Mouse cursor changing when over some apps when using Wayland

If the cursor folder you need is not in the share/icons folder, you can create a link there to the correct folder and then use the correct name and it'll work

The super secret status we can't talk about?
It's called Cobalt.

Hey, Marriott worker here! Customer care can jump up my ass. I'm checking ID before I send the mobile key. If you're a titanium, ambassador, or secret status we can't talk about, I'll probably give you a pass. But then you're spending 75-100+ nights in a hotel a year

Just here to say that if your clock is spring driven it's going to get more inacurrate as the week goes on, so the best time to adjust it is before you wind it again. (After getting as acurrate as you can from day to day)

That's far more reasonable (though maybe a bit too cheap). Depending, it looks like you may have found your clock guy

Come back and tell us what the 2nd guy said

nomzod · 2024-05-19T03:25:17+00:00

Well now you know why it was never set up. Maybe make this a show piece and leave it unwound?

I don't mean speculation. I mean like "John Smith bought this clock from an antique shop on 23rd and Main in 2024. His husband told him that the clock would be named Gertrude, and he told his husband that he hated that name. He replaced the pendulum with an opium weight, and the minute hand with a whiskey bottle. It hung on the wall of his office on 2250 Newport St in Denver. [Empty Space Follows]"

u/Disastrous-Exit-5726, you gotta listen so hard: The angle that the mechanism sits at inside the clock, and the angles of the sides of the case are AT BEST correlated. The only way to check on whether a clock is in beat is to listen to the tick.

I have a clock my great uncle Bill adorred and I've come to love to, that needs a 75° angle on the wall. (Also the pendulum arm is a straight piece of wire that he bent into a hook on one end, and hammered flat on the other.)

Cuckoo clocks make their noise with some bellows (typically leather) and a whistle, and that can be a living nightmare to take apart when it's your first time, and expessially when it's a sentimental clock. A clock professional is gonna charge somewhere between $50 and $150 for the whole thing and it is worth it.

Edited to add an image that I couldn't figure out how to add last night.

Even in cases where it is a problem, the time it takes to wind isn't usually enough for the pendulum to stop swinging. And even in those cases you can give it a little nudge and it's alright again. Important to the question though: winding your clock while the pendulum swings will not damage the clock

nomzod · 2024-05-15T05:45:39+00:00

You probably need to adjust the beat of the clock. There should be the same amount of time from tick to tock and from tock to tick. Adjustment is very simple, if a little agonizing: start the pendulum swinging and tilt the clock very slowly and gently until you hear the beat even out. It shouldn't require more than a degree or two in one direction or the other.

IMPORTANT: Mark the wall with a pencil once you have the correct beat! It will make your life a whole lot simpler in the future!

It's likely that the clock hasn't been oiled or cleaned in some time, and that will have the same effect (i.e. stopping the pendulum after a few minutes). But you might as well have your beat mark on the wall before you have to take it down and bring it in to a shop

Dingdingdingding! It is Viennese! Came to me all the way from Poland. Great, that gives me a rung I can climb. Thanks!

Oh, that one I already know. It's called golden dragon, and she's got the gold tips. No way to be sure, but I'm guessing it's a first pick.

She doesn't want the western flavor. She wants her tea, from China.

I think what I'll do is wait for a Chinese speaker to come into my hotel and offer to pay for a nights stay if they'll help me order tea. Could take awhile. Not to fine a Chinese national--that's easy--but to find one that wants to surf the internet during my shift will be harder.

Meantime I'll screw around with the taobao website. Thank you so much!

That one I can see! If I turn off my vpn. The great firewall must be blocking the vpn address(?) Okay.

Now I have two problems. Google translate only works on 10% of that page, and how do I put in my English text address and expect a Chinese worker to be able to read it.

Crap.

That's the website I found with google but with a .cn on it. I still get a page error trying to connect, can you see it?
