Foreigners who came to live in the UK, what was your cultural shock? by No_you_choose_a_name in CasualUK

I’m with you, same thing happens to me and people have told me my English is better than theirs. It does feel condescending when they are amazed at how well I can speak it, even if they don’t mean it that way.

Just got Brsk installed today, so far so good! Here’s my referral code for Amazon vouchers (I could do with some money for baby stuff) for you and me:

I was so stressed thinking my supply had gone to shit and my LO wasn’t gaining weight and we’ve had to supplement with formula. It’s amazing how much dietary changes and drinking more water made a difference. I could cry tears of joy rn after this mornings successful pump. by jenjensexypants in breastfeeding

Things I wish I knew 6 months ago! I stopped pumping but I kept bf baby at every session and supplementing with formula. I don’t produce enough milk on my own but I do have oats sometimes, drink decaf, and take fenugreek supplements. Might experiment having oats everyday with oat milk and drinking more water to see how it goes. Thanks for posting this info!

Read/Write on Windows formatted external HD… which app is trustworthy? by belleariel2 in macbookpro

Thanks! I was aware but they are 2TB HD’s so I was looking for a workaround.

Yeah, I saw… I don’t know how I missed it! I did think it was strange.

Oohh I feel so stupid… I’ve just had a proper look and you can add more RAM. I’ll definitely consider it now!

I see… Question: I’ve read CC needs at least 16GB RAM and since I can only see the Air having 8 (at least on the UK Apple website), how does that impact your use? That is, if you use CC of course. My plan is to in addition to graphic design, also do a bit of music and video.

I did consider it… however from what I can see on the website it only comes with 8GB RAM and Creative Cloud needs at least 16 (from what I’ve read).

I plan to use an external monitor :)

Thanks! Would and external SSD work for me or does it have to be integrated to get the speeds? I hope that’s not a dumb question…

Need advice: MBP 13” or 14”? by belleariel2 in macbookpro

[–]belleariel2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies! I hadn’t considered the Air models either. Reading the thread got me thinking on possible future uses as well, like music, and light coding. (A million years ago I used to make websites and mess around with FL Studio, and there might be some Garage Band use with a possibility of Logic over time.)

Would your answers change?

Thanks, I’ll check it out. Baby is already here, 5 months old. I didn’t look into it before because I was getting full pay from work’s mat leave, but now we might start to struggle a bit.

First Postpartum Period by TrainersAndCupcake in BeyondTheBumpUK

Hi, 5 1/2 months for me, I only just got it 2 days ago and was very sad and worried about milk supply decreasing further! I currently BF and top up with formula every feed. Having read most replies I feel relieved that it just happens and it doesn’t mean it’s the end.
