perhaps why I despise milk chocolate, and go for the really dark stuff.

Special Dark might be cheap dark chocolate, but it makes fantastic hot chocolate.

[McTraveller]

White chocolate, isn't.

[scriver]

White chocolate is homeopathic chocolate

White chocolate is good. I've noticed that at the stores you'll see something like "white confectionery chips", which try to look like white chocolate but actually aren't.

[scriver]

You mean like the yoghurt covered stuff?

[wierd]

White almond bark != Yogurt coating.

[scriver]

Cool! But how can one know the difference?

[wierd]

They taste very different?

If you mean visually;  yogurt coating tends to be more opaque than white almond bark, which tends to be translucent.

[scriver]

Oh, almond bark is that cum looking shit?

[wierd]

Kinda, but not really.  It depends on what kind of confectioner's sugar they add. (Confectioner's sugar contains corn starch, which is opacifying.  Not all brands contain the same amount of starch, and not all confectioners use the same amount of the sugar preparation, resulting in wide variability in the opacity of the bark coating.  Yogurt coating is always opaque though, due to the casein in the yogurt.)

Ok, this has been something in the back of my mind for awhile now.

I am old greybeard when it comes to computers. Like, I have had my hands dirty fixing these things since the C64 era.  I have some pretty profound retro skills with these things.

Here's the question: 

There's some other retro nerd channels on youtube already,  and I have been toying with the idea of starting my own.  I can get some of those old machines to do some very interesting things-- things other channel operators have not covered.  (or at least, I have not seen them covered.)  Do you think it would be a good idea to cover this kind of thing?  I specifically want to do "Things you can do with hardware that nobody really covers doing."  Things like turning a zsun card reader into a pocket sized torrent box and DLNA server,  or turning a consumer grade NAS box into a full linux mini-server. 

One of the first episode ideas I have in mind was getting a win9x retro games system to boot from an ext2 partition with syslinux and memdisk. 

Would anyone find that interesting?

White chocolate is homeopathic chocolate

Hey, you're a pathetic homo! Not me!

What is this, I don't even??

White chocolate is at least 30% cocoa butter, or it cannot be called white chocolate.  Now, "chocolate" Bark Coating? THAT is homeopathic chocolate.

Why, it's so diluted, it is SURE to taste EXTRA chocolatey!  (insert XKCD here.)

[TD1]

Hrm, perhaps my stab at humour missed the mark. Happens occasionally, don't you know, though it's my personal opinion that I'm usually incandescently funny.

Also, if we're consuming tree bark, I'd suggest willow bark.

[wierd]

No, that's homopathic.   Important difference.
