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.

I always use Aspen premixed gas, it's about 4€/l and will always start, eben when a tool has been sitting for a year. Bonus: Healthier to breathe, important when running two strokes.
Four dollars a liter is crazy expensive for us here. Like I'm not even sure how much that is, but gas is 4 a gallon here and that is $1 higher than it has been.
I should just just stop being such a cheapskate though, it takes a long time to run through a gallon.
Edit: I just checked, 4 liters to a gallon, a US gallon, apparently we don't use the imperial gallon, or irish gallon, who knew? Who cared? Not our public schools. But holy shit, 16 Euros a gallon is a lot a lot of money. You are getting hosed. I am for changing from hydrocarbons but what are they doing with the money? Not that.
I use 25 liters of the stuff per year, it's really not breaking the bank. Just being sure that the engines always start and not sniffing anything that's not pure gasoline is totally worth it for me 🤷
