Reply to Adderall? by fourposterity
I'm acutely aware that different people respond differently to different drugs, and there's a comfort level in knowing how you will react, so if this comes across as disrespectful I apologize in advance BUT have you considered a different med? My family member has been on Focalin XR for years and the results have been great. Plus we haven't had any issues with supply.
I believe there is a generic available, although we use the name brand as it's very reasonable with our insurance and the manufacturer coupon.

Reply to Hasbro to cut 1,000 jobs this year by GhostOpera406
Really interesting to hear the feedback about working for Hasbro. From the outside looking in I had always had the impression that they were the best place to work of the major RI corporations (CVS, Citizens, Fidelity, IGT and Hasbro). Seems like I was mistaken.

Second this. Axe throwing may not sound like your thing, but we did it for a team holiday party and it was really fun and a great way to burn off some stress.

I think the majority of people in RI recognize that collective action won't bring new, cheaper generation on line.

It actually raises rates for everyone else (albeit by a tiny amount) because they "buy" at the retail rate which is more than the wholesale rate. They also have to manage irregular flows of power across the grid that they neither need nor want.

In New York City, maybe. I find it hard to believe that's a big poblem in Providence or Cranston.

When was the last time you parallel parked? I go into Providence fairly regularly and I don't think I have ever had to parallel park. Maybe on the East Sid on rare occasions, but not frequently.
At any rate, I'm not anti parallel parking, I just think it plays an outside role in getting your license when there are far more important skills.

I've heard that argument, although I haven't seen any empirical evidence. And that could cause distortions in the rental market if they control enough supply to distort pricing, but it doesn't explain housing. A corporation isn't going to buy a house and then let it sit for a few years in the hopes it appreciates, the carrying costs are too high. At most they might make some quick improvements and try to flip, but that's still dependent upon demand.

What I don't understand is that RIs population is basically unchanged from 2000, so where is the demand coming from? Now it's possible there has been a structural housing deficit all that time, but what is different about this moment in time that it is rising to the level of a "crisis"? Even if the demand is coming from outside the state (Boston commuters?) it's still being offset by people leaving the state, because, again, the population isn't changing. Unless the overall housing stock has eroded I don't understand how the state as a whole can be too expensive. Certain pockets, sure, we'd all love to live on Rumstick Point or Ocean Drive, but the whole state? I'm not saying it's not true, necessarily, but there's a piece of the puzzle I'm missing.

Interesting explanation. I didn't think of the spatial awareness implications as opposed to simple "parking".

"With interest rates where they are, the cost to buy has never been higher."
That's absolutely not true. Average mortgage rates were consistently above 6%, and usually above 7%, from the early 70s until the rate cuts stemming from the financial crisis in the late aughts.

Reply to The always perfect lawn in Bristol by SER1ALxK1LLA
There was an article about it in the Providence Journal years ago. Basically the son who inherited the house doesn't have the heart to sell it or live in it. It's basically a museum at this point, with his father's clothes still in the drawers, etc. Pristine but otherwise untouched. It's kind of sweet but also a little weird.
