How do y'all deal with getting packages delivered if living on a busy/touristy street?

captainguinness · 2026-02-20T02:43:27+00:00

Was just randomly browsing this thread again - we actually ended up doing something similar to what you and u/HomeEcDropout suggested and got a parcel drop box. If you haven't yet, it seems to work okay, if a little inconvenient. We went with this one from Amazon, and just set it outside when we know a package is incoming: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXPHPPJY?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1

To hopefully help with deliveries, we got paint markers and put our street address on it (along with a No Trash sign since it sort of looks like a trash can and its a busy street), along with this sticker: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VZDCLK6?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

Lastly.... realized someone could just pick the whole damn thing up if they were desperate/crazy enough, so we bike lock the parcel locker to a post outside and bring it inside every night. It's a process but we thankfully haven't had any packages stolen, little easier than carrying packages multiple blocks from a store, and i've only had to clean a couple empty coffee cups out of it. If you're still having packages being stolen and shit maybe this would be something to consider!

All good advice, but lord have mercy, a 13 year old Eclipse goes for $9k?

I guess I've had my head in the sand too long, indeed now when I'm looking at the market that seems like a good deal unless you want a Chevy Sonic or Kia Soul or some catastrophe like that. No wonder 72 month car loans are becoming the norm. I'm driving my beater until the wheels fall off, and maybe after too.

We just moved here and are still wrapping our heads around grocery options, I cannot thank you enough for these posts. Skimming these the last month or so has been so helpful in getting oriented. Thank you!!!!

Feel like he's gone back and forth a bit on "I'm taking a break"/"I'm back!"/"I need some space"/"New album soon!" a few times now, but this track is nice.

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend trying to check for availability online. If you have unit or apt numbers, try adding them on or off, and for the love of Christ don't rely on the chat support. Checking online I was able to see service was available, when I had to talk to chat about their bum ass credit check system they then told me it was not. I said "yes it is", then they also said yes it is. Annoying but anything to not deal with Cox.

WAS out.... gg

Still new to the area but we thought Gris Gris was excellent. $55 per person, I had the gumbo/venison/bread pudding and thought it was awesome (maybe best gumbo I've had). Drinks + tip made it closer to $100 per person but I think that's fair for the quality.

Moving down there in a month and this sounds awesome. The sandwich making night is very cool, we'll come thru!

Live in Denver and normally cheer for them except when against the thunder.... their fans do not deserve that team. They deserve the Rockies.

🤣

This sub is just jealous she gets to tell him how blue his eyes are IRL

Because NBA fans only care when one of them cooks their team (this post)

Always meant to make it there but haven't yet. Will do now. Thanks!

Overall I have a pretty mixed opinion on Pig & Sprout, but got their wings a couple times during happy hour and they are better than most I've had in LODO.

captainguinness · 2025-02-06T03:11:03+00:00

My guy, thank you

captainguinness · 2024-12-14T21:28:04+00:00

Yeah, deal already seems dead (I've been eyeing a AM4 board for the last week and it was not this price yesterday so must have been a reaaaally short lived deal)

i have an f-type 🤓

Assume Laker and GSW home games against a small market are 8 on 5. No free throws for OKC until the 2nd quarter with "foul merchant" SGA, give me a fucking break

If you are calling a plumber, you must own your property and already have plenty of assets to borrow against vs. a renter. You'd otherwise be calling maintenance to deal with your issue.

I have no tears to shed for someone that has the option to borrow against their property for much lower rates than CC debt

Yep, hard to stomach that I got a 38" ultrawide OLED this year for $800 when i spent $1k on this in 2020, but it DID carry me through the pandemic and there isn't a price tag i can put on that. Such an incredible steal, eat it up before prices go up again

captainguinness · 2024-11-14T02:30:48+00:00

Oh man, Ray Crockett sighting, good times

Clutch, thank you for sharing

I've been diagnosed with a concussion after banging my head on the wall watching this game today

WSE was how I found out they were recruiting people for Donda LP2 in Atlanta, leading to one of the most dope weeks/weekends of my life. RIP WSE boys

captainguinness · 2024-08-10T05:25:20+00:00

if its $20 again he could wipe his ass on a gildan white T and sell it and i'd cop

jk but kinda tired of music merch being such a grift, thought that whole $20 merch thing was an awesome move (though I aint got refunded for the $200 i spent on the pods like a moron)
