You can go further back. The Old French ostel is from the Latin hospitale, meaning "inn" or "large house", which is the noun form of the adjective hospitalis, from hospes, meaning "host".

So the H in hotel is for host, kind of.

(you can go further back into the theoretical language Proto-Indo-European, but there's no written record of it, so no letter H that we know of)

His name is actually just spelled "Lore". And yes, it also took me embarrassingly long to realize this.

I just went through this exact thing (even having to install on my work computer). As others said, if you hit cancel like three times it lets you proceed.

Hopefully you didn't have to then do what I did: spin up a VM so the controller sees the exact bluetooth controller in windows, then go back and pair in Linux. It's extra work sometimes, but totally worth it to not be using windows.

I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's.

His hair was perfect.

Amazing. Right before the party they need to slather it in KY jelly.

No, you need two edges, one red one blue.

Back during prohibition in the US, there was a product called Vine-Glo that was a brick of grape concentrate. It came with a warning: "After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine."
