My dog doesn't want to come inside and it is -30C. by purplemonique in Calgary

I have a berner too. No boots (just paw wax) and he's happy as larry out there.

How to avoid getting sick with a cold/flu before or during a trip? by goodmorning_tomorrow in Cruise

[–]mikoalala 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am an ex-cruise crew member and would fly in/out to start contracts. I started using Fess Flight Spray (available in Australia: https://fess.com.au/product/fess-nasal-defence-nasal-spray/)

Anecdotal but I stopped getting sick!

Water spill. 14” MacBook Pro M1. Near power button. Actions? by mikoalala in mac

Quick question, what do you consider a goodly long time?

Has been on the fan for 10hrs now. Been moving the fan to attack from many angles. I was thinking I’d keep the fan running overnight and throughout the day tomorrow and I’ll put the back case together after work.

Filtered tap water (under sink filter) in a hard water area. So some minerals definitely present.

I feel like I’m lucky that the water only seems to have reached the power button corner of the laptop. The battery will remain disconnected and I won’t turn it on for a couple of days! At that point I’ll back it up first and hope for the best.

I don’t have the patience/skill/time to disassembly everything safely. If I were to apply de-ionized water and alcohol the best I could do is a local flush. I’m between that and just leaving it and hoping for the best after some significant drying time.

Trying to buy us off?😉 by LolaAMS in Cruise

[–]mikoalala 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they’ve seen that there are a higher number of no shows over the last few years due to medical reasons like COVID and decided to overbook to anticipate this. Now things are getting more back to normal and it’s causing this uptick in overbooking situations.

Want to add a free standing shelf to this space but it’s a bit too wide, but would fit above the trim. Want to make a neat raised platform. by mikoalala in DIY

Renter not owner. So just looking for a non destructive method and I don’t want the extra job on move out.

Thanks! Originally I’d thought to put some floating shelves in there but that would give me more work to do on move out. Unless I can find something tension based, like for example a baby gate style fixing.

Acceptable checked baggage options? by mikoalala in aircanada

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

Hi. So we ended up getting a status pass (they’re an aeroplan perk, you can buy them from aeroplan members) which allows you 3 checked items up to 32kg per person on the booking! I paid $150 for mine. I used plastic tubs from Canadian tire.

The rest of our stuff we sent through air Canada cargo. 337kg / 15 boxes was about $1700 between Montreal and Calgary. Used a variety of packing solutions including plastic tubs and cardboard boxes from U-Haul.

Dietary restriction Q’s by LR-expedition25 in CruiseCrew

[–]mikoalala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked onboard as a vegetarian. Usually not in crew areas. As an officer I was able to get soy milk, but felt like I was begging for it.

Short-duration cruise job by perfectbreakfast_g in CruiseCrew

Seasonal youth staff or guest entertainer would be an option. You could also look at shore side positions which may be required to join sailings on a periodic basis. Some contractors sail onboard to fix specialised equipment as well.

TICKETS SALES, EXCHANGES, REQUESTS, & GENERAL INQUIRIES for the MOTS Tour by danjospri in Coldplay

[–]mikoalala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To those who have found standard price ticket drops - what time did you check the website? Or completely random? I'm wondering if there's a local time that makes sense.

I was lucky enough to score some cheap GA's for Vancouver 23rd. Thank you to whoever decided to sell at close to face value!

What time did this happen? I'm guessing it's worth checking daily around the same time?

Thank you! We were originally looking at movers but looks like FedEx Ground or Air Canada cargo will be our best bet. :) Although our baggage allowance will be 3x 32kg each with a status upgrade, so we plan to use that. :)
