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 or advice forum.
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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
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. Not 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.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

You should get yourself a beer - an essential tool in these types of preparation on a Saturday.
Also, when your thermometer says 35, how do you know that it's actually 35 and not 34.9999999? Might wanna wait until 36 to account for rounding errors.
And unless you have a scientifically accurate thermometer, giving it another degree is probably a good idea.
And on top of that, just because the ambient air reads 37, it doesn't mean your patio is, so you have to account for that too.
Ergo, you should wait until at least 38. Plenty of time to kick back and "inspect" your "tools"
This guy thermos.
Nah. Just extraordinary good at procrastinating.
He should try heating the paint before he applys it. Bet you could heat it to 130 without any issues.
Stored indoors, no problem there.
