Inspired by the 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 isn't an advice forum
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 recently got one too. I previously just used sharpie and painters tape or a small strip of paper and scotch tape, but the label maker is great for things that will have the same label for a long time. Looks very nice.
I'm still using the old ways for shorter term labels. But the label maker is motivating me to finish getting things together faster.
The software is a dumpster fire, and the printer wastes a blatantly obscene amount of tape with every print. And this is the best label maker on the market.
I haven't been able to figure out how to do continuous printing on it without having to cut the labels with a separate pair of scissors. A previous handheld p-touch did this fine which minimized waste. (It would begin to print, prompt you to cut, then finish printing.)
I'm thinking it was user error on my part, but I'm hoping diving back into the docs will help.
At least third-party tapes seem to be very reliable.
There are third party tapes?!
I hope you have labeled the label maker first thing after unpacking.
We had a Dymo Label Writer at work and one day when I was bored I wanted to see if I could print images with it and yes, it is possible. I did a strip of stickers with my friend's face on them. It's also possible to print pictures with a thermal receipt printer, although it sounded like the printer didn't like that very much.
Jelly. Live your best life with that piece of kit
I’m putting all of my medications and supplements into attractive glass bottles, and making each of them custom casettepunk-style labels.
Best life: achieved.
The world needs more punk apothecaries
Oh the organization that you can do. A proper way to spend en evening.
