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.

I literally offered it as-is last week, not running, for around $400. Nobody took my offer, so I got it running again myself. Price went up to $1000.

Engine sounds smooth as silk for being just a hair over 200k miles, transmission good too. Needs keys.

Yeah, this is not intended as an advertisement, more like how I got a deceased person's truck running again. I had to fix basically all the main battery wires, and break the ignition lock.

It cranks, it runs, it needs quite a bit more work, and this isn't exactly dull is it? 🤦‍♂️

Amongst conversation between myself, my mom, and my roommate, we've decided we're probably going to keep the truck afterall. I'm not sure whether it'll get put in my name or my roommate's name, whichever yields cheaper insurance I guess.

Paperwork still to process, money to invest, needs a new battery, ignition, and driver's door, but yeah we could use a truck every now and then..

That's awesome. Hope it works out well for you because, yeah, having a truck on hand is incredibly useful. Even maintaining it (taxes, insurance, etc) is less hassle than renting a truck when you need one or having to shell out for delivery.
