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.

I found the amount of work it took to split that log upsetting! Surely you need a heavier axe / maul?
(I'm really enjoying your 360 videos!)
I'm doing this as a sport: it's good physical exercise, and it forces me to land the maul with precision to "draw a straight line" from the front of the log face to the rear, to initiate the split - which isn't too easy for me because I'm missing half of both my feet, so my balance isn't the best.
It's also why I don't really bother sharpening the maul: it's a bit dull and I don't mind that it takes more blows to split a troublesome log. I like that it's safer when it's dull better too.
Some particularly knotty or large logs will take me 10 minutes to split, but I always get them in the end 🙂
Thanks!
