It actually is a big frickin deal. I have my MA license, A federal ID, and bunch more documents like bank statements, utility bills in my name and I had been trying to get a real ID for last 4 years.

They just keep giving me shit unless I go and get a passport for $500 which I do not need or make use of in the near future.

It is just another government racket to extract more money from people who can afford it the least.

Not really, no. Lots of the training videos I had to watch was on YouTube.

Is reddit social media? I had more questions answered here about computers and PowerShell.

My kids'school has a Facebook page, any important message like school closures due to snow, buses running late etc gets posted first.

Any work place banning me not to be able to access those is losing me as a potential employee.

It has been a couple years since I have been that way. There were 5 liquor stores per Dunkin.

Take that as you will.

All to each own I guess, I'd rather live in say Berkeley and work in Norton or Providence and be 30 minutes from both Boston and Providence for the weekends.

And there is lots of manufacturing going on around Kingstown

That is very interesting to me.

I live in Bristol County, MA and lots of jobs in Providence, Warwick etc pay significantly better rates.

I don't understand why you would travel 30 minutes to Attleboro for a lower wage.

Most of the pellets produced in NE USA is sawmill waste, ie byproduct of hardwood flooring production.

I have a pellet stove and it works great no matter how cold it gets. Your only problem would be storing the pellets.

If you approach them and ask $10 for a can of FixaFlat, are they supposed to oblige?

/asking for a friend.

Fucking diabolical

TSC had cheapest at 304 per pallet, but they don't deliver home, you have to drive to store and pick the pallet.

Fireplace Showcase has couple different brands starting 299 upto 369. They deliver for an additional charge.

I placed my order late August and got delivery by October so prices may have changed some till than.

Are you looking to buy single bags or pallets?

Fireplace Showcase in Seekonk

Tractor Supply Company. These 2 will order pallets for you. TSC will deliver to store, FS delivers home for additional charge.

For single bags, TSC, Home Depot, Lowe's, some Ace

I am not saying the city is a lost cause. It used to be a huge manufacturing hub when Boston was under threat of being overrun by the Red Coats or when Russian nukes were aimed at it.

The company I work for does lots of business with overseas partners. We pay over 25K a month for a postage stamp sized space near the airport. We could get a much larger space in Springfield for 2500 but then we would be paying over 30K in trucking fees.

Not to mention, Providence has its own port and airport. Same for say New Bedford. Providence also is on the rail line and New Bedford is getting a rail line soon.

There just is too much real estate between Springfield and the major hub (Boston). Anywhere south of 128 is closer to the hub and similar cost to Springfield.

Why would any company have manufacturing/warehousing in Springfield when they can do the same in Taunton for the same price?

Where is the "Free Candy" sign go ?
