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.

I just did notice the old battery went dead only 16 minutes after it crapped out.

Or, perhaps 12 hours and 16 minutes after it gave out?

Nah, I had been home all day, and it's mounted just up and to the left of our TV, so I tend to look at it every half hour or so to see how long is left on the scheduled shows we watch. It really had only been dead for 16 minutes by the time I also looked at my watch and noticed, and tested and confirmed the battery had just reached bad status on my tester.

The real interesting parts here is you watch scheduled programming and have a battery tester.

Nah, I usually watch random YouTube videos, my roommate watches the scheduled TV shows.

But I have 3 different multimeters, not just one, thank you very much!
