Don’t know about that community but in general most communities live close before gentrification.

It's not because they move voluntarily, it's because the cost of everything has gone up.

People prefer to live and establish roots near their own. That’s just normal in any big diverse city.

It was good for breakfast on the way into the office. Grab a yogurt, the cup with 2 hard boiled eggs and spinach, and when it was on special a coffee.

You shouldn't' have sympathy for the union bureaucracy, which does everything it can against its own members and FOR private healthcare. But you should sympathize with those members who want you,too, to have good health coverage.

Not if they can’t get in without being identified and tied to a credit card. That’s the beauty of amazons tech

>That warning is because of what happens if you crush a phone (it’s a battery fire)
Interesting - I assumed the warning was to keep you from annoying the shit out of your seatmates/the flight attendants trying to get it lol.

A lot of hate for Amazon Go stores in this thread, but working in an office complex that has one has been great. Food and drink are far cheaper than any place else in the neighborhood. I can pop in and (yes) pick up milk at lunch to take home, a coffee, a fountain soda, a soup, a salad, bagel, yogurt, ice cream, headache pills or a Slim Jim for lunch. The selection is great, the prices are great, and the just walk out tech is amazing. You can literally be in and out in under a minute most of the time.
I love Amazon Go.

That’s all the more reason why cyclist should be discouraging other riders from playing stupid games with drivers. Blowing a red light puts you in direct danger of getting hit.
Stop encouraging cyclist to bust mirrors, scratch paint, dent panels, purposely slow down in front of drivers. Shit like that should be downvoted, but it’s not.

That's part of it. It's also continued use of batteries that have been damaged, use of cheap chargers that don't automatically stop charging when battery is full, use of third party chargers to lower charging time, user modified bikes to bypass 20 mph speed limit.

There's a huge Amazon version of this in NJ, it's a game changer. Totally different when you go to the size of a real grocery store, it's going to change everything once it gains steam and gets implemented everywhere.

As u/pixel_of_moral_decay's comment said, it was ultimately a proof-of-concept for their "Just Walk Out" technology.
The long-term plan for Amazon is to sell this tech to retailers across the world.
They've had five years to fine-tune the weight sensors, deep-learning, cameras, etc.

Ban e-cars.
Oh wait that's stupid. Why? Because they're regulated and held to a safety standard and pose less risk.

People will take anything not bolted down. And then they come back with bolt cutters.

E-Bikes are limited to 20 mph. If they go faster, they've been modified by the user.

I'm one of the few that lives close to one of these, and I pop in once a week to get some snacks, fountain soda, and some frozen dinners and dessert. Prices are comparable to other convenience stores and the novelty definitely is, well, novel. But I've never once seen it busy.

Reply to Police arrest suspect in rape of woman on the Upper West Side by dosmey
> McIver already has an attempted rape case pending from 2019, when he broke into a sleeping 16-year-old girl's Bronx bedroom. He was caught in that case following a tip from neighbors and is due back in court March 29.
According to Pix11, he was out on ROR:
> McIver was already facing an ongoing Bronx case dating to April 2019 and was free on his own recognizance, police sources said. Public online court records indicate that McIver had pleaded guilty to burglary in that case, and that other charges included sex abuse.
