    Alternating hot and cold can actually be good.

    It’s invigorating. - Have you never jumped from a hottub into a cold pool or vice versa?

    I believe it can also help with soreness.

      I can make it better by changing it to Heart and Soul by Huey Lewis and the News. Which does contain the lyric, “She’s hot and cold” but also contains the lyric, “hot lovin’ every night,” and so is infinitely better.

            I never quite got this monologue. I think the idea was that the character was reciting someone else’s review of these musicians, as if it were his own sophisticated take. But in what world is Huey Lewis at all bitter and cynical especially compared to Elvis Costello?

              Patrick and his clique are a bunch of superficial morons who have no idea what they’re talking about a lot of the time. They blindly follow popular trends, do what everyone else does and say what everyone else says. They have no personal opinions and are too shallow to form any. Guy probably sat down and wrote that “analysis” by imitating other people’s reviews of other media, and then memorized it to recite at people. The discussion they have at that dinner is like that too. They’re just regurgitating rehearsed and memorized statements about some social issues they clearly know nothing about and don’t care at all.

              Legionella just entered the chat. If your hot water isn’t hot enough you might be breeding them in your water lines and aerosolizng with your shower head.

              I’d think Legionella is a lot less of a problem with suicide showers.

            It sounds scary, but there’s no direct path to the electricity since there is no laminar flow between you and the showerhead and most of the water that is passing over the showerhead is not especially electrically conductive because there are no salts mixed into it that don’t come directly from the water plant.

            It has to actually have a mechanical fault that doesn’t cause the shower heater to stop working and you have to come physically into contact with the shower head while that fault is going on in order for you to get zapped.

            But it is possible for you to get zapped by them, and some people have died, I am sure, although I don’t personally have any proof.

                The ones I have seen are.

                I feel it would be rather dumb to hold a 240 volt appliance directly in your hand.

                That being said, there might be shower nozzle attachment things, but I don’t actually know. It’s just a supposition.

    I was in a band called Extreme Sensory Hell Shower.

    We randomly switched between German Schlager, Doom Metal, Muzak, Swing, Acid Jazz, Reggae, Polka, Latin Dance, Bluegrass, and Hard House WITHIN tracks to make sure that nobody was ever having a positive experience for more than a few seconds at a time.

    And no, we weren’t especially proficient or even enthusiastic about any of the genres.
