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.

What manner of crafting do you do that requires that number of zipties?

Or is this a "cable drawer" situation?

You need zip ties. A small bag costs a much as the large assortment bag.

Later you are traveling and need to fix something with the trailer. Same story.

You are now a hoarder of zip ties.

that looks like the contents of a single package that had multiple sizes in it.

part of one, maybe, even--it's not nearly as many as in one of the canisters i have here.

Well, a man gotta have zip ties?

Realistically you only need two sizes; the small ones and "regular" size. Maybe wide ones for when you need that extra strenght. However, I came across this set of olive green ones and I'm a sucker for olive green, so here we are.

I've started fights with the claim that zip ties are better than duct tape

I find double sided Velcro replaces most of my zip tie use cases.
