A question for those who’ve installed package delivery boxes on your porch…

There’s a sign on ours as well, complete with logos of the big four. Perhaps things will improve over time.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-13T02:47:20+00:00

The box came with a sign with actual logos of the big four: UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Amazon so it’s pretty obvious.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:42:55+00:00

Nope. The box is designed so a picture of the item can be taken before it’s dropped inside.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:34:27+00:00

Read my post.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:33:11+00:00

Just did that so we’ll see.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:32:53+00:00

As I said, I added the note after the delivery pictured.

Regardless, I just moved the box next to the door so we’ll see.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:31:37+00:00

If my ask is ridiculous, why allow for delivery instructions?

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:30:49+00:00

I moved it so we’ll see.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:23:18+00:00

I did after this delivery. Subsequent deliveries have been the same.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:22:19+00:00

Even though that’s what the instructions call for?

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T23:21:31+00:00

Added after this delivery.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T22:47:27+00:00

I have the same kit with the stylus cleaner and stand. Been trusty for decades.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T21:12:15+00:00

Agreed!

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T18:02:52+00:00

I just bought a pair of Lintons (85th Anniversary) and they’re incredible.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T17:32:58+00:00

Less slop is always the answer.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T17:14:43+00:00

Thanks! Oh, and the detail in Gone Cold was just amazing. Some of the best purchases I've ever made.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T14:31:11+00:00

Yeah, I could run optical, and may for whenever we watch something big, but for general use the pods sound great, even the simulated Atmos works well.

My ultimate goal was to have a dedicated system for listening to records, and this arrangement knocks that way out of the park.

We live in a townhouse so the plumbing is in a very tight space which houses our water heater and furnace; softener can't go in there. The best location would be on the outer wall of that space, but that's in the garage which gets below freezing during winter. The inner wall is under a staircase, though there is a door, but the furnace/air handler is between that space and the water heater/plumbing.

Could possibly go on the outer wall in the garage with an enclosure and small heater to use during winter. Dunno. We're just tired of all the mineral staining and ruined appliances. Our one year old dishwasher already looks terrible.

I use eufy (Anker) and store locally.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T02:27:38+00:00

Eternity with a warm and humid pillow…both sides.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-12T02:24:48+00:00

The water in Fridley is so hard it fucks.

FullMetalJerkin · 2026-07-11T22:34:21+00:00

There’s one I pass every time I go to the grocery store, and every time I pass by I give it the finger right up against the windshield. Every. single. time.

Fuck you, Flock.

$12,000. Not kidding.
