24 inches or smaller touch screen, 1920x1080 res, vesa mount preferably! No need to be portable. If there’s square-ish displays that’ll be cool too! Thanks!

happy_pancake··on What can we tell from the evolution of Han Chinese names?
thank u, it is interesting to me. My cousins born in 1990-2000 still follow the convention, but i am not sure about their kids. Most of them speak english so i am sure they use their english names more often
happy_pancake··on What can we tell from the evolution of Han Chinese names?
Yes that is the format. Sometimes, there can be two character names. I only know that my grandparents are from shanghai, but I cannot speak shanghainese. I am learning from my dad and aunts because the intonation is more difficult for me as compared to speaking chinese or cantonese.

sorry i had a typo it is 18 character only, not 28
happy_pancake··on What can we tell from the evolution of Han Chinese names?
Yes, my great great great grandfather was the one who traced most of our extended family members, but i think it is very much incomplete today. The poem has 40 characters in total and females may have some exceptions as well, like they can get their second character from a different set of characters other than the poem.
happy_pancake··on What can we tell from the evolution of Han Chinese names?
My great...great great grandparents decided that the second character in the names of all sons and daughters follow a chinese poem so that when the extended family meets, just by our names alone, we would know which generation we were from. I only found out recenty. It’s now around the 18 character of the poem. My parents skipped a character in the poem for me because it was too difficult for them to find a meaningful name with the character. My name means to stay humble forever

So frustrating and upset to see another marketing funnel on what I thought was going to be a person sharing things on his personal blog. Must everything be monetized? Gross
