I wondered! I love them and hadn't seen any in the usual spots since fall. Thanks! 👍

there is a girl who does surprisingly good decorations for parties and weddings out of cheap materials like balloons - she is an engineer and has this eye for color an shape and how to construct - she is based in MA. i doubt she charges a lot. the results look great. you don't need to go all out and spend too much on a wedding. just rent a place, a caterer or restaurant (probably cheaper), a musician, photographer and decorator.

I recently joined Queer Providence Board Gamers hoping to meet friends in a chill environment (open to LGBTQ+ ppl and allies). Here's the FB group if u want to check it out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/384657613686544

“10 years ago I got a carton of eggs for $.99”

I’d love to know what venue, type of meals, and where you went on your honey moon that it cost $15k.

The problem I find with free play is that most of the people that go there aren’t going on their own and usually go with friends already and it’s hard to kinda break into that

what a beautiful picture of a gorgeous bird.

Battery is not for night usage, it’s for backup if the grid goes down. If you sign up for connected solutions they will pull from it at peak times. Everywhere I’ve seen says they give you 5000 for connected solutions but when the solar guy was here for the quote he said it doesn’t really work like that and it’s at the discretion of the power company.

You're allowed to overproduce to 125%, but that is the limit.

Which part sounds too good to be true?

They just did mine. Really easy to work with. The installation also looks 10x better than other installs I've seen.

I have no doubt solar works itself, but the vendors are questionable. I'm wondering if they have battery storage that is used at night, or do they revert right back to the grid. If battery are they using something like the tesla wall or similar new technology?

I also wonder about just doing a diy setup, but I'm sure there's steps you have to do to get connected to the grid.

Overall I think it's definitely worth it one way or another.

Living in Newport in the summer and trying to live an actual life (grocery shop, random errands, getting to appointments) is a FUCKING joke. Just the commute to and from work was draining. Seriously. I'm talking HOURS to do something that should take 30 minutes because you got stuck behind Chad and his lawyer dad in a rickshaw, tourists who don't know where they're going, bachelorette parties, etc. Do it in your early 20's for a couple of years and then never go further than Jamestown again.

Yeah the limitation on power is super annoying.

Also - pro tip - if you’re planning on getting an ev, buy the solar system a couple months after buying the ev

Providence is loaded with heroi-

oh u meant the bird.

That’s a down payment for a house 😳 people are crazy

Nice! I took one earlier also!

I’ve done it before for non-wedding things. I knew I wanted a different credit card once I learned about reward points and I was ready to buy a fence (and installation) which was $11k. Had the money saved already, found a card that would earn me the most rewards plus bonus cash back for spending a certain amount within the first 3 months, as well as have 0% interest for the first 18 months. Paid for the fence with the CC and saved the money in a high yield savings account. Wish I invested it instead for that 18 months but with the interest, CC rewards and bonus it came out to around several hundred dollars of savings. If I had invested it would have been closer to fifteen hundred (edited bc I definitely think the market did very well in that time) dollars a the time. It’s a fairly common approach if you’re comfortable holding debt.
