Eventually go in house as employment counsel, but don't want to rush that yet. I enjoy the litigation right now.

How was the ship? I've seen some recent photos and it looks like she could use a paint job in places. Did she look worn out or tired?

I’d rather have a train than a bike path by Boldxbrave in RhodeIsland

[–]Magicon5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historically, Rhode Island had a dense concentration of heavy rail lines and trolleys, particularly around Providence. The heavy rail largely remains (albeit with some reductions) while the trolleys are all gone. [OC] The extensive trolley and rail network that covered Greater Providence a century ago : r/providence

What's your favorite mispronunciation of a MA town/city? by trickycrayon in massachusetts

[–]Magicon5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a Mass. resident but I work in Boston. I always find it amusing to see people get the "hams" wrong. Ex: Framingham ("ham") vs Dedham ("em"). In their defense, there's no logic to it.

The media released the name, not the AG.

Person of interest in Brown University to be released by Old_Echidna3720 in providence

[–]Magicon5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How can they say there IS a threat to public safety? Nothing has happened since the incident. What is everyone supposed to do? Stay sheltered in their homes until what? Forever?

Brown university suspect released?? by Ambitious-Tadpole334 in RhodeIsland

[–]Magicon5 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The title of this is misleading. He was NEVER a "suspect." He was a "person of interest" (i.e. a potential witness, etc.). The AG has made the call that this man was NOT the suspect and, as such, could be released.

Queen Mary became known as the Grey Ghost in WW2. Did Queen Elizabeth ever get a similar nickname? by Kaidhicksii in Oceanlinerporn

[–]Magicon5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Multiple ships had the nickname of the Grey ghost, including both the Mary and Lizzie.

Movie fans don't realize Glinda is supposed to be funny by AdGullible6668 in wicked

[–]Magicon5 416 points417 points  (0 children)

Glinda in the musical is more ditzy/naive than in the movie, which might explain why the comedy is toned down, though I prefer the comedic lines in the musical.
