Choco Pie isn't like "chocolate pie" in the Western vernacular. It's a knock-off (of a knock-off) moon pie. [1]
> In the wake of World War II and the Korean War, the snack gained popularity in East Asia through its introduction by American GIs. Starting in 1958, a similar type of marshmallow filled cake was developed by Morinaga in Japan as 'Angel Pie'.
> Tongyang Confectionery began selling a similar product known as 'Orion Choco Pie' in 1974.
Also, 680/880 is severely underserved by public transit. Every day it's bumper-to-bumper traffic from Walnut Creek->San Jose.
BART will eventually connect this, but you would still need to transfer in Oakland, which is roughly 20-30 minute detour. Walnut Creek -> Fremont currently takes over 1 hour on BART, to cover a distance of roughly 30 miles.
FWIW, my parents didn't give me a generation name, and my kids don't have one. I have cousins and uncles (I think this is for males only? I could be wrong) who do have generation names. From what I understand, this practice is slowly dying out in favor of better sounding or more native-Korean names (without Chinese characters) in recent generations.
> People in Korea, who typically do have 3 names but who don't usually initialize them...
No, not really. This is a completely wrong interpretation of Korean names. Most of us have two names: family/clan name ("last" name like "Park", "Kim", etc) followed by given name ("first" name like "Chan-Ho" or "Geun-Hye"). The given name typically consists of two parts, but that doesn't mean we have three names.
Thanks! There is a corollary to this that would have prevented all this - when I went back in the Chrome settings and set the settings to the same order, it reset my header to this: "en-US,en;q=0.8,ko;q=0.6" - which makes things work for all sites again. I haven't touched my language settings since ~2012, so it's possible Chrome "fixed" this a while back, but didn't change my existing settings.
It was a bug in Lotus 1-2-3 that was intentionally implemented into Excel, so technically it was a backwards-compatibility "feature". And some items from the original list aren't exactly "truths" as much as implementations or configurations, e.g.

a) Yup, I have same experience here on iPad 1.
b) I disagree with this, but my kid is 3 years old. I thought the music selection was playful and best of all, not annoying when played ad infinitum.
c) I bought the paid version thinking that it would come with all the extras. I don't like in-app purchases in paid apps, and I think this should have been an option in the free version only.
With that in mind, I would also suggest that you provide a way to earn monster bucks for free, through offerwalls. Disclaimer and shameless self-promotion: I work for Tapjoy, that does this: https://www.tapjoy.com
