From my experience not knowing your neighbors is a good thing. The only neighbors i knew were a complete pain in my ass. If you don't want to get ripped off don't come to nyc.

This is a good thing. You don't want airbnbs in the city. Imagine your "neighbor" is a revolving door of tourists and people visiting nyc to party. You could complain to your landlord but he dosent give a shit because he just made in a week what you pay monthly.

Reply to comment by Ryuuken1127 in FDNY wants to up the cost of ambulance rides by more than 50% by NYY657545
I used to be an EMT . There are frequent flyers with non emergency issues very often and they deff take up resources. Most of the time it's just elderly people who are on medicare. These people are usually poor and they use it as a way to get free medication. There are also people with mental illness who have some episode. Bringing them to a hospital does not really solve the issue but we have no other way to deal with these kinds of people besides the police. But the worst kind of people are the ones who are just trying to score narcotics. I didn't see that happen to often but i imagine it does in worse areas.

They should put up signs and graphic images of victims on the back and tops of train cars.

Not a bad idea. I believe they do this to people who get caught drunk driving.

Was thinking that to. That's a lot of family to have over 90 years.

Reply to comment by VincentNacon in Fires from exploding e-bike batteries multiply in NYC — sometimes fatally by zsreport
When batteries fail its typically not due to over heating but rather a loose piece of metal contacting the wrong terminal, or water damage. Having them spread out might help these issues but then you need much more wiring to connect all these batteries. Plus how would you remove them from inside the frame once they need to be replaced?

Its extremly difficult to compartmentalize batteries and have them fit a nice form factor to fit inside pevs. Most bats I've seen are Lion which are really just 24+ single cell batteries spot welded together. I suspect some of these welding are shotty. Also i see a lot of people riding in the rain... yeah that does not mix. Even with claims that your device is waterproof. Don't think anything will change until battery tech gets much better.

It takes longer because setting up the robot takes time . It's also more complex so inheritly there will be more hang ups. It can move in ways our hands can' t so surgeons can do some neat stuff with it. There are some surgeries i would just get done lap and not robotic.

I had some great pick ups. But I've noticed that most places will give you croissants, bagels,breads typically heavy on carbs. There are a few grocery stores and I've gotten bags of produce for $10.
