With fabrics you're kinda living in happy times as it's easy to research on the internet and the very basics are quite applicable in and of itself. You could just take two clothes made of different fibres and read on their differences and verify it through your senses.
I mean, this kind of a bottom up approach made clothes and fashion more legible to me at least.
I just recovered from the oddest cold. I was snotty for almost two weeks, had mild fever for two days and a high one, over 39 degrees that plummeted down to 37.5 degrees after like two hours. I literally accomplished this by taking paracetamol and having a cold shower. Then after two days of recovery I got what apparently is bronchitis that resolved in a few hours(?!).
And apparently other people have also gotten this, so it's not just me.
I didn't read the whole of Torvalds' post as I zoned out from the technical details, but the apology basically oozes Finnishness at every point. Lack of emotional intelligence or plain old disagreeableness is not by any means a national characteristic, but a brand of earnestness and directness is.

I bet they just ran out of nine sided platonic solids to use for packaging.
