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.

Then my lazy ass just runs summer tires all year in California because it only rains like 3 times a year and I just take it easy lol.

Depending om the temp, you may be fine, winter tires are made from softer rubber that stays softer and grippier at lower temps, but are too unstable at hotter temps:

Oh I am well aware of the differences. I grew up in the mountains where we actually ran studded winter tires on our old Volvo wagon for a few months out of the year growing up.

I live at low elevation and it never really gets THAT cold here. If it's cold or raining I drive like a grandpa anyway.

This past winter it never went below freezing where I am. I think we had two nights where it got down into the high 30s fahrenheit. Otherwise it's usually somewhere between 40 and 110 fahrenheit for the rest of the eyes. Most of that being between 60 and 90 I would say.

West coast privileges lol.
