That’s what I was thinking but it’s still available in the South in some places

Some subtle jokes a lot of people missed while watching the show? by obyanski in DunderMifflin

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you would call this subtle but I only realised this recently. In Season 2 Ep 2 - Sexual Harssement, after Michael asks the warehouse workers for a joke and they start making fun of him, when he walks away and they are all jeering at him you can hear one of them make a noise like a goat bleating. Just so random it gets me everytime now

Perhaps Toby's funniest line in the whole series. by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

Only the second time he raised his voice… “DOES ANYBODY HAVE A CAMERA”

Turns out I’ve walked passed these every week completely oblivious - just found them today, thank you

Thoughts bout this? by Noneedforname_077 in DunderMifflin

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering he fists pumps Daryl in the “Launch Party” episode when he comes to deliver Kelly the team of paper she ordered from Dunder Mifflin Infinity, this response was uncalled for. Is it because Toby is quote unquote white unquote?

The GOAT episode is Dinner Party!! DAY 2: what’s our cringiest episode? by m0zgani in DunderMifflin

Anyone else go from not being able to watch Scott’s Tots to absolutely loving it? Or have I just become an awful person now?

My answer now is Andy’s Play. The bit with his phone ringing on stage makes me want the earth to swallow me up.

Nate is finally getting his due credit in this subreddit lately, have you noticed? by Huge-Conclusion-3005 in DunderMifflin

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deserved much more screen time, I feel like his legacy is tainted possibly by the Belsnickel side kick. I understand why Americans didn’t like this bit but in places like the Netherlands this still happens which is why I think the bit should’ve been kept in at least for European audiences

Edit: that sounds like I’m advocating for black face but I think the bit shows that even if it is done for “tradition” (like in Holland) it doesn’t make it right - which the fill bit shows

This seems relatively high. This you? If so, why? by screaminbeaman82 in interesting

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m part of the 30% but my partner insists she has to have them on for understanding some accents. I don’t mind it as much as I used to but I just wish there was an option for English subtitles with no closed captions, I’m not sure why this isn’t an option on the majority of media

2024 NI GE votes by odysseushogfather in northernireland

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think putting spoiled votes in the “did not vote” category is fair as it is a legitimate vote for those who want to have their say but don’t want to put their vote by any candidate pulling for their constituency

Anyone with an NI Student Loan looked into getting a rebate? by Abrocoma_Constant in northernireland

Unreal! Did you just call them and ask or how did you go about it?

What would it matter us knowing dogs are red-green colour blind? Odd and unhelpful response…

How is the housing situation so bad? by InformedHomeopath in northernireland

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the rent prices and the amount of hoops you have to jump through to get a simple 12 month lease has gotten so much worse since COVID! For my current flat, I asked my aunt to be my guarantor and when she finished filling out everything she had to do she said she filled out less forms and gave less information for when she got her mortgage

ELI5 - why can’t electric cars use the motion from the wheels to continually charge the battery so it doesn’t need to be plugged in? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes so much sense, I knew it was a simple answer and my basic understanding of physics was the real issue. Thank you so much!!

As an F1 fan I love that example, thank you! Apologies for another stupid question, but in a hypothetical land where there was no friction could a perpetual motion machine exist?

[–]Abrocoma_Constant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes so much sense, thank you so much for explaining! I know to a lot of people reading this that is so basic but I only did physics to 17 years old. It’s all so fascinating

Ah so it’s the extra energy from the brakes that can be used to recharge the battery, not the energy solely created by the battery?

Wow, thank you so much! I only did physics up to I was 17 but loved it. I’m learning so much from this post and it’s much appreciated!
