Reach out to a competitor? Why? This seems unhelpful.

Same in Pascoag.

god,not tha redisue

Reach out to the folks at “Skydog Farms” in N. Scituate. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. I believe they operate on only 2-ish acres and have experience w greenhouse & hydroponics, so they might have some good advice. They’re on IG, I’m sure FB as well. Good luck

Other than bills and responsibilities, the worst part of becoming an adult is realizing how many weird commercials are national ad campaigns that just get slightly tweaked for various local markets.

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for your reply!

Call the USDA office and learn about their loan programs. They'll loan up to $600K to a budding farmer and then a bank could cover the rest. I forget the interest rate but it was very reasonable and if you're socio-economically disadvantaged, there are programs available to help offset any losses in the first few years.

Brokers can help because a lot of good deals can be tricky to find online.

You need to be mindful of zoning. Scituate is a very lovely place but I've heard that trying to get building permits or get something zoned for agricultural use if it's not grandfathered in is much more painful than it should be. (This is just an example. Every town has pros and cons).

Same, also Northern RI.

I would start by researching zoning ordinances in towns you’re interested in. It’ll help you identify where that type of business is allowed, which will narrow down your search before speaking with a realtor.

DUDE I heard that ad on the radio a couple days ago. The city I moved from (Kansas City) has a Mitsubishi dealership with the same annoying fake NY lady and the same "its a crime to pay more than a dime" slogan! I thought I escaped it :/

Nothing to see here folks, well done! When will people finally open their eyes?

I would simply take that dime and use it to buy a new Kia, sir.

yeah, most likely the ash car thing was from something much closer (if it even was ash, i only saw the photo briefly before i had coffee and I don't care enough to look it up again). And weird smells can be all sorts of things. That can be filed under shit that happens from time to time in all sorts of random places for all sorts of reasons.

Our brains are wired to link things and create patterns and connections and the modern world of social media tends to feed into that wayyyyy too much.

I got into providence around 9:30 last night and immediately when I got off the train I said it smelt like the ocean, the air had a salty tangy smell. Now I’m worried lmao

Thundermist is awful. I booked an appointment for emergency dental work, went there and only got a 5-minute exam where they told me the obvious. Then they booked an appointment to do the work I went there to get six months out. They didn't even prescribe antibiotics so I had to get them from my PCP.

Three days before the appointment day I called because I never got a confirmation call, and they claimed the appointment was cancelled the day it was booked. AND THEN I got a text the scheduled day saying I was late for my appointment.

I farted, sorry

It doesn't hold up. Supposedly the plume is/was on target to hit Huntington WV at some point today. No way that it's here that fast.

Cornwall, NY is over the CT border and there's been numerous reports of foul smelling rain from there, too..

Don’t forget the factory fire just outside of Chicago, too. The smoke plume was enormous.

I get why people would want to link to the Ohio derailment but I'm not sure that holds up much. Even the controlled burns after the main explosions were done a week and a half ago.

The whole country is receiving fallout. Now it’s heading over the Atlantic and the Pacific.

We were incapable of everything until we did it. People couldn’t imagine an economy that didn’t involved Lords and Serfs yet here we are. Slavery was the only and natural way, until it wasn’t. We still need hierarchies and a system, just saying we can adjust this to create a more reasonable and socially beneficial situation.

Thought I was crazy. Just smelled it a few mins ago when I let the dogs out. I’m in Scituate. Very interesting.

Train derailment, large fire in Massachusetts could be any number of things. Definitely noticed some grey residue on my car this morning
