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.

Now all my projects will be slightly more bling
I find that the heads of the new "blingy" screws shear off easily. As in, the head fully comes off leaving the shaft behind.
This person uses an impact driver for every screw.
Alternative, they are not properly using the torque selector!
Yeah, my dad is too impatient to use proper settings or tools. Plus, I think he just likes the loud sound of the impact driver. But yeah, he usually either drives the screws in too far, strips them, or shears them. I try to be involved any time he is doing a project and "accidentally" bring him the "wrong tool" from what he asked for, hoping he will just use the objectively correct tool I brought instead of what he wanted. He usually does.
Needs some Deckmate screws.
