Dull Men's Club
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.

Hey, sorry for the slow reply. I like doing the dishes too so this post resonated with me. At the moment our boiler (US: furnace?) is playing up though so I have to repressurise it every time. Cheers for posting!
My boiler won't hold pressure; there's no leaks that I'm aware of, but it also seems to operate quite comfortably at 0 bar (hot water, warm radiators). I get it serviced annually so I don't really know what the problem is.
My best guess is ghosts keeping it alive at this point (my house is very old).
No apology necessary! I hope you are able to solve your boiler issue so you don't have to keep repressurising it!
I had a boiler problem a couple months ago, and of course it stopped working the day it was extremely cold out (It was something like -10F/-20C).
Thank god I have a friend who knows about boilers. He came over and tested it and discovered it was a bad sensor, and instead of having to pay hundreds of dollars for a service technician to come out and fix it, it cost me $15USD
