Finest use of the word "twat" in the history of the English language.

I'm doing really well, thank you! If you have any questions that I could maybe help with, don't hesitate to DM me, or invite your husband to do so.

I'm glad this account exists but I can't bring myself to press Like.

Finally, the fact that you're opening up on here and taking advice is an act of love for your husband that you should be proud of. I hope you both get through this as soon as his condition allows.

I then went through the same process again from the other side with my mum, and it was hard but I had learned the value of patience by then. (...)

He may be frustrating. Be as patient as you can. My wife was very patient with me, and I'm very grateful for that even though I probably failed to show it at the time. (...)

Get him to try scheduled snacks. One Lindor chocolate every hour, on a timer - it's hard to argue with that, but it adds up to hundreds of calories per day. (...)

Encourage him to try different foods, and not just ones he knows he likes. I discovered that I could eat trifle without feeling sick and without finding it off putting (so I ate a lot of trifles!) (...)

(I've been there, and everyone's different but here's my experience)

It depends on the specific drugs, but many take several days to take effect, and some can make things worse for a few days before they make things better. Stick with it, and stick with him. (...)

Yes. It's not perfect, but it does a better job than you might expect. (Plus it stops trackers etc., which might be up your street.)

I know it's not the point, but try Brave.

I understood "This is an absolute disgrace" and I'm pleased that the writer showed such self-awareness.

Being honest, probably a combination of inertia and undervaluing my products. If I saw someone else doing it, I'd give them a lecture. Not great, now that I see it written down. πŸ˜€

Sadly, the people producing "AI art" believe that they are doing exactly that.

Because when the BBC was making all its own shows, there were no such problems, right?

Not just new languages. If AIs repeatedly make the same understandable mistakes when dealing with an existing language (and I mean niche languages, not C# etc) then we should question whether real people are making the same mistakes, and consider changing the language to make those "mistakes" valid.

Tonight was when I learned the origin of Half Man Half Biscuit's line "Me and my girl, seal clubbin' / Me and my girl, out on the ice" after 40 years.
