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.

I'm having a baby any day and used to go to the pub to watch the footy with my mates.

Now moving forward I figure I can have mates over here to watch

Hmmm, tricky. +1 for Simon Whistler, -1 for TV too high. 🤔

Yeah in thought about lower but as it is I'll walk into it with my head and lower would have left the PowerPoint etc exposed. I'll see how it goes can always lower it in the future.

Most certainly, thankfully I have my blower.

The whole balcony is always dusty unfortunately

A cheap tarp cut to size and a roll of duct tape to make a sleeve to go over it when not in use?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's a great idea, I might try sort that out this weekend. My wife likes sewing might see if she can make one from an old bed sheet or something so it's less scratchy

Enjoy the hell out of it. Cheers.

I don't get it. Had it been up to me, I would not even own a TV. Outside I have a kamado. I have trees and my bees. I have my dog sniffing around and the cat lurking at some prey. TV's just don't fit in.

I live in the tropics, outside on my balcony is cooler then inside my house.

Also my balcony is a large entertainment area good for mates over.

Anything worthwhile to watch?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not really, just waiting for afl season to come back on

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Misread as "alf". Still upvoting because good either way.
