Unfortunately, regular use of TRIM can have negative effects on performance (TRIM cannot be queued on some devices) and lifetime.

The flags of a dozen admirals, the broad pennants of as many commodores and the pennants of a hundred and fifty ships were flying together. The King came in the Royal Yacht, the Admiralty flag at the fore, the Standard at the main, and the Jack at the mizzen, and bided among his sailors for four days. One day there is a long cruise out into mist, dense, utterly baffling—the whole Fleet steaming toget..." current

Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired. Few people passed. The man out of the last house passed on his way home; she heard his footsteps clacking along the concrete pavement and afterwards crunching on the cinder path before the new red houses. One time there used to be a field ther..." current

Hitler had marched into Prague without firing a shot. Franco had subdued Barcelona and was ensconced in Madrid.

But the night did not penetrate those..."
