I'm learning Arduino! Lol all I want is to make one LED flash yellow and blue, but I only have a strip of 7. When I set the number of LEDs to 1, they all just stay yellow. There was no help online, since apparently my question was too simple to even be addressed on YouTube 😅 Heck I'd settle for the whole strip flashing all at once, rather than in a sequence

Ah well, tomorrow I'll go through some longer tutorials I found. At least I did get the one in the middle to flash the way I wanted. I'm also going to go to a local electronics store where they have all the components and just get a single neopixel to use, so the extra ones don't confuse the program.

If you're a normal sort of person, you don't have opinions on spray paint. Feel free to pretend I'm actually talking about something you're very passionate about, such as hot cross buns, the ideal stereo separation, or a true crime murder. Spray paint is available from many brands, and like any consumable mass-market good, a lot of those brands suck.

We've all been there: halfway through a job, only to cock it up because a nozzle clogs, or the can was only half charged, or the friendly instructions forgot to mention that the proprietary chemistry is incompatible with the exact same brand of clear-coat. Now you're stuck there trying to wire-wheel gummy brand-new paint off the thing so that you can redo the entire job. Not only do you look like an idiot, but you're spending more than twice as long to get a worse result.

This is probably why professionals get a full-on spray booth and buy paint only from a trusted supplier, mix it themselves, and spray them with commercial-grade equipment after years of experience. Don't get me wrong, that does sound like a good (if expensive) way to get quality results on your paint coating. However, have you ever talked to a professional painter? Those folks are burned out by 28, after a career of inhaling every synthetic solvent ever made by the same douchebags who invented napalm. I'd rather be trying to hand-bomb this shit in the middle of my backyard during a once-in-a-century wind storm, because I am trying to get it done right now, not done right.

Where is the recourse when Big Spraybomb screws up your weekend? Sure, you could call their customer-service line, but all that will get is, at most, a coupon for more of the same shitty paint that just set fire to your extremely limited free time. I have fantasies sometimes, a beautiful dream of driving down to their offices and spray-painting angry rants on the side of their beautiful buildings in their own product. Unfortunately, I'm positive that I would immediately be beaten by their security guards, and the paint wouldn't last more than a couple of hours.

Removal is no problem; they know the game. All they have to do is gently touch it after everyone is convinced it's dry. Flakes right off.

Cosplay dillema: do I get a black or auburn wig for the Bride of Frankenstein? Black is obvious and recognizable, and what you see on screen. But her actual wig was auburn!

Screen accuracy or actual accuracy..... which to choose

#cosplay life #cosplayer problems #fun fact the wig listings on amazon are TOTALLY DIFFERENT this week than they were last week #it's all shiny halloween crap and hardly a lace front to be found even though i specifically searched for it #last week you find wigs that you could infiltrate a top secret organization with #i think i'll go with auburn... #auburn looks better on me #how could they do this to me? they always announce the halloween spirit week themes the week before #and monday is movie day! #spooky spirit week

The weak relies on the machine for their success, but data corrupts quicker than flesh.

Nothing but an imitation, an echo that can be quickly forgotten in the abyss of silence.

The flesh decays, but rot brings new life.
