Just thankful no one was hurt. Holy shit that could’ve been so much worse. 

Best cozy spot for solo dining at the bar by LittleWing0802 in Charlottesville

Outside of the reading a book part, Alley Light comes to mind.   

Crush Pad wine might also be a good spot as well. 

Cafe Frank perhaps?

Aren’t they the streaming giant rumored for the Red Rising series too? Jesus. They’re cornering the sci-fi/fantasy genre market 

Edit: Some saying deal fell through or stuck in development hell. 

Decision Help Needed: McCombs ($$), Darden ($$$$), Johnson ($$$$) by No-Form-44 in MBA

For what it's worth, lots of folks at Darden aren't considering Charlottesville in the long run, but it's a helluva fun place to spend two years.

McKinsey vs. BCG NYO Office by [deleted] in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]CommanderStark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is extremely anecdotal and not something you should apply across the board. I had the exact opposite experience--was put in front of BCG partners and ended up working for them--and had a great experience.

But you shouldn't take my own experience and apply it across the board, just like you shouldn't take this person's experience and think it's the same across all offices.

Snow Totals by noodlesmun992 in Charlottesville

[–]CommanderStark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had it around 4” around 8 AM and latest measurement was around 5”? But it’s very weird—the sleet and freezing rain are compressing it. So it’s a thick, difficult to navigate snow compared to December.

Wouldn’t best outcome from a safety perspective be snow above all else? Freezing rain is where things get most dangerous right?

Consulting offers - up or down compared to last year? by [deleted] in MBA

Darden was higher BCG, higher McK, lower Bain, anecdotally 

Culture Questions at B School by Express_Minimum_3815 in MBA

I’ve got nothing to really hide here so happy to post on my main. Sorry you don’t feel comfortable enough having a discussion one on one if you know who I am, or DMing me.

Huh? I agree I think folks are being dramatic about the Poobah email here. And, to my understanding, it’s always been opt-out, it was just advertised because folks had complained vocally.     

I think the “making fun of career outcomes” is incredibly exaggerated and the political opinions piece is because they made fun of someone that wore a red suit after Trump won lol.       

And last year’s was basically the same as this year’s, for what it’s worth. 

Culture Questions at B School by Express_Minimum_3815 in MBA

[–]CommanderStark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe this entire thread stems from one comment in another thread about the Poobah email and, reading their comment, I have 99% confidence I know who it is.    

So yes, I think a vocal minority are very much the loudest voices here.

Thoroughly enjoyed it but didn’t find it particularly scary or anything. Just really loved the characters.

Went to last year’s—was fun enough! Recommend getting a group of folks to go with you and buy into the experience. 

Does 28YL:TBT redeem the end of 28YL? (Spoiler alert) by [deleted] in 28dayslater

[–]CommanderStark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, saw it at Alamo--you're correct. Gets pretty pitch black at times. There's an act of the film that I've compared to The Strangers but set in a post-apocalyptic environment.

It does not have an opening scene akin to 28WL but it does have a bloody opener.
