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.

Any thoughts on the best battery charger? We have a Nitrcore pro charger. Curious if he’d like an upgrade, or if a few more packs of batteries would be enough. We do cycle through them quickly in this house.
I've got mostly EBL-brand batteries and 8-bay charger. They work well but the charger uses micro-USB which is kind of a bummer.
The other set I have are by PowerOwl. They also work great, and the charger (only a 4 bay) is USB-C.
Both brands are the low self-discharge Ni-MH style and can charge any combination of batteries (some chargers require them to be charged in pairs; neither of these have that limitation), so no complaints.
If you live near IKEA, they have a sleek ass 8 bay charger that closes shut and attaches to a wall. And they sell eneloops (in the name of ladas) but they’re from Japan and were (and still likely are) eneloops. And eneloops are the top tier of the rechargeable batteries.
Edit: forgot ikea ships now, usually with a minimum total, but they do ship now
Btw thanks for asking, I’ve got many dullsters to think about
The latest version of the 8-bay Xtar VC8 uses USB C and is great for NiMH, NiCd and Li-ion.
