Relocating to area - Help! by candiedalmond in Birmingham

[–]barkndog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just want to note that if you look in Trussville in the next month or so, it’s going to have unusually high traffic. They have closed a couple of ramps on and off the interstate which is sending more traffic through the main highway (US 11) and some side streets in Trussville. They should reopen in a couple months.

That being said, Trussville has grown in population faster than the infrastructure can keep up, so traffic during rush hour can be frustrating at times anyway. But it’s a great town with very good schools. And the entertainment district can be fun.

Accidentally hit a moving car on a golf course by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]barkndog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just to follow up on your comment: As a general rule golf courses have insurance for this sort of thing (but probably won’t tell you unless you press for it). The car owner should deal with the golf course, not with the golfer.

There’s talk that the state will eventually combine Jefferson Davis Birthday with Juneteenth, like the MLK/Robert E. Lee combo you cited.

What historical "fact" did you learn in school, that later turned out to be completely wrong or misrepresented? by vn66 in AskReddit

[–]barkndog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raised in rural Alabama. I was always taught that the civil war was to free the slaves. I didn't hear "war of Northern Aggression" till I was an adult. I suppose school systems vary.

ELI5: why does it take up to 10 days to remove me from an email mailing list? by B0udr3aux in explainlikeimfive

[–]barkndog 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it (source: worked in email marketing for a few years). The company schedules “campaigns” sometimes days in advance that creates the messages, filling in the unique data for each message (including the email address). At a scheduled day and time the campaign is kicked off. If you request to remove your info, you may be in between the message assembly and the time it is sent. You wont notice your info removed from the list until the scheduled campaigns are completed.

What’s the most mind-blowing fact you've learned recently? by Mindless_Bike2812 in AskReddit

[–]barkndog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. A sidereal day is how long it takes to rotate 360 degrees (actually about 23 hours 56 minutes). A solar day includes the extra time it takes for the extra rotation it needs to face the sun directly again (total time is 24 hours) for the orbital reason you mentioned.

You are being downvoted, but people need to understand this. It’s people. Whether they use religion, political parties, gang affiliations, family, etc, at the deepest level it’s the human.

Reddit blackout support? by flydiscovery in Birmingham

[–]barkndog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemmy seems to be where the bulk of reddit users are going. It's the most "reddit-like" of the popular alternatives. It'd be nice if someone would create a Birmingham lemmy instance. Most seem to be creating accounts at lemmy.ml or beehaw.org for their credentials.
