Midtown Oyster Bar in Newport used to have excellent oysters and a good variety when I went there. Haven’t been in about a year so not sure if anything has changed.

Right, and you'll notice that I didn't include misinformation about shut offs like you did, and I gave my opinion from the factual starting point I laid out here a couple comments ago..."People could do what OP is suggesting and just not pay their bills until March 31 with zero repercussions. That would crush RIE's cashflow for the next two months, and get their attention. What would happen after that? Idk, that's where the discussion should happen."

It seems even more confusing that you'd spread anti-action misinformation if you so heartily support the action. Surely it would be in your interest to promote awareness of the limitations to RIE's power, to encourage more people to participate in some collective action rather than just reinforcing the reasons why everyone should be scared to.

Yes, stop bitching & suck it up or go do something to try and change it.

People already tried protesting the rise in energy prices, it did nothing, bitching about it does nothing, so now it’s time to stfu about it and deal with it.

This is literally the opposite of the argument I have made, not sure how you are so mixed up on this. Please try reading again without assuming I am speaking against collective action in any way (because holy shit am I not). As someone who donates an unhealthy amount of money to strike funds I am trying not to laugh ere.

I said people are poisoned against it because look at OP getting like -14 votes on just asking if collective action would be possible / a solution. As someone who has participated in strikes and protests numerous times the amount of vile rhetoric around them is eye opening, especially considering how often they are used elsewhere to good effect.

You yourself laid out your opinion of a realistic outcome which included "not many would participate" and "RIE would see non-debilitating loss of revenue".

I would love for it to happen, collective action is utilized far far too little in the USA because people are generally poisoned against it / too passive in regard to the status quo. I lay out that its not likely but just as you said for yourself, that does not mean either of us dont want it to occur.

It's a smaller spot and they only just started taking reservations for groups of 6 or more. I recommend going on off hours if it's the weekend, or you may be waiting for a while. Great spot though, the crab cakes are amongst my favorites, they have a nice variety of seafood options, a good spread of oysters and kind staff. It can be pricey, but seafood should be and I've never been disappointed by their food or staff.

Shouldn't complain about things like corporate profits and corruption too then? Clearly "bitching" isn't fixing it so let's just suck it up.

Hey police brutality too, just suck it up. Amiright.

lol yeah, after it wasn't under warranty, I never looked back to using their "service".

is that either greenwich bay oyster or providence oyster in east greenwich, or something different?

The one for RI is absolute trash. There's almost no competition.

3rd bullet is the link.

I don't disagree overall, but want to note that collective action is performed far far more often (for even lesser reasons) outside of the USA often to good result. I gave France as an example because they are particularly aggressive with it. It does absolutely get results but you need enough people to buy in. Americans by and large are too pacified (for lack of a better term).

Love the pun btw.

My oil change at tasca actually did take exactly three hours, I sat and waited. I feel your pain

Probably because it’s such an unpracticed but valuable skill. That being said, I didn’t have to do one for my test, just a 3pt turn

East Bay Oyster Bar

Bristol Oyster Bar

Any Newport Restaurant Group restaurant especially The Boathouse, Hemenways, 22 Bowens, or The Mooring.

DeWolfes Tavern

Pachaug allows any license plated bikes, but only on certain trails or dirt roads. I think its a big loop they have for bikes.

You are correct. The red building on Escoheag Hill Rd. That is for trials bikes only. I think but don't know if you have to be a member of the RI Trials Club. Now that location has hosted world championships for trials, and i think some national championships. Again its trials bikes only.

Coast Guard House but they are proud of their prices.

I am not aware of a single supplier that is less expensive that RI Energy. Anyone I have seen that offers a lower rate has it as an introductory rate.

agreed, Two Ten is very good.

No. It was a car that people often put aftermarket exhausts on and i didn’t question it

So how many posts with people bitching about it will it take for them to understand it then? It’s literally been talked about it here consistently since November, including on the news.

This is exactly it. It’s our burden to recycle. Not the conglomerates and corporations that waste insane amounts of non-renewable resources.

You didn’t check before you bought???????

Not everyone here has lived here for a long time, or has other people they know. If you want to suck it up, stop commenting and deal with it.

You're telling everyone to placate you, when you can placate yourself.

Why take a rational approach to this when I could just complain on the internet?
