It's not that people are afraid of any content and so they want 9 mods to regulate what's being posted, it's that many here consider the recent actions of a single mod to be overbearing and unnecessary, and so wanted more mods to be able to rein the one mod in.

Many of the mods on this sub are inactive.

Are they going to unban all the people that one dude banned? Guessing no since he added his friends as mods

Aren't most of those bots? I think we have more now but it's not like 8 more.

Then they are false advertising that. Right from the website it says our dough is made fresh daily on the premises

Thank you for the additional comments. Genuinely appreciate the thorough approach. Language and the definitions do matter.
Congress doesn’t always look at every specific detail of how a statute is implemented when the statute is written.
The intent may have been to codify two sequential events. In practice, a system is only complete after it is connected to a utility, which is in service. The two events are concurrently occurring. I guess it would be possible for a taxpayer to pay for a system and have it connected for service and immediately disable the system and still claim the credit. Thus, it would not be in service and still qualify.
For OPs benefit, I propose tested for in service is a standard that makes sense to follow when claiming the credit.
Additional outside support might be seen in the installers contract for services, which likely define the installation complete when the system has been connected to the utility. Moreover, the 0% solar loan programs make payment to installers only after the system is connected to the utility. Both would require tested for in service.
Just not sure how the definitions and citations you provided better enable OP to determine when it is appropriate to claim the credit -

That seems about as Florida as Florida can get.

I certainly hope things will calm done and get back to normal.

Frankly seems a bit overkill. What are people so afraid of that 9 moderators are needed? Is being a mod very time/content intense where a few could not do the job? Maybe we should have the option of choosing which mod we want for each post?

Erving can be charming but it’s so disjunct because of Rt 2. And it always smells like sulfur because of the paper mill.

Western mass is actually shit. There’s 5 decent towns that are small and quaint, yet still filled with drug addled locals. Once you’ve seen one part of New England, you’ve essentially seen them all.

From a legal standpoint, "placed in service" and "original installation of the item is completed" cannot mean the same thing.
The law for the tax credit is 26 USC Section 25D.
The term "placed in service" is found in subsection 25D(g) and the term "original installation of the item is completed" is found in subsection 25D(e)(8)(A). Since those two terms appear in the same statute, under standard statutory interpretation rules, those two terms do not and cannot have the same meaning because they use different words (source: A Guide to Reading, Interpreting and Applying Statutes, C.b.ii)
Exactly what those two terms mean hasn't been specified by the IRS, but logically, "original installation of the item is completed" sounds like it would occur before "placed in service." Accordingly, a situation could occur where the "original installation of the item is completed" in December 2022 and then later "placed in service" in January 2023. Under that scenario, the taxable year to claim the credit would be 2022, not 2023. However, to determine the correct percentage tax credit to claim under subsection 25D(g)(1) through (5), the taxpayer would need to know the "placed in service" date.

Exactly my thought, and it’s at a senior center. The 6pm one at least is at my current stomping ground of STCC, so I have home field advantage!

If I can offer my own list of underrated (mostly) Western Mass towns. Sunderland, greenfield, Southbridge (controversial pick!), shelbourne falls, and most of the towns along Rt 7 in the Berkshire’s depending on what you think of Pittsfield (I think it’s fine)

I've never ever had issues getting health insurance through the state. This state does incredibly well with caring for our people. If you're on disability you can get state insurance probably at no cost. You're also eligible for food stamps and everything else. I can totally help you with resources if you need anything. Just shoot me a message. You can also apply through one of the hospitals or clinics. They have staff available to help.
Edit to add that you don't need to be on SSDI to get masshealth. You can get it for having no/ low income as well. You can also get cash benefits until you're approved for disability through welfare.
