For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    A fact is an observation made in nature. At 8:40 PM PDT I read from my kitchen thermometer 73°F. One datum.

    So often people use the term fact to suggest something is true, e.g. Gravity is a scientific fact. It’s an easily demonstqble phenomenon. There’s a mathematical law that predicts the interval of falling bodies. You can make and present facts that demonstrate the consistency of gravity, but it isn’t a single fact in itself.
