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”

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

    The answer is unequivocally “NO”.

    A sound is not a sound until it vibrates the listeners eardrums. Before that it’s just a pressure wave. Ergo, if no eardrums are around, there is no sound…

        It depends on why they’re deaf. If they were born without the ability for the brain to translate those pressure waves into recognizable sounds, than no. If they have that ability, but just need something to amplify those pressure waves (hence a hearing aid) then yes, because biologically they still have the computer necessary to do that translation job.
