Clearly the database field only has two digits and then rolls over.

That being said, I really enjoy the generation name that could be a thing in Chinese families at one point. You give everyone in a family's generation the same middle name that indexes them to that generation. You can further organize it by having that name be the next word from a previously established family generational poem.

On the one hand, very organized. On the other hand, I hope your great great great grandparents didn't pick a poo poo poem.

Being part of a four hundred year old joke poem would be hilarious though.

The very best poem you could ever pick would be Jabberwocky.

So many cool middle names. Bandersnatch. Manxome. Uffish. :allears:

This (except with the fake graphs being tech-flavored instead of money-flavored) is exactly the sort of thing I looked for but couldn't find, 7-8 years ago in the ops center when we had a few extra screens on the big board at the front of the room and we needed to fill them with something for when upper management came by.

Having the same name as your siblings/cousins is wild, though. Did they go by middle names? Initials? Will/Bill/Liam variations? I imagine there was a mix.

The interesting thing is as far as I can tell both siblings preferred to be called by the full name, I guess it worked out since there was a few years between them so their friend groups didn't normally intersect. They did have nicknames for when they were in the same place though.

Also he was mad that his older brother got all the good email variations lol.

The increased rates of certain crimes (like assault) in summer is pretty well established, although I’m not sure there is also a definitively established reason. It would make some sense that people have more interactions with each other when it is warmer and that, as a result, there are more assaults.

I was looking into this and got distracted by Liechtenstein's murder rate:

Liechtenstein has less than 40,000 people in it so this is basically a list of years where they had a single murder.

Toronto in the 1890s had an extremely low homicide rate - the reported figures of what we would consider adult 'murder' (homicide + manslaughter, excluding infanticide and accidents) were 25 for the entire decade (per the contemporaneous Globe and Mail).

CBC currently has a show called Murdoch Mysteries, revolving around a detective in 1890s Toronto, that has somehow had 247 episodes, most of which feature a homicide.

Canada has a horrible history of treating its First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples, it's true, but generally murders in stigmatized groups were still counted as murders even back then.

Even if they were not, the lack of numbers of FNMI people in Canadian cities would have made the total homicide numbers very low. For instance, there were only 12,000 FN identified people in Ontario in 1871 (the last reasonable census of FN people in Canada), and given that the total population of the country had increased by 30% by 1891 they would be unlikely to exceed 20,000 in the whole province. The vast majority of FN people lived in reserves until the late 20th century.

The salient point is how unbelievably white Canadian cities were until very recently. Toronto, for example, was 95% European ancestry in 1971, the earliest year I could find data, and only 0.2% Aboriginal. In 2016, the Aboriginal population was up to 0.9%, whereas the total visible minority population was up to 51.5%.

Poorly phrased. The last census of any reasonable quality which addressed numbers of first nations people from 1871 (which was a specific enumeration of First Nations people) until 1971 (when the mainstream census started asking about ethnic origin). Anything in the century in between seems poorly documented from what I can find.

what is the point of this chart? how is it supposed to be better than putting time along the X-axis and plotting both variables on the Y?

is it just not wanting to have two different scales on the Y axis?
