    I'm just thinking that if we do not round out the accounts now, then there will need to be a bunch of offsets to make up for at each financial institution. Example being, 15 years from now I am going to close my account and it's balance is 115.12 , either the bank or the person will need to take a loss. Which will it be? Maybe I'm overthinking it. But there are always challenges with things like this in the accounting world.

    I'm super nervous what this means for financial institutions that now have to round up or down. I'm assuming this would be the case right?

    I started going through the course, and I like it so far. Thanks for sharing. I've learned a few things that will be beneficial for some projects I'm working on.

    I believe I am early to the course because there are a couple videos that say coming soon at the end. However they are not necessary for the course, just nice to have.

    Like others have mentioned, this might not exist for a reason. Open or closed loop geo thermal normally works best with the proper heat pump and coil. This would require an inside unit in a crawl space/ basement and air would be distributed by a blower to ducts. I am wondering if doing a ground loop to an outside unit, and then to mini split heads would be inefficient. But I'm not sure.

    Totally agree, but I wanted to share before this gets traction and it's too late.

    Alright then, let's not dye anything. That's really where I was going with it. I don't care if my food is a specific color unless it's naturally supposed to be that color.

    Can we please just get rid of any food dyes that are not natural? Their only need is to market food differently.

    I applaud you for sticking it out for a doctorate, good on you. I just don't know if the content creation or instructor lead positions are going to get you the salary you are looking for. If you can pivot to looking at companies that produce content that resell it? Maybe this would be more in your range? Unfortunately having a doctorate doesn't always mean high wages.
