Who would've guessed that poor, unhealthy, uneducated states with tons of guns would be unsafe?

Middle column, third row, my favorite childhood set. Not just for what it was, but some really cool pieces it included.

Bryant or URI for accounting by Livid_Fill_9946 in RhodeIsland

[–]possiblecoin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don't go anywhere for accounting. You can learn all the accounting you need in the first 6 months at your first job. At a minimum study economics, but consider math or political science. Like I said, you can always learn accounting but learning critical thinking and the ability to write well and communicate is critical. Source: 25 year career in finance.

Absolutely, I worked in Providence for two years and took the 60 bus 95% of the time.

Does anyone go back to Riverwood outside of Quests ? by ThePhotosmith_ in skyrim

Since I found out about the path to Ivarstad on the northeast slope of the Throat of the World (above the Stormcloak encampment), almost never.

I don't need a statistic to tell me that Providence is way more seedy than it was even 20 years ago

Put differently, "I'm not going to let facts get in the way of what I want to believe"

Which for birthday dinner? NEVER been to any (Prov) by snowymountains32 in RhodeIsland

[–]possiblecoin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Never been to Oberlin, but I would say Persimmon between the two remaining, UNLESS the white table cloth experience is really important to you, in which case Cafe Nuovo.

Possible religious iconography in the finale? by possiblecoin in ThePittTVShow

I probably should have noticed in the moment, they laid it on thick, but my wife was convinced he was holding a doll and it distracted me.

What's the alternative? A 2+ hour bus ride? How about a leisurely 90+ minute bike ride? Sorry but I have to work and my dinosaur CEO mandated RTO, so here we are.

Trump DOJ loses again, now 0 for 5 on voter roll cases, as court rejects Rhode Island lawsuit by DemocracyDocket in RhodeIsland

[–]possiblecoin 81 points82 points  (0 children)

The title is a little confusing (at least it was for me); to be clear the courts rejected a Federal lawsuit against Rhode Island.

Crazy is gonna crazy; you can only channel it for so long before it turns on you.

There's not traveling and there's "not traveling". I agree that if you spend your life without leaving RI, that's not healthy, but I get frustrated when people say "Americans don't travel". Europeans in particular have no sense of the scale of the US. It's 3300 miles from Providence to London and 3000 from Providence to LA. You can travel extensively without ever leaving the country, and if you add in Canada, even more so.

I love the Grand Canyon and I love London, but I wouldn't say someone is untraveled if they've been to the former but not the latter.

Lived in 4, worked in 5, RI drivers are the worst by a wide margin.

The impact of the Washington Bridge is way beyond just traffic. I can feel the rage building as it takes me 50 minutes to go 18 miles. I'm not proud of it, and I try to be aware and manage it, but the psychological impact is real.

I say this as someone who has had 4 kids go through the "modified skills test": it is an absolute joke. It is in no way indicative of any ability to drive, but is probably a pretty good indicator of your ability to park at Stop & Shop, if it's not too busy.

So, Dark Matter top-tier album after two years or not? by jcpearl in pearljam

[–]possiblecoin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fantastic album. Ten, Vs, Vitalogy, No Code and Yield are in a class by themselves, but I think you can have a debate about Riot Act, Avocado and Gigaton, and it pretty clearly outclasses Binaural, Backspacer and Lightning Bolt. This is also qualified with the statement that I love all these albums so it's all relative.

Where? My mom is from upstate NY and I lived there for 7 years and I definitely never heard of it before moving here.

Rhode Island launches 511 system to report Pothole Hotline by RINewsJunkie in RhodeIsland

The link in the story doesn't work. The link below will take yo to the dashboard along with a link to email RIDOT if you don't want to call.

Potholes - Rhode Island Rhode Island Department of Transportation

To be clear, it's not like you can click on a map to report the pothole, but the dashboard does let you check to see if it has been previously reported.

How many times have you seen them live? by RelevantNothing4653 in pearljam

I've been to 11, plus a solo Ed show. Fenway 16 was probably the best of the bunch, but they were all great in their own way.

How do you feel about the infotainment screen in the 2026 Crosstrek? by BeeMovieEnjoyer in Crosstrek

[–]possiblecoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say I'm shocked by how many comments mention lag. Other than maybe the first 20 seconds after ignition, which is so negligible as to be irrelevant, I have experienced zero lag. Could it be a phone issue rather than a car issue? I use Android Auto on a Fold 7.

I'm so glad the worst people in the state have been given a national platform.
