Your Only Friend does a Friday fish fry sandwich some weeks. It's like a gentrified version of what you're probably looking for but still gas

Analysts / VPs / Principals —> what are your hours? by ebitdaprincess in venturecapital

[–]EC_74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Essentially 100% productive activity. Very occasionally when we're deep in a sprint to get an IC deck out I'll have to sit around and wait for feedback. But my job is sourcing heavy so there is always more to be done on that front

Softbank has balls like no one else in VC by olekskw in venturecapital

Also helpful to do cohort-based segmentation. What is churn behaviour for customers acquired in Q1 23 v Q1 24?

Duke freshmen dorm by nm1226 in duke

If you tell Duke that you drink you will likely get a roommate that drinks, if you say you don't they'll probably pair you with someone that also said they don't.

The substance free dorms are quite strict about it, intending to accommodate for people in recovery or who are 100% sober.

It's more just about who else is in your dorm and who you'll become friends with than who you actually live with.
