But also! I uh like my forearm tattoo.

yep, can recommend

before/after

oh no not again

bot-tan not taking the bait on this one i see

nice!!!

(also i wanna go karaoke with you hi hello)

yes i am thinking about this instead of the cultural rubicon that got crossed this weekend

they’re ‘non-dimmable’, but it turns out they dim just fine when you give them 19-22V (they’re 24V strips). I foresee a power brick, log pot and an LM317T in my future.

(I want to use some as work lights, and having a proxy for their likely CRI helps judge how useful they are to me.)

everyone gets a brick each

oh no i think im both

maybe risky; makes face seem wider, i feel. a rougher/choppier edge might work better? idk!

quite a bit, actually
