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.

They're top-down/bottom-up, tie into my smart home setup (whole topic in itself)

I love bottom up but its a bit harder, more expensive, and I hate losing the ledge.

This is shown down, it drops entirely from the top though. So when raised you have the sill. Could technically set a bottom position hovering above the sill if you didn't mind a gap

oh thats interesting. so it can sorta drop the whole stack and either cover from the top or the bottom? I think I misunderstood how these worked.

Yup, it can theoretically do any position where this is true: Top Limit > Top of Blinds > Bottom of Blinds > Bottom Limit

Controls can seem a little funky at first, but not bad. Once you have a preset you like it's just one button.
