anyone who knows Polish: how exactly do you pronounce paczki

we just know them as those delicious things you get around mardi gras time that aren't king cakes, but no idea how to pronounce them

I don't know *why* i find it so interesting but i find it fascinating that Indian English uses the word "doubt" to mean "question"--as in, "ask a doubt" instead of "ask a question"

I don't know why that particular grammar quirk has happened but it's a weirdly interesting one. maybe just interesting because we encounter it a lot; there's a lot of Indian people doing things in electrical engineering so you see online reference material written in Indian English a lot

mental image i just had for no apparent reason:

person picking up a small synth dragon, petting them and commenting on how cute they are
synth dragon: [indignant beeping]
person puts them down
synth dragon: "no keep doing that"

we were recently reminded of this random game we played a decade or so ago that had unexpectedly good music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtjveWi0Hb4&list=PLajKQSBOo4K0SxDXctys5BrMfcduO0iOu&index=5

@owashii@plush.city sorry, i didn't mean to upset or anything... just kinda think power supplies are neat things (they were our focus when doing a master's degree)

judging by these frozen meatballs being basically perfectly reheated, i assume yes
-F

i mean of course if it was actually running at 70% power it would, but microwaves don't work that way, they just cycle the magnetron on for 70% of the time and off for 30% of the time
-F

if something says to reheat it for some length of time in a 700 watt microwave, and you have a 1000 watt microwave, does running it at 70% power give the same result, I wonder?
