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.

My previous pile of wood has reached its maximum height I think:
On @redlemace@lemmy.world's advice, I stacked the new pile in a criss-cross pattern. It certainly is more compact and more stable, but also finding adequately-sized logs to make the pile grow straight is a somewhat OCD exercise that I don't care that much for.
Also, my pile doesn't look as nice as in other people's photos 🙂 But hey, it's functional.
I dont know what niche post i stumbled, but personally i use the criss-cross only at the end of the pile, because its does not topple as easy and stack the between part straight because its easier pick the firewood when they are all pointing in to same direction and you can fit more of them that way.
Also if there are some pieces that are shorter/longer or have branches or anything unusual i stackt them all in to one end.
Agreed, that's how it was meant. However, brother in law stacks like that too. Pretty neat and stable and more work too ;)
That's a bit odd to me. I want the end to be as stable as possible, therefore logs as uniform as i can pick them.
They all are on the one side so i get rid of them first and after that the stack is as solid as it can be.
Edit; Also you should clean some ice from under the airconditioner.
