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.

This Short SC.7 Skyvan is operated by my local mosquito control district.

I see it flying all the time.

One of 148 built.

No idea, they even self reported it below.

"As of 2021, USPS reported a baseline of 14.7 mpg for NGDVs powered by gasoline, which decreased to 8.6 mpg when operating onboard air conditioning—LLVs do not have air conditioning, though it is expected to be a standard feature for NGDVs."

That’s crazy. My car I can’t tell; I’d have to have a standard route without traffic to test the impact of AC it’s so small. That’s talking about almost halving the efficiency.

I had no idea AC could have that big of an impact until I was reading about those vehicles. I always figured it would be like 26mpg, turn on the AC, 25 or something
