Yes Sir, specifically "Chocolate Spiced Rye Whisky" - Here is the blurb on it

Often, Canadian bootleggers would blend, age and transport Whisky in used cocoa barrels — after all Canada is famous for having invented the world’s first wrapped chocolate bar! The leftover cocoa husks would infuse the smooth rye with rich, warm chocolate flavours, creating something unique and delicious. 

And a nice couple drinks that can be made with it (though I tend to drink straight up)

😮 🍻 can't wait for the border to re-open. Looks like Nov 8 is when it re-opens. Party at Rob's!

So, the Canadians invented the chocolate bar. Interesting. :O)

In America, Milton Hershey is famous for Hershey's chocolate. The town of Hershey, PA, is named after him.

Is it worth the upgrade from Windows 10?

@Atari 5200 Guy. Just seeing this, well you hear different things from different people. It's for ME but then I am always on the most recent updates and Widows version, my experience on several machines has been great personally, there are the minor teething problems of any new version of Windows so if you are good on 10 there is nothing earth shattering or life changing you would notice. For me, I know it's the future of Windows so typically I jump right in, get used to it, customize and tame the OS the way I like to work etc. 

Yes.  I'm happy with 10 and I've not had any issues from the OS.  For me, it's been the best Windows version I've ever used.

Maybe someday I'll make the switch to 11...but not now.

Hi @MaximumRD, it's funny you say that!! Sunday is typically laundry / 8-bit Nintendo day for me as well. Laundry can be too quiet for me, almost like meditation or swimming under water. I decided doing laundry would be a nice time to listen to some good podcasts. I clearly remember one Sunday in 2009 you recommended that I check out the Retroist Podcast, that I would enjoy it. This was around the time that I had the YouTube videos, usually with an 8-Bit Nintendo game over my shoulder on the TV set behind me. I started listening to The Retroist regularly, and Sunday turned into a "treat" I would look forward to. After a while, that became a big inspiration for me to create Atari I/O and the Forums.

Awww nice! thanks for sharing JUSTIN. 

My wife and I drove to the beach just for the day yesterday.  Our goal was to relax and avoid people as much as possible, and we succeeded.  We packed a picnic lunch, found a nice picnic table by the beach and had a wonderful time.  We went to a more secluded location where we knew there wouldn't be crowds.  Interestingly, we drove by the most popular beach in Oregon and it was very crowded.  

Today's plan is to be at home and try to stay out of any drama or trouble of any kind.  Relaxing is important!  

It would kind of take the Grand Theft Auto genre to a higher level. 

My first thought but I doubt it as I could only find the Justifier Gun as compatible with Lethal Enforcers, plus the gun seems to plug right in the controller port where as the Super Scope has it's own sensor, I am sure it would have been mentioned somewhere in my searches if it were so simple, if that were the case no doubt most would just choose the gun! THAT ALL SAID, I WILL STILL TRY IT LIKELY AT SOME POINT BECAUSE I'M SILLY LIKE THAT.

Good point.  I forgot the super scope was a little different. 

Always found the idea of the Scope odd, like, being Nintendo and obviously shooting games but was the idea Its totally not a GUN ! Nope, NO GUN, IT'S A SCOPE! A SCOPE I TELLS YA !" 😆🤷‍♂️

Maybe it's just me, but I don't recall a lot of accessory controllers on the SNES.  Super Scope is the only one I can think of.  I wonder if your pistol works with the super scope games too.

I agree! Always thought they could've done more with the Konami Justifier, and even more so with the Super Scope Six!

Looks good.  Cheers.

Yes, that's pretty bad. A couple of years ago (I think) when we had the smoke and soot from the BC fires make their way to Puget Sound, it looked like straight out of the apocalypse. I thought it was snowing in the summer, and it was ash.

Do you guys have an air purifier inside your apartment?  I have a couple of little desktop units in our house, and they work very well when the wildfire smoke gets really bad.  They are "HEPA" rated, but the nice thing is that the filters can just be vacuumed and re-used.  I have such terrible allergies, and those things really help in keeping the air clean. 

And PS - how is your eye?

Beautiful sunrise, I hope they get the fires under control soon. I always love when you share personal videos like this @MaximumRD

Thanks guys, the eye is better mostly but the original eye issues and source of problem still not really resolved, trying to stay calm and deal with it daily. It is frustrating.

It's not too late. 

A few weeks ago, I was a chaperone for the high school senior graduation party. I was assigned to the Gold bus. When we were ready to leave, I stood up and said, "Gold Leader standing by" 🤣 Only the other chaperone appreciated my Star Wars reference 🤣

Suggestion:  Become a Zamboni driver.  You could say "Stay Frosty" after every session. 

Eek…

Well, I think you will be OK. That does look painful. Take care. :O)

I hope it clears up soon! On the bright side, you have instant special effects for your next video!

Thats nasty 🤢

I'm sorry, man.  Seems perfectly normal to feel as you do.  Aging is just a series of one indignity after another, isn't it? 

Don't worry too much, I'm sure all will be well.  And hopefully you'll be able to see better after it's done. 

Good luck!  I'll be sending good vibes your way. 

Thanks so much, I avoided Googling as you know that tends to bring the most horrific results to the top BUT I am glad I did as the articles I read seem to indicate a painless procedure for the most part, a topical applied to the eyelid for freezing so the draining is painless. From what I read their can be minor bleeding due to eye structure so most of the annoyance or discomfort is after the procedure and the healing process but I can deal with that, normal recovery type stuff I am fine with, considering all I have gone through with my eyes the last several months that is the least I am worried about but I am relieved some about the initial procedure now. I will be glad when it is over with. 

Hope everything went well!

Edit - never mind 🙂 I missed your update

good looking capture -- low light without all the grains

How do you like it?  The big question will be, is it fully compatible with Windows 10 & drivers, etc... I am going to wait and see how well it is received...

Well, on a consumer level you are best to wait until it’s officially released rolled out as an update, it is an early release not meant for consumer use, nobody is advised to install this as their daily driver let alone update to it at this time. It’s for tinkerers like me to fiddle with but that said everything seems fine so far, no hiccups, it is really just the look/design/layout so far, literally Windows 10 with a new skin. Still, seems snappy, using little resources, personally I like it so far. I think it will be a while before anyone sees any real new features or changes to the core. 

Already got it looking and behaving more the way I prefer.

I have another friend who had the same thing happened.  Quick flash of symptoms about 5 days after the shot. 

I hope you feel 100% quickly.  I say it's worth it.  For me, it was about the same as the Shingles vaccine.  Just a day of feeling slightly flu-ish. 

First shot 5 days ago - UPDATE : Well after this I slept for like 12 hours, got up a couple times to pee, considered getting up half way but thought well, I will just lay down again and see what happens and yeah seems I needed more 😆so roughly 12 hours sleep but I think I am back to my usual self now, no more brain fog or out of sorts, just needed proper rest to recover. Hope it's over at least until the next Pfizer follow up shot, 🙂

I hope both of you are getting the rest you need. 

Got a solid 5 hours, then up again, we had a fire drill for our condo, it's yearly, timing is a bitch 😜Sure I will crash again at some point.

Yep, it's been a couple of nights and I'm falling asleep much easier now.

It's been a quiet few days (online) for me.  I cannot bring myself to post another message in the new section.  What fun is it to talk to an empty room, or one where no one replies?  

Doing good.  Too much going on (being my mom's guardian is very time consuming).  Thanks for asking. 

I used love playing Mortal Sin on my EXsorbeo!    Not as titillating as Tonsil Hockey or hard as Morning Missile Crisis.  Good for those moments where you're in the mood for a quick one.
