Reply to comment by Oh-Kaleidoscope in City to introduce Providence Community Electricity Program, offer electricity at lower rates than Rhode Island Energy by relbatnrut
Likely hedging their bets. GM was fighting against fossil fuel and pollution legislation when they were producing their first electric cars in the 90s. If the regulations went through, they'd be ready. As soon as their lobbying killed the legislation, they had all the electric cars crushed.

Reply to comment by DrewCrew62 in City approves 5-story College Hill apartments despite complaints about noisy students by cowperthwaite
A while back I saw a projo article about a lady who was apparently a prisoner in her own home or whatever because of late night noise. She'd bought a condo above a nightclub.

Reply to comment by jdmess401 in RI State Inspection: Will this pass? (more detail in comments) by SquatC0bbler
okay so this doesn't actually match with my experience. If you fail an inspection, you'll be in the system and it will say you failed, so when you go to another place it will indeed say that you failed but that doesn't stop them from just re-inspecting your car. I did exactly this. My car failed inspection at a dealer, but passed at an independent place.

Reply to comment by Previous_Floor in Thoughts on speed-bumps around the city? by TartProfessional246
That's why the ones in Providence have gaps. They're called speed "humps" or "cushions." The channels allow emergency vehicles to take them at speed.

Reply to Why does Rhode Island College have such a negative reputation? Is it that bad? by PinkSwallowLove
I got a great education at RIC. If you don’t have a lot of money, you should absolutely go there instead of one of the bigger schools.

In my experience anywhere you go is only going to give you like $150 anyway. Scrapping a car doesn't pay much.

yeah, PF doesn't have regular barbells. Instead they have smith machines, which are barbells on a guide that you can rack at any point if you need to. You put plates on them same as you would a barbell. I squat and deadlift with them just fine.

I know Dash on Broadway has a courier service, though you'll have to ask them if they are hiring.

For your own sake, its better to just let it go. Keep aware, head on a swivel, trust no one, and don't get mad if no one got hit. No blood, no foul. Otherwise you're just going to make yourself crazy getting worked up over this.

I wear a Burton Covert snowboard jacket, though I don't actually snowboard. Its a great jacket from late fall, through winter and into early spring because its made to be layered. In the dead of winter, with a wool sweater underneath, I'm sweating while shoveling, but unlayered I'm still wearing it in March.

Reply to looking for restaurants that serve Rhode island clam chowder ideally close to 95. any suggestions. thx by didiot2000
Anthony's Seafood in Middletown. Not near 95, but it was on Diners Drive-ins and Dives once for what its worth. If you're just driving through, going through the island would probably be a nicer drive anyway.
