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.

Over 50 years ago my doctor would remove my warts with a soldering iron. He would freeze it then burn it all away. Now the doctors scam you, they freeze it a bit and then make you come back again and again so they make more money instead of removing it all at once.
I did a lot of wart removals. My method worked well enough I never had a repeat patient.
I'd make a ring of surgical lube around the wart to protect the surrounding skin and tell them "Let me know when it's too cold to bear." I'd hit it with a liquid nitrogen bottle until they say stop. Wait a minute, repeat. I'd do about 5 rounds right there and they never came back to see me.
Nice. Good to hear there are still some honest doctors out there.
Doing it in increments reduces scarring, old man. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Can also do it at home with an over the counter kit if you want it cheaper, worked for me.
Then why did my old doctor do it all at once. Also I asked my GP if it was a scam as I used to get it done in one shot. He agreed there was no need to go many times.
As I said, young man (not sure why we need identifiers but I will play along). I asked my GP and he said 1 shot is fine. He even agreed that after the 5th time it was getting ridiculous. That particular doctor was scamming. Oh and wart was on the bottom of my foot so who cares about scarring.
Wow. If I have them again, will try that at home. Thanks.
