Reminder that TIPS classes are a scam that brainwashes people to believe that bartenders are at fault for drunk driving, rather than the drunk drivers.

I’ll definitely keep an eye out for them more now. They used to be perpendicular so they were easier to spot but now they’re getting slicker.

As a Long Islander who moved to Rhode Island, you’re not entirely off base.

They don't. But I want one and I can't get one. I just want one because I am a car guy and came up with a vanity plate that is fitting for my car. It doesn't contain any profanity.

No, no fun here. You have to go to massachusetts to have fun.

It’s safer for them to be parallel.
If a vehicle strikes them, they’ll strike the rear bumper of the cruiser instead of the side, greatly reducing the chances of there being injury to the Trooper.
They also have vehicle installed LiDAR and Doppler Radar which allows them to not have to aim directly at the vehicle they’re looking to measure.

Reply to comment by StrikingExamination6 in Do I need a license to be a bartender in RI? by Zealousideal-Draft63
All the people downvoting this comment have never had their shit kicked in working the service well and it shows.
Word of advice to the OP: if you are serious about bartending try to get a bar backing job and just learn like most bartenders do. Bartending is one of those jobs where more is caught and than taught. It’s not something that’s handed down to you because you took a 4 hour course. I think if you’re interested in doing some home bartending go ahead and take the class. You’ll definitely learn a few tricks and tips that spark your interest. But realistically? don’t expect to get a reputable bartending job with the certification. Regardless, Best of luck!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. 90% of bartending is time management and interpersonal skills IMO. Can’t be taught in a class, just through experience and through learning from mistakes

Long term carprofen use can affect their liver, so they probably want to run some blood work, especially if your dog is older.
I don't understand this sentiment of "I'm not going to my vet who knows my dogs because I don't want to pay for a wellness exam. Let me take my dog to a new vet so I can pay for a totally different examination and have them run the blood so I can get these meds."

Reply to comment by coolstoryglenn in Every new state union contract since 2021 has had a $3,000 bonus. How much has been spent? by cowperthwaite
Exactly. I’m a state employee and in my contract (which is the same or similar to other union contracts) calls for a 2.5% raise each year from 2020-2023, 10% total. Almost a pay decrease (if you consider inflation) if you’re at the top step of your job grade.

Ahh I completely spaced this out that this was happening over the last 2 years… I just submitted the paperwork to update my 5x SB pats plates for the newer 6x SB version (safe to say there won’t be any further updates required in the near future 🥴)

I see this as an absolute win. Rhode Island might be depicted as the tiny boner of the east coast, but at least we're on the map. MA, ME, CT, NH, VT, NJ, PA, KY, NC, DE, GA, TN, SC aren't, but we are.

Relatively common management strategy in labor negotiations is to use a signing bonus to get a lower % increase in salary.
Employees like it because it goes directly into their pocket. Management favors it because it does not compound over time in the way that a permanent bump in pay does.
What were the percentage increases in the new contracts relative to inflation?

The budget passed last year was $13.6b. We haven't see a budget as low as $4.1b in probably 20 years.
