What beer are you drinking?

[Donkeyboy75]

I'm working late, so I picked up some Pilsner Urquell. :9

The ONLY perk of my job is that I can drink during it...

[Angelus]

1. Michelob Light.

:toast: :beer:

[Parrcrow]

2. hey good idea.... be right back

ptsssst Miller Lite.:toast:

[amber dog democrat]

3. Negro Modelo, or Guiness

anything dark almost

[Donkeyboy75]

7. Mmmmmmmmmm, Guinness.

:toast:

[northzax]

4. Great Divide Brewing Company

Hercules Double IPA.

writing a paper due at 2:00 am...

[Donkeyboy75]

8. Get those creative juices flowin'

[northzax]

15. yeah, what do you know about the heat transfer

of solar energy through a roof and insulation?

[Donkeyboy75]

16. Sorry, I'm a chemist, not a materials scientist.

Good luck to you, though!

[northzax]

19. tha't fine

I'm trying to write a chemistry paper (really a short opinion piece) on the efficiency of spraying water on one's roof to cool your house.

so far I am simply guessing on the conductivity of the roof panels and the insulation (and frankly, guessing is fine, as long as I state the numbers) the question is, how many k/cals of energy does sunlight equal per meter at the earth's surface? I can't be bothered to figure out the 45th paralell version, or anything except a daily average, to be quite honest.

any ideas where I can find this information?

[Donkeyboy75]

21. I remember going to a seminar where it was estimated the

average power per square foot at the earth's surface was slightly less than 100 watts per square foot. You'd also have to take into account the reflectance of the roofing materials, and how much infrared heat the water will consume...

[northzax]

34. of course

thanks for the info. I am taking into account a rate of 1180 kcals/meter/hour.

basically, I'm trying to use the heat of vaoprisation to see how much energy is removed from the system by the evaporation of the water. WE have very absorbative roofing tiles, 95% efficient! (course I just made that up)

and, just for fun's sake, I have taken into account the reflectance of water, and called it a 25% energy loss. (again a fictional number, but I can't seem to find a real one)

[Donkeyboy75]

35. Wow, great absorbance!

Wanna go into business together?

[northzax]

36. yeah, it's good stuff

it's actually made out of the same stuff they use in the oval office to absorb all of chimpy's bullshit. top secret stuff.

what, pray tell, would be a better number? really, I have no idea.

[Donkeyboy75]

37. I don't know. 95% of anything in science is grrrrrreat, though.

Look at that. I'm hijacking my own thread.

[northzax]

38. yeah, but it's better than me writing this paper

especially since it's a formality, I have a guaranteed "A" I just have to write thje fucking thing down so I don't get an incomplete. literally, they are dropping the lowest score, and since I currently have a 97.5 and a 98.5, and there are no plusses or minuses, this is a waste of my night.

[supernova]

5. Ravenswood Petite Shiraz

Pretty good too. :9

[Rick Myers]

6. Widmer Brothers Wheat

IT good... Unfiltered!!!

:toast:

[Teddy_Salad]

9. "Suds"

.

[arwalden]

10. It's Not A Beer... It's Smirnoff Ice ... The Red Label One.

What EXACTLY is this stuff? I like it.

-- Allen

[Catshrink]

14. Yum... I like hard lemonade too.

It's kind of girly though.

[arwalden]

46. "Girly Beer" LOL

Yep... I guess so. Now that you mention it.

-- Allen

[Bill McBlueState]

11. Blue Moon

Or at least I was a while ago. Maybe I should have another...

[Catshrink]

12. Full Sail Amber Ale as we speak....

I like small micro-brews, dark preferably.

mmmmmmmm beer.

[Donkeyboy75]

13. A Cubs fan with good taste!

:toast:

How 'bout Maddux today, eh?

[Catshrink]

20. If he'd stayed with the Cubs maybe, just maybe

we'd have won a series by now. Nah. Never happen.

[Donkeyboy75]

23. Never say never!

I'll probably die before it happens, though.

[sasquatch]

17. Paulener Hefe-Wiezen

:beer:

[dolo amber]

18. Same thing I always drink, Pinky

Yuengling. Tastes like Heine at half the price. ;) :9

[Donkeyboy75]

22. Pinky?

Are you from the Philly area? My uncle LOVES Yuengling, and I'm inclined to agree with him. My only complaint is that it dries me out and makes me thirsty.

[dolo amber]

24. Sorry, I may have partaken of 3 or 5 or 189 tonite

:D

Bad "Pinky and the Brain" reference, obv. ;)

[Donkeyboy75]

25. Sleep it off, 'cause we have to take over the world tomorrow.

:)

[dolo amber]

28. Actually, I've only had 3...

But I was aggravated when I drank them!!

(This would be yet another bad reference, and one no one here could possibly know...I have a friend who was arrested in Texas for fishing w/o a license...when he was in jail, someone asked him 'What're you in for?'...he answered 'Fishing w/o a license...but I was aggravated when I did it!!'....:D....get it...as in aggravated increases the seriousness of the crime...? :D)

Fine. I'll just be over here now ----------->....

:D

[IronLionZion]

26. You actually have Yuengling over in North Carolina?

Pennsylvania has the absolute best beer in America. (Yuengling is from PA, America's oldest brewery)

[dolo amber]

29. Oh yeah

I think at this point it's still in business here BECAUSE of me... :D

[IronLionZion]

30. You have good taste

:toast: :beer:

[dolo amber]

33. Why, thank ya!!

;) :toast: :beer:

[IronLionZion]

27. Heinekin dark

not bad, Pilsener Urquell is good. The buy American plan doesn't apply to beer.

[Donkeyboy75]

31. Not to be crude, but Heineken dark gives me the ftttttts

Please don't share with me.

[IronLionZion]

32. ok more for me!

How about an Isenbeck dark? I love dark beers!

[Paul Hood]

39. That's a helluva perk.

Yuengling black & tan in answer to your question.

[Throckmorton]

40. Makers Mark, Straight Up, neat

Beer is for teenagers.

[Quahog]

44. Rip

MM is great stuff. Try to find yourself a bottle of 10-year-old Rip Van Winkle, the favorite sipping libation of myself and my bourbon-swilling buddies.

[Scooter24]

41. Smirnoff Twisted Green Apple

I know I'll probably take heat for this, but they are remarkably good..

[Jokerman]

42. St. Paulie Girl Dark n/t

[mopaul]

43. this morning i'm having guinness with baily's irish cream

see you this evening when i awaken

[Quahog]

45. Dogfish or Long Trail

My current faves are:

Dogfish Head Raison d'Etre
Dogfish Head Immortale
Long Trail Double Bag

When I'm really in the mood to push the envelope, I'll crack open a Unibroue Trois Pistoles or two. But NEVER three.

Yes, I like the high-octane stuff.... :beer:

[bearfan454]

47. Miller Lite

3.2 carbs.

[bif]

48. Molson Canadian

Last night. It's a bit early to start hitting the suds.

[trackfan]

49. Country Club Malt Liquor n/t

[Calico Jack Rackham]

50. Bass Ale

[Donkeyboy75]

51. Are you in the U.S.?

If so, nothing like drinking in the early afternoon on a Tuesday!

[Calico Jack Rackham]

52. He He

Ahh nothing like having a nice day off, lounging around in my underoos and enjoying a nice cold Bass Ale.

[Donkeyboy75]

53. Great mental image. Thanks.

I only drink Scotch whiskey in my underoos.

[ACK]

54. Another one for Bass Ale

Good stuff.

[sus]

55. do you work for USAir?

I heart Guinness!

[Commendatori]

56. Tetley's Bitter (n/t)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

57. Harpoon IPA - I'm home sick so its a euphoric combination

I'm out of it on so many levels!!

:beer:
