What are /r/lehighvalley's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This is honestly the best I found. I lived here as a kid and recently moved here from closer to Philly, and honestly don't really have many friends here either.

This subreddit is the mos active of this area. r/Pennsylvania and r/philadelphia will definitely have more but won't be in this area.

meetup.com will have "meetups" you can join. I personally usually go to tech or scientific meetups but they're scarce around here.

I get that haha. I can't think of anything that would cater towards that besides maybe one of the skate parks but those are pretty public as well. I noticed some people were going here. I've never been personally though.

Yeah so you fill this puppy to the brim with table salt. And it has sights on it and everything, it’s a really fun time just pumping and dumping into any kind of fly you come across. It’s really fun for spotted lanterns is what my brother-in-law tells me

Bug-A-Salt 2.0 from Skell, Yellow https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00STSZ77G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3oljFbYRGTVH9

Search “Kirkridge shelter” that will get you to the Delaware water gap. It’s a short hike from the road to the shelter if your going south bound. North bound will take you to wolf rocks and wind gap toward blue mountain. I apologize I can’t remember the name of the rod where you can park, but I’ve hopped on the AT there a few times with a buddy from Bangor. This might help as well: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/pennsylvania/wolf-rocks-trail--2

Check this trail out, I did it a couple years back, steep hike up the red trail, and if you go the Blue trail down it's a bit of rock scrambling. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-jersey/mount-tammany-red-dot-and-blue-dot-loop-trail

When my 8 year old daughter was having issues with this, We got this from a school psychologist, that my wife works with. It has really helped with here anxiety and worries. Its something we have been reading regularly with her.

I hope it helps.

So I’m biased because I own the company but The UBMe app (avail on both android and iOS) allows you to speak to other people in real-time via live chat who are in the same community as you.

The app has hundreds of geo-fenced areas from businesses, apartment buildings, neighborhoods and city’s.

If you’re located within the gel-fenced area you are able to check in and communicate with others there.

It’s a good tool to tell others around you to join in order to keep in touch.

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know what you think.

Where exactly are you located?

Consult r/plumbing, there are a few easy tricks you can do if you can identify the symptoms. Service techs are still overloaded from covid and the wait time is bad, especially now that everyone is firing up their heaters.

You need to know if they are steam or hydronic (recirculating hot water) which is much more common and rarely seen in dwelling made after 1970. If there is one pipe going in, a whistling metal thing, and no pipe going out it is steam.

Next you need to know if the boiler is running, which should be obvious but if the water isn't circulating it will shut off when it reaches temp, even if the house is cold. It will be physically warm as will the room it is in.

Is there a switch on the thermostat? Some of them have a switch marked heat/cool as they power air conditioners as well, and if set to cool won't run at all.

If the system seems to be working a little but not well, look for a bleeder valve. You can buy the key if you don't have one. When you open it, water should come out. If not, air should. If neither do you have a different problem and should close it again.

There is a place called lucky fun time games. Click Here :)

I love going there, even if they don't have something your looking for, they can sometimes find it for you.

Sign up for MeetUp.com and check out some of the groups, theres things from Movie Buddies, to Young Professionals to 20s/30s in LV. great way to meet people and do some fun things in the area.

Bear Rocks Trail is exactly what your looking for!

Yup. Minute 146:30 it starts but anyone with half a brain should think “well, let me rewind a little farther to the start of this conversation and hear it all.” By 146 they’re well into the story already.

Everyone love “hot takes” and instant outrage. If there’s something to rage about them absolutely, go bonkers. But for fucks sake, be armed with a solid argument.

Another possibility is nextdoor.com - depending on your location. I know there was at least one person taking collections of children's things in particular for donation to a local shelter. Good luck!

I wouldn't say the area is poor for tech meetups. There are quite a few! Everything from lock sport and maker spaces to cryptocurrencies are around. Meetup.com is normally pretty good for that.

I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appitekjc.recallingpro2

I don't necessarily recommend it as it installed extra apps without my permission.

If you are using android you will have to hangup for any radialer from my understanding. But that makes things a lot easier.

It really depends on what you want to make. You can make a very simple desk using a few pieces of joined hardwood and some iron pipe. You can build the entire thing with handtools if you wanted, though electric sanders are helpful.You can see the idea of what I am talking about here https://www.amazon.com/Reclaimed-Wood-Desk-Table-Rustic/dp/B01F6JTOK6

I made one of these from a reclaimed pine bar top, the process is really easy you can order all of the pipes to be cut from your local home depot type place and you can join the top from purchases lumbar or glue and join reclaimed pieces if you have access. Really lets you make a nice modular desk exactly the way you want and they are usually quite light, and easy to take apart if you have to move.

If that isn't really up your alley perhaps these guys could be a place to check out: https://www.instagram.com/artisanwoodproductsllc/?hl=en its a small woodworking place in coplay, could totally be the type of place to talk to if you want to really get into woodworking. I don't know much about them tho, just recently saw them.

Alright, so as a heads up there could be other issues but it's not always a battery.

There are some computer shops that I'm aware of, but I normally do my own work so I couldn't vouch for any. I'd look at reviews however.

If you just want to buy your own battery, look for you model # and type battery on Amazon, Ebay or on Google.

You need to do extensive research to verify the part will fit.

For example, my old laptop, here

There's like, 15 model numbers in the title. Some will work, some won't. It's good to find one with people of your model # mentioning it does work (or it doesn't) so you can verify it works. I also don't recommend skimping on the part.

I've found buying cheap will result in much quicker deterioration or iffy quality.

I do the 155 Mbps package for $50/month from RCN. I do a lot of PC gaming, so I download GBs of stuff every month. I would be sitting for hours on end with slower plans. I also forgo cable TV for streaming services.

Pro tip: get your own router and modem. You'll save yourself a lot in rental fees and equipment return headaches.

I do, in Palmer, it's not that great 18 channels and only 2 that I would use. I got PS vue so I only actually use the antenna for WFMZ 69's channel the other channel is the Philly Fox station, but I get that with vue. I'm at work now so don't know the rest, but if I recall like 3 PBS stations and some other stations that play old movies and a Spanish speaking station. Antenna was $15 so not much spent on it, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00INHG5QA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
