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 or 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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

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. Not 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.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

And here I am using an IR thermometer like a cave man

Any IR thermometer is a thermal camera with enough patience and a few color pencils.

Corners of rooms, especially outside corners and wall sections behind furniture and then compare them with the dew point in the room.

If the walls are colder than the dew point, you'll get condensation.

If you have a pet that isnt allowed on the bed but you know she gets on it when you are not there, now you have the tools to get that proof. >=)

Look at IR reflections on matte steel surfaces - you'll probably find that the longer wavelengths get reflected quite well on a surface that is matte in visible light.

About 70% of your pizza is 70° hot!

Coolest thing to look at is running tap water, switch from hot to cold

I want a phone with a thermal imager but I'm worried it would be a shit phone if I did because it'll be a 10 year old industrial affair

How important is it to have it built in? Could just get a FLIR add-on module
