11 hour layover in Doha, want to see the city

Hello,

We'll be having a layover in Doha, arriving on a Tuesday at 15:10 and leaving at 02:45 AM Wednesday, so that's 11 hours 35 minutes of time between flights, and I guess about 9 hours of relaxed time to see Doha.

I am really excited to see the city and the first time to be happy for a layover experience, however I do not know how to plan it in such a limited time.

I am aware of the guided tour you can get from the airport, and I have that as an option, however I did read and see that in some places it won't stop, or if it stops, you won't be going inside as well (for some museums, if I am not mistaken).

Are there any tips on how to do this right and be able to enjoy Doha as much as possible before the next flight leaves? Which exact sites should we see/are worth it and by which means to do it?

Thank you!

Any tips to stop the toggle reverberation sound?

Changed my toggle to a switchcraft. Now I get huge string noise when switching pickups. It is decently loud even when muting the strings. I guess it has tight tolerances, but is there a way to make it more silent without actively trying to be extremely delicate with it?

Need some advice on lifting shoes

For 15 years I've lifted in converse/chuck style sneakers, but I think I can benefit from more lift oriented shoes.

I have very wide feet/toe box (between 2E to 4E), so most sneakers on the market don't fit.

So far I've narrowed the list to:

- TYR L-2 wide toe lifting shoes

- TYR CXT-3

- Inov-8 F-LITE max wide shoes

I also do walking lunges and RDLs, so I am a bit confused whether the L-2 will set me back and make me need a different pair. My main exercise is the high bar back squat in which I need a bit more dorsiflexion

Thanks

Need some advice on lifting shoes

Figured this would be a good subreddit to ask in, even if I don't do crossfit. I am looking for a good pair of lifting shoes for leg day. Main lifts I do are heavy back high bar squats, RDLs (rarely do I switch to classic deadlift) heavy walking lunges and occasionally barbell hip thrusts.

For 15 years I've lifted in converse/chuck style sneakers, but I think I can benefit from more lift oriented shoes. Have a separate pair for running/sprints

I have very wide feet/toe box (between 2E to 4E), so most sneakers on the market don't fit.

So far I've narrowed the list to:

- TYR L-2 wide toe lifting shoes

- TYR CXT-3

- Inov-8 F-LITE max wide shoes

I am leaning towards the tyr l-2, but I am thinking that walking lunges and rdl/deadlifts aren't that suited for them? whereas the cxt - 3 and inov better for the lunges but not as optimal for squats? Or get 2 different pairs and change in between exercises?

The squat is the main lift so I really want to have the best biomchanics for it.

Any advice or other recommendations?

Thanks!

I want to buy a bluetooth speaker that I will mainly use indoors (rarely outside, but you never know).

Will be used mostly for genres like oriental electronic music (example Amanati), "acoustic" oriental and nordic viking (so a lot of unplugged insturments like duduk, Egyptian ney, tagelharpa, voice chants etc.), ritual music.

I sometimes am a trip sitter for my friends and want to use this speaker for a more immersive trip, which is usually inside in a 40-70m2 room (most of the time in an apartment). This is the main purpose of this speaker. I want the music/audio quality to guide them, if that makes sense.

Any advice appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: ordered the x600
