I own a MP7se and an MP11se. I’m looking for a digital portable piano that’s lightweight < +- 20kg with the ability to update sounds. For me, the Nord was always the clear winner in terms of sound during comparisons online. I like the piano patches on high end Kurzweils as well.
I’m playing the piano for about 15 years now.

What would be a better alternative for the Nord Piano 6 and having a good action that’s decent enough to practice on as well?

In my search for a telescope, I have been looking at different types, mainly maksutovs and Dobsonians.

What I keep wondering is, under real-life Bortle 5–7 skies, does bigger aperture really make that much difference for deep-sky observing? Or is light pollution such a big factor that it makes more sense to focus on planets and double stars instead?

I read very mixed opinions. Some people say that even an 8” or 10” dob struggles with faint objects and structure under suburban skies because light pollution is the main limiting factor. In that case, a smaller and more portable scope could actually be more enjoyable since it’s easier to grab for spontaneous observing sessions or a quick walk to the park.

Others say I should go as large as possible no matter what.

I sometimes hear that light pollution matters more than aperture, so I wonder if a Dob would really show that much more than a Mak in my conditions, especially considering the extra bulk and setup.

The thing is; I’ve never actually compared them side by side myself.

So I’m mostly looking for real world experiences from people who own different scopes and used them under similar skies and not just the theory about “bigger is better.”

Did the larger Dob genuinely show much more on deep-sky objects? And was the difference worth the loss in portability and spontaneity?

How does HelloFresh determine portion sizes? (Belgium based). I’m quite skinny but often eat what would be considered a “meal for two,” especially after a long workday. I just received my first box, and the portions felt pretty small, even though each meal is labeled as serving two people. And I’m below average sized…

I’m curious how HelloFresh decides on these portion sizes. It’s hard to imagine a one-size-fits-all approach makes sense, since people’s calorie needs vary widely depending on factors like activity level, lifestyle, and type of work, sports, body weight…

I feel like I need to go to the store to buy some extra meat.

Also, a salesperson at my door told me I’d be able to pay using meal vouchers, which unfortunately turned out not to be true. As a result, I’m now spending significantly more on food than I did before.
