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

All 4 rotors needed replaced?
The car has 51,000 miles on it (82,000 km) and only the rear brakes needed to be replaced. I always thought the front pads wore faster, but they still have a lot of meat on them
I always replace rotors with pads. I don't have time to take the old ones to get resurfaced, and they aren't that expensive in the grand scheme of things.
Is it a newer vehicle with adaptive cruise control? If so, the adaptive cruise on some vehicles will use the rear brakes to slow you down when needed, which can cause the rear pads to wear out faster.
Ah, good point. It does have that feature and I use it a lot. I don't let it get to the point where it brakes on its own very often, though. I'll click the cruise control off because I'm better at slowing down than it is 😀
