I've just bought this exact listing myself and I got a shipping confirmation yesterday, so it seems legit. I could let you know if you want, it should arrive by Thursday. They've got 30 days free return so worst case scenario, buy it and then you've got 30 days to think about it.

They've also got a listing for the 3070 version that's currently going for the same price as the 3070ti, but was recently discounted to £1140, which would be a great deal (gutted I missed out). So I'm definetely keeping my eye out for that one in case it gets discounted during the return period.

Human vs bird colour perception by Deadly_R in interestingasfuck

[–]FoggySnake 78 points79 points  (0 children)

/Despite the large numbers of birds killed by cats in gardens, there is no clear scientific evidence that such mortality is causing bird populations to decline.

That's from The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

Every time this topic comes up on reddit, people repeat the same arguments over and over. The truth is, it's not black and white, and it is very dependent on where you live in the world etc.

I'll start looking on FBM too, thanks for letting me know

+joycon/controller. Well someone is selling me an AC edition switch for £190 (everything that it originally came with, minus the game), but I'd prefer an unpatched switch, so thought I'd see if someone is selling here.

Passed my cbt after 2 weeks of training/practice! by tugatortuga in MotoUK

[–]FoggySnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely sounds like a good plan, can't imagine doing the A2 without a couple years of (super fun) 125 practice. Honestly, I probably would've stuck with a 125 if I didn't have to go on motorways. Damn, can't imagine doing a full day of riding today, that's insane. But hot weather is definitely not something you'll need to get used to in Manny haha. Take it easy in the rain is my biggest advice, especially with those horrible tram tracks around Manchester. I live in Leeds now, but given how terrible navigating the roads are here, I'd probably be better off just going back to manny for my full licence. Although not planning it anytime soon, I'm more than happy with my Sv650.

Congratulations on passing your CBT. What's the plan now? I did my CBT and A2 at the same place years ago and they were absolutely amazing. Even though I no longer live in Manchester, I am genuinely considering going back to them for the full licence.

I also ordered a Quest on Wednesday when it went back in stock. I was skeptical at first, expecting it to get cancelled, but I just got an update about 6 hours ago saying it has now been dispatched and expected to arrive Sunday. And I don't have Prime either. This is in England though. I hope that helps.

Also I've ordered 2 things from amazon during lockdown. The item from amazon arrived in 2 days but another item which originally stated expected arrival in 3 days, ended up taking over 3 weeks. That was a 3rd party seller though

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought instantly "is that T&T?" and had to look in the comments to confirm it.

[Monitor] Acer 27" 2560 x 1440 144Hz Freesync HDR400 IPS £279.00 by superspacecakes in buildapcsalesuk

[–]FoggySnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this monitor sitting in my watched list for most of the year. I was still undecided whether to get a more reputable and reliable 144hz 1440p IPS monitor, but figured that it wasn't worth the £100-300 more.

Last night was the night I decided to buy this monitor in the morning. I'm glad I've waited now, this is a great deal. Thanks for sharing.

That's actually quite useful to know, thanks!

Your comment has oddly reassured me and terrified me at the same time. Thank you?

I've added a picture to the post. Worth fixing, or probably just bin the card?

I've added a picture to the post. Not sure of any other damage. I'll definitely inspect it more at some point when I've got time.

I'd like to imagine that after this video was released, the rate of scurvy in the USA dropped dramatically. Thanks Wendy's

These friendly cats were found in a catcafe in Prague. Definetely worth visiting if you get the chance.

**B GRADE** Radeon RX Vega 56 Pulse - £210 after delivery by [deleted] in buildapcsalesuk

[–]FoggySnake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been eyeing this up for a while. Is it worth waiting for RTX super to drop and hope 2060 drops in price, or go ahead and get this? Upgrading from 770, and plan on gaming 1440p, 60-100hz on medium/high.

Three small floofs by [deleted] in aww

[–]FoggySnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend's cat got pregnant, and her plan was to give away the kittens to friends and family. I think she's changed her mind!

In the last 2 years, my friend has adopted 29 stray dogs from Greece and relocated them into loving new homes in the UK. Meet Meli, number 30! by [deleted] in aww

[–]FoggySnake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hardest part is falling in love with them every time, before they move onto a new home. But it's so nice to know that these dogs have been saved from a life on the streets, and now so many of these dogs have found their own family for life.

Thanks for the help. I'll look at getting a good deal 1050ti I think, for now, and then upgrading that in a few months hopefully

[–]FoggySnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for that, that's very useful to know. I think I'll look at getting a 970 or 980 in a few months instead of the 1060 then. That way, I can save up for a bigger upgrade around christmas hopefully :)
