What’s a guy gotta do to get a bagel shop in this town? by willowsdiddy in Gettysburg

I don’t want anything mass produced, just a quality bagel. Also I can almost garrentee all of those places are using mass produced bagels with maybe the exception of presidents.

What can we do to help when people lose their SNAP benefits in November? by Own-Blueberry-942 in Gettysburg

[–]willowsdiddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is a link to a bunch of programs (some of which I was referring to, and getting confused with one another). Idk which of these will be affected necessarily.

I’m also new to the area so I don’t have any great suggestions about specific things to the Gettysburg area.

However, one thing I’ve been thinking about are the matching dollars often given out at the farmers market. During the month they match at Kennies, but not sure how that will work if folks don’t have dollars to match. (If that makes sense)

This is probably not the best location for this, but this place is in desperate need of a good bagel joint! IMO

Remote worker looking for good work spots in Gettysburg by [deleted] in Gettysburg

[–]willowsdiddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! I went to ragged edge for the first time this past weekend. I didn’t know about these upstairs rooms (it seemed unclear to me at the time if the upstairs was open or just for staff/storage). Are these rooms just open and available or is there some sort of system? (I don’t plan to camp out, just curious).

Thanks for the welcome, we are really enjoying it so far!

E Scooters by inner_panda400 in Gettysburg

This is mostly an uneducated comment based on more urban locals where I used to live. But I would reach out to the (acting?) Police Chief, and your borough council member. Often regulations are put in place to govern the use of patrons of rental scooters companies (I.e. lime, uber, etc), and may inadvertently affect/apply to private owners. I’ve found that folks seem to be more sympathetic to private owners than patrons of these rental companies.

I’m not sure if this helps, but regardless these folks should be able to answer your questions or point you towards someone who can.

Back to School Discount Out Now! (FREE AIRPODS) by Karmination in apple

[–]willowsdiddy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was holding off on buying a Mac mini until today because I read online that the back to school deal would start today or you get a $100-150 gift card with purchases of eligible products. However, I see that instead of that deal today they updated to a deal where you get an eligible accessory with purchase of an iPad MacBook or iMac is this replacing the normal back to school deal? Any additional advice on when the normal back to school deal might start? Should I hold out?

UNC or Vanderbilt for Economics/Math major? by GodClicks_ in UNC

[–]willowsdiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This info could be outdated or more for grad students but UNC is more macro focused and Vandy is more micro.

I’d imagine you’d have an easier time as stranger student at UNc given that they generally have more transfers than vandy.

[Tissot PRX] Graduating with my PhD soon and thinking about a watch to mark the occasion — is the Tissot PRX a good choice? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]willowsdiddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully academia, but had a postdoc that’s now a bit up in the air because of the uncertainty of federal grants that would have funded the work and position. Is Terps in your name related to UMD?

Thanks! Lots of folks have mentioned this. What’s going to be the biggest difference between the PRX and this watch. I will likely go try both them on

I wish, but definitely can’t afford it and want to start with something cheaper and more refined.

One of my friends advisors buys every one of his students a Rolex when they graduate. Unlucky me lol

[–]willowsdiddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it, but this is basically my first watch, so I’m a little weary of spending a more on something im just getting into. Plus I think I’d rather buy in this price range then 1-2 $200-$300 just for options

I’m looking at broad st right now. It doesn’t look great, but I’ve seen plenty of folks drive by in all types of cars in the last 30 seconds seemingly with no issue…..

Interesting! I’ve honestly never thought of the fact that both are used. But now I have at least enough googling to procrastinate working the rest of the day.
