So.. we do all know that USB ports tend to have a default orientation, right? Like we're all aware that plugging in a USB cable correctly is aided by the fact that electronics companies generally use the same orientation on most orientable devices and the whole "USB rotation disorientation" bit is just a big inside joke, correct? Are there actually people out there not paying attention to the orientation of their cables before they plug them in so it's just an eternal try and error for them? Maybe other countries have different standards or something because this age old bit is not making sense to me.

Aww man, this is not the follow-up I was hoping for..

Isn't it the first book in a series? I think I remember reading the whole series a while back

No idea why this is downvoted. Seems like a helpful suggestion

You've heard of Yugoslavia, now get ready for Yugoslavia 2 - electric boogaloo! Now with even more ethniceties under one flag, what could go wrong?

I believe there is no strict rule for how to distinguish between monsters and animals, beyond those you already suggested. While you can pick freely which characteristics distinguish them, I'd suggest tailoring them to your world. They should mean something. Perhaps monsters are magical to show off the magical system/ideas of your world. Perhaps they are tormented souls of humans to show how grim your setting is. You might make monsters more intelligent to help people emphasizing with them, or blur the line completely by just making monsters a fictional kind of animal to support a scientific narrative.

A hero of science! We thank you!

The secret agent easter egg quest line makes me wonder if i missed any other hidden features.

Graphene OS only works on Pixel Phones. They're really the gold standard. Pick one from the supported list on the graphene os website that suits your needs.

Token German chiming in

You got most of it quite right, except the ending. It's -erle, or really just -le (depending on where you split the word). The suffix is used to change a word to sound smaller, cute, playful and generally less serious. It also has a southern accent/sound to me, but take that with a pinch of salt. Not sure if there is an english comparison. Its similar to another german suffix: -chen
