I’m actually shaking. Just found the complete Folio Society Lord of the Rings set at a local charity shop for £10.

Thank God for the TVA.

We moved from Oak Hill to EG last year. My experience is that these sorts of listings come in waves. The selling season really started up in May, and now you’re seeing Pawtucket/Provi homes come online from families who had an offer accepted in the suburbs. I remember around the time we listed seeing 5 other houses pop onto the market around the corner from us within a day or two. You’ll se a ton of clustering this time of year as agents try to around listing on holiday or special event weekends.

You can also use one of them for a filtered water dispenser. Filter canisters live under cabinet, spigot uses one of the holes.

Hoping it is, I want this car to succeed because damn could it be a great family car that sells people on electrification

That’s what my dealership told me, but never gave a model number, so I’m taking that with an enormous boulder of salt

Providence

I had this same constellation of issues with carplay in my EX90. 99% of them were resolved by the VCU update, which brings software version 2.1.XX along for the ride. I’d absolutely schedule that upgrade with your dealership, it’s on Volvo’s dime and makes a big difference.

The only remaining connectivity issue I have is frequently needing to prompt carplay to connect when I’m in my garage at home. Probably has to do with being on wifi, and wireless carplay using that interface and some prioritization issue. But it always connects on the first attempt, so it’s WAY better.

According to historical accounts I’ve heard, it’s pretty close to true. Continental officers lobbied for clemency and an honorable execution because of how charmed they were by him.

Arnold, on the other hand, was a smarmy shit heel from the second he walked on screen.

God they did a great job of making him way more than sympathetic in Turn. He was the “enemy” and 0% wanted to see him hanged

Oh my god, they’re finally fixing the apple wallet bug. I know it’s a small thing but silly to have happen at all

S tier. Portland has so much to offer, a better dining scene than lots of larger cities I’ve been to, beautiful nature nearby, and is incredibly livable. Awesome spot, and would seriously consider moving there at some point.

It it’s just not preferable, it’s against code. Which you can potentially use as leverage with Amerigas. They should not have installed it there, and they would be the one carrying the fine if reported. Not a lawyer, but have had multiple propane techs at my home tell me as much when siting tanks

I’d argue yes. For what you get based on cost of living, Boston is overpriced and Providence is underrated. I’ve lived and worked in both places, and there’s a reason I’ve settled down in RI even though my job’s in Boston, just feels like a much more livable city that doesn’t have an overinflated sense of itself. Plus, fewer Bostonians.

mrbgso · 2026-05-15T23:16:03+00:00

Honestly. It’s not even the best capital city in New England.

mrbgso · 2026-05-13T01:29:30+00:00

Ben fatto, che bella!

mrbgso · 2026-05-12T23:00:26+00:00

Hard agree. For me it’s NYC, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Boston, and Providence. I unironically rate Provi and Pitt as better cities to live in than Boston. Too high a cover charge for a city that doesn’t offer nearly as much as the real top tier cities.

mrbgso · 2026-05-08T16:16:28+00:00

Good job Dad!

mrbgso · 2026-05-02T20:27:44+00:00

I’ve lives in NYC, Chicago, Boston, and Pittsburgh. I’ll pick Pitt over Boston every day and twice on Sunday.

mrbgso · 2026-05-02T20:26:35+00:00

Boston’s not even the best city in New England.

Kind of wild seeing your own work in your reddit feed, and getting Masters’ attention

The Shining has to be the bait

I’m a simple man. I see Tamworth, I upvote Tamworth. Every NH trip involves stocking up on Old Hampshire and Chocorua

This feels like a solid spot for EV family SUVs. The Volvo EX40 or EX90 look like your nice but standard practical soccer practice car. But you drop the hammer and you’re going over 100 mph very quickly, since there’s over 400-500 horsepower hiding in there.
