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 gloves do you use? I've got a pair of Mechanix gloves that have been wearing pretty well - thicker than my usual gloves (muc-off work gloves) but they haven't stopped me working on fiddly stuff yet.

I’ve been using these VGO gloves from Amazon. They’re the best I’ve found so far, but that’s not an endorsement from me, more the best of a bunch of crappy choices.

I got pretty upset when I took a chance on a $25 pair of what were supposed to be heavy duty Milwaukee work gloves that didn’t last a week.

I’d be interested in those Mechanix gloves if you don’t mind sharing a link

I like the fastfit ones - because I'm a sucker I paid extra for the 100% bicycle mechanic ones. We're a vain bunch haha.

I've heard horror stories about knock offs from Amazon but these have given me no issues. I've used them for some harder work but not extensively so YMMV.

Thank you for the link! I’ll check those out.
