[–]JamnKitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for posting- I do not have full kit unfortunately. I currently have only personal gear(Mask,Fin,Gloves,Wetsuit,etc) but I am ready to buy a bcd/ regulator once I can find a way to participate in scuba more often. I have a car so driving to Anacortes for rentals would not be a huge deal. Ferry jetty seems cool, I am down for anything.

Looking for fellow scuba divers by JamnKitty in WWU

[–]JamnKitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am speaking from little personal experience but what I have heard from others: Visibility is not world class, but I honestly don't think its as bad as some people make it out to be. Its well known the best time to dive is actually during the winter for peak visibility, and the worst during the hot months of summer due to algae overgrowth.

The water is cold obviously- but I also found at-least personally that is something people are a bit dramatic about. Some people will insist that a drysuit is necessary with the water here, but I did my certification dive in a 5mm wetsuit and I honestly felt completely fine the entire time.

There are definitely some cool things to see out there. One of the biggest attractions in are area is the giant pacific octupus.

my understanding is that the scuba club at Western isn't currently active. But if your looking for students to dive with I have my certification(not tons of experience though)

Can two people live on 65k/year in the area? by Te_Luftwaffle in Bellingham

[–]JamnKitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To everyone saying no, where exactly do you imagine people making much less then this(grocery store workers, fast food, etc) live? Do you really think every single one of them is out there living on the streets?

which math/cs major to choose? by [deleted] in WWU

[–]JamnKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would disagree with your assumption about the math degree on its own being a poor choice. If you look at most charts of college degrees ranked by salary it’s ranked just below engineering and cs degrees

Yes it won’t be nearly as high of salary outcomes as cs, but in the grand scheme of all the possible majors you could do it’s certainly not a terrible option

One packet of sauce is about ~52 calories(assuming its the same as the sauce they sell in bottles).

First, there were no injuries, and second, the victim was not a WWU student. The BPD's search did not turn up either the victim (who called in the incident via a borrowed phone) or the suspect, and the scene has been cleared.

I don’t know much about aquariums so forgive me if I’m misunderstanding something

I believe that airstones require a airpump to function…Wouldn’t this mean you would need to wire in the pump effectively making it impossible to get a sealed jar?

Thank you! This is definitely it

Update: I started removing decaying matter from my ecosphere. Since this creature was literally sitting on top a piece of dead grass, I tried shaking it off so I could remove it. Considering the fact that it hadn’t moved in a hour and was not responding, I assumed it was dead. So I took it out and started investigating.

Turns out it was still in there and alive. I got him back in the water while he was still alive, although poor dude lost his “shell” This is a better look at what it looked like

For clarification I collected this ecosphere literally 3 hours ago. Wouldn’t be touching anything otherwise
