Patently false. Have you not been paying attention?

Unless there's an easy way to identify these batteries (or an enforced way to prevent them from being sold) - a blanket ban is the only way buildings can really handle this.

They're banning ebike batteries, not all batteries.

I think they've always had them. At least since I got mine last year.

The technology is amazing.

No.

People with dignity and self-respect.

OMNY cards let you "share" to hit fare caps (like sharing unlimited cards).

Unlimited are objectively better value (if you're consistently hitting 11+ rides a week).

"cash grab"

You can already use your transit/commuter card with OMNY cards.

Refillable card for the OMNY system. Basically a moden metrocard you add value to online/at kiosks.

I still don't get how the MTA hasn't realized there's easy money to be made in selling OMNY cards with different designs. They should have been doing it with metrocards (and not the 2 random promos they just tossed in random machines).

Sell some cooler designs for an extra $5, and you'll have people collecting all of them.

Tech workers who signed a contract and dont want to be sued: lol yup

You seem to think all employment is at-will. Listen to the people correcting you instead of covering your ears and shaking your head.

Christ, imagine writing so much and saying litterally nothing.

>Any intentional physical touch can be considered assault.

This is 100% correct, and your response of "serious injury is needed!" is pedantic and not relevant to the point.

Any intentional physical touch can be considered a form of assault in New York. Even if the offense doesn't have the word "assault" in it.

>It's not pedantic.

The slogan of the pedant.

The umbrella of "assault" covers several different offenses. While you are correct that the specific offense being referred to by the proposal requires serious injury, the comment you originally replied to was:

>It’s odd to me that any assault isn’t a felony.

To which arguing the point about serious injury is pedantic to point of almost being irrelevant.

Copying my response to your other reply:

>While they are not labeled "assault", there are various different offenses that fall under that same article you listed that don't require injury.

>Arguing that it isn't assault because the offense isn't named "___ assault" in NY is pedantic.

While they are not labeled "assault", there are various different offenses that fall under that same article you listed that don't require injury.

Arguing that it isn't assault because the offense isn't named "___ assault" in NY is pedantic.

Great. Start with nuclear plants.

So you never use a toilet outside of your home? Because if you do, I have some unfortunate new for you...

I can see why you would conflate those two.

Having a brain and using it.

No, but okay.
