Two types of people on Earth. Those in the bottom percentile and everyone else.

I’ll add to this that legs and feet make for surprisingly good heat dumps when blood is pumping, so if you’re using them to generate the heat, the rest of the body has to do the radiating instead.

You know how the Romans wrote U? V.

Like J is a variant of I, U is a variant of V. Julius Caesar would have written his name IVLIVS

In some languages, especially English, the shapes were used interchangeably until well after the invention of the printing press. There are old, modern English dictionaries in existence where you’ll find words with “i” and “j” sorted in the “wrong” order or intermixed, and likewise for “u” and “v” for precisely this reason.

The letter w was born during that mixed up time, and so it got the double-u name, despite the fact that the shape doesn’t seem to match any more.

(For more fun, look up the letter wynn, “Ƿ” which if it had survived into Middle English, might be what we’d be using instead.)

Dumb question time: Which distro is this, and could there be a better option?

(Linux Mint deliberately removes Snap from stock Ubuntu, for example, but they dropped KDE a while back, and I don’t know if anyone has got KDE running or not.)
