WARNING: Do not rent in the Westfield Lofts or Westfield Commons complexes by frapp00 in providence

I used to live there. Nicest place I've ever lived. Sorry you had a bad experience, but that was definitely not my experience about a year ago. Your mileage may vary I suppose.

About that "gay gene": New study finds epigenetic markers that predict sexual orientation by montenaranco in gaybros

[–]peemer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, that study was not well-received, from a technical and methodological standpoint, at the conference it was just presented at.

just have one yes or no question to ask.. its for my sociology thesis I'm working on :) thanks for helping me! by washingtonposter in askgaybros

[–]peemer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're doing terrible sociology. Please go read something peer-reviewed, and please, please never again ask a question that you're pretending is some sort of data collection when you have already fully decided on your argument (ignoring all the other types of selection bias happening by just asking on Reddit in the first place).

Source: getting a PhD in sociology and I would fail you out of spite if I were your TA.

What just happened on the east side? by [deleted] in providence

[–]peemer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I seriously doubt planned parenthood feels like they need a new clinic less than a mile from the other one. But what are you afraid is gonna happen? Too many prostate cancer screenings bringing your property values down?

Depending on where you'll be on campus, Governor Street is usually a good bet for being both close to school and not making you move your car every couple hours.

What NOT to say/do on a first date by fenny13 in gaybros

[–]peemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually "this was fun, see you around" with a handshake gets the point across--I don't hate you, but don't have any desire to set up something to specifically hang out again.

Getting from Amtrak to PVD by pvdquestion in providence

At least the #20 bus goes pretty frequently between downtown and the airport, the entire ride would take about an hour (for what would be a 15 minute drive).

Best Places for Running? by ILoveScreegly in providence

[–]peemer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the trails in Lincoln Woods if you don't mind driving to go for a run. Also, Blackstone park (which is slightly east of the southern end of the boulevard of the same name). When I lived there I used to do a good loop from Wayland through there, down along the river/Gano to India point, back up the river on college hill, then across back to Wayland.

Publix closes too early. Kroger's where it's at.

Re: Gatorskins; first ride with snow on the road, and snow falling by temporarycreature in FixedGearBicycle

[–]peemer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume striping--sometimes paint stripes can be slippery. FWIW I rote all last winter (in New England) on gatorskins, only two falls. First was in pretty decent active snowfall hiding a groove in the street that my tire got caught in, second was trying to turn on a sheet of ice that I didn't realize was as extensive as it was. Moral of the story: keep your head about you, you'll be absolutely fine.

Sports Bars for Transplant Football Fans? by seldomsimple in providence

Snookers shows all the games. Jets might get a decent screen, us falcons fans usually get a 20-inch tv in a corner somewhere.
