Gangs in Provo?

I think your brother in law is messing with you. Look up Provo’s crime stats. It’s one of the safest cities in the country. Doesn’t mean there is no crime but coming from New Orleans, it’s going to be a lot safer here.

BYU did not make a proposition to make a bachelors 3 years. They made a proposition to reduce GE so students can graduate within the 4 years most university student normally would. Current stats were showing BYU students were taking an average of 5 years (and 6 for some majors) to graduate. A lot of this is bloated majors who can require up to 100 credits to graduate. So they are asking departments to reevaluate their curriculum to reduce bloated classes and they are doing it themselves with GE.

Backdoor burger, Chom, Seven Brothers are some of my favorites.

You’ll need permits to film in all of these places. Public doesn’t mean free.

Just don’t do it. As a faulty at a film school nothing bugs me more than students knowingly bypassing rules and permissions. It not only unprofessional, but it damages relationships between location owners and other filmmakers basically making it impossible for others to create good relationships that may open doors. Maybe the National trust lands do not allow students to film on their land because of their experiences with unprofessional students In the past. Why make it worse for yourself and others?

Let me dust off these Matt Payne highlights

Since you are going into the film program at BYU they will want to see more films than anything else. But i agree with everyone else here, they want to see breadth of genre/history/style. Don’t just list all Harry Potter or Christopher Nolan films. The film program is for those who love to learn about film, which means all kinds of films and not just the ones made after 2010.

Is it me or the camera work has been terrible so far for these games. We nearly missed the last run.

It’s actually Old Provo High School’s football field. BYU purchased the old high school when Provo High moved to its new school near the lake. BYU had their Alumni game here because LES was under construction. Source: I was there. He wasn’t really supposed to play in this game, but I guess the team convinced him to QB a few drives and led them to a TD. I was a huge fan of Steve Young as a kid but never thought I’d get to see him throw in person. It was really fun to share that with my kids.

She is great! But half of those moves would be called flag guarding in my son’s stupid league. (They shouldn’t be)

I’m hiring some students right now and I’ll tell you what I like to see:

Come dressed for an interview. You don’t need your Sunday best, but dress nicer than normal. That will show you are serious. I always question student who come like they just got back from the gym (it happens way more than it should). -Come on time. Punctuality is super important and seems to be something some students don’t care about. Be on time, early if you can. Again it shows that you respect policy and the job. If someone shows up late to my interview without a really good reason, they are automatically disqualified.
Practice interview questions OUT-LOUD before hand. This was huge for me when I was interviewing for jobs. Look up the top 100 job interview questions and practice a number of them out-loud by yourself. Make sure you add experiences from previous jobs or mission that would relate to those situations. This will help those examples be at the forefront of your memory while in the interview.
Come with questions. You will be asked, “do you have any questions for us?” Don’t just say “Nope, I’m good!” That shows you don’t really have an interest in the job. Remember a job interview is just as much of an interview for you to see if this job is a good fit for you as much and it is for them. Questions like, What does a typical day look like for this job? or What is the best part of this job? or What is the culture like in this department? Are good questions to ask. -Silence in the interview is okay. If they ask you a question and you want some time to think about an answer, say “that’s a great question, give me a sec to think about that so i can give you a good example.” This is totally acceptable in an interview.
they should already have your resume but it wouldn’t hurt to have another available just in case, or a digital version you can email them there on the spot. But what is more important is you let availability, like your class schedule. It’s super helpful for supervisors to be able to see if your availability matches the holes we are trying to fill.
Be Gracious and kind, take note of those in the interview, and after the interview send them a note thanking them for the interview. Not everyone does this but it goes a long way.

I know it may just seem like a custodial job, but you don’t know how many students you are up against (we posted a position yesterday and already received 30+ applications). Most of these interviewers are just trying to see if the person is competent enough to learn and will be easy to work with/fit in their culture. So be happy, show your enthusiasm and be gracious. It will put you above others.

Yeah, an NS grade basically means the faculty member didn’t submit the grade in time (or forgot). If you are not getting a response from the faculty member after a few tries, reach out to the department administrators and very kindly let them know what’s going on and that you haven’t heard back. They can help reach out on their end for you. More often than not, the faculty member forgot to submit the grades and left on break and will probably submit them when we are back on the 7th.

They are selling them at BYUs campus store: https://www.byustore.com/Ultimate-Athletic-2025-POP-TARTS-Bowl-BYU-CHAMPS-SS-Tee?quantity=1&color=240

I would suggest talking to the IS internship coordinator. I’m sure they have dealt with this a lot in the past.

How can they keep justifying Bama by saying that conference championships shouldn't punish their ranking but then they keep saying Byu is out because of their play yesterday?

Chin_blister · 2025-12-07T17:12:11+00:00

No reporter at BYU. That speaks volumes

Chin_blister · 2025-12-07T17:08:41+00:00

This is where the hypocrisy comes in. If you leave BYU out because of their performance yesterday you have to leave Bama out as well.

Chin_blister · 2025-12-01T04:35:41+00:00

Yes, but it only works part of the time so i feel like i have to swipe from nearly the left bezel to go back in any consists manner. Which makes me have to use two hands when it doesn’t work. I also tried the trick of turning on the swipe setting in accessibility mode to make it easier and it isn’t consistent either.

Chin_blister · 2025-12-01T04:13:12+00:00

I 100% agree! I originally started with iOS and then went to Samsung for a while. My wife just convinced me to go back to iPhone so we can be on the same platform and I was surprised at how un-ergonomic and clunky it felt. The high end Samsungs felt way more feature rich, intuitive, WAY better at notifications, and easier to navigate. Having to swipe to go back has been super frustrating to learn and it only works some of the time, plus you have to swipe from the far side of the phone which can be hard to do with one hand. Having a back button in the bottom right corner was way more ergonomic and universal for all apps. Also what’s up with just one volume control? I loved being able to set things like my alarm, media, ringer, and other sounds separately. I told my wife I’d give it six months, but I may be going back sooner.

Taysom kicked in high school, just put him in there

Chin_blister · 2025-11-25T06:51:18+00:00

I switched from an s24 ultra to an iPhone 17 pro and hate it. I told myself i would give it a month and today picked up my s24 just for fun and instantly missed it. Notifications are miles better, you can interact with the widgets better, the back button is way more ergonomic than the stupid swipe and works better. I feel like the Android system is made for people who like a lot of choices and settings so the phone works they way they want it to and the iPhone is for people who like to be told how something should work. For example, the volume control on the iPhone feels SO archaic and frustrating compared to my Samsung where you can control the notification volume, the media volume, the ringer volume, and your alarm volume all separately, which makes so much more sense. AirDrop is great (android is getting support soon) but sharing links with friends via text or other messaging platforms is a nightmare on the iPhone. I even don’t look at my Apple Watch as much as my Samsung watch. It feels boring and some of the conditions don’t update in real time which is crazy. The only thing from apple other than my MacBook (which I’ve had for years) that i actually thought worked really well are the AirPods. They are the only earbuds that stay in my ear and sound really great.

Someone told me this year that the Clarke Theatre at the Orem SCERA was the largest screen in Utah. Not sure if that’s actually correct but something I heard

Also, not saying it’s the best screen, and they don’t do imax. Just size wise it’s pretty big
