It was better back in the day. Once about 30 years ago my uncle, who was suffering from dementia, put just our last name and "San Jose" on a letter and it made it to our house.
Present day, I ordered car parts last year and the last digit of the zip code was off one digit. My street I lived on in SJ was Charmeran Ave. I believe there is only one Charmeran Ave in all the US. Nope, couldn't figure it out. Tracking showed it going all the way to my local post office, then going back to the vendor. |

The other option, and more likely to work, would be to go to the other address, talk to the folks that live there and ask that they please not steal your packages, but call you. You could always bribe them with a neighborly treat of some sort.

I went my first ballet show today.
I was expecting the audience would be like this. And the artists would be like this. Instead they were charming. And people liked the show a lot. Some loved it a little bit too much. I had to do the clapping thing a lot. But it was fun. Though I'd prefer a nice opera. |

Got an air frier & instant pot for Xmas. Testing out today & it’s working nicely. Tomorrow or next week, I’ll test the instant pot.

We got our daughter an air fryer for Christmas. I wouldn't trust it to fry chicken - without lots of lard - We have a instant pot, that I've used upon occasion. I don't much like it because it cooks too quick and doesn't give me enough time for a nap - humfrz |

It's also good for potato and sweet potato fries. if you spritz them with oil they turn out pretty well. if we need larger batches, our Samsung convection oven works just as well though.

https://a89b8e4143ca50438f09-7c1706b...pdf?1563392832 we've done a bunch of them. they're less than ideal-- ideal being fixture replacement with an led variant. but there's many oddball fixture installations that it's easier to just yank the ballast and rewire than go through the effort of attempting to re-install a newer/better fixture that doesn't fit the same way. most of the times we use them is in industrial spaces where the fixtures are connected with conduit, and the only way to replace the fixture would be to completely re-do the entire installation from scratch-- rewiring the bulbs for led is a fraction of the labor time. if you have a t8 fixture, you'll generally need to replace the tombstones(bulb-holders), as t8 tombstones are shunted(shorted), and can't provide hot and neutral on the pins. this video is mostly how we do it, but we don't remove the fixture. if the fixture can be that easily removed, replace it: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOPjCbcXNyE[/ame] if you've got a t12 fixture, as long as the tombstones are in good shape yet and aren't getting brittle, they are already non-shunted tombstones, so you only need some orange wire nuts to re-wire them the way the above video shows. this video accurately shows t12 conversion, but i don't like that they connected all of the unneeded wires together on the other side(i cap every individual wire), and they also don't do a good job showing how to identify which side of the tombstone is which(important!) like the first video showed. but they do show installation of the UL-required sticker that comes with the bulbs that is required to be installed onto the fixture to warn future people that sparks will happen with normal florescent bulbs! : [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shrXPyjB2O4[/ame] and a final note-- in both videos, they show the conversion of a 2' x 4' drop ceiling lay-in fixture. lay-in fixtures are the least cost-effective to convert in this method. we've always replaced the lay-in's with flat panel lay-in fixtures, as the cost of the fixture combined with the labor of removing and re-installing is less than that of the cost of the bulbs and the conversion process. not to mention, most fixtures are yellowing or falling apart by the time we do the conversion from being installed for 10+ years, so it also alleviates issues with parts breaking, and ensures a consistent final product instead of trying to explain to the customer that we replaced the guts but not the crap that contains the guts... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Metalux-...24FP/305053624
