Why is setting up a new phone such a dystopian fucking nightmare, EVERY DAMN TIME?
Should it REALLY take an hour or more of my time to set up a brand new phone with a brand new number and absolutely nothing special about it?
My youngest is getting his first phone tonight, and I am very grateful that he is my youngest, which hopefully means I'll NEVER have to do this nonsense again.
I'm kidding myself, obviously--he'll need at least one more phone before he leaves the house. Damn it.

The US has been locking up more people than any other nation on earth for MUCH longer than one decade.
Getting rid of Trump's extra dramatic fascism will only leave us patting each other on the back all relieved to get back to the much more solid, real thing.
@nazokiyoubinbou Most of them are probably too depraved to ever comprehend anything beyond their own egos.
All the rest of us really need to learn, honestly, is that we don't need them. We don't need their lies, their toys, or the stupid prizes from their stupid games. The minute people stop feeding their power, it crumbles. That takes finding better things to believe in.
@violetmadder I've been jailed in the U.S., 7 days once was the worst. But beyond my personal experience, I've known a fair number of people who served long sentences.
What's happening today is different from what happened then. It's not "dramatic fascism," it's death camps.

With the right tools, a consistent process, and support from corporate secretarial services, you can stay compliant without losing focus on your core business. Don’t wait for an audit or deadline to act—start building a robust system today.
Running a business in Singapore comes with a host of responsibilities, and statutory bookkeeping and record-keeping rank high among them. You may have heard these terms from your corporate secretarial service provider or in a compliance notice from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). While they might seem like administrative burdens, they’re critical for keeping your business compliant, organized, and ready for growth. Let’s unpack what they mean, why they’re vital, and how to manage them effectively.
What Does Statutory Bookkeeping Involve?
Statutory bookkeeping is the legally mandated process of documenting your company’s financial transactions. In Singapore, this is a non-negotiable requirement enforced by ACRA and the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Every business, whether a one-person startup or a large enterprise, must maintain accurate records of invoices, receipts, bank statements, ledgers, and contracts.
These records aren’t just for tax filings or audits. They’re proof that your business operates transparently and adheres to Singapore’s strict regulatory standards. From a small café to a tech startup, every company needs these records to demonstrate financial integrity.
Record-Keeping: More Than Just Numbers
Bookkeeping focuses on tracking financial data—sales, expenses, payroll, and taxes. Record-keeping, however, includes the supporting documents that validate those numbers, such as receipts, contracts, purchase orders, and transaction-related emails. Singapore law requires businesses to retain these records for at least five years, with no exceptions.
For example, if IRAS conducts an audit, they’ll expect more than a financial summary. They’ll want the invoices, receipts, and contracts that explain every transaction. Without these, your business could face penalties or lose credibility.
The High Cost of Non-Compliance
Failing to maintain proper records can lead to serious consequences. ACRA can impose fines on directors, often thousands of dollars, for inadequate bookkeeping. In extreme cases, directors could face legal action or disqualification. IRAS might disallow expense claims, leading to higher tax bills. Audits and investigations can also drain time and resources, diverting focus from your core operations.
Beyond regulatory penalties, poor record-keeping creates internal headaches. A small business might miss tax deductions due to lost receipts. A startup seeking funding might struggle to provide clear financials, deterring investors. For example, a freelance designer who neglects record-keeping might spend hours reconstructing expenses during tax season, losing valuable client time.
Why Small Businesses Often Struggle
Many small businesses and startups in Singapore view bookkeeping as a secondary task. Some think it’s only relevant during tax season or assume it’s a problem for larger corporations. Others rely on their accountant to handle everything at year-end. This approach is risky. Every business, regardless of size, must comply with the same regulations.
Without a dedicated finance team, small businesses can easily fall behind. This is where corporate secretarial services become invaluable, offering expertise to keep your records in order and your business compliant.
The Power of Corporate Secretarial Services
Corporate secretarial providers do more than file annual returns. They ensure your business complies with the Companies Act by maintaining statutory registers, preparing meeting minutes, updating shareholder and director records, and submitting required filings to ACRA. Many also support statutory bookkeeping, organizing your financial records and preparing them for audits or tax filings.
For small businesses, this support is a game-changer. Imagine a small e-commerce business owner managing inventory and customer orders. A corporate secretarial firm can handle compliance tasks, ensuring invoices are tracked, records are organized, and deadlines are met, freeing the owner to focus on scaling their business.
Technology as a Compliance Tool
Technology has made bookkeeping and record-keeping more accessible. Cloud-based accounting platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave, digital receipt apps, and automated bank feeds can streamline processes and reduce errors. But technology isn’t a complete solution. A folder of unsorted digital receipts or an outdated accounting platform won’t keep you compliant.
You need a clear system. For example, dedicate time each week to categorize expenses and reconcile accounts. Use software that syncs with your bank to track transactions in real-time. Store contracts and tax documents in a secure, organized digital folder, like Google Drive or Dropbox, with clear naming conventions. Regular oversight ensures these tools work effectively.
A practical tip: Use apps like Receipt Bank or Expensify to scan and categorize receipts instantly. Pair this with monthly account reconciliations to catch errors early. This approach minimizes the risk of missing documents or scrambling before deadlines like annual returns or tax filings.
The Strategic Value of Good Records
Statutory bookkeeping isn’t just about avoiding penalties—it’s about building a resilient business. During the COVID-19 pandemic, companies with well-maintained records were often the first to secure government relief grants or loans. In fundraising or acquisition deals, clean records build investor confidence and streamline due diligence. In legal disputes, thorough documentation can protect your business from costly battles.
Good records also provide actionable insights. A retail business might notice rising supplier costs, prompting a renegotiation. A tech startup might use cash flow data to plan product launches or hiring. For example, a small catering company could analyze expense records to identify cost-saving opportunities, like switching to a more affordable supplier without sacrificing quality.
Starting Simple and Staying Consistent
If statutory bookkeeping feels overwhelming, start small and stay consistent. Choose a user-friendly accounting tool like Wave or QuickBooks and set up a basic system for tracking income and expenses. Assign someone—whether it’s you, a team member, or an outsourced provider—to update records weekly or monthly. Use calendar alerts for key deadlines, like filing your Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI) or annual returns.
Partnering with a corporate secretarial firm can simplify the process. They can recommend tools, ensure compliance, and handle tasks like preparing AGM minutes or updating statutory registers. For example, they might remind you to submit your ECI to IRAS three months after your financial year-end, ensuring you avoid penalties.
The Takeaway
Statutory bookkeeping and record-keeping may not be the most exciting part of running a business, but they’re essential in Singapore’s regulated environment. Ignoring them risks fines, audits, and missed opportunities. Getting them right builds a foundation for compliance, clarity, and growth.
With the right tools, a consistent process, and support from corporate secretarial services, you can stay compliant without losing focus on your core business. Don’t wait for an audit or deadline to act—start building a robust system today.
Corporate secretarial services are an integral part of business management and compliance, particularly in the context of corporate secretarial services in Singapore.
Love these but I only own 2 of them. These are pro janitorial sprayers that never break down and under $2 each is a steal. I keep one just full of tapwater & sometimes I spray my Honeywell fan with it to clean it off. You should too.

Chris Burton was planning his wedding when he noticed he was bleeding after going to the bathroom.
He thought it was strange, but figured it was a one-off. Six weeks later, it happened again.
His GP referred him for a colonoscopy, and Mr Burton arranged to have the procedure after he and his wife returned from their short honeymoon.
The 39-year-old had advanced bowel cancer. The test results stunned him.
"That's probably similar to a lot of young people. Cancer's not at the forefront of what you think might be wrong with you," he says.
Australians aged in their 30s and 40s are experiencing unprecedented and in some cases world-leading rates of at least 10 different types of cancer — and scientists are desperate to understand why.
It's a question Mr Burton has struggled with since his diagnosis and one that's arrived at what should be a joyous time — the couple's about to have a baby, a little sister for their older daughter Isobel.
"That's the 3am thoughts that go through your head … have you done something to deserve it?" Mr Burton says.
The technical term for this phenomenon is early onset cancer and it is rising steeply.
Data provided to Four Corners by Cancer Australia, the federal government's cancer agency, paints a concerning picture for young people.
Between 2000 and 2024 — in 30 to 39-year-olds — early onset prostate cancer increased by 500 per cent, pancreatic cancer by 200 per cent, liver cancer by 150 per cent, uterine cancer by 138 per cent and kidney cancer by 85 per cent.
Some increases, such as prostate cancer, might be explained by changes in the way they are diagnosed — but most cannot.
"There are approximately 10 [cancers] that have this increase to varying percentages," says Cancer Australia's chief executive, Dorothy Keefe.
"Cancer has traditionally been a disease of aging, and bowel cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, they all increase with age.
Australia isn't the only country seeing higher rates of cancer in young people either. Large amounts of data from US cancer registries show an even more pronounced trend.
Philip Rosenberg, a leading cancer bio-statistician who recently retired from the US National Cancer Institute, says there is a clear difference when comparing cancer rates between generation X and baby boomers.
"There were really very notable differences, for colon, rectum, thyroid, and pancreas, and as well prostate for men and ER (oestrogen receptor) positive breast cancer for women," Dr Rosenberg says.
...
"In the youngest group of people that developed early onset colorectal cancer, we're seeing a much higher proportion that have a particular type of DNA damage pattern," he says.
That generational difference is so pronounced, he says he can tell whether a person is young or old from their tumour's DNA.
He says it suggests that there are factors or "exposures" that are contributing to an earlier diagnosis age for a group of colorectal cancers.
...
Instead, most experts believe toxins or toxic influences in the world around us are interacting with genes to cause malignant changes.
In other words, you might unknowingly carry a gene that's only altered when you're exposed to a particular chemical, whereas someone else who doesn't have that version of the gene would be unaffected.
"Cancer is not a single disease, it is many different diseases," explains associate professor Gianluca Severi, a senior cancer epidemiologist based at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris.
"Within a disease that is called breast cancer, there are actually many diseases, but we know that there are different subtypes of breast cancer.
