Angel from Cohere reminded me of this one today: It you have a shared kitchen, and members who use it with any degree of regularlity, expect your forks to disappear over time. It's hilariously common but nobody talks about it.
On the other hand, if you open your doors without a core member base you don't have to worry about the fork problem. I kid. It's way better to buy a box of forks once in a while than to have a drawer full of forks that nobody uses. Think of the forks. ;) -Alex P.S.
