Yes, a no contact order is a condition of the bail in these types of cases.

I’ve seen a guy who rides with two (boxers I think?). The dogs run well but I too always feel like I’m about to see a horrible accident with the way people drive on Hope. Maybe he’s gotten a third dog since the summer?

Why did they allow the sale in the first place?

Doxing isn't cool. Hopefully, no one provides that information.

Past 2 nights it's been a pretty blue. In 6 months I have not met a single RIslander who knows meaning of the color scheme in general. I find it humorous but the capitol is pretty

What color was it? It’s national eating disorder awareness week this week and I know they lit it up last year for that

I too throw my support to Bad Fit. Great, funky space in a great location run by artists and great people who give a damn.

Each color configuration is code for emergency instructions for how to avoid the tasteless, odorless, colorless poison gas that has penetrated our atmosphere.
So you just have to follow the instructions or else you might die.

It's such a bummer that this doesn't get updated properly. The whole point is to show support or celebrate something but then most people have no idea what that thing is.

In theory, the RI State House lightings should be available on their website. In practice, not so much.

It's often lit with different colors to celebrate or acknowledge something.

Reply to comment by Frosty-Vegetable-385 in East Prov - Traffic Cams… watch out! by [deleted]
Yeah, "only in school zones" and "during school hours" makes it all seem sooo rational. The reality is try driving 20mph. It is incredibly, unnaturally slow and 15mph below the normal posted limit of 35mph. Second, it's not just during opening and dismissal, it's all day long, even when no children are anywhere around. And finally, the whole program is administered by a private company who installed the equipment. You send your "fine" to them and they pocket the majority of the revenue as profit and only pass on a small fraction to the city. This is obscene public policy in the guise of children's safety.

Advocating without advocating… nice.

He was arraigned and then released on his own recognizance. Did they also pat him on the head and tell him to have a nice day? Did they at least slap a restraining order and an ankle bracelet on him?

Back around 2013/2014 I had a graphic artist friend who lived in one of the micro lofts in the Arcade. She absolutely loved living downcity-- but she didn't have a car.

This is another reason why teachers who are not properly vetted and fully certified should NOT be hired!! The amount of “teachers” who are not actual teachers is insane. Yes, it makes a huge difference. By the time I was alone in a classroom with children, I had been under intense observation and scrutiny for 5 years. These types of people usually (but not always) get weeded out well before they are left alone with children. This makes me sick. I hope the students are alright and they get any help they need.

The way I see it, as is it is destined to fail. I imagine National Grid/RI Energy will attempt to undercut to kill the program if it's going to damage the bottom line.
Looking at my current bill I'm seeing a 0.17785 charge so even paying the highest rate on the current notification will bring down 0.12321 I'll still be saving money as well as contributing as long as I can afford it.
Only been in RI for 7 billing cycles worth, however so I don't got personal historical data for it.
0.0781 x 2
0.14127498 x 1
0.17785 x 4
