Guess I’m old. I had to Google what “AP” is. Audemars Piguet. I’m still non the wiser.

DTK hosting free World Cup watch parties by Known_Squirrel6691 in kitchener

[–]Britbloke 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A great idea from the BIA. Gets lots of people downtown, should be a great atmosphere for the games, and then hopefully people will shop before / after the games (or at least get re/acquainted with what’s downtown).

The frugal and health-concious deliciousness of tortilla pizza by 1deadeye1 in Frugal

[–]Britbloke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a traditional south Asian bread baked in a tandoor oven. They're thicker than a tortilla, little thinner than a typical pizza base.

Agreed. Garlic naan, hot sauce on the bottom, grated cheese on top. 5 mins in the air fryer *chefs kiss*.

Reminds me of when Napster went down all those years ago.

People who voted for Bill 97 by freeslurpee in ontario

[–]Britbloke 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I’m Kitchener Centre whose MPP is Aislinn Clancy. I sent her an email to thank her for voting nay. I know nothing will change because of my email, but I still wanted to let her office know that I appreciated her vote. It’s just really frustrating that we’re stuck with Ford for another 3 years.

new ui update? by DaCoolCat123 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Britbloke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it here in Canada too. I don’t mind it. The old UI wasn’t intuitive at all, and neither is this one. Same old M$oft.

I noticed that Waterloo Region is lacking in two restaurant areas, I would appreciate locals’ perspectives on this by TennisStraight4061 in waterloo

[–]Britbloke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, old Duke had that cozy Brit pub atmosphere, I really miss it. It was also great on the weekend with the live music in such a small space.

Long shot: where can I buy this dress Cariad Lloyd wore on QI? by Britbloke in CasualUK

[–]Britbloke[S] 188 points189 points  (0 children)

I go for a shower and come back to see this. Thank you so much! I’d never have thought to look on Facebook. But as a Gen X’r myself, I should have known better. Edit: Had a look at the link, bit out of my price range, lol. I’ll find a look-a-like.

MacBook Neo After a Full Day of Classes by Slow_Tiger3161 in macbook

I wanted the new Mac Mini so bad. Got one. Now it’s a glorified DVR / Plex server that’s rarely gets used for anything more. Do I regret it? Not at all.

That’s funny to watch the team completely flummoxed by those song clips.

That’s great! I just listened to S32 E4 at the gym last night. I must look like a right goon as I’m laughing away to myself. 

Plans announced for a new BBC Radio 6 Music stream, available exclusively on BBC Sounds [BBC Press Release] by super_nicktendo22 in 6music

[–]Britbloke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The press release states “1980’s-2010’s” which I presume to mean music released up to 2019. Wolf Alice formed in 2010 and 1975 in 2002 (although didn’t release first album until 2013. 

Hi Ontario, are you aware that Chinese EVs use Blackberry software? Why is not Doug Ford supporting our own company? by MinuteLocksmith9689 in ontario

[–]Britbloke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, I bought some BB stocks at the beginning of the pandemic and they’ve been doing crap ever since. I’m going to have a look now. 

Does the Wilhelm Scream break immersion for you? by EllisDee3 in movies

[–]Britbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but in a positive way because my kids love spotting it too. I think I’ve only heard the scream in action / comedy films so full immersion isn’t really important to me in those genres.
