In 7 days I will have been married 12 years.
My wife nor I understand how we got to this point.

I would like to win the lottery but I don't like losing so I rarely buy a ticket.
I can apply this to 99% of my life's situations.
Why do we call these “combination" locks:
Given that they’ll only open if the numbers are entered in a specific sequence, they’re clearly "permutation" locks.

Semantics?
Am I the only person who weighs myself before and after I go to the bathroom?
People always say I am full of E36 M3, I have data to show that is only partially true.

We’re talking math…absolute, unambiguous, beautiful math…semantics can find safe refuge in literature, politics, etc. but not here; no way.

I thought the phrase Combination Lock was English not a math equation

You know what grinds my gears? You go to Hawaii for a week and then get stuck there because there is a blizzard hitting where you want to go and you complain about it.
Guy found dream car. Guy is not old, has no bills, not seeing anyone. Guy wants dream car and can afford it but won't buy it. Guy is about to get smacked by me as I didn't do it when I was in this situation.

I'm a bit surprised to hear this too. She has my sympathies.

A combination look will only open when you use a specific combination of numbers. Seems perfectly right to me.

Nope, by definition, a combination lock would open regardless of the order the numbers were presented in. For example, if 32-08-19 worked, so would 19-08-32, etc.
Since both the numbers and their ordering are required, it’s a permutation lock…dang nabbit.

Stop asking math people to explain English.
That will never end well.
I think that my wife and I have been together a significant amount of time. I can spot knock off purses at 30 feet. She calls cars by chassis codes now.

We'll be going on 13 years next month. I feel you on the purses, she still classifies cars by color. I'll say look at that old chevy, she'll say the red (late model honda) or the black (57 chevy)

I used to think pi day was a big deal until my second daughter was born…..on November 23rd….1123…the Fibonacci sequence…Score!!!
Well so what about cobbler? Better than pie?

I wasn't familiar with this. It seems like kind of a dumb sequence.

I’ll just leave this here…
Uncanny Examples of the Golden Ratio
And if nature isn’t your bag, great works dating back 1,000’s of years (Pantheon, etc.) have also relied on that dumb sequence to produce some pretty dandy stuff.
