Market Basket over BJs.

As for Market Basket’s, you need to look for the right one. If someone else in my family gets them they are usually dry, if I buy them they are juicy and flavorful. Sometimes the people making them have an off batch or an off day. It’s really hit or miss

Under the new ownership?

Grid stopped doing it years ago for one offs and the only time you can get it for free is if they are doing main/service replacement on the street.

If you are separated from the main, that’s even more money because they have to extend the main to in front of the house

>>RI Energy will install the line for free up to your house.

No they wont, it’s a few grand. They stopped the free service line for conversion a while ago.

EDIT: going by the replies, apparently RI Energy reinstated free services for customers converting from oil to gas. As I said in another reply National Grid stopped that practice many years ago.

Honestly, if it’s 1890-1918 cast iron (which it usually is) disturbing the pipe to make a repair on something that only has reads in the street will probably cause another leak. The state is already holding the utilities feet to the fire on replacing cast iron and even more so after the state got its pee pee slapped by the feds after Merrimack Valley.

Monitoring less hazardous leaks instead of putting on a bandaid and opening a can of worms seems to be the more prudent option.

You do realize it’s cheaper to triage and replace when scheduled than keep putting bandaids until then. Every time the street is opened up it costs money

No use opening up the street for a grade 3 when a Grade 2 or 2a takes precedent. Mose nuisance leaks are grade 3s anyway and are fixed according to migration area. Bigger migration area means it get priority over smaller migration area.

The leaks are getting fixed, but the higher priority ones are getting done first.

Seconded. And it’s cheaper than 2 tickets at Fenway

I’m serious. Had a math teacher who told us he would watch the Sox/Orioles at Camden because between the transportation/accommodations/great seats it was cheaper

Reply to Why 95 exit changes? by MadLove1348

Federal mandate. Easier to call in an exit number based on mile marker in an emergency

Also, if they were to add exits, they don’t need to fuck with the existing exit numbers

Example: Old exit 15 and 16 are miles apart, now they are exits 37 and 47. If they add an exit its based on miles so it could be exit 42 instead of fucking with the lower numbers

Reply to Rhode Island Comic Con 1st Timer by TheGambler930

I stopped going after year 3. This is the 10th anniversary and from what I’ve heard every year since is that nothing has changed. I know a few comic artists that refuse to go because of the way they were treated.

I have a bet going on how long it will take the fire marshal to shut it down this year

If you’re used to NYCC, you’ll be sorely disappointed
