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 isn't an 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 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 went down to the hardware store, and found there were two sizes of tub lever covers, so I bought both sizes, intending to return the other unneeded one.

The lever cover screws were easy to remove, and fortunately, the brass linked rods and plug were easy to fish out.

It turned out that the part of the lever just behind the cover had cracked and broken.

I lined up the old linked rods on a flat surface, adjusted the new rods to the same length, gave the new plug a thin coat of silicone grease, and it went back in easily, with a little flexing to persuade the rods to go around the opening lip.

I screwed in the new cover, tested the plug and it holds back water great!

I returned the unneeded plug mechanism to the store for a refund.
