![email protected]

The current community here on world will stay open. I have no plans of shutting it down unless the community decides it should.

Thank you all again for creating such a wondetful place,I look forward to seeing the community continue to grow.

I've created a new Lemmy instance at dullsters.net

When I created this community several months ago I had no aspirations of it becoming much of anything. In a short amount of time it has grown to over 1500 subscribers and is one of the top recommended non-political communities. I am always looking forward to the posts that are shared here, and the unique culture being developed.

I see the importance of the decentralized aspect of the Fediverse. We frequently see drama surrounding moderation and federation policies. None of that applies to the content in this community.

I have no qualms with admins running their site the way they want to and they are often placed in difficult positions. However, this is one of the true places of neutrality on the Fediverse and it should remain that way.

In the few months this community has existed there have been maybe a half dozen moderation actions taken. You have remained, for the most part, very dull, and I thank you for that.

The name of the community should be changed, I hadn't realized that dull men's club was the result of someone else's ideas and work. The new name should represent this community that you all have created and the place it exists, The Fediverse.

The new instance won't have any users except for the purpose of moderation, you will still use your account from a federated instance. I'm still ironing out a few wrinkles with the site, it should be done whenever I get around to it.

In the meantime suggestions for the new name should be made in a top level comment so that they can be voted on.

Thank you all once again for making this community what it is.

This is a tad embarrassing. You see, I thought that I was merely copying a popular Facebook group. I was unaware that Dull Men's Club was an official club. Please give the site a peruse as it is quite a delight!

And it's a square crimper because it's simply better for wire ferrules. Hexagonal crisper are for coaxial cables.

Because it was 2 bucks cheaper than the black electric toothbrush.

It was sticking and not refilling correctly possibly due to some buildup. A bit of vinegar to clear out any buildup and a finger full of grease and it's bobbing like a dream.

Turns out washing your head with shampoo twice and blow drying afterwards fixes my itchy scalp. Don't ask me why, I don't know. I just know that since my hairdresser did that, I feel so much better.

Thought I'd spread the word, because it is so frustratingly simple :D

I watch over the air tv. Especially as background fair. Notice the was pretty stable and clear and realize the weather was real good and decided to tell it to auto detect channels again. Wow so many channels came through. Had to hide a whole bunch (the hide interface is so annoying. click choose between two option and click. like seems super obviously click should just toggle view/hide). That is all. Oh watching have gun will travel atm.

With the meteorological fall a mere two weeks away, I thought I would share a maple leaf from one of the ones growing in my yard as a reminder the cold winds and long dark nights are nearing for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

Here in the far northern reaches of Minnesota, the next month's forecast holds early September frosts for us. Though they are long range forecasting a warmer winter this year. A bit easier than the many days of -0F we had last year I hope. My old bones can feel the season's change coming.

My dogs can already smell the fall days afield in pursuit of a ruffed grouse or two. And maybe a sharptail or two also if my repaired knee is up to that.

I forgot to get blueberries last Sunday, and I ran out yesterday, so I went shopping early. Frozen berries with cream, cinnamon, and cashews is my nightly treat. I considered doing without till Sunday, but just went shopping early, instead.

My dressers and mirror need refinishing, I documented some of the problem areas for the Tall Dresser:

Scratches on the doors and face

Scratches and scritches from previous cat:

Damage from pull handle slowly breaking, caused by previous owner not maintaining tight handle screws

Rough corners, minor scratches

I think its made of pine

The one that has the grain going the wrong direction, it's a cutting bord cut off. I figured, what the hell, it's probably just going to be decorative.

Every video online showed a nice removable cap to access the bolt. Not my car! I had to remove the entire trim piece (mostly because it was stubborn and wouldn't give me space for my tools).

Some minty iced tea, some cold stuffed grape leaves and this pie called “chicken bastilla” which was amazing - crispy pastry with spiced chicken dusted with cinnamon and sugar…

This is this year's haul. It's not much, but I managed to pick them just when they were ripe enough to not turn into useless mush.

The bushes are completely empty. Nothing left for the birds this year 🙂

It's one of those freshnel lenses you glue to your rear window to act as a fisheye lens. It's actually surprisingly good. I can see the ground about 1.5m (5ft) behind me. I wish it would reach my rear bumper as that's what I'd like to see but this helps!

Also, I took the picture with a poor man's smartphone - my apologies.
