Paid $11 and some change for a small latte with skim milk. The cherry on top is they charged me a dollar for the skim milk. I’ve never paid extra for skim, anywhere. I haven’t even paid that much for a Nitro Bar drink, and they’re arguably a more popular spot. Still good croissant tho.

Also, unrelated, but a spot around there: 2 tacos for $13 is bonkers. Where are we heading with these prices?

My fellow redditors please take heed:

I have made an app https://fixmypvd.org for submitting reports to the cities 311 system. The main advantage over the official app is that it's easier to use on your phone.

Basically it works like a middleman between you and the official app. It sends your reports to the city app, then it sends the cities (admittedly infrequent) updates back to you.

I was motivated to make this by seeing posts on this subreddit complaining about the city app and a desire to possibly appear on the local news.

WARNING This is not an official city project I am just a guy

WARNING I did my best but this is kind of a hard thing to test without being a jerk and spamming the city with false reports. If it bugs out I'll submit the reports by hand and shut it down.

Remember while it's important this app becomes popular so that I can appear on the local news the most important thing is that we help the city become aware of issues so please don't file fake reports or anything like that. Instead why not try texting 5-10 of your friends that there is an emergency and when they call to check on you telling them about this app.

Thank you for the updoots in advance.

Listen, I'm not a positive person generally but I'm feeling it this morning. Maybe it's the caffeine.

Whoever you are - I’m behind you in traffic sometimes and this always makes me laugh.

Please help this guy out if you can.

Hi, I’m justing getting back into magic after only playing arena for like a decade. I’m out of practice and want to learn with some people who are patient enough to play with someone learning tabletop mechanics and etiquette.

I’d like to find somewhere that people play during the day, not just 5pm-7pm. I work remote most days, so I’d like to find a place i can drop by to play some games in the afternoon. Times have changed so that might be hard to find now

Sweet kitty with an air tag approached me and my gf near swan point, covered in wounds around her chin/head and smells kinda funky. Going back with a crate/food rn to see if we can get her!

My mom is coming to visit in early November and has wanted to go to Al Forno for awhile. I know some folks feel like it’s overrated but she wants to go so…

I just went to make a reservation for a Tuesday evening but the only slots are 9:00pm! Had no idea it would fill up that quickly.

If we went at like 5:30 on a Tuesday would we get seated?

Edited to say: thanks all! Sounds like getting there at 5 is the way to go. I think we’d be happy to sit at the bar but would also be happy to wait a bit for a table. And I will try calling same day. All the advice is much appreciated!

Hi friends - The 3rd Annual Providence Photobook Fair is this Sat-Sun 12-5, at the cool historical building 159 Sutton Street in Federal Hill. I'll be there with my debut photobook, among an assemblage of quality photo publishers, groups & people. Come by and support local / indie artists, get a book or print, or just say 'hi.' Cheers

Trying to find someone who can do some minor renovation work (mostly fixing the problems that another contractor left us with) - tub refinishing, drywall work, minor plumbing, etc. We’ve been screwed a few times so would love someone that folks have had positive experiences with.

Get cozy this fall with Skip the Small Talk - it’s a chill, sincere event focused on connection! We will be at Long Live Beerworks!

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional. 

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Here’s the link if you’re curious:

The shows theme is “BLUE” and the opening is tonight (OCT 15th) from 5-8pm. Snapped this pic after installing my work.

Hi, I just moved here for college this year and have some family visiting. We love korean barbecue but with me being new here and all, I don't know which places have the best korean barbecue. They're coming this weekend so if any of you have recommendations for some good korean barbecue, it would be much appreciated.

Stop taking your flipping pets out to public places like breweries if you know your pet isn’t friendly in public to people or other animals.

As an owner you know within the first year of ownership if your pet meets this criteria or not. If you’re too dense to figure it out ask a friend, a family member. If you’re still not able to figure it out, you shouldn’t own an animal.

As a dog owner, i am always very conscious of the setting, where I sit, what is around, and if it doesn’t work — we don’t stay. If another dog wants to come by, i ask if they’re friendly (and expect a honest answer back).

If the Women who went to longlive on the evening of October 14th reads this. Your dog shouldn’t be in public settings. I asked if it’s friendly, your response was yes. Yet lunged/bit at my dog and another dog on two different occasions. Wake the flip up you irresponsible human.

Honestly, now I understand why so many people can be rude. It’s easier to be rude when you deal with blistering idiots who dont comprehend common sense.

Glad this made the ballot.

Also early voting is ongoing at City Hall, 8:30am - 4:30pm, every weekday through Monday, 11/2.

Looking to put down clay brick patio in our backyard in the springtime and hoping to get on to someone’s schedule so we’re seeking out quotes! Would love to know if anyone’s had positive experiences with anyone local

Hello everyone, M 29 (tomorrow) looking to meet new friends and or that someone. Any recommendations on where to go? I don’t really like bars and don’t drink much honestly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Into more outdoors things like fishing, hiking, exploring, going to the range and open minded for new interests and hobbies. Vibe is more chill and laid back. Music taste is all over the place and not just one genre.

The governor is the one who runs the DOT, so I thought this civil engineer's perspective on the RI DOT would maybe help people decide who to vote for for governor.

Just having this suspension job coming up with my 1st gen. Got neither time nor budget for set of new tools so just wishing to get it done at a local shop. Relatively simple Bilstein upgrades both front and back, assembled coils. I have parts in hand already, therefore looking for a shop that takes customers part and is willing to work on it( usually they don’t due to some warranty issue)

Any recs? Thought about some maker spaces but time is just against me before winter hits…
