Don't know about RIH in particular, but since legalization happened last year there were new rules implemented about drug testing. For most jobs you are unable to drug test for cannabis unless working in a federal capacity, or certain other guidelines listed in the link below.

I do appreciate Vicente's and MB and consider them somewhat local. Vicente's is very inclusive and they opened in a neighborhood that needed grocery. Market Basket is brilliant in their strategy of maximizing purchasing power and focusing on volume vs margin.

Other RI options:

-Dave's -Brigidos -Confreda's (their sales are insane)

Plus all of the farm stands in RI. I know a great group of girls who have been working with local producers to try to get their retails down (recently got LOCAL certified organic potatoes delivered for $1.99/lb and they offered me an additional discount if I wanted to take more)

I think it depends on your job. My nephew works there and he smokes a lot of weed so he definitely would not have gotten a job if he had to take a drug test. He's in the kitchen though.

Hahaha I couldn’t care less!!!!

There’s a community fridge outside Project Weber/Renew (wonderful gold standard harm reduction agency on Broad Street) - see @pvdcommunityfridge on instagram

>And how is he if his hands are paralyzed? Y

hawkings could message ppl, as an able bodied person IK forms of communication for the impaired exist

What type of food do you like? What type of atmosphere? For a fun partyish vibe and good food troop is pretty cool but definitely not extra fancy, lots of music and it's a cool spot. Bayberry garden I haven't been to since the summer but when I went a couple times it was more about the ambiance just being nice rather than energetic. Maybe cav? Good food, wicked interesting place, great staff but again not super energetic, people won't be getting up out of their seats to dance or anything. Rogue island is more intimate not fancy but had awesome cocktails and beer list, plus a few cool bars for after dinner nearby. bayberry beer hall similar and you can pop over to moniker after.

Lots of covid deaths at this place in 2020-2021.

The USA needs more riots over housing and inequality.

It should be pointed out that if your child tests into Classical High School, (which is a Providence public school) it is considered the best High School in the state.

Elementary and Middle though are a crapshoot.

Having a child in the schools - who didn’t get into Classical - I can confirm that the academic standards aren’t as high as I’d like them - but the exposure he’s getting to people from very different backgrounds is richer than any other place here I can imagine.

The opportunity for random interaction is missing. Also I live on the west side and I don’t like walking around here.

Hello officer.

Lmao same

Sorry you don't have anyone to watch this weekend, but other people in this city do. Maybe next year you'll be able to find that Pat's bar.

No. Not at all.

Streisand effect is the more you tell everyone to ignore something the more they pay attention to it. Not sure what that has to do with this post.

Getting funding for an established business through crowdfunding is really sketchy. If a business with years of financial records can’t access a small amount of capital through traditional means, they’re clearly in a lot of trouble. It’s disingenuous to seek out investment from the community without a clear understanding of the financial position of the business.

Brown’s salary info is public so you can look it up pretty easily. Put it this way: I make a lot more in the private sector than I would if I had a position with more seniority at Brown. The non-profit world doesn’t pay that well.

For the price i cant complain.

I am so sorry you have to deal with that

Seriously, I bet he asked with a big kool aid smile too?

Just had the Valvoline guy ask me for a tip! Like sir all you did was take my credit card. You’re not even the one who did my oil

No I'll be in my extra warm pajamas waiting.
