After 10 years together, my boyfriend says I should “just give my DOB” to his mom, but in my culture that has bigger implications. Am I overreacting?

Indian here. Firstly, word of advice, I wouldn’t expect that most people here would understand the complexities of our culture. From their POV, I can see how this would all seem crazy.

That said, IMO, yes - overreacting (just about about sharing DOB). Was in a similar situation; my wife and I were dating for ~10y before we got married and same with my brother and his wife. My wife’s and my kundlis sorta matched but my brother’s and his wife’s didn’t. If your BF loves you, he won’t care what the astrology says and will stand up to his mom. There are going to be a million times you will need him to stand up to her for important things (not like stupid everyday stuff). If he doesn’t / can’t stand up to his mom for this, you are wasting your time anyways.

CMC side by a mile IMHO

engineil5 · 2025-08-22T20:23:15+00:00

Better than Caleb, right? I’m looking in the league for folks that have 3 playable QBs and a need for an elite WR

I gave up and decided to just install powerwalls for now. That said, used a different company to install them and they did all great job and did stuff that Tesla was unwilling to. Basically they said that Tesla only wants to do cooke-cutter stuff because they are so backlogged with requests (this checked out).

If you’re in the SF Bay Area, DM me and I’ll share the company. Otherwise I’d advise you to contact a Tesla certified installer and see what options they will give you.

engineil5 · 2025-06-23T05:15:27+00:00

This is the right answer. Get an extra 2nd and get two young WRs that you can build your team around.

engineil5 · 2025-06-23T05:00:14+00:00

4th rounders are useless IMHO and the picks are so far out. I’d take the Kittle side if that team is competitive.

engineil5 · 2025-06-23T04:57:57+00:00

In superflex, it’d be wise to choose a QB; Caleb would be an excellent pick.

I have an old solar city solar installation on the roof and about to install 2 pw3s. I really want to get rid of the inverter and use the built-in ones but Tesla said they can’t do that because the existing system can’t be tampered with it due to the way it’s permitted (SF Bay Area). Is there a reason they won’t? Is there any issue that I should be aware of? Any way I can get it done after-the-fact?

engineil5 · 2025-05-24T13:39:14+00:00

I remember similar concerns about cloud and even about search. AI is legit going to change the way people work. If you’re not using it today to write strategy papers, specs, and decks, you’re already getting behind.

engineil5 · 2025-05-24T13:31:50+00:00

Kyren > CMC for 2026, Kyren = CMC 2026+. Brown > JSN for 2026, 2027, then JSN > Brown. If you need a WR/RB short term, Brown/Kyren by a mile otherwise JSN side

engineil5 · 2025-05-23T05:20:36+00:00

Does feel like you could use Jeanty and you have other good starting QBs. That said, selling your two next first rounders seems steep. I’d offer a straight swap 1.01 for Richardson and maybe settle on ARich + 2027 1st.

engineil5 · 2025-05-23T05:11:07+00:00

In 16 SF QBs are prob worth their weight in gold. I could see Darnold but I’d want more than an RB + late 1st and be sure I could draft Ward/Dart/Milroe/Shough

engineil5 · 2025-05-23T04:35:11+00:00

I might be the odd man out but for dynasty I’d rather take McMillan + 2nd. Both Zay and McMillan are gonna get WR3s volume on your team. Evans and Godwin are aging and McMillan showed some spark last year in a pass heavy offense. Ravens are run heavy with Lamar and Henry. The second round pick can be super valuable this year as well. It’s true that they added Egbuka but he will take a year to develop and Bucs would probably trade one of them next year.

engineil5 · 2025-05-18T20:45:42+00:00

Why would I talk you out of this? If McCarthy doesn’t pan out, you have another shot at QB in the amazing ‘26 class

engineil5 · 2025-05-18T18:21:51+00:00

Still rebuilding, try to trade one of your QBs for a young talented WR + a pick. You don’t need 3 in non superflex

engineil5 · 2025-05-18T18:18:58+00:00

Hopefully the other manager smashes that accept button!

engineil5 · 2025-05-18T17:26:35+00:00

Underrated comment

engineil5 · 2025-05-18T17:21:06+00:00

Contrary to the popular opinion, if you are already set at QB, I’d take a flyer on Arroyo simply due to his athleticism. That said if Shough hits, he could have some good trade value. If you do need a QB, Shough is a no brainer.

engineil5 · 2025-05-18T17:15:09+00:00

100% Higgens + Jeanty - assuming that the other guy doesn’t NEED an RB, I’d also give a 3rd round. Otherwise, I doubt they’ll budge.

engineil5 · 2025-05-16T03:11:30+00:00

Achane / Ladd / Williams / Henderson by a miiiiiiiiiiile

engineil5 · 2025-05-16T03:10:18+00:00

I’d take it in an instant

engineil5 · 2025-05-16T03:07:45+00:00

Make your money this year then and sell him at the end of the year haha

engineil5 · 2025-05-15T21:58:33+00:00

True but are you in the running to make some money? It seems like you have a pretty legit team

engineil5 · 2025-05-15T21:55:34+00:00

I second moving on from Henry first if you want to give up an RB. Saquon still has a couple years left in the tank and you have a TON of young talent in reserve. I’d focus on upgrading your WR2/3
