I cant do XR, the extended release stays in my system too long and keeps me from sleeping. So I take 5mg in AM and Afternoon during the week. Dexmethylphenidate (focalin) is closer to Ritalin then Adderall (chemical structure).

Wouldn’t a surgeon need to be associated with a hospital to do surgery? If they’re doing minor procedures in office, they’re probably still affiliated with a hospital for the purpose of other procedures. I’d highly recommend Dr. Got at University Ortho if you can’t find someone fitting all of your requirements.

That’s surprising, does it last as long too?

I have not been on focalin in too long to remember much about it but it seemed about as strong as adderall (roughly speaking)

IMO, it was a combination of the following:

  1. Inherent bias towards authority figures (i.e. cops)
  2. Inherent bias against the victim (i.e. "he shouldn't have been speeding," "he's a punk kid," etc.)
  3. As someone else stated, while the whole video paints a general picture of Dolan being in the wrong (which should've swayed the jury), the actual moment of the shooting is a bit obscured, meaning that we cannot see for sure whether Dolan was in the path of the fleeing car, as he claimed he was, when he fired. This shouldn't really have been enough to create reasonable doubt, but if you willingly ignore the context of him chasing the kids down and choosing to exit his vehicle (which you would be more willing to do if you fit Numbers 1 and 2), it might clear your personal bar for "reasonable doubt."

I think the biggest problem is that the moment where the shooting occurs isn't on video, there was one witness who's initial statement sort of corroborated what he said and that's "reasonable doubt" for a jury when the defendant is a cop.

Providence definitely isn't as strong a market. Boston and the towns immediately bordering it have more people than the entire of Rhode Island and most of that is accessible via public transportation or a fairly cheap taxi/uber ride.

There's also like 30 colleges and universities in the immediate area too.

Alice In Chains sold out a 20,000 capacity amphitheater like 4 months ago as a headliner and still pull 7 million listeners on Spotify. Radio stations are still going to play those songs a couple times a day, people still want to go see them.

They might be 25 years removed from a hit but they’re still a pretty big name on the strength of the hits in that 5-6 year run.

That being said, Cantrell isn't really a huge get. It's a nice show for a certain demographic that still will go out to see him. I don't know if he's going to sell out a midweek show here but the show probably sells 75% or more. Then he'll go sell out the place half that size north of Boston later in the week.

I can tell you they've been in Newport for a long time. You see them diving boats for service, cleaning, etc.. all the time in the summer. Can't vouch for them personally but they've been around.

Just did a bit of sleuthing, and it seems totally legit on a local level (I'm in Newport). The first thing is, when I googled Elite Divers, llc, Google filled in "Newport, RI." So, it has search traffic. Second thing: the phone # exchange is 848. This is old school Newport. 846, 847, and 848 used to be the landline numbers for Newport, and people could tell where you lived by your phone number. They've had that number a long time. I have an 847 landline # I got when I moved here in the 90s, and I won't give it up 😂 Finally, I texted a friend on the State Police dive team and he knows the owner. I hope the job works out for you and you have a great time in Newport!
