So, most the kids' homework is online this year.

Alec has a "reverse classroom" where you watch the lesson at home and do the work in class and the teacher is there to ask questions...

Anywho, I have to enable plugins for Talia's online workbooks to work then disable them for Alec's videos.  Real annoying. (yeah, multiple profiles, gotta set up, I know, just discovered the issue)

Chocolate craniums are desserts to die for
CNET CBS
By Bonnie Burton  13 hours ago



Alas, poor Yorick... looks delicious! Black Chocolate Co.



This Halloween, scare your guests with anatomically correct chocolate human skulls from Black Chocolate Co. on Etsy. Moulded from a real human skull, these handmade Belgian chocolate treats look so realistic that you might creep yourself out while snacking.

Created by UK-based Black Chocolate Co., the life-size chocolate skulls come in four different flavors: dark chocolate, chilli chocolate, caramel chocolate and milk chocolate. Each skull contains 1.5kg of quality Belgian chocolate and may contain traces of nuts.

The skulls are hand-cast, which gives each one an individual appearance with various cracks. "Some skulls may show evidence of chocolate bloom, an inherent part of the casting process which does not affect the chocolate in any way, and only adds to the skull's gnarly, 'fresh from the ground' look," Black Chocolate Co. stated on its Etsy page.

The skulls are dusted in fine cocoa powder in a sterile environment and are edible for up to six months when kept in a cool, dry area -- but not in a refrigerator.

The skulls are currently priced at $113.92/£68 (AU$120 when converted), plus shipping and handling fees. And if you don't want to nibble on a chocolate cranium, you can display the skull in a cool and dry area. "It will practically keep forever," Black Chocolate Co. said on its Etsy page. "We have one kept in a glass box on our bookcase."

"It is a beautiful piece and my wife couldn't bring herself to eat it. It's now under a glass dome next to our mummified bat," Etsy user David Gravenmier wrote in his review.

Whether you decide to nosh on the skull or use it in a tasty rendition of Hamlet, orders must be in at least three weeks in advance of Halloween to arrive in time to frighten your guests.

Interesting mold technique on those chocolate skulls.  Would think something more akin to the hollow easter bunny technique would be easier.

There's no public school in your area, or is it because they go to a private/alternative school?

Also, school also starts in september in the USA?

This is public school.

I see.

Since 'homework' is done at school then (at least for your son), I assume kids are not fulltime at school?
I mean, they're not supposed to watch all the online lessons during normal off-school hours, don't they?

[Unorthodox]

It's only his math class doing that reverse class crap.  You get the math lesson at home, then help from the teacher in class.  Talia's has severely toned down since the first week, don't know if that first week was just to get the kids acclaimated to using a computer, or if there were complaints.

Looks like they HAD to have used something like a flexible silicon mold for that to work at all - so why the seam?

[Unorthodox]

Food rated silicone is less flexible than some others, and if it's hollow as I assume, that limits the pressure you could exert to get the thing out.  I think the mold pours from the rear, and opens something like a banana from the back to get no seams on the face.  the seam along the zygomatic process would let you keep that area hollow, I bet there's one on top and bottom too.
