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”

    I thought that higher altitude invariably meant colder temperatures? Like how mountains are capped with snow just at the top? The lack of atmosphere means less heat, not more? explain like I’m 5 please

      Super tall mountains do stay snow-capped but that starts at elevation roughly double of where I live.

      So that is true in terms of convection heat. Aka the sun gets the air hot, then the air gets you hot. When you’re in the shade, this is how you feel heat in high altitude. At sea level this is also mostly how you feel heat.

      The difference is radiation heat. When you’re in the thinner atmosphere you get more UV light and it heats you directly. UV can also penetrate skin a certain amount so it heats you inside too. You also burn super fast up high.
