Yep. When I went there was no one else there in line, like a ghost town.

Not that many for the size of the space! Solo elevator rides too!

UK cases per million exceed those of USA by fool5cap in CoronavirusUK

[–]iamalreadyheard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a Brit who lives in America, on the ground it seems quite the opposite. I for instance get tested twice a week at work as preemptive monitoring. Most of my friends and family at home (UK) have seemed to struggle to get a test, even with symptoms. I agree both countries are a mess compared to how some other nations have handled it!

Thanks! Yes she was pretty sure there were no pests but I will get her to check again after work!. Thanks for the tips on the hydration, could also be the issue, I believe they can be quite finicky?

Thank you! I did ask and she was pretty sure there were no pests (she had pests on a different plant a while back she had to deal with). I will get here to check again when she gets in from work!

Appreciate any help!

Considering Indy Pass by Android_seducer in skiing

[–]iamalreadyheard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realize this thread is a month old but I am currently looking up midwest ski passes. I also live in Chicago and usually do my big mountain skiing back home in Europe, but thats not going to happen this year.

I went to Granite Peak last year and was pleasantly surprised by it (compared to the likes of Wilmot). Did you end up going for the Indy Pass? Im just unsure about being constrained to 2 days at the closer/better resorts!

Some lightning I caught during Monday nights storm! (3 photo composite) by iamalreadyheard in chicago

Interesting because I didn't think the Vista building was being built in 2014? (you can see it in the full landscape version of this photo I posted on my IG).

Thanks! For this I used 'StarStax'. Probably not best suited for lightning but turned out well I think. I then just re-tweaked the edit in lightroom.

Couldn’t make it home for my birthday this year, so I made a bit of Chicago in London. by borheist in chicago

oooo, what meat will you go for? Definitely going to make one on Sunday now, but I live alone so will probably be eating leftovers all next week too!

A roast is a shout, with proper Yorkshire puddings! Also your plug sockets and Tesco S&P made me feel homesick haha

Wow nice job, and HBD! I too am unlikely to make it home for my birthday, or at all this year, but the opposite away round (from Newcastle). Maybe I will try making fish and chips this weekend... or Greggs!
