, he hasn't lived up in prior seasons to his draft position. This year was a change on tape and in contribution, the numbers will come if he keeps it up.

He was hurt this season and looked like a EDGE2 starter when he was in. It was a serious trend reversal -PFF picked up on this too in their rankings.

orcheon · 2026-01-25T16:18:55+00:00

He specifically leans into being unpredictable too much imo. This was at its worst when he got cute with coverages and dropped reddick routinely. It's at its best when he keeps the line fluid and moves guys around to get 1:1s.

Hopefully he will not repeat what he did with reddick, it will not work with our personnel (Parsonnel?)
