they should add unown for other alphabets

greek, cyrillic, armenian, georgian, what other alphabets are there

it was an identical connector to the original 40-conductor cable, too, which meant you could use an 80-conductor cable with a low-speed IDE/ATA drive too, and the 40-conductor cable could be used for high-speed drives at reduced performance

just learned about how ATA improved performance by switching from a 40-conductor cable to an 80-conductor cable and changing nothing else--they just now had ground conductors separating each of the signal conductors and that allowed them to double the speed

the actual connector itself just had 40 pins, the ground pin was just brought out to like 40 of the conductors

okay tomorrow we are definitely going to the grocery store

explosive pie toppings are apparently really popular in australia, because it seems like everyone associates australia with boom meringues

just got what I thought was cherry and lemon-lime jellybeans at the same time but they were actually cinnamon and lemon-lime

the taste actually worked out pretty well

why do popcorn flavored jellybeans exist and why do they taste so much like popcorn, ew
