Right, neither of which have to do with registration or ownership.

Insurance companies don't care where it's registered.
Heck, they don't even care if you own it.
They just want the check to clear.

Reply to comment by Giuseppe_Lombardo007 in Newport Mansions other fun things?? by Giuseppe_Lombardo007
As for food, I am too jaded against Newport touristy food, and/or too inexperienced in it because of that jadedness. Basically any restaurant will be good, but I don't think the best restaurant in the state is in Newport. That said, my wife recommends The Mooring for something slightly upscale, or Brick Alley Pub for normal pub food.
For beer, Newport Craft Brewing is good but kind of unremarkable and maybe a little big for their britches now? They've definitely rounded the corner into being a regional distributing player. Good, well-made beer, but they've kind of lost that spark of a newer/smaller brewery if you know what I mean? Then in my experience, Rejects Beer Co beers are kind of hit or miss, but the setting is nice from the back balcony (as long as you don't look left to the gas station lol). If you want excellent beer, Tilted Barn back on the mainland is brewing the best beers in the state.

TBF, the mansions are all pretty similar and I get my fill of "expensive stuff someone wasted money on" after seeing like 2 or maybe 3 in a day. Your mileage may vary, of course. Fortunately/unfortunately, there are only two mansions open when you'll be here if I'm reading the site right. Only The Breakers, The Elms, and Marble House open this season, and Marble House will be closed Nov 8-18.
That said, there are a couple "special" tours that are cool: "Servant Life" at The Elms, and "Beneath the Breakers" at The Breakers. I'd say start with one of those, then do the full self-guided audio tour of that house afterwards, then see if you feel up for another one. The in-person ticket people can upgrade your single pass to a discounted multi-house ticket (although now that I consider it, my info is like 4 years old now, hopefully it hasn't changed).
On your way from NYC after the first bridge from the mainland, swing down to the southeast corner of Jamestown to Fort Wetherill to walk around a bit along the abandoned fort structures (bright a flashlight if you're bold), and the craggy shoreline with views of Newport.

This is neither here nor there, but it's "milquetoast".
But milk-toast is a fairly apt mental image for someone who is milquetoast.

In my singular experience several years ago, the traffic court judge was very lenient.
I qualified for the good driving waiver, but he was waiving other people's tickets who didn't qualify either...including one woman who had gotten another ticket within the year and was clocked doing something like 95 in a 65.
So I think it's worth a shot for OP. Be repentant and ask for the waiver in traffic court despite the lack of full history. I bet they'll be fine.

Maybe I am not a real Rhode Islander, but to me:
Water bubbler = the water dispenser with the 5 gallon jugs you invert on top then dispense into a cup from the spout below, which bubbles as you remove water from the tank and it gets replaced with air.
Water fountain = the device you drink straight out of, which is connected to the water main and shoots the water up in an arc, like a fountain.

Statistics for sure! Not even in pursuit of academic excellence or whatever, it's just such useful, relevant, math.

Holy shit, I didn't realize that until you said something. My family has a condo in NMB right by one of his plazas and I never connected the dots.
I have definitely specifically noticed the logo in both places but never made the connection.

Further, it's generally regarded as a good thing when the basketball goes through the hoop, because that's the most common way points are scored in the game of basketball. However, it's only a good thing if you are on the scoring team.
It takes a precise throw to get the ball through the hoop, especially one so accurate that it never even touches the metal rim and only makes contact with the net the way it's depicted on the building. This is commonly referred to as a "swish" or "nothin but net".

Reply to comment by ToadScoper in Hundreds of housing units coming to East Providence, officials say by GhostOpera406
I'm pretty sure I understand the idea, I'm just not following how it's not a zero-sum game, nor how it makes sense in this little plot in question.
Here, there's nowhere close to enough space to make anything remotely self-sustaining, and there are tons of businesses nearby already. Like, I'm pretty sure Aldi corporate isn't going to go for building another Aldi 1 mile away from an existing one, on an out-of-the-way peninsula behind a neighborhood. So what's it going to be, like a food desert style convenience store? Overpriced fancy market?
Or can we maybe just let it be residential so more people can have more affordable housing?

>This is not fewer homes, it’s mixing homes and commercial
How is that not reducing the number of housing units? Whatever space is commercial could be residential instead.
> I’m also referring to a maximized return in terms of land used, not investor returns
Okay then swap in "promoting commercial business" to my previous comment and the point remains.

Are investor returns really our top priority though? I just kinda want people to be able to find a place to live. I'm having a hard time seeing fewer homes as a win-win.

How does that square with our current inflation and housing crisis though? Simulating the economy and reducing housing is kinda the opposite of what we need right now, isn't it?
