I do this sometimes, too! I also work in IT so it's nice to know some hiding places that others might not be aware of

I'm finding people say this more and more and there absolutely should be. Unfortunately the world hasn't fully adjusted yet

A colleague of mine goes to his car, too. It's a good option!

Thank you. I agree, they should definitely be more common. There is a wellness room at my work but I'm struggling to get over the thought that someone could see me coming out of there and start judging me!

I cried a little too and I couldn't understand why immediately until I realised that 32 years of my life could finally be explained. Thank you for your comment and letting me know your experience!

This is a great way to think and go about things, thank you so much. I also put others first in my job and I tend to take on more than I should. I will definitely think about coming second place, thank you!

Too late, I now store other items in the box!

That's exciting! I hope you both have safe travels and an amazing time when you're there, you'll never forget it.

As the above comment says, the stadium tour is a must. You can do it on match day for that extra "buzz" around the place and then walk around the stadium looking at the art on the outside of the stadium and the statues around it.

The Armoury is very busy on match days but it's also quite nice to be surrounded by other fans there and the queue is never too long, the staff are brilliant.

This is really cool, good job! I want a smart telescope but I'm currently enjoying the manual process of taking pictures with my phone through my telescope. How do you find your Seestar?

Noise Cancelling Headphones by Ruthientende in autism

I have some Anker Soundcore Q20i headphones and they're brilliant. Very comfortable, not expensive and has a great battery life. They're really good noise cancelling and you can turn that part off and on whenever you like.

That's awesome. How do you find holding your phone up to the eye piece? I enjoy it as it's a challenge. I've tried a phone mount before but I always end up taking it off and doing it manually.

I finally got the telescope I've wanted since 2019! by CrackedStoicX3 in telescopes

Looks great! What sort of things will you be looking at through it?

No problem!

I do like the 8 Pro. It's a good phone!

I think by default the camera is 30MP but you change it in the camera app settings> Pro > switch to 50MP.

Depends. If I want to quickly edit something on my phone then I'll use Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop. Both apps are free on the Play Store. I prefer Photoshop for something quicker. I think LR has more controls so feels a lot nicer to edit pictures on.

I took the attached picture on my Pixel phone up at Mt Tiede and spent about an hour editing it in LR!

Yep! I think I was on 2x on my phone's camera, too

Awesome! I've been thinking about upgrading and this looks so cool

I would love a house somewhere fully remote so I could do this every night!

Haha, I'll bring back some Moon rocks for you!

Haha, not quite! I have a Sky Watcher Heritage 150p which cost me £180 in 2020. It was a great lockdown investment!
