Reply to Looking for fish husbandry shop recs in/around Cranston by jordy_pordy10

There are three in the region that I think are the best. (Two have been mentioned)

Aquastethics in Fall River.

Tropic aisle in Framingham.

Uncle Ned’s in Millis.

I generally go for plants on Aquastethics as well as all my scaping needs. tropic and Ned’s are where I generally go for fish.

I find everyone at Ned’s especially knowledgeable and helpful with any issues.

Reply to Hasbro to cut 1,000 jobs this year by GhostOpera406

Having worked for their subsidiary company Wizards of the Coast, I can tell you that the highest paid go first. I was one of such. This was back quite a few years ago now. But the let go was right after Christmas. Apparently my manager fought to keep me (and the others that were "laid off") until after the holidays. January 6th BAM! The second I signed off, my passwords were changed. There was no saving emails, screen shots, nothing. Done. All to save a few pennies on their bottom line so the CEO got his bonus.

Reply to $700 tax penalty for not having health insurance. What are my options? by Vantadvst

Maybe not the ethical answer, but Just click the radio button in turbo tax (or your choice of tax software). that says "yes, I have health insurance" They don't ask any follow up questions (does not ask what health insurance, IDs or anything like that, its literally just a yes or no question) and I'm pretty sure no one is checking or cares.

That really sucks. For what it’s worth, you can sign up for a plan for as low as 15 cents a month depending on your income. I feel like that price point is for people who can’t afford and don’t really need healthcare (like you don’t have chronic illlnessses or medications). Regardless, we’re forced to get health insurance.

All of those functions could be done far cheaper, and better in the private sector. Roads should be privatized paid for and maintained by advertising just like dominos was filling in potholes and putting their logo on it a couple years back.

Our roads are in horrible shape with so many potholes its like driving on the surface of the moon if you drive through a Walmart parking lot even one that takes multiple large truck deliveries a day its pristine. Plus if a road was privately owned people wouldn't put up with the conditions they put up with now with the government. Because you have no choice with the government you can't boycott a government without moving but you can boycott a business. Fire companies used to be private and even today often volunteer. They used to compete for who could get to a fire faster to put it out paid out by private insurance. Government took it over and they unionized and expenses ballooned. I would know my dad was a firefighter in Providence for 25 years.

You mean police who shoot teenagers in cars and have 0 accountability. I'd rather defund the police and have my own firearms to protect me and the ability to hire private security if I need to who I can fire if they do a bad job or bring disrepute. Where do you feel safer the dark alley in providence at 3am that's the purview of the government police, or the nightclub full of drunk people with the bouncer?

Public schools that indoctrinate and groom your kids rather than homeschooling that allows kids to learn at their own pace often graduating 1-2 years before other children. Or private schooling that everyone agrees is better quality. All of which would be cheaper Taxation is theft, the government creates a problem and then steals from you purporting to be the only solution to it.

running out of time to type this much will have to do.
