High horse? Understanding that when you are required to show up in court, that it means that you are not special and are in fact required to show up in court, is elitist? The person who understands that they have to follow the rules is acting superior to the person who thinks the rules shouldn’t apply to them because they know better?

That’s a take.

>will i just get a fine billed to me as it should've been from the start?

Cool you do you. I’ll help you though - there’s only one educated decision when the question is “Should I show up for a mandatory court appearance?”

You’ll get a default judgment (you’re guilty), probably more fines, possibly your license or registration revoked. If showing up is a hardship be an adult and let them know. If you know better than them how it should have been handled, you’re gonna do you no matter what anyone says.

Everyone is for unions until it costs them a buck.

This puts breweries at parity with wineries and distilleries. They turned an advantage into a thriving industry, now they can play by the same rules.

Don’t like it, lift the rules and everyone can own their distribution.

We deserve this exception because… is not a compelling argument here, especially when OP is warning about how this could gasp lead to sales in gas stations and grocery stores!

More to do with RI laws that limit what breweries can sell to product produced on site. Even that is pretty recent - before 2016 only wineries could sell on site.

I mean there’s a reason you need to take a class to get a motorcycle license - it’s not the same as driving a car. Possible the front brake didn’t work, but also easily possible he grabbed a handful of clutch instead of brake in a panic, or that he was relying on back brake because front brake can be “scary” in an emergency stop if you don’t have practice with threshold braking.

Correlation isn’t causation. Skateboarding popularity has been on a downward trend since the early 2000s and is pretty much at an all time low. Skateboarding isn’t an issue anymore because almost no one skates anymore.

>The insurance state parks carry is for negligent upkeep - a bridge collapsing, a bear that was reported dangerous being allowed to continue hanging in campground ect

This isn’t a thing. General Liability coverage, which covers losses arising out of ordinary negligence, is. The state almost certainly self-insures a large amount of any GL claim.

>It is not because someone might try to sue for getting injured.

If someone is injured and alleges the state’s negligence contributed, GL is absolutely where coverage would like, but again, the state likely pays at least the first million of any claim.

Any municipality that opens a motor cross park will need to supervise it, or they will be sued the first time two kids who have no place on bikes wreck into each other for creating a place for an inherently risky activity where that injury could occur without providing supervision. The duty the owner owes varies based on the risk. It’s one thing to leave a skate park unsupervised, but you don’t see municipal pools unsupervised - this is why.

So now someone needs to buy and develop land, and pay to staff it. And the minute the staff doesn’t kick someone out for acting like a clown and that clown wrecks into someone, they’re going to get sued for negligent supervision.

Glad you literally have no idea how the stuff you’re talking about works.

>Real solutions aren't just bitching about how you don't like seeing bikes and trying to ban them.

Real solutions are when other people pay for my hobby so I don’t make their lives miserable.

~NinjaSant4, probably.

Legal riding spots exist. Why aren’t you making the trek to Richmond?

Alternately try nutting up and doing what people who like to play with guns do. Start a club, buy some land, and make and take ownership of a place where you can do your dangerous shit without hurting people just trying to get through the day. Imagine if gun owners were just setting up target practice in the streets because “there’s no place to go.”

Shit there’s a place open in Richmond now, but you gotta pay $40 and not be an asshole - probably too much to ask of these fine folks.

Missed the point completely + shit take, that’s bingo.

>Wonder why they haven't come up with a similar solution for ATVs and dirt bikes. Legal riding spaces aren't too crazy of a concept,

Cool, they should start a club, buy some land, and build one. Or are you saying that taxpayers should pay to fix the problems of morons who bought toys they have no place to legally use? And let’s not even pretend that if there was a free park these mofos wouldn’t still be tearing up the streets.

>don't know why everyone immediately jumps to banning the sale of them.

Probably because they’re tired of irresponsible morons who buy them without a place to ride them and then make that everyone else’s fucking problem.

Seriously, didn’t even show sympathy for the poor driver of the SUV who has to deal with this even though they were behaving like a responsible adult.

I’m just quoting from their website:

>How much will season tickets be? How many games are included?

We will have a variety of ticket packages and price points. We will also have various payment plans to accommodate different households and budgets. Ticket packages will include regular season matches, as well as select friendlies or U.S. Open Cup. We will know the exact number of games as we approach the 2024 season and have a better understanding of the league schedule.

Correct - no proven demand. They do not have record breaking “season ticket sales”. They have record breaking season ticket deposits - deposits are only $24 / seat, and there is no info provided about how much those tickets will actually cost or how many games will be scheduled, meaning you have folks who made deposits who are unlikely to actually buy tickets when they find out how much they cost.

People in this state losing their mind over a building with private funding and some tax abatement because (pick one):

• We need affordable housing not luxury apartments
• There isn’t a demand for more luxury apartments

Were meanwhile totally fine with the city borrowing money to build a stadium for a sport without any proven demand and without funding secured for a major part of the project (housing).

And people wonder why we can’t buy beer at a gas station 😂

Cost per BTU is significantly lower for natural gas than oil or propane. Even before adjusting for system sizing, efficiency, etc… you are paying about half as much per unit of energy. Anything that further improves efficiency in energy conversion to heat or distribution of that heat is just gravy.

>Ignoring the part where am inmate was taken to the hospital for hypothermia?

No, mostly because it’s not there.

Ferruccio said in addition to correctional officers complaining of the cold, an inmate housed in the ISC was taken to the hospital on March 13 because he was “possibly suffering from hypothermia and some other complications.”

J.R. Ventura, a spokesperson for RIDOC, told 12 News the department could not confirm if the events were related, and did not clarify what the inmate’s diagnosis was.

“Out of an abundance of caution, an inmate was taken to the hospital from the Intake Service Center to be examined after displaying unusual behavior,” Ventura said in a statement Friday.

Ventura said that, as of Tuesday, the inmate was in stable condition, and “due to several underlying conditions, he remains at Rhode Island Hospital.”

“Can we grieve this?”

😂

From the title I was 50/50 on it being the CO union bitching or someone wanting compassionate release, and 0% on it actually being dangerous.

Richard Ferruccio, president of the R.I. Brotherhood of Correctional Officers (RICBO), told 12 News “it is not uncommon” to see fluctuations of extreme hot or cold temperatures inside facilities.

Ok, that still sounds like it could be shitty working conditions. And if it was dropping to freezing or close for days at a time that could get dangerous.

“The temperature fluctuated from warm to cool while they adjusted and calibrated the control for the various housing modules; it did not fall outside the regulated safety levels,” Ventura explained.

Oh, that doesn’t sound that bad.

In this case, he said the South side cooled off quicker than the North side. During the week in question, Ventura noted that, “temperatures oscillated at times from mid 50s into the 80s, but did not stay at those levels.”

So with the large swings in temperature and old equipment, some days they overshot heating or cooling? Doesn’t seem too bad. Maybe management was just really callous.

“As a matter of protocol and as added measure of precaution, officers distributed extra blankets to inmates for comfort. The fluctuating temperature was resolved,” he added.

🙄.

Shit if I could get 20k in labor for a 2 week project I’d probably move into the biz.

Did this one with a buddy a few years back. Two cabinets and sink from ikea - $600 or so. Tub was maybe $600-$800. $150 toilet, $500 for tile and new vent fan. Closer to 40 sq feet, and probably a bit more expensive today, but nowhere close to some of the prices I’m seeing here.

HO insurance (and most insurance for that matter) pays for damage arising from a sudden and accidental loss - ie your pipes burst. It does not cover a slow leak that causes damage over a long period.
