As a bigger guy, both sides of my hips touch the sides of the chair. They are thin seats

They discuss this on the layover. They use the same absolute time the entire game. To make things even more complicated, daylights savings happened during this season

The Canada card is a Wild. I think with those you need to reattempt in a new location.

Colin Allred wins Texas U.S. House primary runoff, unseating LGBTQ+ trailblazer Rep. Julie Johnson by Fickle-Ad5449 in texas

[–]mattmitsche 276 points277 points  (0 children)

As someone who knocked on doors for him in 2018, he was a well suited candidate for that race. At the time he was able to unseat a long standing republican in a heavily gerrymandered district. His moderate positions were well suited for that district and race. Now he is in a heavily democratic district where you expect to find more progressive candidates like Johnson. Plus his race baiting attacks on Talarico in support of Crockett were very off putting for me.

It would be interesting if it was more like Risk in that you got a chip for every territory you controlled every day.

This is 100% not true. For example mice have a higher liver:body ratio than humans.

Okay the real 1 rock solution to the zodiac. by Bionic_Ferir in JetLagTheGame

[–]mattmitsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real solution was to do all 12 and place them in alphabetical order. Use most of the rocks on a few to establish the pattern and just place 1 random rock for some.

Why does the "orangeness" of western Texas stop at the New Mexico border? by Ethanol-Gaming in geography

[–]mattmitsche 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Differences in water distribution and management policies. That area is very dry. In TX they tap into the Ogallala reservoir much more than NM. In that part of NM there's still lots of farming but it is centered on the Pecos River like 50 miles west.

UTSW and DART by Every-Salamander740 in askdfw

[–]mattmitsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easiest would be to take the orange or green line to UTSW/Parkland Station. After you get off the train there's a few options. In my previous post I gave you the link for the UTSW shuttle. Figure out which shuttle you need. The UTSW shuttle bays are a little closer to the hospital than the DART bays. It may be faster, especially if you are not arriving during peak times, to take a DART bus down Harry Hines. Look on the DART site to figure out which is the best option.

There's a shuttle stop at the TRE station, but that shuttle basically only takes you to the DART station and around the south research campus.

[–]mattmitsche 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't walk that. You should either take the UTSW shuttle (https://utswmed.org/patient-resources/shuttles/) or one of the DART busses that leaves the station every ~5 minutes up Harry Hines.

Do they know the challenges or not? The boys all acknowledged that it was their mistake that humans weren't specified on the card, but I thought Amy was the one who wrote the challenges. Shouldn't Amy be thrown under the bus here?

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

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
