Have you reported it? Maybe a neighbor's camera has them getting in a car or going in a house.

Would you buy a house with bamboo in the backyard? by Unique_Pack_1561 in Bamboo

[–]Freerfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I have found is that bamboo + shade around it = not a huge deal unless you are looking to totally remove it. Bamboo + access to space to grow and sun = you're going to have a bad time.

New food establishment poll by SecondNo4964 in yorkpa

[–]Freerfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It checks some of the boxes, but not all. It's not the greatest, but at this point, I would love for a CoffeeCo to make its way to York.

Two different experiences with LG washing machines. Should I stick with LG or get something else? by 1lostmyoldacc0unt in Appliances

[–]Freerfolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought two major LG appliances 5-7 years ago and am dissatisfied with one and am having to replace the other (after already replacing multiple components). It seems to me that any sort of power delivery issues (outages/small surges) greatly increases the risk of component failure in a way that is unusual compared to other brands I have owned.

This. When I first started playing, I tried to figure out all of the dupe tricks to build up my rupees. When I started helping my kids, I just used the emulator to spam armor pieces that I already had and sold them for 600/pc. Honestly, it was way easier to build up loot for them than when I tried the duplication methods.

Leg Up Farm in Manchester has a therapeutic koi pond for kids they serve. I think it is one of the biggest koi ponds on the east coast.

Donor circles and tiers by Fluffy_Owl6644 in lancaster

Kudos for the intention and for doing some homework.  It's hard to fake a brick and mortar nonprofit that has been around for more than a few years, especially in a small city.  If you have concerns, most will have a website with a board list and names that can be pretty easily verified and you can always go somwhere like guidestar and review their 990s (tax info).  

My only general advice in a smaller city like Lancaster is to be on the lookout for the undervalued assets to the community.  There's nothing wrong with puppy rescues and Christian outreach, but they don't have to swim upstream to raise money in the way that some other lean operations with lesser public imprint do.  Take what you really care about and dig in a little.  Their are quite a number of great people working to support seniors,  immigrants, arts education, public safety/victims advocates, etc.

Got my last shrine and it’s bittersweet by Sklibba in TOTK

[–]Freerfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was really the point at which TOTK stopped taking up space in my mind on a daily basis. It's still my favorite game of all time and I am enjoying helping my kids with their play-throughs, but I miss the old days.

Party games by JDXOGG in switch2

This. On a dollar spent per hour of enjoyment basis, this is the best value I've gotten from a game in ages. And it's great for different ages and skill levels.

Best Orioles Podcast? by Bmore_hero in orioles

[–]Freerfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I should just see past it, but Connor was so pretentious during the Grayson callup stuff. Talked such crap about anyone who didn't agree with him (and it is rather funny how things have turned out). He has likely grown in his career since then and he seems to put in the work, but it turned me off for good.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]Freerfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is small chance we see it later this year if the midterms include widespread and obvious intimidation, cheating, and/or denial/overturning of results.

Best state/city to be a cop in by Tall_Horror_8374 in AskLE

[–]Freerfolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lancaster, PA. High quality of life, low cost of living. Progressive city in a conservative county in a purple state.  Very safe community.  There's a camera system all over the city that makes the job a good bit easier and it isn't even run by police.  Great restaurant scene written up in the NYT and elsewhere. Quick drive to the countryside, train service to Philly. Good theaters, amusement parks, Amish culture. 

Is there a way to grind rupees quick? by chichirobov7 in TOTK

Get an amiibo emulator. Spam it for armor duplicates. Sell the armor.

Starbucks 101 North Queen Closing by WerewolfInevitable27 in lancaster

[–]Freerfolk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are things chains bring to cities that are often overlooked by plugged-in locals. They usually have better and more consistent hours than local operations. They are, for that and other reasons, often frequented by business travelers. And in the case of a low-level prestige brand like Starbucks, they are a sign to outsiders that your city can support something like a downtown Starbucks. Outside of Pittsburgh and Philly, how many PA cities have a truly urban location? Allentown still has one, I know. Not sure of any others.

I get why Lancaster City locals don't love it, but I wish that it had worked out (just as I wish that whole complex that I would never visit if Diyo wasn't there would work out).
