US - specifically Michigan. The naming convention and splits most commonplace around me seem to be

Kindergarten - 4th grade | “Elementary School”

5th grade - 8th grade | “Middle School”

9th grade - 12th grade (referred to as Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior years) | “High school”

But there is a bit of variance depending on district size. For example my school district downsized. So currently we have

Kindergarten - 6th grade | “Elementary School”

7th grade - 12th grade | “Secondary School”.

The former setup seems to resemble most of what other Americans would recognize.

Regarding “postsecondary education”, at least here, that specifically refers to any education past the standard 12 year education program, be it medical school or trade school or what we call college and many other places call uni/university.

Looks like rainbow chrysanthemum according to the iOS translate feature.

EDIT: and a Google search explains that “rainbow chrysanthemum” flowers don’t actually exist in a natural form, and seeds claiming to be them are usually just standard chrysanthemum seeds dyed to look different and won’t produce rainbow flowers.

In this context “no longer supported” just means “no longer receiving active development support”. Not “doesn’t work with the service”.

So actually no, that’s not what “no longer supported” means here, at all.

Yeah I’m fairly certain exophase just charged for Drastic because they knew it was leagues better than every single open source emulator for Nintendo DS on the Arm platform, and people absolutely would pay for it.

I mean, I guess it’s fair for people to charge for their work. But I do have to wonder if the entire project was novel, Y’know?

If it helps at all, Drastic DS is developed by Exophase, the developer behind the gpSP emulator, which is open source. Drastic is safe, and has for years been the only decent choice for Android as far as performance goes.

That said, from what I’ve just found, they’ve dropped support for Drastic, so pirating it is a good idea regardless.
