I didn’t claim it was RI’s. I don’t see that in my copy. I mean maybe you can see invisible words?
I just am pointing out what more does anyone need because everyone in this area seems to think it’s the bees knees.
But ya know. You go on with assumptions. That works I suppose.

Yes. It’s a light display thing they do and everyone far and wide goes to it. Crazy Catholics.

Reply to comment by Holofro in Restaurants with limited seafood by Holofro
Ok. I am going to be very frank here.
If your allergy is truly that severe and you are that nervous. Don’t go out to eat. Anywhere. Especially in an area like RI where seafood is a staple in all cuisines and cooking here.
I feel for you and understand how much it can restrict you and all. But if it’s that bad then why take the risk. Otherwise. Trust the people to be professionals and do their job. No restaurant wants an ambulance showing up because they almost killed a customer. If you trust the pilot to fly the plane or doctor to do the surgery. Trust the kitchen staff to not cross contaminate.
If you don’t trust them…Stay home.
It’s really that simple.

Reply to Restaurants with limited seafood by Holofro
Why do you need a place without seafood? Just tell them you have a shellfish allergy. In fact here they all do a super job of limiting issues when a known allergy is present.
I am not sure why anyone here is saying “Italian places won’t have seafood”. Uh. Yeah that’s dead wrong. Every Italian place here in RI has fra diablo (spicy seafood pasta) or lobster ravioli or some other seafood based pasta dish.
Again. You should go to a higher end place and tell them of your specific allergy and stress it is severe. They will take care of you.

Reply to Looking for takeout thanksgiving dinner options for 2 people, enough for leftovers by [deleted]
Dave’s and stop and shop both have started thanksgiving full meal kits. All cooked and ready to serve. I believe they are for like 4+ people. But there would be plenty of leftovers. I think they were $125 or so for the smallest packages. No idea what they include. Check their online flyers. That’s where I saw them advertised. I’d hurry up and check. Sometimes those things are limited.

Fine. But no one is going to travel 3.5 hours to NYC or further just for kbbq. Boston has some better spots than RI and it’s easy enough to get there. Not really hard to understand there.

It was $30 or $35.
I think you need to look up what the definition of “scam” is. If you check the RI site for tolls. They tell you up front the late fee schedule.
It’s not a scam. The amount is irrelevant.
You are spending more time arguing on Reddit about it being a scam as opposed to just. I dunno. Get an EZ pass and connect it to a credit card. The toll will be paid every time right then and there.

I don’t care what another state does or doesn’t charge. This state charges that. I had a toll charge from Texas get sent to me with a late fee applied that was from before the notice even got to me.
So. Mildly infuriating or annoying. Sure.
A scam. No.
Point blank. They didn’t mail it to god knows where because they made up the address. That was your address in the system they were given. Either by you when you signed up for ez pass. Or perhaps via your registration or the dmv. Whatever. It’s on you to be responsible and stay on top of it and keep those things up to date.
It sucks. I don’t disagree. But it’s not a scam. If it was then everything and anything any town state or federal charge is would be a scam too.
Life lesson kid. Learn from it.

It’s not a scam. It shipped to an address that was on file. You didn’t do what it takes to get that updated.
Scam? No. Your negligence? Yes.

Question. Have you had Korean BBQ elsewhere before? The point here is this. The locally available places are perfectly fine. But if you’ve had Korean bbq in Los Angeles for example? Yeah it’s not even remotely comparable.
So if you have a baselines of really top end k-bbq prepare to be disappointed. Sura is the one I’ve gone to a few times and I think it’s perfectly respectable locally.
You’d be better off heading up to Boston tbh.

That’s how the house works. It’s regional. Which is why gerrymandering is an issue.

That’s a house vote. So it would need to be in your district. You likely had the Cicilline ticket for your region.

If you can manage working full time and going to school full time. Yes. URI is very affordable for in state tuition alone (don’t live on campus)

Yeah. My youngest has bad allergies. And everyone thinks they are spring time only. Not the case. Fall brings a bad case for him too.

I don’t understand this behavior. When I’m sick all I want to do is stay home and do nothing.
I just wonder OP if perhaps some of these folks aren’t sick and have allergies? I mean it can appear to be they are sick but aren’t and aren’t contagious.

Yeah. I’ve pointed this out to family and friends who like trump (mostly because they by default hate all Dems). But I say “so we can agree you aren’t racist or a white supremacist or want to have billionaires paying zero taxes, right?” They say “yes correct”. I then add, “so we also can agree that you want good infrastructure, roads and bridges that aren’t crap to drive on, good education for our kids, you like social security and would love for healthcare costs to be low…right?” Again they reply “yes correct”.
Ok I then say “so why are you voting for the same candidates that the nazis and white supremecists vote for that are the ones who push tax breaks for the ultra rich, deny veterans (like me) aid, deny funding for education and infrastructure, and then refuse to vote for the candidates who push affordable healthcare, funded education, and taxing the rich?”
Their reply: “their voters use weird pronouns”.
Ok then. You’re a fucking nazi then. Because when you sit at the same table and hold your nose while supporting the same people. Yeah. You’re really no different.

Reply to My favorite wings spot (Boneheads) permanently closed and I need a replacement! What's your favorite fried chicken/ wings place in Rhode Island? by Michelin_Man
Cook & Dagger are my favorite wings on state. Though it’s not a variety throng. It’s always plain or buffalo and flavor of the week.
Wings at Lost valley Pizza (revival brewing) are pretty good too.
The District has great wings also not a huge variety in flavors but really good wings.
Rocco’s pub and grub always had decent wings too. With a huge flavor choice. They also had a 50 cent wing night previously. Not sure it’s still going.
