Re: Nothing In Particular

Had another go at making Polish potato pierogies, this time with Twarog cheese. However despite more salt and spices (garam massala and half a Korean pot noodle spice sachet), the filling is still quite overwhelmed by the flavour of the pastry. Needs more work?

Re: On My Bench.

Ah I remember poking about in old boards like that, trying to figure out what does what. A fellow sixth former who knew more about it than me, I used to drive him nuts asking what does this do? How does this work? And what does this do? And how does this work?

Re: General health matters.

Went to give a blood sample for PSA test at midday. If there's a problem, they''ll let me know. If not, they won't! :shock: Well that's what she said.

Re: On My Bench.

Google 'tantalum capacitor vs electrolytic'

Quite interesting. Apparently tants can be more prone to failure. ESR and leakage can be good, but may be non-linear over a frequency range.
