I prefer Takachi enclosure. Some of their plastic is translucent so your LEDs will shine through the enclosure. You can see an example here: https://hackaday.io/project/6357/gallery#67d3556e38f0b46c486...

During allergy season my eyes are always on the verge of tearing up. Then even mildly enthusiastic conversations will cause my eyes to fully tear and that makes me feel emotional. It is embarrassing and often leads me to abruptly end conver

This makes some sense, but if it were true then simplistic right-wing societal beliefs would appeal more to young people (e.g., the poor are lazy,homeless people are losers who drink too much, etc.). Then as one ages we would become more ce
