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 or advice forum.
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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

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. Not 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.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

This is a tad embarrassing. You see, I thought that I was merely copying a popular Facebook group. I was unaware that Dull Men's Club was an official club. Please give the site a peruse as it is quite a delight!

Extra bandage (self.dull_mens_club)
submitted 32 minutes ago by CatZoomies to c/dull_mens_club
 
 

I accidentally cut my thumb with a peeler while preparing lunch. I cleaned my work area, cleaned the wound, and put a bandage on my thumb to stop the bleeding. It didn’t stick to my skin very well, so I used another bandage to secure the bandage. They are a value brand I got on sale a few years ago, so I’m grateful for my economical decisions.

The cut stings a bit, but I’ll be okay. It’s my non-dominant hand.

I don’t believe this will prevent me from other activities I have planned for this weekend.

A Very Good Plunger (lemmy.world)

This plunger is very good for clearing out a clogged sink. Much better than any other plunger I've tried before.

I had a terminal open, running ping to monitor my internet connection earlier. Today I noticed it was close to looping, and I set an alarm to make sure I could watch it loop back to 0.

I don't know how dull it is, but I think I have 2**16 bits of dullness here.

I will cook it tomorrow. I got the tortillas with extra fiber.

Now with the window closed I don't get a draft.

I think I like the flakes better, actually. I microwave-bake bread with onion in it daily and the flakes are nicer.

Minced? Pure madness. Let alone powder.

The bolts for the handle prevent going from top to bottom in one motion across the whole door so I had to adapt. Over time, I've become pretty good at removing all the water to prevent streaks when it dries even on the sleepiest of mornings.

I just want to do cool stuff with a keyboard

I was supposed to move my car last night but I forgot. The ticket is for $65 but I found a dollar on the ground near my car so I'm actually only out $64.

I set an alarm in my calendar so I won't forget next time.

Took a long time to clean. They were pretty filthy since they were neglected for quite sometime.

Took a few q-tips to get the really stuck on stuff out.

It hurt a little bit.

It’s ok now.

I went for a haircut today. My usual barbershop has closed down, the owner retired, and the guy who did me went to another shop, that was closed today. So I went to a new place. I only asked for the usual, #4 buzz cut on the head and #3 on beard, but nobody else was in the place, and they ended doing everything they have: buzz cut, razor around the edges, hot towels, neck massage. Almost an hour in the chair.

Felt a little hustled, but it was not that much, and I did not say no to anything. I think it was a promo by the shop owner, they want me to come back. I will be in front of a lot of people next week, so does not hurt to look as good as possible, and I did enjoy it. Probably won't do it all the time, though.

It's about some veterinarians in the 30's. It's slow, doesn't have any sex, violence, or profanity. It's wholesome. It's filmed in the absolutely gorgeous Yorkshire Dales. We love it and have already watched 2.5 seasons in 3 nights.

That’s right it’s perfectly acceptable.

Also, since it was very slippery outside, two or three lorries was getting a tow on the other side of the main road, I spoke to a friend about that while passing the site, making a mental note to take a different road back. I then forgot that note...

I looked into fixing it and it'll cost almost $300. I refuse to spend any money to fix a stupid Samsung. So, my wife wants a new refrigerator made by an actual reputable appliance company, but I don't want to spend $3000. So we just live without ice, and I anticipate this will be our life until the refrigerator stops working completely.

Also has croutons and baby bella mushrooms. Shredded carrots. Lots of green peppers. I like green peppers.

My smoke detectors have been chirping for a while. I checked the 9v battery with the multimeter to see if they died. Nope, still good I checked the detector's sticker on the back and saw it was made in 2003. They're 20 years old now and I guess no longer good. So, I ordered a new pack of hardwired interconnect detectors.
