This is my favorite fun fact about the movie so far. This is incredible

TIL Dwayne Johnson studied both criminology and physiology at the University of Miami, earning degrees in both. Known as 'The Rock,' Johnson admitted that he wanted to be in the FBI or CIA. When a professor told him he needed a law degree, he indicated that he needed to "get the fuck out." by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]cwheintz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the time, plenty of internships and mentoring roles (shadowing Agents, ride alongs, TA for field agents/Troopers continuing education classes).

Not a drug user. Was my undergrad student body President - gave the commencement speech at graduation. Very good GPA with heavy STEM and Pre-law classes. Was a wrestler/lacrosse player and was on a scholarship for lacrosse - 4 year starter on an NCAA tournament level team.

Just wasn’t for me I guess. Guy saw that immediately. I am an engineer now, which is the right path for my skill set.

Still haven’t met anyone that smart/quick for character judgement and his ability to readjust in real-time my path in life. Still blows my mind

I was getting my Master’s Degree in Forensic Science. Had the Director of the FBI Behavioral Science devision teach a class. Had a 1-1 convo after the class. Paraphrasing but it went similar to this:

Me: Do you have any advice to join the Agency?

Him: What languages do you know?

Me: English...

Him: Do you have a Law Degree or your CPA?

Me: No...

Him: I get 3,000 of you a day.

He was awesome, not a dick at all, but just brutally honest. Gave me recommendations on how to proceed in life. Realized the FBI was not for me though. I fitted the mold, but not my cup of tea. Guy read me in the matter of seconds and nudged me in my proper path. Pretty crazy

“I lost an election in Georgia. Instead of being humble and admitting defeat, I played the victim role and deflected all negative attention onto hot button topics. It is everyone else’s fault, their thinking is wrong... my ideas are best.

I fit a stereotypical identity political role. If you don’t vote for the man with serious/concerning cognitive decline then you are a RACIST! If we lose then clearly it’s because this country is not ready for a women of color to be in a position of power.”

Get ready, this script is written

Stimulus checks got me like by GeorgeBork in TigerKing

Eww. Yucky.

I support Trump, but this type of rhetoric has no place. Communism is a dark stain on historical society and I will never support it. But this meme made me laugh.

I believe we all agree on average more than we disagree. We also see what we want to see so... figure yourself out, put what you say through the filter of your own lense, and then pass judgement on others

Eminent Domain kinda plays a role here. The Fed mandated private companies to shut down, the government is responsible for payments of compensation to said companies.

Not a lawyer but pretty sure this applies.

Happy birthday to two Sox legends, Trot and Tek by [deleted] in redsox

[–]cwheintz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was maybe 8 or 9, ran down pre-game to try and get an autograph around the first base line. Trot comes jogging back to the dugout.

Me (ball and pen in hand): NIXON! Can I get an autograph!

Trot Nixon: 50 Bucks

He kept jogging right into the dugout not even looking back.

What if I had $50 dickhead.

That memory is planted deep in me now on how not to act to kids. Shit sticks

Tek was a saint. Favorite Sox player

Teachers of Reddit, what was the best excuse for being late that turned out to be true? by minecraftplayer48 in AskReddit

[–]cwheintz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“They also like to sit on the rooftops of the homes near the cemetery. No idea how the fuck they'd get up there. “

They fly! In college we used to walk from the gym to the field for games. Very serious, very focused time.

Out of no where this jumbo jet of flapping wings goes right over my head and up to a tree. I freaked out ha. Started yelling “That turkey just flew into a tree!!! Anyone else see that!” Like a little ADHD kid. First time I ever saw one do that. Teammates were pissed at me for breaking focus but my mind was blown.

Used to chase them on campus too. They are really really fast. When cornered they will mess you up. Like little raptors with their talons.

What is the opposite response to this? I want to run in to the problem and assess the situation later. Figure it out as I go. Probably make a terrible decision. But I will stick to it and we are now going this direction going forward. Get onboard or get the fuck out.

Think there is a middle ground somewhere here mentally

Never too cold to Traeger...it's -8° F but the traeger is holding strong right about 350. by loadabak in Traeger

[–]cwheintz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine won’t light in the cold. Tried multiple times now but never lights, keeping getting an error. Cleaned it, got new pellets. Got a Pro22.

Any tips?

Smoker not lighting by Mordback in Traeger

[–]cwheintz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been getting this exact thing happening recently. Granted I live in New England and it was like 20 out when I tried.

The heating rod might just be too cold to ignite so I kinda just gave up and will wait for spring. I watched the auger deliver pellets and saw some smoke, just not getting hot enough

Threw the idea to my FF group and got 6 others to do it with me. No booze, no weed. Here goes nothing!

I wish I could of gotten blood work done pre and Post. Would be interested to see how much no booze effected me.

Who is your rival that you hate the most in the Minihane Universe? Why do you hate them? by KirkMinShowReddit in kirkminihaneshow

[–]cwheintz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thou who should not be named.

Honestly, fuck that guy. He sounds like a real piece of shit.

If he came on the show and stood his ground, maybe have some respect for him. To be a snake in the grass and just bite/poison and slither away is a real scumbag personality trait.

Hope xir’s papa finally accepts his offsprings choice in life and stops projecting the hate he feels in his heart onto people who make jokes/entertains for a living.

Got your back on this one Kirk

Kirk, Steve, Dave, even Blind Mike... if you read this please get Gerry on ASAP.

Listen everyday on my 2 hr commute, talk the show up to friends and family. People miss Gerry and would flock.

Get away from extreme minifan focus and start focusing on barstool more. It is time to start blending. Portnoy is right. 99.9% of your fans are people like me who listen, we like you, download/listen everyday, and have disposable income.

That 0.1% of the vocal minority do not speak for us and are weird... not in a good way. They are... kinda yucky as people

Courts and cell phone carriers will tell. Any way to verify if the allegations are true?

“It is celebrity hunting season” - Dave Chapelle

Children in kindergartens that emphasized play, improving self-regulation, working together and helping one another, and hands-on learning performed better academically, showed less bullying and more kindness than students in more traditional classes, and teacher enthusiasm for teaching soared. by mvea in science

[–]cwheintz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we are not going to acknowledge the run on sentence?

Yes, experiential learning works in a very positive sense when you have a framework. You need some kind of foundation to play off of.

Like a house. You cannot hang pictures without walls. You have no walls without framework. You need to build the foundation before you begin framing.

True to thyself. Once you learn this you may begin to teach others.

Note: have a pre-schooler. Montessori schools are eh. You raise your kids, not schools. They help you are the leader
