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.

I'm sick and tired of the dreary dismal weather here in the frozen Norf of Minnesota. The leaves are all gone and all the maples and ash trees are bare except of the pines.

The fish do not want to bite right now as we all wait for the lake to turn over and freeze. I can't wait to get enough ice to be able to walk or drive out there to fish.

It's too wet to go out hunting too. It sucks to get rained on in the forest. And it makes the scent conditions poor for the dog also.

The little birdies are huddling out there somewhere and not even coming out to visit my feeders right now.

All I've been doing is messing with a new CAD program I heard about. (it's a hobby) And finding all the weak spots in the program. Fillets are hit and miss if they will even work. I could manually draw them in, but I'm not quite there yet with the tools to do so.

I NEED some sun! I NEED some time out in the forest!

You will be joyed to hear we had about a 30 minute snow shower this morning. So winter has made her appearance felt and known. On the upside, the sun is rumored to make an appearance sometime this afternoon.

I'm to lazy to learn OpenSCAD and I don't want to think like a programmer. I got enough problems as it is. Modern 3D CAD programs are parametric enough for me. And I can always whip up a spreadsheet for more parametric goodness too.

Still, I bow before your greater skills than mine if you can make both Blender and OpenSCAD work. Because I can't!
