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.

We spent a few years in Ottawa, experiencing a winter that 8 years in Calgary did NOT prepare me for. We learned the value of seasonal tire swaps and we are so pleased that tire shops will store your spares for you. Since we aren't handy mechanically and we also prefer to let the professionals do the work properly, this really works out well for us.
Yes, it's more expensive than storing and swapping our own tires, but we can always budget for regular maintenance and preventative safety work by pros. I don't do an appreciable part of the driving, now, and I value the things in the car when it's moving more than I value spare cash in the bank. A+++, would buy again, every time.
Yes, we live in the V3, no longer in the Ts or Ks, and we're pleased and proud we can still avoid the hassle and risk.
