Reply to why is RI/providence sub reddit become so hostile to opposing views. by Indy_420

That seems like a question for the moderators or admins, not the users. All we can do is downvote, not delete or ban.

That said, I find that often times people on the internet seem to want to inject their "anti" ideology into every conversation. If the thread is actually about a topic pertaining to "woke" topics or politics, I think you should express yourself, but don't expect people to agree with you. But if it's a thread that is unrelated to those topics and you bring them up every time, in every conversation, I wouldn't be surprised if the moderators ban you as someone who just injects ideological spam into every thread.

Reply to Visiting in March/Looking for things to do by Glass-Charge-2455

My usual suggestions:

Providence:

  1. A photo at the Brown University gates (College/Prospect) and another at the state capitol

  2. Seven Stars Bakery for coffee

  3. Al Forno’s (best pizza honors and award from the Italian government)

  4. Greg’s Chocolate cake, yes, get a whole cake

  5. PV Donuts (1 each Masala, Passion Fruit, and Boston Cream)

  6. Walk down Benefit Street

  7. Check out the mural on Friendship Street

  8. Theater at Trinity

  9. Take out from Pastiche

  10. Ice skating down town open air rink

  11. Pizza on Federal Hill, deep dish Sicilia’s

Day trip loop to DeWolfe Tavern in Bristol, Ocean Ave scenic drive in Newport (you can park at LaSalle to walk the cliff walk if weather permits), Thames Street cobblestones in Newport, Beavertail in Jamestown, Have drinks/apps at the Shelter Harbor Inn, go to the Umbrella Factory, a stop in Wickford, Take a photo of yourselves at the Temple of Music, Visit the flamingos at the zoo, Visit Chepachet, and/or Coffee Depot in Warren.

Add pizza strips, coffee syrup, Del’s, chowdah, and New York System for the win.

Reply to Legal help for tenants? by throwawayRI3742

If y’all need someone to legally disconnect and reconnect the gas, you can shoot me a direct message. I recently started my own HVAC business and have much better availability than the competition. I know this doesn’t help you right this minute but at least you’ll have someone you can refer to your land lord if they give you the ol’ “I couldn’t find someone”.

Good luck!

Go for a photoshoot near sunset at the pedestrian bridge. Quite scenic. Hit up Junior’s if you want a late night snack (better than Harry’s IMO). Explore Thayer. Mingle with Brown and RISD students.

Reply to Pellet Stoves by dantronZ

The only thing I will say is watching g both my uncles who had pellet stoves who are in their 60’s and 70’s. It is a young man’s game.

Reply to Thoughts on the viability of zero-fare transit in RI? by SillySycamore

I don’t think price is RIPTA’s limiting factor. scheduling, availability, routes, timeliness, park and ride accessibility are more like it.

i rode the bus for years as a commuting URI student from the providence area. i lived on well established and well used routes and i still ran into a litany of problems weekly. it was and is an unreliable form of transportation. which sucks.

$500 a ton for good pellets is not feasible, they should/will be less "if" you can find them right now. The issue at this point of the season is your cost to buy, install and fuel isn't worth the cost. Suck it up for a 2 more months, revisit this then.

I do not use any other form of heat. We have our heating system set as a back up in the event the stove runs out of pellets or stops for any reason. A little under 2400 sqft, 1200 per floor.
