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.

I use it for the coffee beans and to seal a pour over every night so I have a non watered down cold brew for the morning ready to go.
I chop bags of onions into half onion portions and celery and carrots into 2 piece portions for soups and stews. Tomato paste into 3oz portions. Curry paste into portions for individual recipes. We make vodka sauce into a 4x recipe and freeze that. Yesterday I made a full instant pot batch if black beans and frozen them into can sized portions of refried beans. Mine has a pulse function so I reseal chip bags.
I use it a lot and need to find dedicated counter space for it. Start looking at stuff that you think would either work better if it were available in single use form or stuff that is a pain to make but freezes well.
I have a vacuum sealer machine with dedicated counter space that I use for sealing things in bags pretty often, and a cabinet full of Mason jars that I use for everything (including drinking glasses). I just never think to put the two together!
