Moved to Brisbane from San Francisco in 2004, have used used Grace with no issues. Sold most big stuff before the move and replaced it here and was mostly happy with that as it took so long for the container to arrive. We stored our stuff in California as the place we were in there was sold out from under us while we waited for our visas. It may have arrived earlier if it had been shipped directly.

Public school all the way, but have had some challenges with 1 or 2 schools, mostly not the school's fault but the kids at the school. Private school for three kids would have financed a few houses.

I miss Mexican/TexMex but at least the ingredients plus recipes on YouTube are much more accessible than 20 years ago. You may miss the version of "Chinese" food from the US as the interpretation here also tends to be a bit different.

Houses, not even going to go there. An untimely divorce has ensured I'll never own one, despite being well above median pay.

I cashed out my 401k when I moved, not sure how you handle it if these days or if your balance is higher. I didn't have to deal with US income tax post move as I'm originally Canadian, but a cousin with US citizenship had to settle a rather large bill with the IRS, followed by denouncing citizenship.

Be warned that Brisbane salaries have a bit of catching up still to do. If you can get an employer that pays the same for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane you'll be 20-30% better off. Pay here is also often quoted including superannuation, so make sure HR isn't slipping one past you.

I read that as "White Australia".

This tutorial worked pretty well for me under Docker:

I've been using vikunja that way for a month or so now.

Also worth noting, as the instrument is on the ISS, it's ground coverage will be limited to +-53 degrees or so. Much of my birth province of Alberta in Canada will escape scrutiny from this, including the oil sands projects. Hopefully a successor to this ends up in a polar orbiting mission.

Now that I've had a look, it's still very preliminary and a very limited dataset. It will be interesting to keep an eye on this for further data releases.

The recorded high temperature in Coatzacoalcos for June 2023 was 39C on June 11. Someone in the local paper decided to play with "feels like" numbers.

I went data hunting. The full PDF is here:

Page 57 contains the southern map I was looking for. The full document contains much more information, and is less geographically limited.

Lots to read!

Revising my original post 😉

The content of the graphic is quite interesting but suffers from a few flaws that are unfortunately common in papers.

Australia looks invisible because the colour choices were likely made to highlight the routes of the high profile species in the North Pacific and Atlantic. If you look at the individual species at the bottom we've got a bit more of a presence there, despite a lack of tracks in our region.

Also as you pointed out they very much laid it out in such a way as to emphasize certain geographies, despite the high importance of the southern ocean to many whale species. I need to go back and see where the tagging was done, as northern whales seem to be to be over represented in the tracks. It looks like most likely in close proximity to Monterey Bay in California, if I had to guess. Admittedly if the data had come from an Australian institution, it would likely be biased to data collected here.

I'd also be very interested in seeing this same data laid out with a split northern/southern hemisphere map, from the perspective of the poles.

Lol I'm still suffering from karma induced knee-jerk deletions from .
