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.

Wow! Your mileage is a multiple of 3!

[–] safesyrup@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

Damn, this number only has two divisors apart from itself and 1: 3 and 33359

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately I've ruined it. 😢

I think I know that digital gauge design. Is that a Corvette C7?

Nice!

The C7 was the last good Corvette IMO

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like it a lot. Until the Grand Sport X I wasn't really a fan of the C8. But I might consider getting one at half the price they are now.

I drove a few C8s. At the limit they're superior to the C7 but as a daily driver they're like a nice sedan. Not having a manual really demolished how special they felt to me. So I bought the C7.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I think the C8 just looks wrong; partly because it's mid-engined. I never had the opportunity to drive either of them though.

Corvettes always felt to me like simple and affordable sports cars for the masses; the C7 felt more like an evolution in that sense. The C8 is too fancy and sophisticated if that makes sense.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lots of people agree with you. Particularly in the corvette forums.

Personally from form alone I think a C6 Z06 with updated head and tail lights is peak corvette. Every time I see one I swoon.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I love the C5 myself; might just be nostalgia from playing Ford vs. Chevy back in the day. It still looks really slick, though.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A clean C5 is amazing looking and arguably the best fun to dollar you can get.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a pity they don't really exist here in Australia

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a crime against humanity.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's far from the worst GM has done to Australia...

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's the worst in your opinion? I'm completely uneducated here.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Axing Holden and more or less killing off domestic manufacturing (Ford did the same to be fair).

They inadvertently killed off the Australian ute as well, as Holden and Ford were the only ones still making those. Now all that remains are giant American pick-ups.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That sucks. Giant American pickups suck. Speaking as an American.

I too sometimes take pictures at mildly satisfying milestones

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

There a satisfying number to catch!

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's a Scorigami for sure!

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

My Tucson made it to ~250k mi... And then the transmission gave up.

It did well.

[–] seathru@quokk.au 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My Hardbody made it to 273k. And then the speedometer broke. Truck is still chugging along fine 10 years later.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] amgine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Just changed the timing belt and water pump in my tundra at 260k. Still runs great

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow, that's great for a Hyundai. Last I heard they had a reputation of engines dying prematurely.

A Diesel, right?

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 3 points 1 week ago

Some did, there was a specific factory iirc that kept causing issues with the first cylinder for whatever reason, something like that. I didn't have one of those.

Or diesel, it was a 2.4L I4, and it still purrs. Transmission was starting to slip though, and then the linkage broke, which is actually not too bad of a repair just the shift cable bushing most likely. Not worth it with the existing issues though, but it may get bought by one of the guys at the shop I like to use for him to repair on his own time. So it'll see the streets again, just not from me :)
