I know it’s weird but that little bit of promo swag had been on my keychain across 4 cars and now my keys are weirdly light. It makes me kind of sad.
Edit: I knew y’all would understand. I’m going to try the epoxy idea on my next day off. Your responses have turned a crummy day into a great one.


Hi, woman engineer here, so if I’m not allowed to post please delete.
That won’t take a weld, but the tab could be drilled and then a steel pin (preferably knurled) put in and braised/soldered in place … or even just epoxied. Then it would be stronger than new :-)
Why would you not be allowed to post?
She’s not dull.
Because this is the “Dull Men’s Club”, and I’m accustomed to being shut down in men’s spaces.
There was an attempt at a gender-neutral community name (“dullsters” club) but this one has been more successful. I’ve only seen very open attitudes in here though. I don’t believe it’s intended to be a men’s space.
Good to know :-)
Thank you for making me laugh :-D
My philosophy is that on the internet, everybody’s a quantum superposition of men and women. You can be whichever you want at any time as far as it matters to me. If you want to be one of the guys here, you’re welcome to be in my opinion.
Expertise is expertise and should be welcomed no matter what one’s gender might be.
I’m not really into the idea of being “one of the guys”, but thank you … when I see something that can be fixed, I want to fix it.
Not everyone feels the same way as you, unfortunately
Understood, you can be whoever you want to be and call yourself whatever you want is my point. All I’m saying is I don’t put much stock in the idea that gender really matters here. Hopefully I didn’t come across as intending to say anything offensive.
Not at all :-)
It takes a real man to be a dull woman in a dull men’s club. Or something like that
Is this the part where I crank my hog?
AROOOOO! You can be a dull man! You can be one of the boys! You can be one of the girlies! You can be whomever you want if you feel comfortable being that way and no one is being negatively affected!
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
Heh, thank you!
I think we’re too dull to be misogynistical.
Fantastic :-)
Ah who cares, I think it’s more about the theme, not the gender.
Didn’t know when I replied, but I do now ;-)
I’m bestowing an honorary man pass to you and any other women reading that want to participate in conversations that men are trying to gatekeep. It is valid in perpetuity and any objections to it renders the complainants own man pass invalid.
It’s perfectly fine as long as you’re dull. However I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as a second channel.
Then I will bow out, since I’m pretty sure I’m not dull enough :-P
Mods bring the pitchforks!
