Mocker Puns

During high school i had my first serious boyfriend of 4 years, Chris. His family moved here from Mexico and mainly spoke Spanish.

This matters because his family culture was rich, and I became very close with his mother and siblings who would tell me all sorts of legends.

While we dated tons of strange things happened, but I’ll never forget this.

We were FaceTiming each other, he was at his families house and I was at my mom & I’s apartment. Mid conversation Chrises mom yelled his name really loudly as if calling him over, which I’ve seen her do a lot when I was over. His face turned pale and I saw him go to look out of a window. “My mom isn’t home” he told me, his face was dark and knowing as if this happened before.

While still on FaceTime, his little sister Tita (6 at the time) came up and asked him why he called her over, followed by his youngest brother Tito, as if he’d been called by Tita.

I have more stories specifically about this house, but from what I was told, it was a bit of a family thing. Although we’re broken up, I’m still close with the entire family, and feel like asking more about it all.

SOLVED, go to the bottom of the post to find solution!

So I have a function like this, and this is in a directory structure like "routes/health/"

def health_check_db():
    server_status= db.command()
    if server_status:
        return True
    else:
        return False

And I want to be able to mock the value of the "server_status" variable to True. How do I achieve this? I've tried many things including using @patch('routes.health.db.server_status', True) , and also

with mock.patch.object(routes.health.health_check_db, 'server_status', return_value=True):

But I dont think I am patching the variable within a function correctly.

Can someone advice me on this? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: SOLVED.

SOLUTION : So apparently mocking local variables is not possible. According to u/crashfrog "It's not possible to do - there's no opportunity to intercept the assignment of a local variable in a function because the function has control over execution at that point. Nothing outside of the function can be executing, so there's no opportunity to set a new value halfway through the function."

which I understand. I had a workaround for my issue above by just setting the entire functions return value as True which was acceptable for me.

My API is written on FastAPI, for those curious about that.

@pytest.fixture()
def clientfixture():
    from app import app

    with TestClient(app) as test_client:
        yield test_client

def test_health_check(clientfixture, mocker):

mocker.patch('routes.health.health_check_db', return_value=True)

The Raven Mocker is an evil spirit and the most feared of Cherokee witches. According to Cherokee mythology it robs the sick and dying of their heart.

Normally appearing as old, withered men and women, or turning completely invisible except to certain medicine men, they take to the air in a fiery shape, with the sounds of a raven's cry and a strong wind as they hunt for their next victim. After tormenting and killing their victim by slitting the victim's head they consume his heart (doing so without leaving a mark on the victim's skin), and add a year to their life for every year that the slain would have still lived. The sound of a raven mocker means that someone in the area will soon die.

Raven mockers are normally invisible when feeding, but those with strong medicine can not only spot them but cause them to die within seven days. Medicine men will sometimes stand guard over the dying to prevent raven mockers from stealing the heart of the afflicted.

Raven mockers are feared and envied by the other witches of Cherokee folklore, and their bodies may be abused by said witches after death.

Back with another update to the Mock Draft Analyzer Tool. The analyzer contains data from 423 mocks drafts, published between February 8th and April 7th. Here are some insights from the latest model (far from infallible takes but I'm just reading the data!):

• Mockers aren't buying the Mac Jones to the 49ers smoke. Since the pick swaps on March 26th, Fields has been mocked to the 49ers 53 times, versus Lance 46 times and Jones just 26 times.

• Jaylen Waddle increasingly looks like WR2 behind Chase. Waddle's avg draft position remains slightly lower the Devonta Smith's overall, but Waddle is mocked to the Lions at 7 and Eagles at 12 (likely WR2 destinations) more often than Smith.

• The post-free-agency period suggests the CB class is rising while the EDGE class is falling in the minds of mockers. EDGE isn't a popularly mocked position in the top 15, excluding possibly the Giants at 11 and Vikings at 14 and in both cases an EDGE player is 3rd in mock count. Meanwhile, Surtain, Farley, Horn, and Newsome could very well be off the board after the Jets pick at 23.

• I decided to run a PFF draft simulation for Round 1 following the consensus from 3/17 to 4/7. Here are the results. This does account for scenarios where the consensus mocked player was already off the board.

• I'm more than happy to filter for team/player specific questions especially if you're on mobile (analyzer doesn't work well beyond desktop). I can post screen grabs of the key views as needed.

As always, check out this gif for a demonstration of how to use the analyzer and let me know what you think! Lastly, if you want to maximize use of the analyzer, your best bet is to download the free Tableau Reader application and load the file from the Tableau public site.

When a mocker of God is in a community of the children of God and decides to hide amongst them; the power of the Holy Ghost will fish him out! At that point he is like a fish gasping for breath in a fishing net.

So I was curious about what other people would have stat wise for a raven mocker, a Cherokee spirit that eats the hearts of the dying. I have a few ideas, but I wanted to hear others before I put too much work into it. Is there a creature that's already similar to start from? Or what kind of abilities would you give them?
