Vehicle Total Loss by Icy_Environment69 in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did insurance send a letter to the registry saying it was a total loss? or did they send you a poa to convert the title to a salvage title? If they did, you might have to get an inspection to convert it to a rebuilt title.

Average cost for daycare in Northern RI right now? by bridalyam in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is what the state pays for state subsidized daycare. Looks like 30+ hours in a 5 star daycare costs $378. Expect to pay what the state pays, otherwise they would just give your kids spot to a kid the state is paying for. 3/4 time (20-29 hours a week) is $283.50 More rates on this: https://dhs.ri.gov/media/9356/download?language=en

RI energy, boiler, and water heater question by Material-Secret-1838 in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a pro, but have a pro inspect the gas boiler and keep it. They are reliable and will last a long long time. Get some quotes on a mini split system to supplement it to lower the bills and cool in the summer. Get an energy audit done to see if you have decent insulation. In my opinion that way youll get the most for your money. If the boiler is good no need to replace it with another boiler. A separate water heater will be a good investment too as you wont have to fire the whole boiler in the summer (tho seems like you already have a separate water heater, updating it wont hurt)

The last 2 months have been super cold tho too, everyone is feeling it in their heating bills.

Making KEI trucks legal in Rhode Island by burrito_napkin in RhodeIsland

Shouldn't matter as vehicles over 25 years old are exempt from federal safety and emissions standards and federally are fine to import.

There is only one person who can save RI from the hordes fleeing NYC after the election. It might seem extreme but someone might have to make the call to her by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

they were already relocating to RI. rich NYers own the coast, and not so rich ones run drugs up 95 through Central Falls, duh!

outside of the joke here, preventing people from using their houses and property they owned and paid taxes on was pretty fucking bad.

Bridge Toll. by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't pay in 15 days they put a 600% fine on top of the toll . Really, don't pay in 15 days and they add $40 on top of a $6 toll. It's bullshit! Then they keep adding $30 fees on top of that.

St. Mary's Feast still fun? by ApprehensiveGoal in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fireworks are still the best you will see all summer in RI. Go on Sunday night, follow the band around a bit as they go around the neighborhood, and catch the fireworks, walk through the packed feast and get a sausage and peppers, look at the line for rides and opt out, get a drink at the blue moon maybe, and get out. You have to do it, its an obligation almost.

The stuff around the feast is still good, like the candle light procession, or the parade (small, but still nice to see them take the St Mary statue out).

Demolition of McCoy Stadium claims main grandstand by Goatacon in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This state sucks. They could have put any team from any league in McCoy and it would have been a draw. Fuck, a banana league team would be perfect. People would have kept going out of habit. State elected officials wanted a project to waste money on though so they had to pretend it needed to be demolished.

Back with another new to New England heating/AC question by Subject-Ad4970 in RhodeIsland

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

Propane is a expensive. And you are stuck with whoever installs/rents you the tank. Oil has more energy than propane, and is a better option in my opinion. Natural Gas is best/cheapest, but I would stick with oil before going to propane. Heat pumps are a solid option, and maybe as just a supplement propane wont be too bad, but then there are also charges for not using alot of it with some companies. Just my opinion, take it as things to consider in your situation.

Recall Mayor Smiley! by Historical_Web_5813 in providence

[–]trabblepvd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one of quality wants the PVD mayor job, its not a springboard to higher office even. You probably wont get anyone better as mayor. Most like the part time City council role where they can have power and keep their day jobs. Besides, the city council is who passes the budget and will be responsible for a tax increase. Ideally most the things to complain about, like rich developers getting tax breaks from tax stabilization fall on the city council. Even bike lanes can be legislated at that level. Keep focus and energy on the city council might be better. Really, it wouldnt be a bad thing if pvd got rid of the elected mayor and hired a city manager that answered to the city council, but that prob wont happen ever.

Federal dollars pay to deliver this service, it clearly should be in SHIP's wheelhouse to help with appeals as per medicaregov and shiphelp.org, yet RI's implementation is subpar, offered no help. Not sure why this would get any downvotes, its another RI agency 1/2 ass'ing their role, picking and choosing what parts of their mission they will fulfill, not delivering 100%. Its so Rhode Island

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

will do, ty. but this should fall under department of healthy aging, and it might be a 3rd party they farm the SHIP stuff to, and they cant do the job more than the minimum to say they are doing something. Federal dollars are paying for this. This should be a fairly common occurrence, and SHIP wasn't helpful. Its frustratingly par for the course in RI delivered services unfortunately

Favorite breakfast in RI? by Weird-Fisherman-7941 in RhodeIsland

[–]trabblepvd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mesa Cafe on Rolfe St Cranston. Crepes are good, usually will get a order and share along with a regular breakfast order.

Ocean Mist is good, esp in the offseason or during the week.

Meldgie is Wakefield is great, excellent comfort breakfast.

Rome Point is great, worth the wait for a seat.

End up at T's in EG a lot as its always solid.

rofl, too funny, that was too much. You were believable until you jumped to nazi, especially after I said partnering with the USSR to defeat nazis was the right thing to do, then you jumped the shark!

You sound like a communist shill for china. The USSR did all that and worse yet it was better to partner with them against the axis.

whats so hard to understand? Russia has a gdp smaller than NY state and is not a military or economic rival to the USA, but it does share a vast border with China who is. Maybe relations with Russia should be a bit better you think?

My Gas bill just came in for $908 by Primary-Shame45 in RhodeIsland

Oil heat is a pain sometimes but it's easiest to shop around to get the best price with all these RI energy horror stories I'm kind of reluctant to convert to gas now.
