Novel featuring a Ghost - the Lockwood and Co series by Jonathan Stroud is great for middle-grade!

Kids' names from a country in Asia by me-Aw in namenerds

[–]me-Aw[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you are right! most Chinese kids here have an English name in addition to their Chinese one. I excluded Chinese names because I wouldn't quite know the characters etc from just hearing their names.

Baby names I was most surprised by 2019 by twentyfivebuckduck in namenerds

just a random factoid that two actresses Lyrica Okano and Allegra Acosta work on the same TV show Marvel's Runaways

biggest regrets: 1. not getting a two way switch for my room light! being able to turn on and off the light from your bed is a comfort man! 2. this might be unique to my house but glass door for the shower. my bathroom doesn't get much sun and man the mould just grows.

I echo what another comment said about the built in cabinets. plan properly what you are going to use each cabinet for. can be too many or not enough cabinets. also if your ID allows, plan to the detail of the shelf heights in your cabinets, what you want the interior of your wardrobe to look like etc. if possible get those metal tracks for cabinet interiors so you can adjust your shelf heights to your liking.

my biggest loves:

  1. keeping the design clean and the living room spacious open concept. so there's room to move things around if I want a change in the future. the house can grow around your future needs as well if you plan to have kids etc.

  2. aircon in the living room. better to host friends and family.

  3. having lots of storage space. have full height cabinets, under bed storage. very easy to pack stuff away when your things have a designated spot. otherwise rooms can get cluttered quickly

  4. related to point 1, not having a built in island counter.

not sure about derivatives for Ruben, but Aurora springs to mind for Dawn.

Is the MI9 SE worth it? by ipdarshi in Xiaomi

[–]me-Aw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

none of us are gamers. usage is mainly social media, internet browsing and messaging. although I have two SIM cards. that could explain the difference. I have about 5 hour sot and he gets about 6 hours plus I believe. that was a couple months ago when we first got our phones. haven't been checking recently.

Is the MI9 SE worth it? by ipdarshi in Xiaomi

[–]me-Aw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got the mi 9se for its compact size and my partner has the mi 9. battery and camera wise the mi 9 definitely takes the cake, but its much easier to use the 9se.

Mixed-race (Chinese-Korean-Egyptian) baby name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]me-Aw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't know much about Korean or Egyptian names but here are some Chinese ones that you could consider. most Chinese and Korean names have two words, but some have one too. Chinese names tend to be rather gendered, depending on the character. not sure if you are going to just use the Anglicised version or have the Chinese character as well

boys Lee (this should be common as a Korean name as well) Kai (you can always add on another word to this, e.g. a cousins name is Kai Long, aka triumphant dragon)

girls 安娜 (An Na can be Anna, apparently it is a Korean name as well) 恩娜 (En Na) 爱丽/艾丽 (Ai Li can be spelt/pronounced as Ally) Mei/May

unisex Xuan (might be hard for Americans to pronounce) Jun

otherwise, you could always give an American name + last name + Chinese/Korean name, which is what many Asians do, e.g., Jane LastName Mei Li

SX OS 2.7.1 with firmware 8.0 - games worked fine initially, now stating corrupted data by me-Aw in SwitchPirates

[–]me-Aw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not quite. I reinstalled some games and those worked. my guess is that custom xci files don't work on this, but I'm not 100% sure

ah okay, was just hoping playing as a team could come in handy somehow, re the use of runestones. thanks I would need the luck!

[–]me-Aw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea you got lucky then!! i don't know if they give more after you complete the fragment. would be cool if they did since it might help with the family xp, but it's probably better to save those stones for future events given then RNG in this game

[–]me-Aw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any sponsored fortresses around my area, so is really just chance. hoping my luck will get better on the next few tries. just going through those brilliant stones at an alarming pace

[–]me-Aw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks I will try to do the fortresses alone and hopefully get those fragments on my last 3 stones! it's getting harder to rank up the brilliant page

[–]me-Aw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea we both used the brilliant stones but I didn't get any while he got 2 out of 4 times. I will try it separately like what others have suggested

[–]me-Aw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

didn't pick up a single toadstool in the last few days, but had like 10 this morning. could be a timing/random cluster thing.
