        does the bear pope take catholic shits in the woods?
      • anyway
      • yeah XD
      • ruaok
        though I guess we need the more esoteric stuff.
      • because .dk has loads of interesting chocolate.
      • I bet.

        at the chicago one we mostly ate the plain Milka, IIRC, but :P
      • Freso
        We have a fair amount.
      • ruaok
        choocloate with herring, no?
      • Freso
        But it's also dirt expensive.
      • ruaok: Probably, though I wouldn't know where to get it. :D
      • ruaok
        dirt cheap, or expensive like your mom, Freso ?
      • ruaok runs even further away
      • Freso
        I would recommend getting as much chocolate from Germany/not-Denmark, as it'll be a lot cheaper than getting it locally.
      • ruaok
        nikki: yes please. chocolate. send receipts.
      • nikki
        ok
      • ruaok
        I'll bring a couple of tasty catalonion bars.
      • Freso
        +as possible
      • nikki
        how much do you want? :P and any particular preferences?
      • ruaok
        who else has access to good chocolate?
      • nikki: the weird stuff. 20 bars?
      • ianmcorvidae
        I could troll-bring some hershey's, but :P
      • ruaok
        thats 2 per person.
      • 30?
      • nikki
        haha
      • ok
      • Freso
        In general, if we need something and can get it from outside .dk and it can survive the transport, it will likely be cheaper than getting it in .dk.
      • ruaok
        ianmcorvidae: scharfenbergers?
      • nikki
        the ritter sport was on offer the other day, wonder if it still is
      • Freso
        DK is hella non-cheap.
      • ruaok
        Freso: is it anything like .SE ?
      • Freso
        3 per person at least.
      • ruaok: Slightly more expensive than .se for most things.
      • ruaok
        everyone who has access to good chocolate: bring it.
      • Freso
        Alcohol being one of the few exceptions. :p
      • ruaok
        ouch. that sucks. and still no herring tequila./
      • :(
      • Freso
        "still", ie. "yet, being the keyword. ;)
      • *"yet"
      • ruaok
        Freso: how can we be smart about public transit?
      • often times that is a royal pain.
      • Freso
        From the airport or in general?
      • ruaok
        are there group cards?
      • most to and from the venue to the house.
      • Freso
        Let me check up on it.
      • ruaok
        please do. it always ends up being a cluterfuck and I am sure we can do better.
      • ok, what else should we discuss?
      • Freso
        Danish public transport is pretty good.
      • navap
        And how easy would it be to get a sim card with data access for the weekend?
      • Freso
        (I mean, we complain about it a lot, but it's still better than most places. :))
      • ruaok
        oh, yes. I'd like that too please.
      • Freso
        navap: That should be fairly easy.
      • ruaok
        hints to what providers are good and where to get the sim cards are good piece of info
      • Freso
        Heck, I think I could probably lend out two of my SIM cards if you don't go too crazy with them.
      • ianmcorvidae
        any idea how good/bad the wireless will be at this place?
      • Freso
        (Though those are data only - no texting or phoning.)
      • ianmcorvidae
        the SIM cards are probably mostly for data anyway, yeah
      • Freso
        ianmcorvidae: At CBS it is fairly good.
      • Obviously no clue about the apartment's.
      • ruaok
        I'm going to pack a wifi access point again.
      • ianmcorvidae
        oh, I meant at the house. CBS I assumed would be good
      • ruaok
        I would hope that at least the connection is decent. I'll also bring a raspberry pi and other shizzle.
      • Freso: I arrive a day earlier than everyone else. wanna make herring tequila?
      • either that or go for a bike ride?
      • nikki would like to know where the nearest shops are to the house
      • Freso
        ruaok: If it's a lot of bother to pack your AP, I can retrieve mine from my mother's - and kloeri can probably conjure one as well.
      • ruaok: Sure. :)
      • aandre joined the channel
      • ruaok
        Freso: good to know. this is just standard equipment.
      • Freso
        We can go see that orange snake bridge thing. :p
      • ruaok
        please!
      • nikki
        orange snake bridge thing?
      • kloeri
        Freso, ruaok: I have an access point stored at CBS if that's where you need it
      • Freso
        kloeri: It's for the apartment where people will be staying.
      • ruaok
        kloeri: its more for when the wifi at the house sucks.
      • becaus most access points that airbnb people buy can't handle 10 geeks and their 5 devices each.
      • kloeri
        nod
      • I can probably figure out something for that
      • chirlu`
      • ruaok
        ok, cool. if not, ping me and I'll bring spare gear
      • kloeri
        nod
      • navap
        The airbnb page says the hosue sleeps 8, but we've got 10 slots on the wiki page. Do I need to sleep in the hammock outside? :p
      • nikki
        yes
      • ruaok
        navap: yes.
      • kloeri
        and since I've been busy moving I haven't gotten around to scribbling down restaurants yet
      • Freso
        kloeri: Anyway, make a section on https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz_Summit/14 with food places you know of?
      • ruaok
        more seriously… there are two couch beds for random people
      • kloeri
        who knew it takes literally *hours* moving? insanity!
      • Freso
        kloeri: :)
      • ruaok
        and a double bed.
      • kloeri
        Freso: will do
      • ruaok
        kloeri: thanks
      • did anyone implement "re-opening" accounts that I wasn't aware of?
      • nikki
        no
      • bitmap
        nope
      • ianmcorvidae
        no, but if you've previously deleted your account you can register a new one with the same name as the old one
      • it'll have a different row ID and you won't get "credit" for your old stuff or anything, but
      • ruaok
        yeah, his account stats said: "new account"
      • I don't buy that BS for a second.
      • anyways.
      • what else?
      • Freso
        ruaok: Alright, I have public transport info open now - let me know when you want to discuss options.
      • ruaok
        group tickets, with advance purchase option.
      • can we buy a pile of those ahead of time?
      • Freso
      • ruaok
        ok, if there is nothig else "officially" to discuss, lets close for now and Freso and I will continue.
      • Freso
        We (well, you) will need two "travel zones" (1 and 2).
      • ruaok
        really wow.
      • Freso
        So that's 36 DKK per 24-hour per person.
      • kloeri
        ruaok, Freso: anything I should ask CBS? I'd like to poke them again just to make sure we're on track
      • Freso
        So about 10 € for 48 hours of free travel if at least 25 people join in.
      • chirlu`
        “Please order the Travel Passes at least 6 weeks in advance”
      • ruaok
        at least.
      • Freso
        chirlu`: Ah, snap. :p
      • ruaok
        heh.
      • and we're also not 25 people.
      • if we can travel in groups of 3-5 that would be ideal.
      • Freso
        Also, we're not quite at... yeah.
      • Okay. Next option.
      • There doesn't seem to be group tickets per se.
      • At least I can't find any info about it. :/
      • ruaok
        ok, everyone, thanks for your time. stick around if you want to hear about the intracacies of the CPH public transit system. :)
      • Freso: can we buy single tickets in advance?
      • kloeri
        Freso: maybe try calling DSB perhaps?
      • ruaok
        and the machines at the station closest to us… can they take chip-bank cards? From spain?
      • I know the offical bank card won't be accepted.
      • Freso
        ruaok: VISA?
      • ruaok
        but my personal one from spain should be.
      • Visa Electron.
      • Which seems to be a big deal.
      • kloeri
        Freso: or maybe the local tourist information?
      • Freso
        I think they should be able to.
      • ruaok
        ns.nl doesn't accept that.
      • at all.
      • Freso
        kloeri: I could try and call DSB on the morrow.
      • ruaok
        Freso: please do.
      • Freso
        ruaok: Anyway.
      • ruaok wonders how trustworthy DSB is.
      • ruaok
        for the US you would call three times. if the stories all lined up, you got the truth.
      • if not, call back until some sort of story congeals.
      • kloeri
        I'd expect visa elextron to be accepted as it's not all that uncommon for young people in Denmark to have that
      • ruaok
        kloeri: good to know.
      • Freso
        If they confirm that there are no group tickets, the options I'd recommend are basically either city passes or "10-trip tickets".
      • ruaok
        and since I arrive before most people, I can check things out and try and anticipate problems
      • can 10-trip tickets be shared between people on the same ride?
      • ruaok loves that feature
      • kloeri
        should be fairly easy figuring out in advance which cards are accepted at the stations
      • ruaok
        if so, that is a good solution.
      • Freso
        A city pass is either 24 hours (80 DKK) or 72 hours (200 DKK) for zones 1 through 4 (the airport is in zone 3, you will stay in zone 2 and CBS is in zone 1 - you won't need zone 4).
