Always getting caught

Always getting caught

KPMG employee made about $22,000 in Polymarket, using “yes” or “no” contracts. The person made 42 bets and from all those bets, the person made 41 correct ones because 98% win rate is safer than 100% lol. All bets were based on companies beating their quarterly earnings. Person got caught by a forensic firm which they noticed that all the bets had something in common…they were all audited by KPMG.

Is there a convenient way to remove acid stain?

Had a mobile car wash my bike. I asked him if he can do my bike and he said yea. He didn’t know and at the time I don’t know that acidity products can stain the metals. So I don’t blame him, I didn’t know either.

It’s a new 2026 Honda Rebel 500. Guy washed it while I was at the office. Didn’t notice the stain until after work and quickly did my research and that same day I rewashed the bike with soap and water to hopefully reduce the chemical etching, which did help after the fact. But all my metal parts look oxidized and I came to accept it, still love my bike but was wondering if anyone has dealt with this and if the had a solution other than sanding it down and repainting?

In addition, the paint came out awesome and engine paint still looks good, just the smaller metal parts around the bike.

1100 worth the upgrade?

Returning rider here. Was working remote for 6 years and started a new in office job. So I bought a 2026 Rebel 500 for work commute. Love the bike but when on the highway I ponder if the 1100 be more comfortable in the 70-80 mph range. I’m on the highway 20 mins going to work and 20 mins going back home (commute is short). Is the Rebel 500 enough or should I upgrade to 1100 for my commute? I feel like 1100 would be easier to overtake cars on the highway but I heard mpg is slightly worse.

Edit:
Thank you everyone, after reading your comments, I learned I should just keep the 500 for a couple years (for financial reasons) and update later. I should have started with 1100 in the first place.

Gave Up Remote

I’ve been 100% remote since 2020 and it become normalized to me (workflow style etc). When I switched to cost accounting internally that’s when I finally burned out.

Got a new job this month and it’s full time in office. Commute is about 20 mins and there are no strict show up time or leave time. I kid you not, I haven’t felt so relieved and stress free to have work and home separation. When I leave my office, no one is bugging me and I have the rest of the day to do anything! While remote I felt like I was on the clock 24/7 working late until 1am on some occasions.

I just wanted to vent and share my experience that I thought it would have been worse being full time office. Remote work for accountants and finance is complete BS, same as unlimited PTO that I never used while at a Big 4.

Edit:
I apologize for my take in how I worded some of my experience as it comes off as in general to all remote. I let my emotions write. I was just unlucky I was employed by companies that took advantage of remote salaried staff. Don’t get me wrong I also see the pros of remote life and how it benefits families and peoples’ life styles. I just wanted to vent and share that healthy in office roles are better than unhealthy remote roles where organizations take advantage.
