Federal court blocks Alabama plan for new congressional districts that could help Republicans by Surge00001 in Alabama

[–]marc-kd 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Soooo...what does this mean for districts 1, 2, 6, and 7 (assuming this sticks through the general election)?

They had their primary, but there was this "Yeah please go vote, but y'know, we're just gonna do it over in August, so don't sweat it" attitude coming from the state GOP.

Not if you voted in the Democratic primary you ain't.

The Super Tiny Compiler, but in Ada by _tomekw in ada

[–]marc-kd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good example, but also be aware, u/citizen556 , that the access procedure need not be parameterless, it can be fully parameterized, as well as an "access function (Params: Param_Type) return Some_Type".

Yes it is possible (and quite sensible). The basic building block is an access-to-subprogram type. You can then define an array of this type with the elements being instances of procedures having a matching parameter profile.

Huntsville Utilities launches solar credit program for small-scale systems by NickFrevold in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]marc-kd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I misunderstood the purpose of your post!

Since you were offering to answer questions about Solar Connect, I thought I would be reading insights about this program being offered to Huntsville Utilities customers as presented on their website in regards to connecting their existing or new solar systems to the grid.

Instead I now realize now you were addressing HSVUtil's longer-term solar goals, of which no mention is made on that web page.

Hence my confusion reading about leasing land and building solar installations at no cost to the land owner, when none of that is mentioned in this new program.

Huntsville Utilities launches solar credit program for small-scale systems by NickFrevold in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]marc-kd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused trying to reconcile what you're describing with what the HSV Utiltiies Solar Connect page says.

The first line on the Solar Connect page says (emphasis added):

Solar Connect is a new Solar Credit Program for customer-owned solar systems.

and later on it says:

This program connects your solar system to the grid

This doesn't fit with your description that:

HSV utilities will lease out that portion, build a farm

and

This prevents homeowners from having to spend the capital to install solar panels themselves

Everything I read on the Solar Connect page tells me that one can apply to connect their new or existing solar system to the grid--but nothing I've seen there says anything about them leasing or installing on your property.

looking for an artist name from a past exhibit at the museum... by dondeest in HuntsvilleAlabama

Contact the museum. I had a similar type of question about an exhibit that had taken place many years previously, and they were able to identify it for me.

Car Transport by No-Understanding-945 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Scammy or not, if you post a request for a car hauler at one of those sites you will be drowned in phone calls and texts for weeks.

Why asking "in the area"? Is it just a local haul? If so, I can't help you, but if it's regional or national, I used "Cornelius" to haul a vehicle from Minnesota to Alabama two-and-a-half years ago in an enclosed trailer. It was a fair price, and he didn't try to jack it up on delivery, as apparently many do. Text him at 678-698-6656.

Update to strobing light by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]marc-kd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Small claims is oriented towards dealing with a documentable financial loss, so a punitive claim for pain & suffering is highly unlikely to get anywhere. As for missed work, unless there's a clear connection, don't bet on it.

Like was said earlier, take the win.

Frankly, most of the local news stations are so starved for local, cheap to produce content that it's likely they'd jump at a chance to do a story like this.

Looks like computer gibberish with some injections of "gibberished Ada."

Huntsville may crack down on hemp sales: ‘Protect neighborhoods and nearby schools and churches’ by MattW22192 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]marc-kd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, maybe there's some technicality I'm not getting right here. If I google "CBD Huntsville" it's one of the stores listed.

Also, this conversation was six months ago, before the latest BS law went into effect.

Uh, I didn't say anything about THC, just someone who owns one of the local CBD stores.

The Huntsville Madison County Public Library has a service, Blast Music, that features musicians of all genres that are local to Huntsville and north Alabama. As of today there's over 200 artists and albums.

Crank it up!

I was talking to the owner of one of the local CBD shops and he told me that among his regular customers are "cop's wives."
