Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 10 mm and 20 mm.
gollark: For instance, via [REDACTED], it's able to reflash parts of the EEPROM while running.
gollark: Oh, tons.
gollark: It's too late, I already reverse-engineered ridiculously specific details of the processor via extrapolating from your current messages about it and GTech™️ orbital scans via our future prediction engines, then wrote code which does cool things but is highly dependent on weird implementation quirks.
gollark: No idea, it was some weird issue under heavy server load I think.
