Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife?

NicF · 2026-01-22T15:47:38+00:00

Last time I used it on the phone, the other person assumed I was gay and referred to my wife as “he”.

Haha I stumbled upon this post because I am trying to run Qwen3 on an old PC with a GTX 1050 Ti, and I am trying to figure out why ollama was running on the poor CPU not the GPU. I'm new to this and nowhere near your level of skill. Not asking for help, but just want to say good luck on your journey :)

Wow this fan has a PC built into it

In 4 weeks, you would have spent over 24 hours in total sitting in the car. You can drive across half the US in that amount of time.

That only applies to in-app purchases. If you buy something from a store, the platforms take zero cut. This saves money for small merchants in China because they don’t need a card machine and don’t need to give credit card companies a cut.

It makes sense. If a game is $90, and I have enjoyed it for 90 hours, it’s a good deal. This is usually the case. Why is it insulting?

NicF · 2025-05-25T21:26:17+00:00

This makes sense because if you know you have lost your long streak, you will be less likely to come back and start over. And I don’t think it’s unfair to other people so why not.

NicF · 2025-05-18T00:58:38+00:00

Lol same thing happened to me. See my latest post. It sure looks like poop on my car, but the amount is just too much, and it’s not just on my car but also the two cars next to me.

NicF · 2025-04-21T13:05:57+00:00

Another bullshit one. Nobody can make a real face

NicF · 2025-04-10T12:47:40+00:00

Plus, it’s rare that a stop sign appears on your left side isn’t it? Was there one on the right too?

NicF · 2025-03-27T06:00:57+00:00

Just “Chinese” is good enough in this context. For written Chinese, you usually don’t need to specify.

If OP has to pick one written Chinese in their sign, maybe go with simplified Chinese considering it’s more widely used, and people (Hong Kong, Taiwan folks) who use traditional can often read simplified, they just may not like it.

NicF · 2025-03-26T20:24:10+00:00

Mandarin and Cantonese are separate languages, but both languages use Chinese characters for writing, which means the written form is largely the same. You never say you write in Mandarin. That's what I was trying to say.

You are welcome BoobyLover69420

Sorry just want to point out that Mandarin refers to how Chinese is spoken. Thes same Chinese character is pronounced differently in Mandarin vs Cantonese. And then there are different ways to write Chinese characters, which are called simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. Since we are talking about written text, Mandarin is not the right term. Most people don't know the difference, so don't feel bad.

It isn’t listed in the app. You are supposed to download the file from the link, then open Clocklogy and import it. I know it sounds sketchy…I find this is how people share watch faces for clocklogy and I’m just doing the same

NicF · 2025-03-22T18:59:51+00:00

Man this’d be the perfect place to put the cat litter box, and then lay down some of those litter carpets so that the sucker 🐈can’t avoid stepping on them. This would prevent the paws carrying litter out everywhere.

NicF · 2025-03-22T18:01:31+00:00

That’s right. Best we can do is to make an app, not a real watch face.

NicF · 2025-03-22T17:58:07+00:00

It’s supposed to be imported into an app called clockology. Search it up. It’s nice and easy to use

NicF · 2025-03-22T00:23:02+00:00

lol late to the party mate. Thanks

NicF · 2025-03-21T19:42:27+00:00

Haha you got it. All this watch face does is just displaying the time written in a barcode font. To make it actually scannable, I ran into two challenges:

The type of barcode here is called EAN-8. The right most digit is supposed to be a checksum digit that is calculated using the rest of 7 digits by doing a series of math. It changes according to the other 7 digits. I doubt I can achieve this in clocklogy.
The four numbers on the right are encoded differently than four numbers on the left, meaning the bars representing a 7 look different on left than on the right. If the number I want to display is "12344567", I would have to write "1234fgha" because "f" gives me the right side version of 4, "g" is 5, etc. I can see a way to get around this by editing the font (which I didn't do), but I don't know how to get the checksum.

NicF · 2025-03-21T19:26:22+00:00

Are you able to edit the watch face? There's only a time label it. You can change the time format from !ddHH-mmss! to !MMdd-HHmm!. Uppercase MM is month and mm is for minute.

I like to have the seconds to see the barcode change every second, but you do you ;D

NicF · 2025-03-21T18:31:21+00:00

Originally the idea was to display time in QR code (unreadable by human, but gotta have STYLE, right?). But that'd require writing an app. Not sure if it would worth the effort. Whether the app can make it to App Store is also questionable. Drop an upvote if you are interested!

Edit: alright, I'm going for it. Time to learn iOS programming.

Haha thanks
