According to u.s. law, age discrimination kicks in at 40. If you're under 40 they can say you're too young.

Sometimes it's good to double up drywall in places with undedireable noise such as a bathroom or utility closet. I also reccomend puting butyl car sound deadening on the sheet metal of the furnace and plenums/ductwork near it to help reduce noise.

What kind of drywall did you go with?

Our cat slides hair ties or socks under the bathroom door so that you can play with her.

I created an instance for one specific community so that users won't be affected by who federates from who (unless you're a spam instance or something like that)

!dullsters@dullsters.net

Cyber truck wasn't going to last long anyway. It should have been apparent from the get go. Rivian was going to market and Elon panicked. They rushed it out and it's a relatively low volume vehicle. Tesla is notorious for lack of after sale support. I'll be surprised if there are any left on the road by the end of the year.

This is probably more suitable for !mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world

It looks like they put that on negative side of the batt.

Thats a transformer, it's outputting dc power. My main concern is that the batteries are sitting on end like that. They're filled with water, so if there's an air gap at the end the battery is not going to work as well.

It's better to rinse it with hot water. The rinse cycle uses so little water that hot water doesn't make it to the dishwasher if you didn't use any from the sink.

 

I created !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world a few months ago and then started seeing contraversies around moderation policies and federation that just don't apply to the type of content on dull mens club so I decided to make an instance solely to host that community.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

I'm not sure if this has happened yet, but I like the idea of having a neutral instance that users can still visit regardless of what happens. There's no user signups, only admin/moderator accounts. Users have to use an account from a federated instance.

 

I created the popular !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world several months ago.

In the interest of decentralization, I decided to create an independent instance.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

The dull mens club community will stay active, but please visit us at the new one.

 

The community voted on Wjrii@lemmy.world suggestion of

!dullsters@dullsters.net

The current community here on world will stay open. I have no plans of shutting it down unless the community decides it should.

Thank you all again for creating such a wondetful place,I look forward to seeing the community continue to grow.

 

I've created a new Lemmy instance at dullsters.net

When I created this community several months ago I had no aspirations of it becoming much of anything. In a short amount of time it has grown to over 1500 subscribers and is one of the top recommended non-political communities. I am always looking forward to the posts that are shared here, and the unique culture being developed.

I see the importance of the decentralized aspect of the Fediverse. We frequently see drama surrounding moderation and federation policies. None of that applies to the content in this community.

I have no qualms with admins running their site the way they want to and they are often placed in difficult positions. However, this is one of the true places of neutrality on the Fediverse and it should remain that way.

In the few months this community has existed there have been maybe a half dozen moderation actions taken. You have remained, for the most part, very dull, and I thank you for that.

The name of the community should be changed, I hadn't realized that dull men's club was the result of someone else's ideas and work. The new name should represent this community that you all have created and the place it exists, The Fediverse.

The new instance won't have any users except for the purpose of moderation, you will still use your account from a federated instance. I'm still ironing out a few wrinkles with the site, it should be done whenever I get around to it.

In the meantime suggestions for the new name should be made in a top level comment so that they can be voted on.

Thank you all once again for making this community what it is.

 

Do I need to do anything to get emails to send from my lemmy instance? I have the site up and running, but emails won't send. I'm using Digital Ocean as my server provider.

 

Edit: the issue was cloudflare proxy. If you're using cloudflare for dns, turn off proxying if you're using lets encrypt.

I must be doing something wrong, because when i run the playbook I get an unconfigured nginx page at the ip of my server.

The instruction docs for ansible states:

Do not edit anything inside the {{ }} braces.

however that config file points to:

Tomorrow (Saturday) will be the December Solstice. The "shortest" day in the northern hemisphere and "longest" day in the southern hemisphere. Although it will be the day with the least amount of light for many of you, it means that each day after will be brighter. For others each day will be shorter, and thus duller. For places near the equator the change will be negligible throughout the year. Of course if you live near either of Earth's poles you will need to wait a few months to see the change.

I wish you all a very dull and uneventful day.

 

I just like to make other people think there's something maybe a little exciting going on, like an enthusiast meetup or maybe a glitch in the matrix. It gives me a little chuckle.

 

I'm watching this video: https://youtu.be/2VujUm6K-IU

At times he is working with his hands with the camera directly on front of him while using both hands to work. The camera never moves or gets bumped. In one shot he is hitting something with a hammer. Is he just hugging a tripod carefully? Using a boom? I'm scratching my head.

 

This is a tad embarrassing. You see, I thought that I was merely copying a popular Facebook group. I was unaware that Dull Men's Club was an official club. Please give the site a peruse as it is quite a delight!

 

I enjoy working on and fixing all manner of things. Very often I find that I have small items that need to be cleaned. As such I purchased a small ultrasonic cleaner. On this occasion I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets on one of our cars. I place the bolts into a small plastic jar of cleaning solution, then place the jar into the ultrasonic cleaner which is filled with plain water. The ultrasonic action still goes through the container and cleans the items, and I don't have to use 2L of cleaner. I then strain the cleaning solution to get all of the items out and then pour it back into it's own sealed jar for next time and thoroughly rinse the items of cleaner.

Now once I scrape and clean the gasket surfaces and covers I have clean, dry bolts which will accurately torque to specification.
