I do, I also flash tf out of people in gray and black cars driving in the rain without headlights/taillights on. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AREN'T HEADLIGHTS.

No. Especially if the cop is near where I live.
If someone is driving way too fast I don’t want them warned I want them caught and given a ticket. That is how the system is supposed to work.
I’m tired of seeing people doing 50 in residential areas and getting away with it.

This!!! Most new cars have this setting (or the option to turn it on). So it’s becoming something that marks that you learned to drive say between 1970-99.

Not a thing anymore. And not worth bringing back (I mean how would you anyway?).

It’s really nice! The detail and the grays are done really well! The only thing I’d change is to make the gray face more consistent on the building you left simple. I like that there’s less detail there, but the fact that it goes from dark to light makes it pop out more, and I think if you made that gray wash more consistent it would help it sit more quietly behind that really nice building in front of it

Where is the apartment and is it part of a complex or just a stand alone unit or two?

Ahhhh yes I could see that. Warwick is like Thornton, lots of stores that will have everything you need. The airport is right in the city though, so it might be a bit closer than DIA planes on approach depending what part of Warwick you’re living.

But are people driving around looking at their phones to see the warnings? Jeez. I must be getting old. I think it’s courteous to give a little flicker of a warning.

Now people just mark it on Waze or Google maps.

Headlights are so bright these days, I can't tell if someone is flashing at me, or if they just went over a pothole.

But use of that particular FORM (the several pages of checklist) is not. Disclosures go in MLs like they go anywhere (not just RI). And saying “unknown” is an answer to a disclosure. A seller not having that form when it’s on market is not unusual. That’s my point. Only some sellers (or agents who require their sellers) both in RI and MA as well use that kind of form. Lots of times it’s just disclosed in the disclosure box on the mls listing or in the PS amendments once they agree. But if it’s a fsbo I’d be even more wary - or a flipper acting as the agent.

Not official, but I think it's mostly generally understood...?
I'd say like 4+ flashes for cop ahead.
Other codes:
-
Single flash of the hazards as a thank you from a semi truck
-
Double flash for "all clear" when someone wants to change into your lane in front of you
edit: here's a wikipedia article with a summary of meanings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlight_flashing

Disclosures from the seller are absolutely required by RI law (RIGL 5-20.8-2).

I would not risk floods for a great location. Unless you’re only staying a few years and even then. Water levels are only going up.

Yeah but if the inspection is info only then whatever you find you can’t back out of the deal. Make it contingent.

And also checking unknown is also v common everywhere in NE esp around lead. I mean if they do actually know something and don’t disclose it’s on you the buyer to do you own research but “unknown” is a legitimate answer. Folks don’t look on purpose for some stuff. And realtors are obligated to disclose if their seller does tell them something as well. Is this a FSBO?

Fancier cars. My high beams automatically turn off when there are lights around. I’m don’t know if I can flash my brights at another car.

Sounds like it might be a flipper, who never lived on the property. If it is, check that they got (and closed) any necessary permits. Call the town and request they email you any info they have on the property. (You may even be able to search the town website online yourself?)
It may also be worth asking your realtor to see if they can pull any old data on the MLS.
