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
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.

No it's not really necessary. For many trades a van or a small box truck is more practical. It's what most of the world outside of North America uses.
Pickup trucks popularity as a status or recreational vehicle has heavily influenced the modern design. It's made the newer models harder to use for work without significant modification.
I have driven pickup trucks for work for 20 years now. It's gotten so that I dread having to purchase a new one. It seems like every new model has more "features" to break.
Oh man, here we go with the vans again. TDG, are you familiar with that? Massive pain in the ass to transport welding gases in a van vs a pick up. Massive pain having to load and unload a welder. In a van vs pick up. Got a heavy trailer? Yeah you ain't pulling that in a 3500 sprinter or express van. Got long shit it can hang over the tail gate or roof with one strap, instead of a dangly ass string pinching the doors tight to hold your shit in place. Oh BTW veichles naturally have a negative interior air pressure. Meaning with the rear doors open the exaust fumes are getting pulled inside. Mmmmmm delicioso. You gona hand load a 6ft x 8" x 1" thick plate by hand in to your van? Or you know overhead lift with a crane or fork lift like the rest of the world. Tell me how comfortable it's to drive 8-10hrs in a van to a job site, ... I can go on and on on and on on why vans aren't the one and only choice for work vehicles.
My rule to tradies in pickups is "if it's dirty, it's deserved." Friend of my dad's a landscaper and the mud is usually hip-height at least.
