same with the bank next door that has an unnecessarily huge parking lot

False alarm - “prank” call. It is all good in Gansett now. (Source: email from superintend)

This happened maybe 5 years ago so I don’t remember exactly. I think it was 10% of the owed tax plus a few extra dollars.

I only paid $2k for the camper so for me it wasn’t to bad. Tax, registration, fees, penalties, everything it was a little over $200. I bought the camper in February and registered it in April.

FYI. The guy telling me people use fake bills of sales was at the Wakefield office.

There are comedy open mics all over the place. Rick's in Woonsocket on Wednesdays, Pub on Park in Cranston on Mondays, Brooklyn Pizza in Providence on Thursdays, and, of course Askew, which is a real nice place. Search for Rhode Island Comedy Open Mics in Facebook.

I've had better luck emailing the TDI offices than I ever have with trying to reach a human via the phones.

Like Texas?

As a person who worked in solar, this legislation is outright silly. I’m theory, sure it sounds nice. In practice, there will be loads of properties who are required to build solar, but due to their location, surrounding around their homes, putting solar on a home that is covered i shade from either trees or nearby buildings, is like trying to sail a boat with zero wind.

Means being able to curse and talk about crass stuff.

It's pretty clear you don't know what you're talking about. It's hard to get upset at the childish quips though when I just save so much goddamn money.

This is so broad to be an essentially useless answer, but...demand. Right on that stretch of Post Road, there are vacant storefronts for any smaller businesses (think accountant of insurance agent) to move into rather than buy and build on an empty lot, and it will be better for businesses to be clumped in a plaza like across the street with Kohls, Daves, Marshalls, and soon to be TJMaxx, Starbucks, and Chipotle where someone can park once and hit all of them rather than having to get back on the road to get to the next stop.

My current finance payment on my solar array is slightly less than my average NGrid bill was before the big rate hike. I have 6 years left to pay on that and another ~20 years after that of a functioning array.

​

So, getting the array alone and switching a high monthly electric bill to a slightly lower finance bill it's already providing savings.

I don't understand all of the negativity in these comments. I live in the village (you can actually see my house in this photo). It is a great place, just cause the old image has more houses in it's frame doesn't mean anything. People are so jaded.

I don't pay for electricity anymore because of my solar array. My current finance payment on the array is less than my average electric bill was before the rate hike last year. My financing will be paid off in 6 more years and I will have at least another 19-21 years of array output. If you can't see the savings here (and their inflationary resistance) then maybe you're not smart enough to buy a home.

Should have hopped the gate. Pretty cool inside

That garage is still in business and employs great people!

Yep, so 13+ years of free electricity.

You could check out some of the temp agencies, they might be able to find you something that could turn into a temp-to-hire position.

That’s great that the breakeven is less than the warranty

Wind might be great and highly effective in RI but solar is also effective. I got panels in 2019 and have not paid anything to the electric company since then.

For me, it's 6 1/2 years. Panels have a 20 year warranty.

Walk in to dmv wait on line appointments too long

And subtract the cost of a monthly payment to RI Energy.

Yup. He is as smart as it appears.

How much is the fine itself?

Haha yup
