An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

Friday morning via Facebook thanks to my wife and the communities on there that are set up to find stolen cars we found my vehicle.

It was 240kms away crashed on the side of the road.

Unfortunately all of my tools were stolen they opened the boxes and removed tools draws and all.

They stole all of my consumables too.

Insurance is still assessing the car and my business insurance said the missing tools are car insurance problem because it's parked in a residential premises and are my personal property.

Car insurance will cover 1500 dollars or tools. Unfortunately I had around 50k of tools etc in my ute.

This weekend I spent 10k on tools and am obviously still far behind.

I have hired a ute and bought tools so I'm back to work now since I have no other options really, I need an income to support my wife while she has no job since she's on maternity leave.

I'm really only writing this to put some thoughts out, I think I'm having a rough time but it's just life. One for before the other and keep going you know.

I'm going to put up some photos of the car and perpetrator in the comments just so they're out there too.

Might be renting, and the number of renters that carry residential insurance is depressingly low.

oh, yeah, pretty sure my renter's insurance did back when I was renting, too. but it is true that not many people have it, even though it's so cheap
