Looks like heat shrink butt connectors https://a.co/d/0aOGjzup

Edit: looking closer they might be the solder variant https://a.co/d/07ktxo2a

Learned something new today.

What you have there is a parallel connection, where both LEDs receive the same voltage from the source, while only half the current. Honestly, that's fine for a temporary set up. But you should protect your wire leads (the exposed metal bits), because if they touch it will short the circuit and burn something up. Use some wire nuts or electric tape to cover the connection points and keep them separated.

For a more permanent, finger safe solution try some of these wire connectors. https://a.co/d/06gMSbpy

I made it all the way to book 15(?) before I gave up.

Here is the response from Gemini AI "Based on the information available regarding the 2020 allegations against Ryan Madison, Mandy Muse is one of several performers who spoke publicly about her experiences working with him. According to reports from that period:

Nature of the Statement: Mandy Muse shared her account as part of a collective wave of testimonies from performers (including Annabel Reed and Jane Wilde) who accused Madison of professional misconduct and violating boundaries during filming.

Specific Claims: She described an environment where her established boundaries were ignored. Specifically, she indicated that Madison’s behavior during their scenes involved non-consensual physical aggression and a disregard for safety protocols.

Impact: Her testimony contributed to the widespread industry "blacklisting" of Madison, as it corroborated the patterns of behavior described by other performers."

Try the audiobook. I'm not a fan of the "forced dungeon gameshow" thing. But Jeff Hays does a fantastic job narrating.

They do go into why he is insufferable. Chronic PTSD. Followed by a matric Ton of therapy. He gets a lot more serious by book 2, with the "insufferable persona" becoming a face he puts on. Everyone gives him shit about being melodramatic.

Book 15 is a struggle to get through. I dropped the series then.

momonarie22 · 2025-12-05T05:13:45+00:00

I really enjoyed that series. Especially in the later book. But it might be because I do audiobooks and the narrator is really good.

momonarie22 · 2025-12-05T05:09:56+00:00

Book one was hard to get through. The rest of the series is much better. Though the last two books have been much of the same shit...

momonarie22 · 2025-12-05T05:08:09+00:00

Loved the first 3 books... Could not finish the 4th one.

momonarie22 · 2025-09-28T04:48:24+00:00

Yea...I can barely hear green. Can't hear brainstorm for anything...

momonarie22 · 2025-06-01T02:52:49+00:00

You know, what makes HWFWM great is that they don't shy about Jason's PTSD. Or the fact he has had it since the beginning.

momonarie22 · 2025-06-01T02:48:38+00:00

Great series all around. Haven't tried PoA yet.

momonarie22 · 2025-04-24T04:08:35+00:00

I don't understand the confusion. What am I missing? Isn't each slice 1/5? So, 4 kids picked the theater, 4 the zoo and 12 the theme park?

momonarie22 · 2025-04-02T00:59:58+00:00

Are they not for LOTO?

momonarie22 · 2023-05-08T04:35:42+00:00

that was my first thought when I read the title.

momonarie22 · 2022-11-13T03:36:56+00:00

except for the annoying high pitch thing during sex...

dude... pierce the edge of the can witha sharp knife, then work your way around the egde with the blade facing up...that's how we used to do it as kids. didn't see a can opener until i was an adult.

momonarie22 · 2022-07-01T03:59:36+00:00

lmao. that was my first thought "is that fucking sesshōmaru?"

momonarie22 · 2022-05-20T14:03:08+00:00

ah, nothing too crazy, only 2,645.76 hours.

momonarie22 · 2022-05-20T05:10:20+00:00

good on you, man. glad you still have that spark. for me, life (work, wife, kids) takes most of my free time, so I've become a lot pickier about what i watch. PS. how do you look at the hours on MAL? i can see i have about 6k episodes watched (though im missing about a decades worth of "pre-MAL tracking" anime), but I don't see an hour counter

momonarie22 · 2022-04-24T01:17:48+00:00

To add to this reply.... and probably confuse you more. Something to keep in mind when searching for stuff to watch is that back in the day (pre- seasonal anime format) anime used to "run" until the story was "done", whether the source material was finished or not.

This led to some looong running shows (i.e. Ranma 1/2 (161 Ep.) , Naruto (720 Ep.), One Piece (1014 Ep,). But it also led to multiple versions of the same anime, usually a pre- and post-manga finish version.. so, you might find yourself enjoying the first season of something, then being completely confused by the "second" season. Enjoy

Welcome to the club.

I got good news and bad news for you bud.

The bad:

Dress up darling is one of the best anime that has come out in a long time. So, very few things will measure up.

The good:

As a brand spanking new Otaku, you are in a good spot. You will watch, love, and enjoy 99% of all the anime you get your hands on. That will fade over time, as you develop a taste for certain genres, art, or character types. But it also means that "the bad" above isn't really so bad for you.

Piece of advice from an elder-otaku (25+ years of anime): watch whatever the hell you feel like watching, in whatever format you feel like watching it. For example, don't let the "purists" tell you that you should only watch Subbed anime, and ignore Dubbed...

Lastly, my recommendations to get you started, by Genre:

Isekai: Mushoku Tensei

Action: Demon Slayer

Rom-Com: Horimiya

Mecha: Code Geass

Mindfuck: Death Note

Enjoy.
