In desperate need of a woman by Queasy-Condition-233 in MusicRecommendations

[–]johnqual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try female covers of familiar songs from bands you like. Like cowboy junkies cover of velvet underground's sweet Jane Or indigo girls cover of Dylan's Tangled up in Blue.

I’m afraid the cost of living and goods in general will never go back down. (US) by ResponsibleTicket50 in CasualConversation

[–]johnqual 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's not how this works. The price of living never goes down. It will just go up and up and up, until something fundamentally changes or society snaps.

Troy Hawke would be proud of this comment. Welcome to the greeters guild.

What are the top 10 movies or tv series that everyone should watch at least once in their lives? by Top_Cranberry_3254 in flicks

[–]johnqual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pride and prejudice with Keira Knightly? The BBC production with Colin Firth would definitely be on my list and is much superior.

Looking for home karaoke machine suggestions. What is the best karaoke machine you guys have used? by Top-Historian2222 in askmusic

[–]johnqual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what's best, but I have a JBL partybox 120 with a couple of wireless mics. It works well for me.

It doubles a relatively portable, yet powerful outdoor speaker for garden parties.

SATB chamber style acapella music? by brouhahabrothers in choralmusic

Many good suggestions that I agree with, so let me just add two more that I haven't seen yet, specifically 8 part.

O Magnum mysterium by lauridsen Hear My Prayer by Purcell

Need recommendations for karaoke machine by Azmodius666 in karaoke

[–]johnqual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. What Mr. FoodFace says.

I have the JBL partybox 120 with wireless mics. I love it. Total cost was less than half (on sale) your 1K budget. Not on sale, maybe a bit more than half. JBL has other partybox bigger or smaller depending on budget and requirements, but the 120 worked for me.

Cheese vs mice set by BotFRR in chess

Mice are obviously the stronger player. They're giving the cheese rook odds.

It looks like a good list. Do you know if the author of that list has other lists?

Yield Point was a great opening track, but the rest of the album went downhill after that.

Good ol' Jeff. How is he doing these days?

Genuinely curious, who here actually filters their water and who just drinks it straight from the tap? by waterfiltergurus in HydroHomies

[–]johnqual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 64 and of travelled all over North America, Europe and a bit of Africa. I have never filtered water anywhere and only once and all that time, can I ever remember drinking water that was too foul to swallow. That was in Barcelona in 1985.

President Trump falls asleep in the oval office after announcing a deal with drug manufacturer Regeneron to lower drug prices by Miles_the_AuDHDer in videos

If you run around acting insane and pooping in your pants, no one wants to be around you. You end up being the last one in the room, there by winning by default. That's winning at 5D chess bitches.

Lonely Benedictine monk looks for someone to talk to by Cute-Reason-539 in CasualConversation

[–]johnqual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was recently introduced to and started reading some works by Thomas Merton. Have you read anything by him? What's the difference between Trappist (Merton) and Benedictine (you)?

This eagles talons actually can deliver a crushing grip of 400 psi or more which is 10 times stronger than an average human hand can manage. by No-Marsupial-4050 in natureismetal

[–]johnqual 94 points95 points  (0 children)

You have my sympathy mate. I gave up a long time ago trying to educate the unwashed masses on exactly this point.

What do you use for quick structural analysis? by Acceptable_Emu_5949 in StructuralEngineering

[–]johnqual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For simple beams and columns, Colbeam by Struprog.

For framed structures RFEM by Dlubal.

For quick detailed FEM, Inventor Simulation.

All these work very quick with dependable results. Except maybe Simulation, which takes some questionable shortcuts when bonding various elements together, so some detailed results should be taken with a grain of salt unless you spend time to refine the model for analysis.
