94: these should come standard

I kept doing two stages cleaning after nature calls starting with toilet papers first until they clogged the pipes. Now that I installed and used a bidet I wish that big clog happened earlier.

93: Jujube fruit types

I have recently learned of a tree being cultivated, probably more in the desert like areas, here called the Jujube. The types chosen of this tree seems to be overwhelmingly the Indian or the Chinese. I wonder if those who make such choices had tasted the middle eastern type of this kind of tree and gave proper weight to the deference in taste and not just that the latter fruit is significantly smaller than the other two. I have not tasted those other two types of this fruit but I read that it resembles apples or dates (depending on ripeness) while I don't remember ever comparing that third type to any of those two but instead felt a distinct taste of its own. The Arabic name of that third type is "نبق" (closest English pronunciation equivalent is "NABOK" with short "A"). Although attention should be given on emphasizing the original type of that area because that name could have been extended to those other types after they entered the markets there as well.
