What is “work blue?”

There’s a comedy open mic at Askew in Providence, I think it’s Tuesdays.

Thank you.

So he bought, and is now paying taxes on, a property solely for the purpose of putting up crappy signs that absolutely no one can read when you’re zooming by at 45-50MPH? OMG.

Guy had a problem with the town council not getting a permit or variance.. Something like that. So he put up a sign on his property (another one) basically telling the town council to fuck off. The town sued, and lost on free speech grounds. So he purchased the property on east main and took it to another level.

I liked Tarbox better before they moved.

Newport is a well known crime infested, poverty stricken war zone. It makes Beirut look like Disney Land.

Last I heard ISIS was in control down there.

What kind of work are you looking for some places are still hiring but the work might be less desirable

I couldn’t find a job in RI, but I was basically recruited by a Boston company. MA wages make RI livable.

What type of work were you doing before? What are your basic details and qualifications for work you are seeking?

There are plenty of remote work positions to seek out beyond RI borders, but you have to be bit more specific to cast your net.

Ikr? This one really stings: look at all that housing

And worse: public transport exchanged for environmentally-disastrous gas station and private cars 😣

A nice fixer upper

Comedy connection in East Providence? I’m sure they have some type of open-mic night or something.

Oooo nice one!

Also we make so Much extra by the summer we have $100-200 in credits to work off of even before it gets super sunny so the price increase doesn’t impact negatively- our net metering credits take care of that. As I said we don’t lease. A lease says company x puts your system in for free and you pay a lower fixed amount (ie we have friends in Wakefield who leased and pay 70 a month which is still lower and they didn’t have install costs).

We’re getting a battery this month and RIE then sends us 1400 a year to have us run on battery when there’s stress on the grid on hot days.

We’ve been paid off since 2019. Before tax credit and grants I think it was 12k? Break even point was 2020 (we paid it off early) but we were already paying less per month to pay it off then we had been paying on pre solar elec. so it wasn’t costing us “more” to finance it. The money was going out to NG anyway even if we hadn’t bought a system so it’s not like skipping it was going to “save” money. And tax credit is now even higher than it was. When we installed it was only 22% now it’s 30%.

We were already paying less than our Monthly bill has averaged out to since day 1 so were already saving money. Paid off in year 4. So yes we have free electricity. Not to mention the environmental impact. Healthy tax credits for installation and a state grant as well made paying it off even easier.

Depends on your field honestly.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen that map of world regions where solar really isn’t worthwhile when it comes to cost effectiveness vs other solutions.

I thought RI being in the northern hemisphere meant that other solutions should be taken before solar like Wind.

Amazing photo

Its not you OP. IMO, it's just unfortunately the nature of the current job market nationally. I had applied for jobs for a full year while burnt out at my full time job. Had only 1 interview and they never called back after that.

I finally quit my job a couple of months ago and moved out of state (also bc housing was too expensive in RI). Job market is still sluggish were i moved but I get more responses. So 🤞🏽

EDIT: Best of luck in your job search

If the yearly stickers still looked like this I could maybe see it, but this townie shit people do is dumb af

The Bells

Is that on Ocean Drive?

The price of electricity doesn’t go down. It goes up every month.

Let’s say the system cost 20,000 total. After government rebates . Let’s use say the Current electric bill is $200 a month. That’s 2,400 a year. Plus the electric company pays me monthly for the power I create about $100 a month. So 1200 per year.

So it would take you about 5/6 years to break even. At todays electricity prices

My husband swears he remembers seeing No Doubt there in the 90’s but I haven’t seen them mentioned on any lists- can anyone confirm?
