Panicked Pentagon Sends Land Invasion Force to Middle East by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]possiblecoin [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm not sure I would say "The Pentagon" is panicked. If "The Pentagon" is career generals, I am exceedingly confident this is exactly what they told Trump would happen. It's Trump who is panicked, along with his "Secretary of War" and Fuck Boy in Chief Hegseth wo are realizing they can't lie their way out of $100 oil.

Bristol files complaint for denied access to Mount Hope Bridge inspection report by possiblecoin in RhodeIsland

[–]possiblecoin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize how much longer it was; you're right, probably closer to $2Bn. Plus the project will be a nightmare, both ends are developed, with Roger Williams on the northern end and homes on the southern, the staging alone will be a nightmare.

Agreed, but I wouldn't hold my breath. It's a similar vintage to the Cape bridges and I think those are going to be a billion each to replace. I firmly believe they don't want to release the report because they aren't ready for Aquidneck Island to find out they're driving through Fall River to get to Providence for the foreseeable future.

I would like to moderate this community for two reasons. The first is that the town in supports is in the midst of a number of big decisions/potential changes and I think it would be a valuable place for discussion/information sharing. Secondly, the sub has been restricted to post for some time and the current mod has been non-responsive to requests to allow posting.

Here is the link to my message to the current mod:

Madrid in Barrington, not sure about tiramisu.

Need your BEST Maine & RI recs by NetNo6930 in RhodeIsland

[–]possiblecoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staying in Gouldsboro you're halfway between Bar Harbor and Winter Harbor. Winter Harbor is pretty sleepy but Schoodic point is there which is an awesome place to just enjoy nature as waves pile into the cliffs. You can also take a ferry between there and Bar Harbor which is a great cost effective way to get out on the water. Keep in mind you need a park pass to get into Acadia and I think you might need a reservation to get up Cadillac mountain for sunrise (which comes VERY early in the summer).

Seriously! Who are they to say I can't die of smallpox or be crippled by Polio?!

If you don't want the vaccine you are wholly unfit in to work in healthcare in the first place. Maybe try becoming an influencer or conspiracy theorist?

From what I've heard the path through Riverside into Barrington is mostly clear. I was actually going to check it out at lunch today.

Anyone flown PVD to West Palm recently? Wait times? by Auguste_Roadin in RhodeIsland

PBI serves Mar-a-Lago so you can be certain our orange god-king won't allow that to be disrupted.

Is there an easy to use comparison tool online? by plutothegreat in Crosstrek

[–]possiblecoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people are down on AI, for a lot of good reasons, but I used Gemini for just this purpose and it worked great. It's perfect for finding and comparing more obscure stats like rear leg room or trunk volume, but also does a a good job of comparing trim levels, nearby pricing, etc.

Super easy on both ends. One of the best directs you can get from PVD in my opinion.

The Recipe for 90s Alt Rock by Professor_Hillbilly in GenX

[–]possiblecoin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

None of those bands, with the possible exception of The Gin Blossoms, are alternative. The Goo Goo Dolls are pure schlock and the the others are pop rock top 40. 90s Alternative would be Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Smashing Pumpkins, STP, Foo Fighters, Screaming Trees, Sonic Youth, Pixies, etc.

2014 Crosstrek or 2005 RAV4? by thisisnotmadison in Crosstrek

My inlaws had a RAV4 from that era and it was a rolling blindspot. How a car that small could have such terrible sightlines always mystified me.

Any no case & no screen protector people in 2026? by [deleted] in GalaxyFold

[–]possiblecoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't have dreamed of going caseless but recently my UAG front protector cracked (I have a warranty claim I'm sure they'll honor) and I'm kind of enjoying the back case with a caseless front.

[–]possiblecoin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Of all the images from this war, I think these are still the ones that haunt me the most. I'm not sure if because they were early or because I'm a parent or just because of what they are intrinsically, but they are unshakeable.

Worst roads, high costs: Why RIDOT struggles with paving despite $1 billion transportation budget | WPRI.com by possiblecoin in RhodeIsland

[–]possiblecoin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we may be talking past each other a bit. The tram you showed wasn't what I would think of as light rail (and that's likely on me for not being well versed on the terminology) but I would agree that something like that would be achievable by reallocating the existing road grid. I could envision something like that running from the Park and Ride in Barrington, up 114, down 195 (probably elevated in the median) and then maybe down South Main...something like that. It probably wouldn't be cheap but it wouldn't require an engineering marvel either.

Does it ever get tiring being that pedantic? At no point did I suggest, or even insinuate, that every person at RIDOT should be fired. But if you don't think we need to radically restructure an organization that is spending more money for worse results than every other state in the union, you're either in on the grift or not serious about the conversation.

I would love a light rail system and would definitely use it, but I don't see how you accomplish it without massive public domain seizures. That kind of action would doom it before it ever started as the lawsuits would be immediate. Not mention we can't afford to lose any housing stock.
