Fair enough, thank you for the reassurance.

Oh, sure, many companies are named after their founder's surnames - I didn't mean to suggest I doubted that. I just meant that the Leatherman I knew was unassociated.

The "Tim" fact is pretty funny. Thank you for the information.

I used to work with someone bearing the last name of "Leatherman." They similarly lamented their lack of association with the company sharing their name.

Aren't most cats lactose intolerant?

I tried to verify this with a web search, but only got an AI response and many ad-laden sites. The best result I got was this one but I don't know if dailypaws can be trusted.

edit: Beautiful cat, though!

Huh.

Going back to the "being friends" thing, I think you and I could be friends due to applying qualities to numbers; but I think it might be challenging because I find 7 and 8 to be two of the best. They're quirky, but interesting.

Thank you for the insight.

The 7 times table is unfriendly?

I love 7 timeses. If numbers were sentient, I think I could be friends with 7.

Both relatable and understandable. Thank you for the answer!

A long time ago, I got a maze tattooed on my back. Very soon thereafter, people started telling me this exact thing. Apparently, I in fact got a labyrinth tattooed on my back.

That occurred to me while writing my comment, as well, and I don't like the implications.

I would imagine they have to ask you, yes. If the toilet can be flushed without authentication, they'd probably still have to ask you how.

I have no interest in one, but playing devil's advocate, some might consider it more sanitary since you don't have to touch the toilet to flush and have the choice of not being near it, hopefully avoiding any spray.

Also, if your guests use the restroom, you can startle them at any time.

 

My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

 

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.
