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.

We've only gone out maybe a dozen times and this is about half of what needs to go.
I'm sure tens of dollars were earned at the scrap yard.
Some of those chunks of steel look pretty thick, it's really heavy, 13 cents a pound last I checked, which was over a decade ago. Depending on where you live. Surprisingly areas on the ocean with ports may offer much lower prices than those in the upper midwest, maybe because the steel manufacturing in the great lakes region.
I took what I thought would be like $50 to $100 worth of cast iron that was hundreds of pounds taking up space in my garage. I got $15. Waste of time imo. Better off putting it out for curbside pickup. It cost more in gas for me to drive down there than they paid me for it.
Plus you can get a flat tire from from visiting the yard.
