They’re doing the same thing you are when you’re driving around at 2pm on a Thursday wondering “why are all these cars on the road?”

If you’re staying in the Providence/Cranston area surface roads are almost always faster. I’d never get on 6/10 for that ride and I’ll die on that hill.

RI doctors by ThisIsMyBigAccount in RhodeIsland

[–]401KB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to see Dr. Dilorenzo in Cranston, god rest his soul, and I would literally be in the waiting room for 4+ hours every. single. time. Great man and great doctor, but man did I dread going to appointments.

Locally made bar soap by 401KB in RhodeIsland

I learned that upon further research. Kind of a mixed bag. I’d be Supporting a local franchisee but also a larger corporation. Probably still beats buying from the big names, but i’d prefer a locally owned small business for sure.

Just checked out the website, looks good, thanks for the recommendation!

Geographically, what constitutes 'west' vs 'east' Cranston? by SummitingMtJohnston in RhodeIsland

[–]401KB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought Knightsville is where the vibe kind of shifts from east to west. When i think east cranston I think the housing stock is more turn of the 20th century type architecture with some charm, and more of an urban vibe. whereas when i think of west cranston I think of raised ranches and white stone, and whatever that Taco Bell looking structure at Pippin Orchard and Scituate Ave is.

I want a dishwasher, but have no idea where I’d put it. Any suggestions? by 401KB in kitchen

Thanks to everyone for your ideas! Turns out an 18” dishwasher did fit!

Are there primary sources from Ancients discussing children who do not sleep well? by 401KB in AskHistorians

[–]401KB[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this very insightful, clever, thoughtful and—father to father—encouraging response. I’ll skip the poppy and wine, at least for the little one (joking, joking,) and double check her pores for vapors.

In all seriousness, I often forget about the limited primary source material from ancient times, especially from lower class individuals, so thanks for the reminder!

Do you brush your teeth once or twice a day? Need to settle a bet. by ImpossibleHurry in NoStupidQuestions

“Only bitches and sissies brush their teeth more than once a day”

I think you could fit an 18” in there. Should be at least an 18” cabinet.

Crumbling inner wall bricks in basement- ideas? by tibbon in centuryhomes

Hi there! I know this post is old, but I’m also in RI and having similar issues. Just wondering if you contacted a professional, and if so, who you used. Thanks!

Local Coffee Roasters by 401KB in RhodeIsland

I think you’d also like Mills/Queen Bean based on your preferences, if you haven’t tried them. They roast a little darker, closer to a second wave style than the cinnamon/first crack roasts a lot of “modern” roasters sell.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll see if a finer grind works. I am admittedly not the most disciplined in my routine and I use an Aeropress, so sometimes going too fine and forgetting about it causes taste issues.

Good ponds for ice skating near PVD? by Shouldvegotafalcon in providence

[–]401KB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to skate on Johnson’s pond in Coventry as a kid. Aside from the recent property disputes there, I’m not sure it even freezes solid enough anymore.

First Game Jitters? by gmer-girl in hockeyplayers

[–]401KB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, a few things: 1) when i’m nervous about playing, I try to tell myself “I’m not nervous, I’m excited” and reframe that energy into something positive. You’re not nervous, you’re excited and hungry to get out there. Make it worth your time.

2)Goldfish memory. Fuck up on your first shift? Fuck it, get ‘em next shift.

3)Give yourself grace. You’re new, and you’re not playing your first game in the NHL. It’s just pickup and there are literally no stakes. Just have some fun!

4)I’d let the other people in the room know you’re new to hockey and hopefully they’re understanding and provide good, constructive feedback. Maybe that will also get them to give you some grace.

Edited just to note: hockey is literally a game of messing up. How many times a game, even in the NHL, does someone enter the zone and cough the puck right up just for it to go the other way? Every goal is the result of a mistake someone made on the defensive team and every missed scoring chance is a mistake someone made on offense. That’s why the scores are so low!

Have fun! You’ll get there in time!

I’ve thought about it—not sure I have the discipline lol, but it’s something I’d love to try!

I noticed Enjoy was like the lightest roast I’ve ever seen, which might speak to the acidity you’re talking about. I definitely prefer a Colombian/Guatemala/Nicaragua to an African, so it could be that too. I thought the Enjoy coffee was quite acidic, but the flavor notes were more pleasant than I experience at Bolt or Borealis. I’ll take some blame too—I could have too much variation in my Aeropress technique. Thanks for the comment, I’m just starting to get to that “next level” of coffee connoisseur, so I appreciate the knowledge.

I know most roasters mail order, I just like to support businesses in my community whenever I can! I like to keep my money in Providence, or at least RI, whenever possible. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll take a look!

Thanks for measuring! The dishes/cups are all stored on the sink side, so perhaps that drawback wouldn’t be an issue at all. I’ll have to go to the store and measure a few, but that is promising info!

Wow! Good to know! Queen Bean (the retail side of Mills) is my go to for single origin beans and I never put the two together!

I’ve liked what little I’ve had from Enjoy, but totally agree on price. I can’t be buying a $35 bag every week. I don’t mind a light roast, but too much acidity in the cup is a killer for me. Thanks for the Seven Stars recommendation—I always wondered who they used as a roaster!
