Chocolate Legos are not that bad of an idea really.

[IanKennedy]

Can you imagine the mess when you hold then in your hand for too long?

[McAvoy]

If it's the soft kind of chocolate.

I've never met chocolate that doesn't melt when heated. Humans are exothermic in nature and quite warm. I've never met a chocolate I couldn't melt.

Yeah. In the summer I gotta put it in the fridge to stop it from melting. Making anything out of chocolate like Lego bricks or teapots is a recipe for a messy disaster.

The engineer in me says anything containing cocoa derivatives counts as "chocolate" so one could make a chocolate by suspending some cocoa in edible crystalized isomalt. The result should be resilient to high temperatures and impact.

Except... not really. Technically, white chocolate isn't even really chocolate. The term "chocolate" refers to a confection made with what is known as chocolate liquor, which is cocoa nibs from a cacao pod ground until they are liquefied, along with the fat from the cacao pod which is generally known as cocoa butter (and usually sugar and milk solids.)

... and only if the engineer ignored what I actually said. Which is that "I've never met chocolate that doesn't melt when heated". You hypothetically inventing one doesn't mean I've ever met it.

I swear, learning how to drive slowly and cautiously really isn't that hard. I've learned how to do it!

[McAvoy]

Should make a thread about driving pet peeves...

That's a right good idea!

Well, up to roughly 18" of snow (drifts up to approximately 30") here in central Jersey and still coming.

Stay safe and hunkered down, Mikey!

[McAvoy]

About the same here too in the Freehold East Windsor area.

They say it's been 31 inches so far here. Feels like more. Luckily it isn't the sticky sort of snow and there's some wind, so we aren't having limbs knocking out power like everyone was worried about.
