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 isn't an 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 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.

We've had rope on here before but it would always get loose and fray, I also always wanted to mes with rigging so decided its the perfect excuse to buy a crimper.

Drilled holes into the pipes to put the eyelets. Got two cables up for now, at least the hard part is done, running the cable and crimping isn't so bad. The drilling and stuff was the hard part

nice metal clothes pins

My mental alarm is going off, but maybe unnecessarily. Please make sure they’re sealed and regularly check that there are no chips in the coating, because any iron in them is going to rust when regularly exposed to brief periods of moisture and leave stains on your laundry. If they’re coated in aluminum, they should be fine. If they’re entirely aluminum, I’d worry about their strength for things like duvets, but for regular clothing and linens in mild wind, they should be fine.
