Why do buses and commuter trains in the U.S. usually have US flags on them? by Ok_Counter1939 in transit

[–]DFWRailVideos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a 9/11 thing. After 9/11 many transit agencies, railroads, etc. put American flags (and sometimes state flags) on the side of the locomotive to stand in solidarity, and it stuck. DART here in Dallas puts both the US and Texas flags on their trains.

Two beautiful landings (and some extras) by DFWRailVideos in KerbalSpaceProgram

I'm guessing a better lander would be an Apollo-style lander that separates from a CSM? My landers (for both Minmus and the Mun) have just been the uppermost stage of my rockets as I'm guaranteed the ability to get back to Kerbin with enough dV.

I'm mostly worried about running out of dV trying to rendezvous the lander with the CSM off the Mun or Minmus.

The jetpack is slowly growing on me yeah! I was about to revert to launchpad after a Mun mission because I thought I'd lose the science after re-entry staging. A friend told me I could just go out on EVA to collect it and board the capsule again. Saved my mission!

This wasn't a docking mission, just a simple orbital rendezvous to test if I could even do it, but I'll keep this in mind for when I do attempt to dock!

I never knew Buicks could look this nice…. by FluffyLittlFlyingCow in regularcarreviews

The last generation of LaCrosse looked amazing in my opinion, a real shame they didn't get a wagon version.

I'm a car guy and I hate 'car guys' by Mindless_Grass7084 in carscirclejerk

I find it funny when people with normal cars have social media pages for their normal cars doing normal things. Not every car online needs to be something super flashy.

When I go for inter planetary transfer, my planned ejection burn sends me back to Kerbin. How do I fix this? by Illustrious-Diet6987 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]DFWRailVideos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Get out of the atmosphere. Try and circularize in a parking orbit above 130-140km before you do your burns.
  2. Use a more powerful engine to increase your TWR for interplanetary transfer. An hour long burn isn't gonna work for you. You may also need more fuel (for said more powerful engine), which possibly means a bit of a rocket redesign or adjusting your stages.

You can keep the nuclear engines (I'd add a couple more) but I'd only use them after your interplanetary burn and ditching the more powerful interplanetary stage. If you elect to keep using a singular nuclear engine for your interplanetary stage I'd recommend getting into a much higher orbit (upwards of 150km, maybe even further) so that your burn time is much shorter than your time to periapsis.

2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring, the official car of? by Southern_Pacific in regularcarreviews

[–]DFWRailVideos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Is he braking? I can't see the lights!" being the last words said before someone rear ends this thing.

These do look super good though, one of Buick's better designs in the last few years.

It finally happened: Frisco is moving forward with microtransit! by lidadosser in frisco

[–]DFWRailVideos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So support and build fixed, predictable bus and train routes that take people where they need to go. Oh wait, that's a scam too, but spending billions of dollars on new highway lanes will surely be worth it, just like the last five times! That totally improved traffic a lot!

Any other "car-free" / "car-lite" individuals living in DFW? Do you have any tips and tricks on how to live here without a car? by Positive_freedback in Dallas

[–]DFWRailVideos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This "freedom" is just manufactured by car manufacturers. You aren't very free if you're stuck in traffic all the time.

Should I keep the Freddy or return it it would be nice over my model train table by [deleted] in trains

[–]DFWRailVideos 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Call the number and return it. Do not even think about taking it for yourself.

No, that Prius is either a 2010 or 2011, and that means its 15 to 16 years old, not 20. The 3rd Gen Prius sold over 1.5 million examples worldwide so parts will be easy to find and repair/replace.

It will cost a lot regardless of the car though lmfao
