| m0unds | gizmoguy: http://www.stonebrewing.com/burningrosids/ this is really good | [19:35] |
| gizmoguy | sad story :(
but in happier news, I booked flights to LAX for next year doing a pub crawl around SFO | [19:40] |
| m0unds | yeah
awesome gonna fly from lax to sfo? or drive? | [19:41] |
| gizmoguy | not sure yet | [19:42] |
| m0unds | san fransisco is a neat city, haven't been there in a long time
the drive from LA to SF is pretty nice too, but long (6hrs or so without traffic) | [19:44] |
| brycec | (and 8 if you take the scenic route...) | [19:52] |
| m0unds | yeah, coastal route is prettier | [19:52] |
| brycec | (scenic == ^I5)
I drove SEA-LAX (and back) last year, loooong drive | [19:52] |
| m0unds | eek
my friend rode his motorcycle from vancouver, wa to irvine, ca to albuquerque to salt lake city back to vancouver last year | [19:54] |
| brycec | It wasn't so bad, had a friend co-driving | [19:56] |
| m0unds | 3000-someodd miles | [19:56] |
| brycec | 1,100 each way
or 1200 depending on route Good times were had | [19:56] |
| m0unds | did you just burn straight through it or stop to do stuff along the way? | [19:56] |
| brycec | And it was cool having someone else with me to drive. I'd never pushed my car for so long.
Only stops were for gas And food | [19:57] |
| m0unds | oof
i hate doing more than ~500-600mi/day, haha | [19:57] |
| brycec | Other than that, the car ran and drove for 20-ish hours, I was proud of it :D | [19:57] |
| m0unds | nice | [19:57] |
| brycec | Yeah same here. When I moved from AZ to WA, it was three days of driving because I can't drive more than 500-800 without my knee locking up and being very, very painful
Plus staying awake and such | [19:58] |
| m0unds | yeah, i can't stretch my legs enough in the car (i'm 6'4) so it gets really uncomfortable after about 8 hrs in the car
my truck isn't as bad, but it's still not comfortable past about 8 hrs | [19:59] |
| brycec | With cruise control, I can find various positions for me legs. But staying alert is a whole other ballgame | [19:59] |
| m0unds | yeah, and caffiene + fatigue from driving is just all sorts of fun | [20:00] |
| brycec | Caffeine has limited effect on me. Mostly it ends up killing time with frequent rest stops | [20:01] |
| gizmoguy | pfft 6 hours is a short drive
gizmoguy lives in a country where 8 hour drives aren't that strange | [20:06] |
| brycec | gizmoguy: You have better scenery I'm betting :PO
* :P | [20:07] |
| gizmoguy | yeah for sure | [20:07] |
| m0unds | haha
one of our breweries won best small brewery in the us at GABF | [20:08] |
| BryceBot | That's what she said!! | [20:09] |
| brycec | While we're off-topic... When defusing/disarming a bomb using C4, why can't one simply pull the blasting caps out of the C4? | [20:09] |
| m0unds | not as dramatic | [20:09] |
| gizmoguy | also i'm in our beer capital this week for work | [20:09] |
| m0unds | nice | [20:09] |
| brycec | nice | [20:09] |
| gizmoguy | I've managed 1 out of 1 night this week drinking
aiming for 5 | [20:09] |
| m0unds | haha
i did a sort of brewery tour while i was up in durango at the end of last week, lots of good beer there too | [20:10] |

| mercutio | gizmoguy: beer capital? | [20:50] |
| m0unds | one of my fav bands has a new album coming out - they're from napier | [20:51] |
| mercutio | gizmoguy: is that the normal capital? | [20:51] |
| gizmoguy | mercutio: wellington | [21:01] |
| mercutio | nelson has a lot of beer..
but i thought you'd have more reason to be in wellington. | [21:01] |
| gizmoguy | there's 2 new craft beer bars since I last was here
I was last here in August | [21:02] |
| mercutio | sounds hip. | [21:02] |
| m0unds | do you guys get imports, or is it mostly local/domestic? | [21:02] |
| mercutio | most beer in nz seems to be brewed in nz.
even international beers. craft may be a bit different though. i don't drink craft beer. :) my beer all seems to come from auckland. | [21:03] |
| gizmoguy | mercutio: http://www.hashigozake.co.nz/beerlist.html
here's a good overview of what I have to drink | [21:04] |
| m0unds | cult beer bar, haha | [21:05] |
| mercutio | yeah i haven't tried any of them
i've been getting into mac's ginger beer :) | [21:05] |
| m0unds | ahhh, mikkeller stuff is good
hard to find here | [21:05] |
| mercutio | these are all pretty expensive :) | [21:07] |
| m0unds | yeah they are, geez | [21:08] |
| mercutio | the cheapest is $7.50 for one bottle 300ml.
and normal bottles are 330ml. | [21:09] |
| m0unds | la chouffe is good | [21:10] |
| mercutio | and $12. | [21:10] |
| m0unds | that's close to what i'd spend for a 750ml bottle here in the us | [21:10] |
| mercutio | US $0.8 to NZ $1 atm
approx | [21:10] |
| m0unds | yeah, it's about $9 here | [21:10] |
| mercutio | and our alcohol is heavily taxed | [21:10] |
| m0unds | chimay red, price is on par
ouch any type of alcohol, or just spirits? | [21:11] |
| mercutio | all alcohol.
it's about 60% i think oh what it's lower than that it's only 10% for beer and 38% for spirits apparently. that makes no sense, because when it went up, things went up by like 10% $25.476 per litre of alcohol hmm | [21:11] |
| m0unds | ah | [21:14] |
| mercutio | $46.400 per litre of alcohol for spirits | [21:14] |
| m0unds | that's a bummer | [21:14] |
| mercutio | so 40% vodka, a litre is like $46/2.5
$18.40 | [21:14] |
| m0unds | i think there's probably taxation built into liquor sales here, but i have no idea what it'd be | [21:14] |
| mercutio | and it's about $40
maybe a bit more | [21:15] |
| m0unds | ouch | [21:15] |
| mercutio | there's also gst at 15%
so it's probably about half the cost in taxes. | [21:15] |
| m0unds | awful, haha
craft beer drinking at breweries in durango, co last week and my most expensive pint was $4 | [21:15] |
| mercutio | that sounds ok.
i hardly drink anymore anyway. | [21:16] |
| m0unds | http://brewpubkitchen.com/ this place was good | [21:17] |
| mercutio | so i suppose it doesn't matter that much spending a little more.
and it's amazing how much tolerance goes down. | [21:17] |
| m0unds | yeah, haha | [21:17] |
| brycec | FYI BryceBot can convert currencies ;D | [21:17] |
| mercutio | i can feel a single beer these days. | [21:17] |
| brycec | @exch 1 NZD USD | [21:17] |

| mercutio | you don't need more than two places :) | [21:17] |
| BryceBot | That's what she said!! | [21:17] |
| m0unds | http://carverbrewing.com/brewery.html this place was good too; their barrel aged amber tasted like nila wafers
hahaha | [21:18] |
| brycec | mercutio: Actually in currency trading, you do :P | [21:18] |
| m0unds | @exchg 31.50 NZD USD | [21:18] |
| mercutio | i looked at house prices in the US before.. some places are really cheap.. some are more edxpensive than nz though. | [21:18] |
| m0unds | oh, it doesn't calculate, just base? | [21:18] |
| mercutio | in trading you might, but not on irc :) | [21:18] |
| brycec | m0unds: or you failed at typing | [21:18] |
| m0unds | oh, g
@exch 31.50 NZD USD | [21:18] |

| BryceBot | 4 USD -> 5.128712 NZD (as of Mon, 06 Oct 2014 21:00:41 -0700) | [21:19] |
| brycec | because why not | [21:19] |
| mercutio | bryce: to make it easier to read :)
otherwise you have to calculate that 5.128 is 5.13 | [21:19] |
| m0unds | @exch 211000 USD NZD | [21:19] |
| brycec | meh, plenty easy imo | [21:19] |

| brycec | US housing prices, like many places, vary wildly depending on where you are. A simple single-family residence will typically range from 50k to 500k | [21:20] |
| m0unds | yea ^ that's my home value
but same thing in ca would probably be half a million | [21:20] |
| mercutio | m0unds: yteh that's real cheap compared to here | [21:21] |
| m0unds | 2100 sq ft, quarter acre lot, built in mid 2000s
we bought it as a foreclosure in 2010 for $147500 super low price for the area too probably the only reason we bought in abq, otherwise we mighta ended up in CO | [21:21] |
| mercutio | median value is around $740,000 nzd

| m0unds | ouch | [21:23] |
| mercutio | it's gone up heaps
in 2010 it was more like $540,000 | [21:23] |
| m0unds | wow | [21:23] |
| mercutio | hmm all the schools near my house are decile 10 for schools, which is the ranking they use to decide how much money the government gives to schools.
so it's a "higher wealth" area. where decile 1 is lowest. it generally means that public schools have less resources and ask people to donate stuff etc. a friend lives somewhere with decile 1 and 2 schools, and average value there is $330,000 @exch 330000 nzd to usd | [21:24] |
| BryceBot | 330000 NZD -> 257374.56109838 USD (as of Mon, 06 Oct 2014 21:00:41 -0700) | [21:26] |
| mercutio | and that's in a cheaper city too.
so yeah, your house is real cheap.. :) | [21:26] |
