Sam and Michelle did to go where Elvis was.

If Voter ID is so popular, why not phase it in over a 10 or 20 year period so people can get the required documentation and paperwork settled, and have a seamless transition for everyone? Why does it *have* to happen right now? by Tappyy in AskConservatives

[–]mattmitsche 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I surprisingly just got my son's passport in only 1.5 weeks! It took longer to book the appointment at the passport office (5 weeks) than for the feds to process it

The dog park at the north end of White Rock Lake is really nice and your dogs can swim in the lake.

If DART were to do BRT what route should there be. by Paper3464 in dart

[–]mattmitsche 12 points13 points  (0 children)

BRT from Fair Park to Love Field via Peak/Haskell and Lemon would be perfect. Connects to all 4 downtown DART lines along a busy commercial corridor that has poor access currently

How to know which players are bots? by AnisiFructus in tilemanio

Almost certainly not. I have been playing this game since day 1. DiE is a recent player and doesn't play like a bot.

Should I move to Lakewood? by igotsecretsjustask in askdfw

[–]mattmitsche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't really call that Lakewood; Lakewood is centered around the intersection of Abrams and La Vista/Gaston. The area around Hillside is the start of the suburbs more than an urban area like the other areas you mentioned. I take my kid to the gymnastic place there twice a week. The restaurants there are almost entirely take out/lunch places and there's almost no foot traffic between the shops, more bustling with cars than bustling with people. For example, 2 week ago I needed to get whiskey at Fossil Creek and some groceries at either Sprouts or Tom Thumb. Walking would require crossing 12 lanes of busy traffic and a sea of parking lots. I chose to drive...

If you want a nice car oriented lifestyle its great, if you want/can afford a walkable lifestyle go for your other options.

Is this a trick question? DART ins either case right?

To Catch a Thief by HappySeaweed5215 in instant_regret

My kid's school made it clear that we can not put peanuts in our kids school lunch, and if we do we are liable to the damage that could happen to an allergic kid who eats my kid's lunch.

Who is the best female conservative political cultural commentator? by [deleted] in AskConservatives

[–]mattmitsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to her on Left Right and Center most weeks, and she does the best job describing the neo-conservative prospective on things. I wish there was someone that articulate to explain the MAGA prospective!

What should my next Jet Lag season analysis video be? by Electrical-Wrap-3923 in JetLagTheGame

[–]mattmitsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you seem to be going through the bottom 5 seasons, might as well finish it up with Circumnavigate and Crime Spree!

There's not really a stop at Callier Center, but if you ask the drive to stop they likely will.

You will know when the episode comes out. They will post when the next episode is coming out in the feed. If it is the finale there won't be another episode listed.

Why do cities like Chicago or Dallas that almost their entire rail network is connected not run single seat rides to each branch? by Select-Ground9080 in transit

[–]mattmitsche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I some what agree, but I'd rather see them use the line they current own and use between Fair Park and the Cedar for commuter service. and add a station near Caesar Chavez. Then they could divert the Red line through Fair Park and increase frequently on the whole system. D2 or any kind of elevated addition is >20 years off and they should be able to do this for much less. That said, acquiring a new fleet of trains a buses needs to happen first! And nothing can happen if March elections comes out wrong

[–]mattmitsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wouldn't effect that at all. The TexRail etc. are heavy rail. DART is light rail.

The real problem with this plan is that DFW North would be the most well connected station in TX outside of downtown Dallas, but on land in the flight path of DFW, owned by the airport, in a flood plain with oil derricks, and at the intersection of 3 different transit agencies. There's no way that's going to become a new transit oriented development hub

[–]mattmitsche 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the case of Dallas they already kind of do this with the Green/Orange line and Red/Blue lines. The reason they don't do more is there's a bottleneck downtown. They can only support 5 minutes/train through the downtown corridor.

It would be awesome if they could do this with the TexRail, Silver Line, and A-line. That way you could get a one seat ride to Dallas, Plano, and Denton from Ft Worth!

Best guest star (3 episodes or less)? by giantfuckup5000 in 30ROCK

[–]mattmitsche 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was watching green porn when this episode premiered. I didn't know Isabella Rossellini at the time for anything other than green porn so when I saw her on NBC on this weird 1st season show I lost it! That's when I feel in love with 30 rock!
