Unclear if they are charged by battery swapping or being taken to a third location -- but either way in a world where they'd sell them would they not include a charger?

I've been sad about this sale for a few weeks -- was a pretty heavy Jump bike user in DC and they've just been sitting on the streets disabled -- vanished from the apps overnight. They were/are well built machines and I hope

Is this true? The "hype" continues to be NE-IPAs - which contain as many hops as anything around, and (admittedly, I know less about this world) big giant BA stouts. Maybe more kettle sours are being brewed, but sold?

Seems technology sparing. One of the big things that this crisis has made me realize about uber/lyft/airbnb and other disruptive entrants in regulated spaces is that they have to have footprint in pretty much every market they ope

I am on the east coast and all of the universities have closed -- but people are still acting strange about WFH at my product company(which has full remote devs and other employees, regular WFH days, etc). It is disheartening to be made to

I believe the now shuttered "Roundhouse" at Stateville in IL would qualify. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h3WuvN44-fo/WAFxp1I1-CI/AAAAAAAAa...

Would add Permutation City. Shades of the matrix, anticipation of public clouds/floating markets for compute(spot instances), interesting 'what is consciousness' re: software copies of a person's mind, etc. https:/

This whole thing has been nuts. It's clear no one who invested late ever actually believed in the valuations -- matt levine says it better "We came to market and public investors informally expressed some skepticism and its priva

Started reading with intent of recommending grey market quinn. It is a weird deficiency, finding (free or not)tetris without some weird social integration or online play etc. I guess emulators fall into the same grey market spot.

Notably the Salem community college program has produced a number of the big names in "scientific" glass pipe blowing(i.e. bong moguls). I'd imagine the money is better making high end smoking apparatus than lab gear.

Atlanta proper is super gay(I am a gay who grew up in the south), I think a few years back it was the highest percentage of any city in the country. The issue with Atlanta as others have said is it is hugely sprawly and the actual city does

perhaps you could lay concrete down shortly before the machine goes over and it'd adhere that way but I had the same thought.

No worries, really a minor thing but is happening for me on both chrome latest(43.0.2357.130 64bit) and firefox developer 40.0a2 on OS X 10.10.4. Click log in, pops up a window where I either login or it says "use this account you&#x27

I think a lot is somewhat of an overstatement. When I've looked at voat it seems to be just reposts from reddit and things that explicitly trash reddit. Voat's identity at this point is something like SASS was for somethingawful,

The insanity of the charges/sentencing reminds me of a passage from The Hot House (which is excellent, Pete Earley somehow got permission to go mingle with prisoners at USP Leavenworth for a year and write about it). A Bank Robber, 45
