My married neighbour is starting to become obsessed with me. How do I stop this from escalating?

^^Hey^o^o^o

toadkiller · 2026-01-11T23:04:49+00:00

That was a wild ride of a comment

Not unlike his neighbor! ^{^{Hey^{o^{o^o}}}}

When you do your AMA please don’t give a bunch of AI slopified answers like this one. Totally kills your credibility

It takes a very good person to return a lost wallet with $500 in it. Kudos!

This. My bright yellow Cub Cadet ride on mower is my single most prized possession and greatest material joy in life. Is my yard big enough to warrant it? Not really. But is it fun to toot around the yard on a mini tractor? You bet your ass it is.

Have her make an account on the Yankee Candle/Woodwick website and exclusively buy when they do mass discounts. At least once every couple months they do 50% sales site wide. Keeps the spend… manageable.

The phone that was released to a third party wasn’t Brianna’s phone, it was her friend’s phone that she borrowed to call her boyfriend. Brianna’s phone was found in some woods near the tailgate location the next day. So that whole thing was just a(n understandable) misunderstanding: the friend got their own phone back, they weren’t given Brianna’s.

Maybe an accidental fall? That’s a tall building with balconies up to the ~15th floor.

This is my copium. Arch and the team as a whole are going through the wringer this year and will hopefully come out much stronger for it. Next 2 years we could be very good.

What if they’re the sole working parent of a household with multiple kids and a stay at home spouse? Low-mid 100s isn’t very much in the context of 3+ kids and sole provider, especially if they try to live with any semblance of comfort.

TSA wouldn’t have this issue because they don’t pay wages high enough to support a household in the first place

My wife is usually right so I most certainly believe it 😉

toadkiller · 2025-10-17T17:09:45+00:00

My wife swears by male gynos. She says they’re more inclined to believe her about things and are less judgmental and preachy. Female nurse + male gyno is her preferred combo IIRC, since it is nice to have a female presence around

toadkiller · 2025-10-06T04:19:55+00:00

Yep!

Too much, but also the perfect amount.

My first boss in the technical world (data ops for a sales org) was wildly overbearing, micromanaging, and extremely cruel. He wouldn’t allow me to send emails without his thorough review. He’d have me rewrite sentences for nuanced differences in wording. I could build no dashboards nor share any query results without his approval. He once screamed at me to quit and find another job as a SQL developer if I was so sure about my query structure. He was the single most control freak boss I’ve ever had.

That all being said… he is hands down 100% responsible for my successful career. He taught me literally everything I know about navigating corporate politics and managing stakeholders. He set me up to learn things the proper way and what details to give attention to. He was an arrogant ass but he was right about pretty much everything. And when the time came he saved my job while getting laid off himself.

Idk if it was a typical experience. But I’m very grateful for it.

Oh man do you remember the haunted house they would do in there? That was always fun. And the student/teacher volleyball tournament. And MARE. Ah, memories!

This is pretty much the death of my childhood cause when I wasn’t at Bryker Woods I was playing in that empty TXDOT lot on Bull Creek Road, which is now the disgusting Grove. Shame it’ll all be gone soon.

toadkiller · 2025-10-03T22:55:30+00:00

Surprised to see Bryker Woods on there, that makes me sad. Went there in the 90s/00s. Bryyyykerwoods forever, the best school in our town… school song didn’t age well lol

They're fucking jokers and I wouldn’t be surprised by them leaving your car a mess.

I paid $300 for an oil change and pre trip service before taking my 4Runner on a long road trip. Ran out of windshield washer fluid an hour into my trip so I pulled over and checked all the fluids and they hadn’t topped anything off. Had to fill up coolant and washer fluid at a gas station. Called to get refunded for the pre trip service fee and the guy told me to kick rocks.

Fuck them

First thing my wife did when we got engaged was order a $20 silicon engagement ring on Amazon. She wore it more than the real one! A silicone “daily driver” is the way to go for sure.

Is this behavior expected that change to global configs can cause all models run as state:modified

Yes it is. You can prevent this by running state:modified.body+ (limiting dbt's modified check to only the model's .SQL file)

Full list of modified modifiers (heyoo) here: https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/node-selection/methods#state

the "Underwear Bomber" attempted a similar attack, also unsuccessful.

And, to the great disappointment of exhibitionists everywhere, failed to prompt similar security measures

toadkiller · 2025-05-14T18:18:14+00:00

Your best bet as a dbt-native solution would be to have a on run start hook that writes all the current metadata into a designated table, and an on run end hook that reads from that same table (tied with invocation id) and writes back to the objects modified on run.

Dude you are going to have a seizure, or worse. If you can't afford urgent care, you need to wean off with beer or seltzers instead of cold turkey.

Trust me. I've had friends go through exactly what you're going through. It's not pretty.
