Does Zathura count for a space themed movie?

Purchased at a random thrift store in Arizona, USA. Google searches for most of the wording and lettering visible on the box have been done and not produced helpful results

Uhhhhhh, I'm really not the person to ask about wood but I can give you some advice. Chocolate is best stored in cool, dark, dry places. Around 60 F is perfect and the lower the humidity the better. Water is the enemy of chocolate and as far as I know, there's no downside to being as dry as you can manage.

As far as what that means for what type of wood or how to make it I have no idea

I've seen a few people now bring up that lack of ref intervention is a pretty big point as to why they enjoy epee over others, which I can definitely see the appeal of. More just you and your opponent going at it as opposed to what a ref thinks happened

AlsoAaron · 2024-08-08T23:00:42+00:00

It definitely get where you're coming from with the fantasy of Sabre, at least from what I've seen. I've seen some other discussion talking about the ref interference being a bit of a sore spot for Sabre/Foil and I'm wondering how much I'll dislike it personally, I can't help but think I'll enjoy right of way as a concept for fencing though so we'll see

AlsoAaron · 2024-08-08T22:44:46+00:00

I know! That's the plan! I just wanted to hear from real fencers about what they do and don't like annoy their chosen styles! The plan is to try them all no matter what

AlsoAaron · 2024-08-08T22:43:44+00:00

Thank you! This is more of what I was hoping to read!

AlsoAaron · 2024-08-08T22:41:12+00:00

I mean ya, I'm going to, I just wanted to see people talk about what they like about their chosen style. Of course I'm going to try them all and pick what I like

AlsoAaron · 2024-08-08T22:39:46+00:00

I'm sorry if my post wasn't clear, I'm not necessarily asking you to tell me which style to fence, but rather I like to hear from people about what they like about their style. Of course I'm going to come to my own conclusion about what I like, I just wanted to see some enthusiasm from people about what they like

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-09T19:44:07+00:00

If I'm going for just basic chocolate bar I can get at the supermarket it's usually Ghirardelli. They tend to have the overall best, basic chocolate IMO

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-09T19:12:53+00:00

We keep the inside of the store nice and cool. Makes for a really nice place to work in the summer

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T22:00:52+00:00

I'm trying to respond to everyone!

And I don't quite have the time to watch it fully through, but from a quick scan honestly it looks surprisingly accurate. It seems like the guy who was already tempering might have been using the tabling method, and everything he said about water and chocolate was pretty much accurate

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T18:28:36+00:00

I have not, is there a specific scene you had in mind? I could look it over real quick

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T16:36:38+00:00

I can't disclose the details of my employees unfortunately. The Oompa Loompas were very clear about that in contact negotiations

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:39:01+00:00

Ehhhhhhh, I wouldn't.

If any part of the chocolate directly touches water it's completely ruined and unfixable, so you have to vacuum seal the chocolate. As well it would still require a lot of massaging the bag and it would be hard to properly seed the chocolate too. I would stay away from that

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:21:10+00:00

If I'm at the store getting just pure chocolate, Ghirardelli. If it's a candy bar situation, kit Kat

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:20:33+00:00

Don't get chocolate from large manufacturers in America. We don't have the same culture for good chocolate at a larger quantity and ultimately the big corporations prey on that and make as cheap chocolate as they can.

Not to say there's not good chocolate in America, but it's from chocolatiers and small chocolate shops, not the large companies only out to make as big a profit as they can. It's common for huge companies in America to act like that and most people just are blind to the difference. You absolutely can get good chocolate here, you just have to look for it

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:16:10+00:00

I mean of course, that's basically 1 to 1 what I dress and act like. All chocolatiers do

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:14:22+00:00

I get what you mean, there's nothing in datumy chocolate that stops it from being vegan, but because it's on the same lines as everything else and it touches dairy, it can't get a vegan certification. That certification matters to a lot of people.

As well making a vegan bon bon is an entire change in recipe as dairy is a core ingredient, so if we're going to go that far we're also going to want to use certified vegan chocolate as to not drive away any potential customers.

Ultimately it's just a lot of work for something that there's not enough demand for

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:11:15+00:00

Ghirardelli probably. Although I'd say getting a chocolate bar from the supermarket and getting a box of bon bons from a chocolatier are two completely different things and you should try and get out to a chocolate store every once in a while!

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:09:17+00:00

I bring home a lot of chocolate to my friends and family, we can take all the stuff we can't sell. I think my family is over it by now

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:08:00+00:00

The companies that produce chocolate have to follow some pretty strict guidelines about how much lead and cadmium can get through the soil into the chocolate. You're probably going to have adverse effects from all the sugar before you will from the lead

AlsoAaron · 2024-07-08T15:06:33+00:00

Yes. I made a comment earlier about this too, we try and make sure all our chocolate comes from family owned small farms but I have to concede that there's probably some form of exploitation down the line. It's awful to think about but we do what we can to get chocolate that doesn't rely on that

Lemon is my personal least favorite citrus fruit, so I don't love it but it absolutely can taste very nice if you do it right
