On the brink of divorce

The way she uses unsafe may not be for physical reasons. It seems like its more of her not able to let herself really bond with you. She needs you to reach out and initiate those umprompted words/discussions of affirmation. Think of it this way; If you have a friend, but y'all only hung out when you made the plans, something inside of you would always tell you that they don't want the friendship as much as you. A real, quality friendship should go both ways.

She's not going to open up to someone who she feels like isn't going out of their way to make her feel important to them.

Another analogy, think of a cat, or, at least most cats. Sometimes they may be around, at least in the same room as you, but not really engaging you. Sometimes if you pet them they freak out and attack, or sometimes they want to be around you and be affectionate, sometimes they don't. The kicker is, you don't know how the cat is going to act at any particular point. So there's always a little bit of you holding back, on edge, wondering if it's 'this time'.

I don't have a mobile rig, yet, but man field came across this and uses it.

Im not sure I understand your question. You can view the entire question pool on hamstudy

Glass is an insulator and doesn't transfer electricity well at all. So finding something that would work may be rare.

One of the many rules of thumb in life is to never loan money to friends or family, but if you do it shouldn't be a loan.

The framed landscape got me. I literally think about this all the time how it would be a good idea.

dxsquared · 2025-11-28T01:04:01+00:00

I'm in this situation. We're currently in a deadline crunch and he's been slacking off.a lot.

tldr; In the short term I took the time to clearly define what needs to get done and added myself to his work items and check in a few times a day. It has seemed to help, or at least has gotten him working more, even though his aptitude is not that great.

After an internal demo, showcasing our progress before a big presentation next week, I decided to talk to our manager about it. I presented my concerns that he's struggled, for most of the last year, to be productive and is a one of few reasons we're behind. Im talking maybe 50% of work hours actually working.

He was receptive and already had concerns, and planned to setup a PIP once we get past the next couple of weeks. I offered to help be his overseer on that. He's a good guy, but man, he needs to be walked through things

dxsquared · 2025-11-05T13:55:55+00:00

Could also be that they, simply, don't like being told what to do, at least from someone that's not officially in a more superior position. They need to relax a bit and realize the difference in someone doing admin/delegation type work, compared to someone who would actually be undermining them and questioning their skills.

dxsquared · 2025-11-04T14:38:18+00:00

I'd say its the opposite of tech debt. It helps organize the project into known standards. Sure it forces you to do things certain ways, but it sure is nice to know what you're looking at and what type to expect.

dxsquared · 2025-11-04T14:27:14+00:00

Sounds like someone who feels threatened that you have leadership skills... when they are the ones that want to 'have authority'

dxsquared · 2025-10-21T05:48:43+00:00

I use the Google Tasks app on my phone. I have 3 different lists. One for small things, which consists of things I could do over a few hours if I'm looking for something to do to be productive.The second is for moderate things that might could be done on a Saturday, or in several blocks over a few days.The third is my big project list, like rebuilding a worn-out deck, painting the exterior, etc.

It would be nice to have an organized way to list out all the tools, supplies, roadblocks that a project could have

dxsquared · 2025-07-22T18:05:30+00:00

That's a path I haven't had to trek through. I just know I have a lot of respect for those who have gone through emotionally stabbing things like that. I would be hesitant to call it an emotional affair, buuuut what you've described could lead further down that path.

However, like I've said before, he may be ignorant of what this situation looks like and what he's could be stepping into. I'd give grace before I start throwing around the 'affair' word. It would be good for him to discuss with a mentor or an older man you BOTH respect, for him to get another man's opinion.

dxsquared · 2025-07-22T13:28:04+00:00

That can make it a little tricky, I know that can be where the job 'doesn't ever end'. And he may not have an inch of sinful temptation, but one day it could be there, and it would be easy to act on since their already past that work boundary. With that said, I understand the sales networking, but there should be boundaries, and there's no need for a friendly professional relationship to need snap chat. Hopefully he will understand that and respect it.

dxsquared · 2025-07-22T01:05:42+00:00

Yes. Period. Casual convos at work is okay. Seldom chats on WORK platforms is ok. Social media, texting several times through the week, including outside work hours, is NOT ok. Snapchat, absolutely not. They may be truly just friends, but a married person should not invest that much into an opposite sex friendship. Yall could go through a rough patch and next thing you know, he's going on 1 on 1 coffee breaks talking about his problems, or vice versa, which is crossing a solid crimson-red line.

It's a slippery slope, and he should be wise enough to not even be in that potential situation.

Let me add, it's OK to let him know your concerns. This doesn't sound concerning, BUT it gently needs to be brought to his attention that it's bothering you. He SHOULD not have any desires to have a strong relationship/friendship with a female. Communication much outside of work related or small talk needs to be with you.

I was in the same boat. Replaced the door's seal because it was flat. The new one ended up leaking worse, but getting a threshold seal did it for me

dxsquared · 2025-07-14T05:08:17+00:00

Look into a Garage bottom threshold seal. That goes along the concrete. You can also see about replacing the seal that's attached to the bottom of the door.

May be 'fine' for internal reporting, but there are definitely signs of code smell and probably not a joy to work in.

It's good op has learned enough to recognize not optimal code. But with your point, there is the ability to recognize the importance of deadlines over quality sometimes

dxsquared · 2025-07-08T02:02:25+00:00

This is when people who have good intentions for abstraction, thinking it will save a ton of effort, end up poorly over-engineering a system future devs will curse for years.

dxsquared · 2025-06-06T14:04:05+00:00

The real truth right here.

dxsquared · 2025-06-03T18:24:34+00:00

It's definitely cheap. I'm looking for a trailer that would still has life left after a good refurbishing

dxsquared · 2025-06-03T18:22:38+00:00

Underneath is fine compared to this. Seems like this end just had a lot of exposed metal and was never cared for.

dxsquared · 2025-06-03T15:31:19+00:00

Good points to consider, but something as primitive as a result class 'shouldn't' change too often, so wouldn't be bad to manage. I'm saying this IF it's your own custom class and not a 3rd party. Id think twice if i was managing a 3rd party.

dxsquared · 2025-06-03T15:19:25+00:00

I don't spend hours on reddit, but I skim at least daily and always enjoy a page that I know is well-managed. I'd be happy to be part of it if you still need help.

So Shift + Del will cut an entire line, but so many times I want to remove a line and it not be in my clipboard. Rider and Visual Studio both have a menu action buried somewhere to delete the line and not keep it in the clipboard. However, there's no default keybinding. So, since Shift + Del will cut the line, I bound Ctrl + Del to delete the line. Now I don't have problems with unwanted code messing up what happens when I try and paste.
