I once visited a zoo where all they had was a single dog, no other animals.

It was a Shih Tzu.

It's Minnesota in the US, so pretty sure it's in Fahrenheit. Though it should be like, 40° F there (4.4° C)

Tried it, but the gameplay is painfully slow.

That was less weird to me than him calling it a video game.

On the other hand, Kirk did have a Commodore PET in his apartment in Wrath of Khan. Maybe he's into extremely retro games.

The rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs was doing shit at his parties that got him currently awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

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.
