Dude, i don’t know what to twll you but IMO ramen noodles are friggin’ expensive here compared to the US. 4 for 1$ VS 1 for .75/.90€… ramen noodles aint the go to here for cheap eats.
I used to teach ESOL students and this is quite common. Very accomplished students who had often come over for some quite skilled jobs, but hadn’t used a mouse before. It’s hard to remember how odd it is as a control system when you’ve used them from childhood.
