Some people really hate Pizza Strips and these people are wrong. Like I understand not liking something but some people get offended by them like you insulted their mother.

A lot of this hate I think come from what people expect from the word Pizza. All the haters say “it’s not pizza”. Now most of these people do like “normal” pizza. So at some level they like bread, and they like sauce, they just don’t like the combination of just the two. There are some who would think differently of pizza strips if they were called “sauced Foccacia” . Even more people would like the taste of the sauce and the crust separately but the combo does weird things to their brain . It’s especially strange considering that the sauce on a quality pizza strip is typically vastly more flavorful than that of a “Normal” pizza.

People say pizza strips aren’t pizza and I would say that this is both biased and historically inaccurate…Pizza strips have more pizza heritage than a lot of what we Americans pass off as Pizza. Pizza comes from the Naples region. Southern Italy is/was poor and does not have much of a dairy industry. Pizza strips are a practical implementation of pizza given available resources. Not having cheese is a feature (not a bug) so it has a better texture when cold and is significantly cheaper.

When was that? I know health insurance was commonly offered to full time students back when I was in school, but I haven’t been in school for a while/around when the ACA was implemented.

Depends on if you want an atmosphere full of raging sport fans or just good vibes. Vibe wise, Ogies Trailer Park is always a nice hang on Sunday nights anyway.

If you just wanna scream at the TV and maybe gamble on some part of the game, head up to Twin River and just chill at the main casino bar.

These are just personal knowledge suggestions, I'm sure others will have some good ones as well.

You can apply for health insurance through HealthSource RI. Even though open enrollment is closed, I'm guessing you qualify for a special enrollment period due to a life event if you're losing coverage you have.

Depending on your income you may be able to get subsidized coverage. The link above will walk you through this process.
