alexandriao posted:not agreeing, but on the same general subject, something that I do miss is voices with singing power -- it seems to have gone out of fashion? some of the biggest women singers in pop of the 80s were not really given to power. annie lennox, for example, can belt decently, but she's at her most sensitive and expressive when she's barely whispering. she's been much more restrained with her voice since she had vocal cord surgery and it's just a delight.

there are a lot of major artists who belt from time to time. if they belt on every song they probably have an over-the-top dramatic style, like florence or sia. adele and beyonce can kick it up but also sing a lot of softer stuff

Actually it's a bit unusual but it seems like this person may not be a professional computer toucher or a regular HN poster so I'm not sure I should have posted this (I was thinking along the lines of "lol do HN posters really need an app to optimize their shower for maximum efficiency" but that doesn't really seem to be the situation here) mystes fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jan 28, 2022 |

It’s not something I control, your wife and daughter probably can’t either so even if you do it won’t do anything. Give them a timer that’ll ring every 5 mins to remind them to hurry up/get out.

they’ve for 30 years had thermostatic mixing valves you can install right on the outlet of your water heater so you can crank the tank temperature to the max 160 and still deliver non scalding water to fixtures it’s not hard to do either. if you can install a video card in your pc you can install a “tank saver”

thermostatic valves are de facto required here in australia, if you have a hot water tank it has to be kept above 60C (to stop Legionnaires' disease) but bathroom fittings aren't allowed to deliver hot water above 50C.

peakaboo 2 minutes ago | undown | root | parent | next [–] I know this is the classic thinking about these things. But working in a company where they keep bringing in new employees that are rude (the "strong woman" template), it has given me something to think about. It's just not a given that reducing out-groups makes a company culture better. It can make it worse to include those groups sometimes. It's just hard to know before. But it's morally right to not exclude people so I'm of course supporting that. Just saying it may not be a sign of a good culture even though we may think it is. reply peakaboo 3 days ago | parent | context | prev | next [–] | on: Doing too much work on one's own before looping in... Completely agree with this, and this is why I simply don't loop in others. I wrote a program the way I think it should be. Clean code, super easy to understand, super low complexity. Anyone can understand what it does. Thats fun for me, when the code is very simple, reads like English and there are no complex functions. I don't do real software engineering however (just business intelligence and python programs to extract and load data). But when it comes to looping in colleagues, I avoid it for the same reasons as above. Its exhausting. reply

donkeyd 21 hours ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: Bridge collapse in Pittsburgh’s Frick Park This seems like an easy excuse for what happened here. If you can't maintain those 450 bridges, then don't keep 450 bridges. Remove 150 of them and maintain the other 300. You can't just ignore 450 bridges and hope nothing goes wrong because you can't afford to maintain 450 bridges.

maybe i'm the weirdo but i don't have any problem using a telephone, paying cash on delivery, or showing up to pick up food i only know one person irl who would opt to find a restaurant with online ordering than make a phone call, she was an ex from ~12 years ago who also drove with both feet so i feel like i'm not the weird one here

as a product of nclb i hate making phone calls because i don't have the rubric in front of me so if i ask a dumb question or don't have every conceivable piece of information ready i assume they will be very angry at me and will punish me in some way

I will 100% prefer to go IRL in person or via zoom/facetime for things than having to use a telephone, and it's not exactly been easy
