Beautiful! Any thoughts on the Crow's Nest food?

Ah yes! RIPTA does run on old trolley/interurban routes, but the providence-Warren-Bristol-fall River route was entirely electrified heavy-rail! It was a unique system for RI!

Not entirely! Many of the old electric trolley lines are still followed by RIPTA routes.
Which, if anything, is one of the problems that holds RIPTA back from being a more effective system – we need to invest in new routes that mirror modern commuting patterns around the Providence metro area, not just ones that follow trolley routes from 100+ years ago.

Dr. Janine Connolly is amazing. I've been seeing her since my pregnancy. She delivered my son and I continue to see her on a regular basis for check-ups. She is warm and she listens to my concerns. I can't recommend her enough.

At one point I think you could have taken a trolley from Newport to Boston too.

Women and Infants in Providence is amazing. The gyno care I've received here has been gentle and non-judgemental.

In the 1930s, you could’ve taken a direct electric train from Fall River to Providence! Most of that former rail line is now the East Bay Bike Path/Warren bike path. It’s quite sad to think that at one point RI basically had a metro system… now it’s entirely gone

Would be cool if I could get from Fall River to Pawtucket to go to the Met without driving. That would be awesome.

Open Door Health is gay and awesome. Strong emphasis on consent which has always made me feel like I’m in control of my care, and body, at all times. I even feel comfortable enough to disclose that I’m a SWer. Highly recommend them for a safe and queer-friendly medical experience.

Ultimately, the station is a long-overdue win for Pawtucket. RIDOT should shift its focus to modernizing local transit connections... light rail should absolutely be considered moving forward, it is quite embarrassing that RI lacks any form of rail transit beyond the NEC. That being said, the previous plan for a dedicated right-of-way LRT between Central Falls and Olneyville should be considered.

Can confirm, Dr K wasn’t on call when my wife went into labor and she showed up to check in on us right after our son was delivered. I can’t recommend her enough

Center for obgyn in Providence right near the mall is great! The front desk people are meh but every doctor I've interacted with has been excellent.
My doctor, Dr. Kreczko, is the kindest soul who sincerely cares about her patients. She personally called me at 9pm on a week night the night I miscarried my first pregnancy to talk me through it. Seriously, this woman cares.

If you're open to seeing a midwife I am very happy with the care I've received (prenatal and just routine stuff) at Lifespan OBGYN midwives' group. I think there's maybe 7 of them and they are all wonderful
Edit: All of them are absolutely LGBTQ+ friendly but I would specifically recommend Nicole Heig

Had a terrible experience with a male OB-GYN there. Not sure if he's still there but I absolutely would not recommend him

It's hard to find out who accessed your network without you monitoring it to begin with. And most services are directed to businesses, not a home usage. The other thing is that there won't be traces of how someone got access to your network. My question is how do you know your network was compromised? Was there something that tipped you off to this?

You’re looking for someone with forensic cybersecurity background. It’s a bit more specialized than just regular cybersecurity. I’ve been in the industry for a few years, I have some forensic skill sets. Whatyou need is more specialized than just some person who has a security + and an IT background.

Awesome! Have fun (and go join SBOL; several NE people active, last so checked). Most people think Skiboards (wood core, sidewall) = Snowblades (foam core, junk edge); that’s usually the issue.
Be prepared to chat on every chairlift about them! They do get quite a few double-takes and inquiries.

Thanks! Just ordered a pair of Summits last night. I did look at RVL8s but ultimately went with the Summits.
I rode them about 10ish years ago as an alternative to being a buffoon in longer skis and really liked them. That’s really all there is to it. I was surprised to see how much distaste there is for them, just chatting with stores around here.

What did you have in mind?
I assume you’ve looked at SkiBoardsOnline; they have a huge selection, a ton of knowledge, and a very active forum, including a gear swap section.
I’m 99% sure I still have a pair of used RVL8’s; 2013 DLP’s (110cm) with Groove X1 non-release bindings collecting dust somewhere. I’m in Boston. I never rode them, but I did keep them in my trunk when at a mountain in case someone wanted to try them / as a backup option.
They are on the longer side for Skiboards; I started with a pair of 90cm Line Jedi’s, and then moved up to 105cm RVL8 Revolts; I don’t get out much now, but they are still my go-to.
Not sure your experience / reasoning for choosing Skiboards, but SBOL is your best bet.

My advice is to avoid Thundermist health center for your OBGYN needs. My wife revoked consent and they basically SA'd her.

Tollgate OBGYN for sure! In Warwick— I’d never go to anyone else. I’ve seen both doctors!

Everyone I was with enjoyed their food, I had a burger which was good but maybe a little plain. They didn’t have pickles of any sort which seemed odd to me when they have a burger and some sandwiches on the menu but I guess their focus is more on seafood. Overall I would recommend eating there.
