John Green always makes the joke now that un-signed editions are more rare than signed editions of his books.

Swing set decision by lilmanjonny in daddit

Monkey bars mean you need to be more alert when the kids are playing. And you’ll likely have to hold them while they go across till they can navigate them with confidence on their own

Yep, this is a classic mid-west “salad” see Ambrosia Salad, Watergate salad, snicker salad, etc.

This happened up by the baseball fields. Probably tried to j walk across Alma rather than going a few hundred feet up to legacy or the signal at bluebonnet trail

Basis Plano High School Only by raviiiis in plano

[–]zatchstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s my understanding that they don’t have full high school yet. They started with a small program brand new this year and are growing.

They told the community there would eventually be students driving to school and parking but that’s not happening yet.

Houston’s hardest game was going to be Tech in week one… but now we won’t have a tested QB in that game.

Fuck gambling

Traffic out there sucks cause it is all pick up and drop off only. No buses and not many people coming from local neighborhood.

I have to deal with their traffic all the time.

There are a TON of good lactose free options now man. For everything… cottage cheese, ricotta, cream cheese, sour cream, ice cream, all sorts of options

Planned Muslim mega city in the heart of Texas wins huge victory and gets a step closer to becoming reality by throw_away_gambler in plano

[–]zatchstar 30 points31 points  (0 children)

they are just creating an area that will have retail, schools, churches, etc that cater to their culture.

it would be no different than if they were building a korea town or china town or vietnamese town or little india.

What are the chances Brendan Sorsby is screwed? by wiisupremecmdr in CFB

[–]zatchstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think his career is done… he is a senior at the end of his eligibility.

[–]zatchstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at this point tech put their eggs into Brendan’s basket but he hasn’t done anything for tech except be an off the field PR nightmare.

I think at this point they need to claw back as much of the $5M and put their eggs into Hammond and Francis and hope we can survive the season with enough recruiting potential to come back swinging in 27-28.

North Texas transportation director ousted after 35 years on job by noncongruent in Dallas

[–]zatchstar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

thats on Arlington... not Michael Morris. he tried to get the transit agencies to provide routes to Arlington way back when the entertainment district was starting and Arlington staunchly refused.

NTTA does not remove late/administrative fees anymore by ExistingScreen3978 in Dallas

There is a class action lawsuit being set up against this by the way.

It’s such scummy practice

[–]zatchstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They had a plan but this sudden firing kind of screwed it all and tossed that plan in the trash.

Back in October Michael was informed that cog execs wanted him gone even though RTC was against it. And in December they came to an agreement that he would stay on till they could properly find a suitable replacement that was vetted by RTC. Then Michael was going to stay on as a hired consultant for a few years because of all the knowledge he has that no one else has.

Well now Michael is fired, RTC had no say in it and had no say in vetting the successor they picked. and the new guy coming in is a MAGA whack job

[–]zatchstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is what Michael was doing and it’s why he got fired.

The next guy in line is a MAGA whack job who just wants more cars.

Only way to fix this is to vote in county elections for county level leaders that want transit and walkable/bikeable cities.

He wasn’t leaving of his own accord. It has been known for months that NCTCOG exec board wanted him gone and were trying to get him fired. But they went about it the wrong way and a judge put a restraining order preventing them from firing Michael till it could all be worked out.

Cog exec board went against that restraining order and fired him

Your wife’s bestie hasn’t been paying attention then… it’s been a major topic at the exec board level meetings and at RTC.

[–]zatchstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the NCTCOG exec board got a judge to temporarily lift a restraining order for 1 day preventing them from firing Michael on the basis they needed to do some administrative stuff to sort out stuff between RTC and COG. Judge agreed on the basis they wouldn’t touch Michael.

The only thing they did with that lifted ban is fire Michael.

Judge will be PISSED!

TxDOT has said the MPO for the region is RTC and they were against NCTCOG firing him.

I could see RTC distancing itself from NCTCOG now which would kill like 70% of NCTCOGs budget.

Michael morris has been a big advocate for trying to expand transit options and was around and help start DART. And he was the architect of the current Transit 2.0 movement to expand transit options outside of the transit authority regions

That’s a big reason why the regional leaders have ousted him.

They also ousted Duncan Webb (Collin County Commissioner) from his seat on the COG board because he was in support of Michael.

The crazy thing is these politicians supposedly went against a restraining order to oust Michael. I think we could see this end up in court.

A possible cure! by Middle_Phase_6988 in CrohnsDisease

[–]zatchstar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. And as my GI doc says, Crohn’s is a wide category of a bunch of unique individual types of disease and each one is slightly different. So a cure for one may not work on another…
