| 03:42.27 | TodPunk | hi |
| 03:43.33 | magecca | How is Utah? |
| 03:44.16 | TodPunk | Dry. Hot. Techy. Cheap. |
| 03:44.41 | magecca | Cheap? |
| 03:45.28 | TodPunk | Housing, cost of living, some luxuries are pretty cheap here, etc |
| 03:47.29 | shalkie | notes he TodPunk didn't say all luxuries |

| 03:54.28 | magecca | I've lived here for a while |
| 03:54.35 | magecca | I don't think it's cheap |
| 03:54.42 | keldwud | really? |
| 03:54.43 | inovent | @magecca Are you from Clinton? |
| 03:54.43 | magecca | And yes you do |
| 03:54.48 | magecca | You also like fuel stations |
| 03:54.52 | keldwud | what metro are you from that is cheaper? |
| 03:55.05 | magecca | And "dirty" soda |

| 03:55.52 | magecca | In the more rural areas, yes |
| 03:56.03 | inovent | Seems to be what I notice the most when I travel away and return.. |
| 03:56.07 | magecca | Otherwise mini-vans and other unnessary SUVs |
| 03:57.55 | inovent | That must mean you drive a civic. :) |
| 03:58.47 | RyanE | I find it unlikely that Portland or Seattle is cheaper for pretty much anything (rent/housing, food, fuel) |
| 03:59.06 | keldwud | I do too, but I was too lazy to look shit up to back up my claim |
| 03:59.37 | RyanE | heh... first google quick search when you type 'cost of living portland... it autocompletes vs. salt lake city... :) |
| 03:59.45 | RyanE | 14% more expensive than SLC. |
| 04:00.01 | magecca | I drive a FRS |
| 04:00.12 | keldwud | RyanE, that can't be. |
| 04:00.20 | keldwud | magecca, says differently :) |
| 04:00.29 | RyanE | Seattle is 24% higher cost of living than SLC |
| 04:00.48 | keldwud | maybe he meant tacoma |
| 04:00.50 | keldwud | and not seattle |

| 04:01.38 | magecca | I don't trust the internet |
| 04:02.11 | RyanE | yeah, good luck with that. |
| 04:02.27 | RyanE | Didn't steer me wrong on a damn fine Pao de Queijo recipe. |

| 04:06.43 | TodPunk | I can attest first hand that both Portland and Seattle are 50-80% more expensive than SLC |
| 04:06.55 | TodPunk | Utah Valley is cheaper still, of course, but not a huge amount |
| 04:06.59 | RyanE | well, they were when we went there on vacation this summer... :) |
| 04:07.06 | RyanE | but you can't compare hotel living with home. |
| 04:07.56 | TodPunk | I wanted to move to Seattle. Pricing of housing was about twice what I could get in Orem equivalently but if I ventured to suburbs it was a bit better |
| 04:09.29 | TodPunk | I know Seattle's public transit is far more affordable than Utah's |
| 04:09.47 | TodPunk | it's a bit more tightly bound a problem though, so I will git UTA a bit of slack. Not much, but a bit. |
| 04:09.56 | magecca | I consider Tacoma and surrouning areas or Seattle like Layton to SLC |
| 04:10.02 | magecca | Pretty much the same place |
| 04:10.07 | magecca | And yes, less pricey |
| 04:10.37 | TodPunk | I'm not outdoorsy, but I hear Utah is great for hikes and offroading and stuff |
| 04:10.37 | magecca | The light rail is cheaper there |
| 04:10.52 | TodPunk | Just about everything is cheaper than the frontrunner |
| 04:10.58 | magecca | Way better outdoor activities in Oregon and Washington |
| 04:11.06 | magecca | Ocean |
| 04:11.09 | magecca | Rain forest |
| 04:11.12 | magecca | mountains |
| 04:11.16 | magecca | better weather |
| 04:11.17 | TodPunk | Driving an SUV on your own is cheaper than frontrunner |
| 04:11.21 | magecca | better IT jobs |
| 04:11.42 | TodPunk | no, dude, "better outdoors" is just a matter of what you want to do outdoors |
| 04:11.54 | magecca | You must consider the higher salary level over housing there |
| 04:11.58 | TodPunk | if you want to go to the beach, that's different than hiking a mountain. Neither are better outside each other |
| 04:12.11 | RyanE | magecca: nope, I don't. :) |
| 04:12.15 | magecca | Higher wages there with higher housing costs but higher wages out weigh the living costs |
| 04:12.22 | magecca | Making it dun dun cheaper |
| 04:12.33 | TodPunk | You know I can do math, right? |
| 04:12.54 | TodPunk | Like, cost of living percentage differences vs wage I would have to make is an easy calculation |
| 04:12.57 | magecca | You ever hike through the national forest at Port Townsend/Port Angeles? |
| 04:13.10 | TodPunk | and I DID that calculation when I wanted to move to Seattle |
| 04:13.29 | TodPunk | I'd basically be taking a slight pay cut to work at MS, even though I'd make 40K more |
| 04:14.09 | TodPunk | no, I don't want to hike. I said I'm not outdoorsy. I lived in San Diego for a while though, so if we want to talk about outdoors... Seattle's still going to lose there to me. |
| 04:14.13 | magecca | There are a wide variety of housing options in different ranges |
| 04:14.37 | TodPunk | that's true anywhere |
| 04:14.40 | magecca | Utah's forest does not compare |
| 04:14.47 | magecca | We don't really have forests |
| 04:14.55 | TodPunk | We do in northeast |
| 04:16.00 | keldwud | I only spend $200 per year on UTA |
| 04:16.03 | TodPunk | I feel like you're just trolling. Like, if you want to just like Seattle, well, fucking move to Seattle. I'd follow, if it was economically viable to my particular situation, but it's not. If you wanted to know why people choose to live in Utah, in general, well, you have that info now. Cheers. |
| 04:16.09 | keldwud | that gives me unlimited rides on anything |
| 04:16.12 | keldwud | including front runner |
| 04:16.35 | TodPunk | keldwud: are you getting a discount or something on that? |
| 04:16.38 | keldwud | yeah :) |
| 04:16.39 | keldwud | work |
| 04:16.47 | TodPunk | pfft |
| 04:16.49 | keldwud | and university passes are cheap, too |
| 04:16.58 | keldwud | and my daughter got a summer pass for like 90 bucks |
| 04:16.59 | TodPunk | I get no such pass on that |
| 04:17.03 | keldwud | for three months of unlimited |
| 04:17.05 | RyanE | Utah has more national parks as Washington and Oregon *combined*. |
| 04:17.14 | keldwud | ^ |
| 04:17.17 | keldwud | we have five national parks |
| 04:17.22 | keldwud | and countless state parks |
| 04:17.24 | TodPunk | RyanE: but, but... muh forests! |
| 04:17.36 | RyanE | heh. got more forests than you can shake a stick at. |
| 04:17.43 | keldwud | we also have quite a progressive metropolitan |
| 04:17.44 | RyanE | but fewer trees than WA/OR. :| |
| 04:17.47 | keldwud | politically |
| 04:18.00 | keldwud | we have the sundance film festival |
| 04:18.07 | keldwud | we have a bunch of artists |
| 04:18.08 | magecca | Someone said it was cheap |
| 04:18.12 | magecca | I disagreed |
| 04:18.12 | TodPunk | I just like the tech scene here |
| 04:18.12 | keldwud | it is also cheap, yes |
| 04:18.19 | keldwud | tech scene is huge here |
| 04:18.34 | magecca | I also disagree with that |
| 04:18.35 | RyanE | for some definition of "huge" |
| 04:18.38 | keldwud | also, utah was a part of internet and tech history |
| 04:18.46 | RyanE | as was Seattle |
| 04:18.50 | magecca | I think people think that |
| 04:18.56 | TodPunk | it's less corporate at the moment than the big names in Seattle or SV |
| 04:19.21 | keldwud | university of utah contributed a bit to help push forward technology |
| 04:19.23 | TodPunk | that has pros and cons I think, but I like it more personally |
| 04:19.38 | RyanE | I'm guessing the biggest win for Utah is if you like Skiing. I don't think the skiing in the northwest compares. |
| 04:19.42 | TodPunk | UofU was one of the originals, yeah |
| 04:20.05 | TodPunk | they still have one of the best CS programs in the country, too |
| 04:20.28 | keldwud | ^ |
| 04:20.28 | magecca | And I have no interest in snow sports |
| 04:20.29 | magecca | If I could move to Seattle, I would |
| 04:20.51 | magecca | If I could move to Washington coast, I would |
| 04:20.53 | TodPunk | keldwud: did your kid make it to the library and back? |
| 04:20.55 | RyanE | well, since you can't, feel free to bitch about it... :) |
| 04:20.59 | RyanE | j/k |
| 04:21.06 | magecca | But I cannot because I bought a house in Utah that is worth nothing now |
| 04:22.32 | keldwud | EMC, Adobe, Ebay, Novell/Wordperfect, C7, NSA DataCenter, Caldera, Omniture, Micron, Workday |
| 04:22.47 | keldwud | TodPunk, nope. she got abducted. |
| 04:22.58 | RyanE | heh. I sure hope you're kidding. :) |
| 04:22.59 | keldwud | that's what I get for letting her walk to the library unattended |
| 04:23.03 | keldwud | I am :) |
| 04:23.18 | TodPunk | so yes, then, good |
| 04:23.22 | keldwud | also, utah county has half the crime rate of the country's average |
| 04:23.35 | keldwud | when it comes to the violent crimes |
| 04:23.53 | keldwud | that includes burglary, rape, homicide, assault, etc. |
| 04:24.00 | TodPunk | Payson doesn't count there, I guess |
| 04:24.06 | RyanE | ha! |
| 04:24.06 | keldwud | I have data that I can use to back up my claims for days |
| 04:24.17 | keldwud | I think you're just sharing a subjective opinion, magecca |
| 04:24.36 | keldwud | and that makes it difficult to discuss because that means you will be less likely to accept evidence that contradicts your opinion |
| 04:24.53 | keldwud | I could also talk about cleanliness of our streets |
| 04:24.58 | keldwud | and the budget of salt lake |
| 04:25.05 | keldwud | how we run in surplus |
| 04:25.08 | RyanE | and year round sun |
| 04:25.13 | TodPunk | keldwud: no seriously, he's just trolling, he's fine to ignore |
| 04:25.24 | keldwud | well I figured as much from his first two statements :) |
| 04:25.40 | keldwud | hurr durr, let's go into a state channel and then make fun of that state |
| 04:26.10 | keldwud | I also understand some people have a hard-on for utah because they feel affronted by it or something |
| 04:26.35 | TodPunk | I like to give people the benefit of the doubt until they simply ignore what you're saying. I'm fine with arguing, but if you're just going to act like someone can't do basic math after they do said math, well, ok |
| 04:26.48 | *** join/#utah magecca (~magecca@ns1.magecca.com) |
| 04:26.50 | keldwud | that happened to me yesterday :( |
| 04:27.09 | TodPunk | you couldn't do basic math, or you got trolled? |
| 04:27.21 | keldwud | lol the second |
| 04:28.00 | keldwud | unfortunately it was with one of my friends and I don't think he was intentionally trolling me, he was just straight up ignoring evidence and kept moving the goal posts |
| 04:28.07 | TodPunk | I worked with a guy who was superstitious as hell about random things, like he thought he couldn't do math if it was raining |
| 04:28.16 | TodPunk | janderson can attest to this |
| 04:28.23 | keldwud | and then demanding that I defend my original position after he kept taking away my evidence |
| 04:28.32 | keldwud | so I asked him politely to just move on |
| 04:28.36 | keldwud | and he kept harping on it |
| 04:28.42 | keldwud | and I kept begging to just let it go |
| 04:28.52 | keldwud | made me have second thoughts about my friendship with him |
| 04:28.55 | TodPunk | In person? |
| 04:28.59 | keldwud | no, online |
| 04:29.29 | keldwud | but he never once presented evidence, just kept setting up false dichotomies |
| 04:29.31 | TodPunk | Just say, "nah, I'm done" and then ignore further requests. Doesn't matter how they feel about it at that point. |
| 04:29.34 | keldwud | and strawmen |
| 04:29.56 | keldwud | the topic was a parenting topic so I understand why he got that way |
| 04:30.11 | keldwud | ironically I was discussing it with another friend just a few minutes beforehand where I told him how people react |
| 04:30.21 | keldwud | and then my buddy came into the room and reacted exactly how I predicted |
| 04:30.27 | keldwud | and went through all the stages I described |
| 04:30.51 | keldwud | people love their t.v. too much to just accept hearing anything negative about how it affects early childhood development |
| 04:31.13 | keldwud | people start acting like anti-vaxxers when you start showing them the evidence |
| 04:31.24 | TodPunk | They do that in anything |
| 04:31.32 | keldwud | I know :( |
| 04:31.37 | keldwud | it makes me feel sad |
| 04:31.38 | TodPunk | like, evidence doesn't actually convince people of anything |
| 04:31.47 | keldwud | I'm so bad at appealing to emotions |
| 04:31.49 | keldwud | I wish I knew how |
| 04:31.58 | TodPunk | No man |
| 04:32.14 | TodPunk | Being good at that is being manipulative. You can't win either way. |
| 04:33.09 | TodPunk | you just have to decide what you want out of a conversation or whatnot, see if you can offer up what you think you need to give, and see if it comes out positive as possible |
| 04:33.37 | keldwud | yeah, that's what I told my buddy when we got to that point |
| 04:33.40 | TodPunk | if it can be win-win for everyone, that's good, but if not, it's just better to take what you need or just leave it on the floor |
| 04:33.50 | keldwud | I said 'listen, this is no longer productive for anyone involved" |
| 04:34.20 | keldwud | so I'm going to LinuxCon next week! |
| 04:34.22 | keldwud | so excited |
| 04:34.27 | keldwud | check out the topics |
| 04:35.05 | keldwud | http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-north-america/program/schedule |
| 04:35.16 | keldwud | I'm mostly there for the container talks |
| 04:35.29 | keldwud | since my product is dependent upon containers |
| 04:35.39 | keldwud | anybody else going? |
| 04:35.54 | keldwud | there's a lot of exciting stuff going on there |
| 04:36.19 | TodPunk | left the sysadmin track a long time ago |
| 04:36.29 | keldwud | they have a developer track |
| 04:36.33 | *** part/#utah magecca (~magecca@ns1.magecca.com) |
| 04:36.53 | TodPunk | geeking out about filesystems and kernel patches and systemd is frustrating as hell |
| 04:37.09 | keldwud | oh god that stuff gets me goin |
| 04:37.30 | keldwud | here's one "A Peek at PHP 7" |
| 04:37.47 | TodPunk | a linux development track is probably the most useless thing I can think of. In the linux world, you train yourself to hack on things in the community or whatnot, or nobody is going to hire you to do linux dev anyway |
| 04:38.03 | TodPunk | or you're doing sysadmin "dev" I guess |
| 04:39.14 | TodPunk | I know how to do kernel modules and such, mind you, but I'd prefer to stay out of that if I'm not doing embedded work |
| 04:40.27 | TodPunk | keldwud: PHP dev on average is very low pay comparatively |
| 04:41.01 | TodPunk | too many high school graduates thought of as hot devs for some reason. Not sure how that happened. |
| 04:41.25 | TodPunk | You can, of course, find jobs doing PHP for good pay, but you have to sift |
| 04:41.55 | TodPunk | Python, Java, Ruby are the kings of the day at the moment. Lua in certain unrelated niches. |
| 04:42.06 | TodPunk | Scala is getting bigger though |
| 04:42.14 | TodPunk | Some Node |
| 04:42.27 | TodPunk | Javascript on the front-end suffers similarly, I think |
| 04:42.52 | TodPunk | I just haven't looked at the salary data on that one |
| 04:42.59 | TodPunk | So that's a gut feeling =cP |
| 04:47.12 | TodPunk | sleeps |
| 04:48.06 | keldwud | later |
| 05:10.27 | inovent | keldwud is your name kewldud like "kool dude".. that's what I think when I see your name.. |
| 05:20.02 | keldwud | .l |
| 05:20.08 | keldwud | nope |
| 05:20.12 | keldwud | it's lkie keld |
| 05:20.32 | keldwud | keld is a deep still part of a river; or a fountain / spring |
| 05:20.39 | keldwud | wud is chiefly scot for insane or mad |
| 05:21.42 | inovent | oh :) |
| 05:21.59 | keldwud | I put some thought into finding a unique identifier, I wanted it to actually mean something |
| 05:22.09 | keldwud | wud is pronounced brood |
| 05:22.23 | keldwud | and keld is as it appears |
| 05:22.35 | inovent | Yeah, I was suspecting it was pronounced "Keld Wood" |
| 05:22.44 | keldwud | but I get the kewl dude thing a lot |
| 05:23.10 | keldwud | I also decided that even though it is a proper noun, it will always be lowercase |
| 05:23.19 | keldwud | that's the rebel in me |
| 05:23.22 | keldwud | :) |
| 05:23.47 | inovent | ghoti |
| 05:25.10 | inovent | my favourite English "rebellion" |
| 05:25.10 | inovent | https://www.englishclub.com/esl-articles/199909.htm |
| 05:26.00 | inovent | and since I like the English spelling of favorite.. d:D |

| 05:41.25 | bregalad | inovent: I like ithkuil |
| 05:41.44 | bregalad | or maybe that's a thing I say sometimes so that people think I'm cool |
| 06:23.18 | inovent | ithkuil? |
| 06:24.18 | inovent | Interesting. I have heard of Lojban, but not Ithkuil. |

| 16:24.22 | romanovic | wow, that pacific northwest vs utah discussion ran late |
| 16:26.24 | Jayce^ | scrolls back |
| 16:26.32 | Jayce^ | dang, could have participated on that one... |
| 16:26.35 | romanovic | I miss Seattle, so pretty. I love the weather too, but I asked my wife on a couple of occasions if she would mind moving there... she needs more sun |
| 16:26.38 | Jayce^ | ex seattlite in UT now |
| 16:27.11 | Jayce^ | I *love* living west of seattle.. but I just can't stand the people there anymore |
| 16:28.36 | romanovic | also, now that we have a family, the wage/housing advantage in northern Utah makes this a great place to live, even though I would like to live somewhere wetter and greener someday |
| 16:29.11 | romanovic | especially with the tech company availability here. I feel like I will never lack for work that will provide an awesome quality of life on a single income |
| 16:29.14 | romanovic | in Utah |
| 16:49.41 | RyanE | Well, this summer, Seattle was *not* wetter and greener... We went there thinking we'd escape Utah's heat. Seattle was all dry, brown grass and 95+ degree weather *with humidity*. |
| 16:50.26 | RyanE | Seattle's driest spell in 120 years. |
| 16:52.23 | RyanE | Then I thought I'd go to scout camp for some warm, dry Utah summer. Rained all week, one morning was 32 degrees... |

| 16:58.17 | levi | inovent: What about China and their currency? |
| 16:58.24 | RyanE | They devalued their own currency to try and keep us buying their crap, which was becoming not as cheap. I am not a financial analyst. |
| 16:58.25 | Jayce^ | devaluation |
| 16:58.37 | inovent | Yeah, that. |
| 16:58.38 | Jayce^ | and prevent anybody there from importing stuff |
| 16:59.10 | Jayce^ | keeps their reserve statuses higher, easier to play games, and keep employment numbers |

| 17:02.36 | RyanE | that would be hilarious. Everyone bring your bills by the treasury, we've got some scissors. |
| 17:03.01 | Jayce^ | in BR the coins sure got smaller :) |
| 17:03.41 | levi | No, I think they're pretty much the same size. Just more worthless! |
| 17:05.22 | inovent | Yeah, Brazilian coins get really small.. |
| 17:06.01 | inovent | How come the dime is smaller than the penny? |

| 18:05.44 | inovent | I get nervous thinking about the motives of why China devalued its currency & what it means if the nation doesn't continue to make better choices to be self-sustaining.. |
| 18:09.20 | inovent | I don't know all of the facts, but it seems like China continues to draw in jobs from other nations and it seems like we lose out when a U.S. business decides to do that for financial reasons.. |

| 18:10.26 | Tod-Work | "lose out" is unnecessarily fatalist. It doesn't matter too much unless China's economy prevents them from doing things like producing. Prices fluctuate everywhere all the time. |
