If people are that time sensitive and using CP, they are dumb. The vast majority of people are only checking infrequently. Tbh, I don't know of a single person that checks their box daily. Even the inlaws with a box beside their front door often have mail accumulate for days before emptying it.
You want the price lower when they are already losing billions? Most of the crap businesses send already includes clauses that it is due when it is due and they don't care when you get it. Most businesses that want it delivered quickly are already using some form of upgraded shipping and not a...
Parcels could still be many days a week. Letter mail/flyers more than once a week for residential is mostly a waste (but may be necessary to deliver more frequently as there is not enough storage upstream).
Congrats on the new bike. It looks nice.
Some of the manufacturer crossover stuff is unexpected. I have a Mauser micrometer on my desk as apparently they weren't allowed to make guns for a bit after WW2 so they started cranking out tools.
The side street is quiet. While he wouldn't like it, the side street is a great location for a box. Minimal traffic and a loop at the end to allow people to enter and exit easily without backing up.
TT has it. Head comes off which frees weight. That leaves you with ~1/2 of shaft past the end of the handlebar to easily grab with vice grips. The bolts didn't need a ton of torque to get free but the heads were so soft (and pre-stripped when I got there) that you couldn't get enough traction...
Since he is down more than 150hp and has no safeties to turn off, I think he'll be ok. Hopefully your buddy and his bike weren't too painful to put back together.
The bolts bite into the rod amd there are at least two. They need to be snug but not crazy tight. You can crush the rod and/or leave a big welt that makes it hard to adjust tension in the future if they are crazy tight.
I've done them at my current house and it's not a hard job. My concern at the old house is if I encountered an obstacle with the door closed and the tension rod disassembled (or in the process of reassembly), there was no escape and no easy way to get help. For winding rods, 3/8" socket...
Modern metal doors aren't that bad even without springs. My old house had a wooden door and weighed many hundreds of pounds. Only access to garage was through overhead door. It was a real prick when the spring broke. Car jack to get it started, wood cribbing to hold it up, crawl under to get to...
I tried torx, loctite was stronger than the metal. I tried a little heat but didn't want to hurt the rubber and paint. Heat didn't make it all the way through the loctite. Drill was fast and easy.
The price for jails seems nuts even for a public project where nobody cares about the bill (well taxpayers care but they have no input). Thunder Bay is 345 beds for $1.2B (budgeted, it will probably blow past). That is $3.5M/bed in capital costs. The mind boggles.
