Inspired by the 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 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
If you want to have one and you’re looking for a project, this is doable.
You could try to saw off the part of the pole bottom that’s above ground, then see if the core of the pole was also filled with concrete.
If not, just get a pole with a narrow enough diameter to fit in the hollow.
If so, you can coat the embedded portion in a rust accelerator (you can get ostensibly nontoxic commercial ones, but you can also use brine, hydrogen peroxide, or a strong white vinegar solution- just make sure to avoid getting any of those near plant life you want to keep) every night for a week or two, irrigating it (again, watching out for plants or portions of earth that might be exposed to runoff- to be entirely honest, I’d probably use my waterpik for some pressure without much volume of water and line the block with rags to avoid soil contamination, but that’s probably just because I have a waterpik) and scrubbing the exposed edge with a wire brush every morning. Once enough of the old pole is worn away, you can fit a new one in the hole.
This all seems like a lot of work, but so does manually digging up a concrete block, lol
