An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Not sure if any of you are aware of these speakers.

They charging cables are utter shite (latest models now use USB-C) and don't last very long.

Had a random barrel charger and it actually fits!

I've got this thing (probably a misconception) where I think that if my hands are soft and moisturised I'll get even more cuts than I do now.

Na, won't happen, but you'll get less cracking and actually better usability. Think of a cracked dry leather glove vs a well maintained one. Also, the ladies tend to appreciate smooth fingers and trimmed, filed down nails.

In the first workshop back in the days when I was an apprentice, they had what they called "invisible glove" a silicon containing foam for before work and a really good hand moisturizer from some industrial supplier for when you left work. Walking from the locker room and clocking out was usually enough time so my steering wheel and gear shifter didn't suffer.

One of the more important things I learned back then, there's no second chance to take good care of your skin, especially when you're handling cutting fluid, various oils and the like.
