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.

They never are. I go through work gloces at a rate of about a pair every three-ish week, and what drives me bomkers is that it's nearly impossible to find a pair of work gloves that doesn't have the stupid touchscreen pads that don't even last a day. Gloves without the pads are either too bulky or too thin/would last about a day altogether.

I don't need the touch pad tips, and what I can't stand is the slippery fabric underneath the grippy touchpad surface that ruins my ability to grip things.

Site gloves are pretty good have you looked at those?

When you find a pair that works: buy a bunch. Right then and there.

On the fire crew I found a model from wells Lamont that fit just right and offered decent longevity. I bought 10 pair and was a happy man
