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.

My cheap plastic sprayer was leaking from the part that rotates to adjust the spray, so I replaced it with this metal on with fewer moving parts and frills.

You're just fishing for complements on that beautiful lawn aren't you you beautiful bastard.

[–] stevethegeek@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Lol, the lawn only looks so nice because it's not in focus. It's actually pretty patchy right there.

These are really the best ones, they last a long time and there's no plastic to break.

I've had them rust to uselessness.

[–] stevethegeek@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That's exactly what I'm hoping for

Is it Gilmour? Made in Pennsylvania last time I checked.

Looks like you can attach a hose to your nozzle end. That's pretty wild.

It's intended for something like this, or this

It's just a store brand from Lowe's. Honestly I didn't know nozzles were such a thing until this post.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I have two of those and think they are the cat's meow.

Woah i didn't notice that, very interesting. I guess that makes it function like a valve in a larger system. Huh

[–] Bell@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I've bought several kinds similar and I'm always sorry, that's the right one

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

make sure you use some graphite or silicone lubricant on the nozzle rod. I've got hard water issues and those sprayers get locked up after a couple years of regular use.

you could probably pump some CLR through it at the end of the year too, but they're pretty cheap to go buy a new one.

My only complaint on these is that they are rough if you use them to water plants. Otherwise they are the superior choice for everything.

I just like the way he reviews stuff. Straight to the point, it's great.

[–] miseducator@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

The classic. Hose water out of this bad boy just tastes better.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

That design has been around for man, many years.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 4 points 3 days ago

This one is a buy it for life. I have one that's 20 years old and been left out multiple winters with 4 feet of snow on it. Only ever replaced the gasket.

Great buy!

Thanks, it's a great watch. Nixon Heat A1320. Simple, digital, not smart. I love it.
