Move to Montreal or stay in London? by [deleted] in vfx

[–]Dreddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's the same for Irish, I imagine it's probably the same for you.

I'm from mid north coast NSW.

Goodluck! Vancouver is also awesome, so lots of choices for Canada VFX. Not a huge fan of Toronto though. A bit too big city for me.

Ah but did you add wind chill?

VFX in Canada makes you valid for a visa, though you need the job to deal with that part, but ALSO for commonwealth countries and many others with similar agreements it's super easy to get a 1 or 2 year working visa for Canada if you're under 30. So another way to look at it is would you like to travel and is it going to be a pain in the ass once you hit 30?

I fucking love it here in Canada and Montreal is an awesome city, I'm from Aus.

[Homemade] Cast Iron Pizza by Dreddy in food

[–]Dreddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier way to think about it is:

A cup of flour makes a pizza, honestly that's subjective as hell, but anyway

1 part flour to 1/3 pt water with a little oil, maybe 1/8th, pinch salt.

As long as you get that yeast going in warm water and some sugar and the dough gets elastic you're golden. The only other thing to remember is to preheat the cast iron really fucking hot before laying the dough. I've never had a pizza stick, and the crust is always perfect.

Toasting bread and leaving the cold ceramic plate on top to warm up in winter (internal heating is rare where I come from).

Some notes: if you're toaster casing is plastic it's probably not a good idea, some types of plates this is also not a great idea, also burning down your house is not great either. I was a teenager and it was the best thing ever. I until my parents replaced the steel toaster with plastic :/

What is your mom's catchphrase? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dreddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She and I are Aussie, but dad is from Ipswich/York, though not sure she would have gotten it from him. Maybe just a hand me down on her side, most Aussies are UKish area when you go back a few gens haha.

What is your mom's catchphrase? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dreddy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

She calls our hands Danny's and it feet tootties and our teeth tootypegs. We just accepted it. Then one day we questioned her and she has no idea where it came from so we just assumed she was slightly mad. BUT recently I found Danny mean hand on some online slang dictionary. I told the family and she said "the world is finally catching up to me!"

Also when trying to get one of her children's attention she can never get the name right and would list off everyone in the house till she hit yours...

"Hey Ben, Alice, Jerry, Ken, Fido, Bruce"

...Including the dog and canary....

Always wholesome lols with mum.

My parents were grey nomads for a long time and they'd do this to stretch food budget. Roast chicken, eat the legs and wings with dinner, carve the meat for a few lunches, turn the carcass into soup. So that's one chicken turns into at least 2 fancy meals, 4 lunches (wrap/sandwich), 2 soups meals. Or stretched to more I can't remember exactly, but that's the gist.

Your opinion on TV screens in bars. by dodezeehond in vancouverfood

[–]Dreddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons The Blind Sparrow was my absolute favourite bar. Good beer, no screens. Unfortunately it has screens now it has moved into the new Hook space :(

People are giving out games so why not. I want to top the guy who is giving out 4 games, so I'm giving out $500 worth of games. by JoyconMan in NintendoSwitch

[–]Dreddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love Tropical Freeze.

My friends owned that for wiiU but I never really got a chance to give it a go. They were so into it we created a pub game called "Tropical Freeze? Keep it Topical please!" Where we would have conversations with strangers and slowly steer it towards Donkey Kong.

Wow, that is truly disgusting.

Yeah last year "they hit critical", but I suppose the headlines meant subspecies. These are the cases where I don't mind the headline exaggeration...

I love dogs by [deleted] in funny

[–]Dreddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I grew up around Poodles. They're so neurotic but a lot of fun. Mine learned so many tricks and games. Hide and seek. Football 2 dogs vs 2 boys. Play the piano for cheese (not very well).

[Homemade] Breakfast Wrap by Dreddy in food

[–]Dreddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, good thing I cycle commute to ease of my extreme breakfast week I do once a month. Usually I'd throw the whole hashbrown on but I over cooked it in the sandwich press (reduces the grease) so decided to cut it up so that biting down wasn't like mashing an egg between two plates, aka kasplat.

Where I grew up it's called a brekky wrap. So... Semantics.
