    The Climbing Thread

    Ah, that's actually further from me than Fontainebleau, the Scots border may be easier to cross in these times though

    Where is that, looks nice. Most my climbing has been on plastic this year.

    Let's compare actual cost

    That was bad timing selling it, you would probably have got more than you paid for it earlier this year

    Looking for something to stream spotify to my AV receiver..

    Yeah I had a couple of spare audio chromecasts gathering dust, I was amazed I could sell them for twice what I purchased them for. Just looked at the Yamaha WXAD-10 out of curiosity, that looks quite a bit more spendy than the chromecast and less versatile although looks to cover Spotify...

    RTX 3070 Price - are they really worth it?

    I'm not a trader but aren't these two points saying exactly the same thing? Copper is on a bit of a run at the moment but there is probably less than £10 worth of copper in a GPU so that makes it hard to justify being a bargain at £900

    Looking for something to stream spotify to my AV receiver..

    Google's chromecast audio works great for me although they've stopped making them and consequently they seem to be going up in price.

    Quite a few 3060ti/3070s on FB marketplace near me for south of £700 now, not a full on panic but does look to be headed back towards MSRP

    Polishing out scratch in monitor

    Maybe I'll give toothpaste a go as I have some of that, I did try it on an old tablet and it may have worked a little. The plastic display on the monitor does feel quite soft relatively speaking I'm really annoyed at my clumsiness for scratching it in the first place.

    Help choosing - 18k budget

    Really don't see many of these on the roads but a nice looking car in my opinion. I'd imagine they are fairly reliable too. Not sure I've ever seen their Subaru BRZ twin in the flesh.
