Pretty sure both were: record low and record high, six days apart

Reply to comment by canibringmydog in Who is the new police chief? ‘The community is on his shoulders’: Providence’s new police chief is known for his compassion and discipline by rhodyjourno
Yeah it doesn’t really bother me either, it’s just kinda weird that it exists in the first place. But as a previous commenter said, there’s a ton of overlap on the front line between EMTs, police, and fire

I don’t mind firefighters with theirs as much. It still gives an ick but at least I know they’re not killing people because they got scared and then celebrating how now one can touch them with a flag lol

What’s the value of the claim?
If it’s less than $2,500 just small claims it.
If it’s less than than $50,000 your probably SOL unless you want to cough up $10-$20K paying hourly - no one will take a DV claim in that range on contingency because even if you win at best they break even, and unless you’ve recognized the loss by selling the car, you’re probably not going to “win”.
If it’s over $50K in DV or you want to pay out of pocket to make a point DM me and I’ll get you a name, but you’re probably still paying out of pocket unless the DV loss element alone is $100K+.

How about some affordable housing for the homeless or at risk of becoming homeless?

I mentioned this in another post, but this has got to be a local record of some kind. (With the exception of Mt. Washington, probably.)

Build mixed use on the land, like every freaking study they’ve paid for has recommended.
That said, they should keep the current height and zoning restrictions (also recommended by the studies they’ve paid for) unless there is a compelling reason for an exemption. And axe Fanes stupid tower, he doesn’t have the experience to execute a project of that scale. Give someone who knows what they are doing a shot at that parcel.

Reply to Looking for a legit cheesesteak by Common_Sir7138
Gansett Wraps in Narragansett. They have other locations in Westerly, Middletown and one in CT that I can't vouch for. They don't use Cheez Wiz, but the cheese is melted perfectly throughout the entire sandwich. 😋

ToadScoper OP t1_j80d7bf wrote
The 195 commission has got to be the most delusional entity in the entire state; the commission is absolutely clueless and does not understand the immediate needs or priorities for new Providence developments. Going purely "commercial" is exceedingly misguided and ignores the immediate need for more equitable housing and mixed-use developments that the parcels should have been designated for ten years ago. And yes, you CAN have service industries in mix-use neighborhoods... just look at Boston or any other city...

I think it's because they all work together so much so there's a sense of solidarity. Lots of paramedics are pretty on board with the thin blue line stuff too.

Don't forget nunchuks and other "kung-fu" weapons!
The laws are hilariously awfully written when you actually read through them.

It’s very weird to me fire departments started doing the same thing with a red line. Like, I don’t believe anyone was ever going after firefighters, because their entire job is to stop people from dying and they’re well respected overall.
