PC gamer protip for notifications about giveaways on your phone. With IFTTT (free app that links APIs), use Reddit's applet for getting alerts for company name mentions configured to "subreddit:gamedeals free". Bunch of people post links to sales on that sub, including free stuff, and this way I don't have to proactively visit it. Picked up a few titles this way so far thanks to the "free" company getting mentioned 😉

I have a deadline to respond to a Motion for SMJ in 1 1/2 weeks. I just found out that my grandparents who I haven’t seen since the start of the pandemic will visit this week. I want to spend as much time as possible with them but it will be hard with my response due. I really don’t want to tell the Court that I am seeking an extension for personal reason, what would be a good reason to provide? I clearly don’t want to misstate anything but is there some general, vague language that can be used?

Anyone familiar with the culture of working at ADIA and how they run their transactions ? Is it very team based ? Do you expect they would be very intense working culture vs someone used to NY transaction work?

Currently at a T2, thinking about applying to an MBB . Question for you MBB 🐠 — if I have a referral and a solid resume, is it pretty much a guarantee that I will get an interview?
