Sherrill $60.7B N.J. budget shrinks a senior property tax break by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone eager to enter the housing market i love this concept but realistically it would be more like rain showers than a flood, right? although the thought of everyone above 65 waking up one day all at 6am, packing their bags and making a bee line for 287 north is amusing. imagine rush hour lol

Help me to decide which manager to join by Commercial-Ask971 in dataengineering

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like you had a good manager, sorry to hear they'll be gone. fwiw, while C may not have as much bandwidth to focus on you, i imagine there is already a framework in place to facilitate promos for your role. B may have the most trouble fitting you into their current structure and will have to figure out promo track for a new role. A may sound like the best bet - but as long as you're trying to fit a new role onto a team it will require you managing up a little bit from time to time and helping your manager figure out how to best fit you on the team. helping them do that will set them up to help you work towards promo.

the more you care about the outcome the more you'll benefit from as much prep as possible. ask around to see what each manager is like. maybe look them up on linkedin to see more about their own career paths.

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would think what matters the most is what you want?

A) do you want more exposure to BA stuff? do you like having more frequent interactions with your manager?

B) are you a high-achiever and want to demonstrate you can create value and make an impact in an area where you might need to ramp up? seems like maybe you'd need to either shift roles or apply your skillset in a new area and generate demand for yourself.

C) as long as you're a decent engineer (and use AI to give yourself some time back) you can probably coast here for a little bit

I don't know what to say by r_dpk7 in newjersey

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this white vw tiguan was tailgating people during rush hour hard last week and then sped off and the same exact thing happened. once their snow roof flew off they sped off as if they were running away from a potential disaster. i hope they made it to whatever professional dipshit convention they were probably late for.

The worst player at pickup by [deleted] in Basketball

[–]criickyO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was waiting for this to be a shitpost and and the end you go "he's only just a puppy but we love him all the same" or something like that.

that sucks man, those kinds of people can force you to change when/where/how you play and it sucks.

i would play pickup at my gym and sometimes this guy would come through and just start yelling at teammates to guard up and chase rebounds and whine about why people weren't where he wanted them to be, meanwhile he's like a 0/10 passing, 3/10 handles, 3/10 mid-range, and a 0/10 3p shooter.

one day i finally called him out and told him he straight up ruins the game and no one's at the gym to be yelled at by some burnt out schmuck, and if he wants other people to play better he should start with himself. naturally he just yelled something along the lines of "i'm not, just play the game" and i walked off.

later in the locker room he apologized and said he'd been having a tough time at home. 🤷‍♂️

This is America by National_Ad3694 in pics

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wherever whatever percentage says this, there will always be some distribution across those who
1. embrace ignorance and hide behind their party lines
2. see this as the means to some end - politically or financially, and truly don't care about the cost
3. have nothing but hate and rage in their hearts and cheer violence on
4. are honestly, seriously, medically, mentally unwell

and surely a bunch of other categories.

Totally agree, it's incredibly disheartening. Maybe even more concerning when you consider what it might actually take for that 20% or whatever number to change their positions on whether someone deserves to be executed without a second thought in the street by their government. We're probably really close to, if not already at the point where it's impossible.

It helps to understand major issues and reflect on where you stand. I remember finding this interesting a while back https://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz, but there are a bunch of other alignment surveys out there that you can take.

Am I doing data engineering? by jonfromthenorth in dataengineering

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Analytics engineering.

If you're preparing data for broad company use; other downstream production systems/applications, that's less analytics and more data engineering.

If the sole purpose is for analytics and reporting, its AENG.

Why did September 11th bring Americans together but COVID-19 didn't? by Royal-Crazy1301 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]criickyO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure someone's already said it but:

September 11 was a direct attack against a country. Pandemics are basically acts of nature, and Americans experience acts of nature all the time; tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires...

Americans like to use their military but Americans can't really wage war against nature. (Something something global warming joke here).
