<0> if he was buying for his own use thats different
<1> spathi; drives updates?
<1> hmm?
<2> well, he's one example, but I know others who got tax bills for upwards of $1,000 and all they were doing was trying to save money by buying online
<1> spathi: you mean Windows Updates ?
<3> nerp: $60 per carton?
<3> You're ****ting me.
<4> http://www.fabulous-homes.com/gold/
<3> That's nuts.
<2> fdiv - nope.
<3> Down here they're $25.
<2> cigs are $6, pack here
<0> nope hes not ****ting you
<2> ri has the higest cig tax in the country.
<2> and they're about to raise it again
<3> That is idiotic.
<0> they are bout 5 to 6 here also
<5> it's $8 in manhattan
<1> yeah, california, $5/pack seems standard now. glad I quit
<2> dude, a pack of rolling papers is $5.50
<0> in NYC ive seen them $7 +
<5> $8
<0> lol i was cose pxy i havent brought smoke in nyc since last fall
<2> fdiv - its not just cigarettes that are expensive here. :D
<2> _everything_ is wicked expensive.
<2> hell, a SMALL coffee from dunkin donuts -- in the paper cup -- is $1.95
<3> nerp: At $5.50 for a pack of rolling papers I'd recommend investing in a good pipe and/or bong. :P
<0> yeah i need to quit i am starting to notice the health effects
<2> get a mocha latte at starbucks - $5.75
<6> if a drive is DVD+-RW does that mean it supports most DVD formats?
<0> yeah nice gl*** pipe all the way
<3> GaiusBalt: Yes.
<7> all of em!
<2> GaiusBalt - yhea, any new burner can do most any format now.
<3> nerp: That's insane, dude.
<2> fdiv - well wealthy new england seaside community. . .
<6> okay cool
<2> the pros = hot babes, miles of beach, great weather in the summer, lovely architecture, unspoiled nature, tons of open space. . .
<2> the cons = $$$$$$$$
<3> nerp: **** a bunch of living there, though. I couldn't afford it.
<2> Well the jobs tend to pay more.
<2> but yes it's tough.
<2> most people under 30 can't make ends meet here unless they have very good jobs.
<2> around here, $40,000 is poverty.
<2> hell, a 2bdr condo sells for $550,000 for starters
<2> renting a 1bdr apt? $1,500. easily. utilities NOT included.
<2> and expect to pay $100/mo for electric.
<2> they riased rates about 40 percent in the last year
<5> i pay nearly $200/mo for electricity
<2> yeah but you probably have a lot of stuff running
<3> I pay about $60 a month for electricity, but about $150 a month for gas. :\
<2> around here $100 is like, the base charge. :D
<5> refridge, a comp, two laptops, tv...
<5> and electric heat
<2> home heating oil here is going for $2.40 / gal
<2> electirc heat is what kills ya poxy.
<3> Jesus.
<5> it's $0.14/kwh
<6> wow, spend the money on a few sweaters
<5> like $0.12 offpeak
<2> when I was traveling cross country the biggest difference I saw was how dirt cheap the rest of the country is compared to here
<3> According to this cost of living comparison tool, I'd have to make $66,667 to maintain my same quality of life as I do here with $45,900.
<2> even for basic goods and stuff.
<1> fdiv_bug; ut I bet most skilled jobs pay proprootionally more
<2> If I lived in say, texas, with my salary, i'd be feeling mighty wealthy.
<3> peerce: Possibly close to, but that's still a big jump.
<1> of course, if you lived in texas and did the samme thing, you'd be making less
<2> I'd probably have a motorcycle, bought a house, etc.
<2> true.
<2> I might be making $55,000 here but in texas reporters get like $20,000 to start haha
<2> i've looked at the job listings. :D
<1> well, I'm here at the internet espresso place, havinig finished my $5 triple-espresso & bagel+creamcheese. should I go to work, or should I drive up to Summit and take pictures of the snow? :D
<2> haha
<8> snow
<2> peerce - cost of living where you're at sounds almost identical
<1> or just have another espresso.
<2> i'm in my office, ready to go sit on the sea wall and enjoy the mild weather and smoke a joint
<2> i might go get an espresso too
<1> thats $5 for the espresso AND the bagel (and it was a real bagel, not one fot hsose crappy supermarrket ones)
<2> it's neat there is snow in the dunes from the last storm and it's almost 60F out
<2> so the dunes are steaming. :D
<1> new york style boiled bagel
<5> i'd be too
<5> ...boiled?
<1> crusty
<2> lotta cute girls in shorts jogging and walking their dogs too
<1> bagels are boiled before they are baked
<5> they call 'em bagels here ;P
<2> peerce -good bagels.
<2> good bagels come parbaked too
<1> yeah, a real one as opposed to those doughy fake things like noahs makes
<2> so you finish them in the oven with gentle brushing of water as they bake
<1> we've got a good bagelry here
<2> yeah there are a lot of good bagel shops around here
<1> guys learned in NYC then came home
<2> yep
<2> exactly
<1> west coast, sigh, Noahs has taken over most areas, they are as bad as starbucks
<8> nerp i know what you need
<8> a puppy
<1> noahs bagels aren't even kosher anymore
<2> gimp - i was thinkin about it. :D
<5> peerce: HEH
<2> anyway off to lunch. back later. :D
<8> puppies got mad pull
<1> [not that I care about that, but its the principle]
<9> can you parbake a puppy though?
<5> i could
<5> and would
<5> i hate puppies
<9> now that's just mean.
<10> I **** puppies
<8> i **** rabbits
<8> wanna trade videos?
<9> puppies are cute. they grow up to be dogs, which is usually cool. now babies on the other hand. they all look the same, and most of 'em grow up to be ***holes.
<3> I hate dogs.
<11> But you love ***holes.
<11> The irony!
<12> anyone seen samoa speak lately?
<11> The old codger never shuts up.
<3> Maybe.
<3> Who wants to know?
<12> i would like to speak to him
<3> "Hey, Johnny Tight-Lips, did you see who shot us?" "I see a lotta `tings."
<3> sAMOa: You've got a guest.
<3> Wake up.
<3> Lazy Californians.
<12> hes just very old
<11> Maybe he's out skragging.
<8> werd
<12> needs a jump start
<3> Skroffing?
<3> Skrupping.
<3> Skooping.
<9> skacking off?
<11> Skranking.
<3> Skanking.
<12> or maybe one of you guys may know...any of u use swish for flash stuff?
<11> STANKING
<8> 2 hours to learning 4 fdiv
<3> Gimp-Work: Good on ya!
<8> i'm going to see the actual time reduction amounts
<8> and see if it's worth pursueing
<13> ahh
<8> -e
<9> "swish" is pretty gay-sounding. i vote we wait for sAMOa to weigh in on this one.
<3> 7 hours, 7 minutes `til Spaceship Command III.
<9> the hell is spaceship command III?
<8> i could have it in 4 hours
<3> pizza_biz: It's a skill in EVE Online.
