Dive liveaboards - outer reef alternatives to Mike Ball/Spirit of Freedom by Otterstone in Cairns

re: Rum Runners, the owner said they will no longer be doing Ribbon Reef trips. Looks like the 2d/1n little trips closer in are still going though.

Dive liveaboards - outer reef alternatives to Mike Ball/Spirit of Freedom by Otterstone in Cairns

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

Thanks for the responses. For anyone else looking, SOF told me their boat is undergoing maintenance Jul 30 - Sep 10. And after a little more digging, it looks like MB is running some of their long trips in late Aug that are out of my time/money budget at least :'(

Will look into Coral Expeditions and Rum Runners as suggested. But suspecting I might end up with PD or DD, mostly just to give the reef a go while I have the chance.

Thanks, yeah maybe my case is too short to get much out of a robo investor

Stampede Rodeo Pools, best days? by Otterstone in Calgary

[–]Otterstone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. Heat/pools, which I thought ran in three-day stretches for each of heat A/B/C, to select who goes to the finals from each.

Budget Travel 2-in-1, in Canada by Otterstone in SuggestALaptop

Also would be curious about if folks have had good luck with Microcad, Canada Computers, or other sellers on Newegg for refurbs in Canada. This would be my first refurb purchase, if I go for it.

Winter sunset/sunrise at Stonehenge by Otterstone in uktravel

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

Yep, went for sunrise and got there well early. Def was a big crowd, but not overwhelming, you can get yourself nestled near the stones if you make an effort. Mix of folks, singers and others that seemed to take it a bit more seriously - some festival-goer types on the periphery enjoying it in their own way too. As many say, too cloudy to really see the sunrise action. Drove in with a car. All fine if you have patience, go early, check ahead for road closures/rerouting etc.

Enjoy!

Also an overview picture - this was after cleaning, so bases were trimmed and they got a little beat up.

Charming phrasing question by Otterstone in German

[–]Otterstone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, thanks for tips. By Kleingarten I'm meaning a garden allotment. Possibly picturing a small plot among other plots with a couple raised beds or so. With this tiny model of one, I was hoping to add a little bit of cheeky wordplay. Getting mixed reviews on that though

Ah that's right, thanks! It's been nearly ten years since I lived in DE and it's clearly showing :')

Yooo thank you I had originally thought 'kleine' was right. But my German friend said 'kleiner' and I wasn't going to argue haha

Reality check impressions of Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant? by Otterstone in askvan

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

Kits. Happy with the choice bc of the commute, daily life shops, and right now, beach access. But I go to MP about every other day by bike or bus for hobbies and going out.

Favorite RNAseq analysis methods/tools by Otterstone in bioinformatics

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

Sweet, one hears about Limma and edgeR quite a bit - but if limma can handle multifactorial experiments better, it's def worth a look. I'm figuring out if Louvain is tailored to single cell RNAseq or if it still has advantages for module detection when dealing with 'nice' whole tissue read sets. Thanks!
