I went to grad school in the USA. I bought the international version of a few books that were going to be used in class (knew beforehand that the recommended lectures weren't written by any faculty member at such a university), but that didn't stop the professor from going aggressive and saying that my books were banned from the classroom because they aren't the USA version. When I told the professor what the difference was between me buying a text book for $15 instead of $200 and a Fortune 500 outsourcing entire departments instead of hiring USA employees?

Interestingly, my books weren't an issue. Yes, I gambled being publicly labeled as a troublemaker in my engineering department (probably I was labeled privately within faculty members).

Exactly, is similar to plug in an USB-A, two tries max.

I thought this was implied and there was no need to add "/s" since we all struggle with this type of USB configuration.

I remembered that I bought the launcher at 0.99 USD but not when. I checked my emails and it was 8 years ago. I think the last time I used Nova launcher was around 6 years ago.

It's unfortunate that they got sold to an analytics company. It was an good launcher

I think you are wrong. Such a sentence will grant you a "you pass the class, see you next semester".

Well, I'm off to the pharmacy to get some over-the-counter medical records.

Which new features are you referring to? Are you enrolled in the beta version of the app?

This is how my keyboard looks within Google Messages app. You can disregard the square with the number one in it, that's just for selecting which sim card I'll be using.
