Pairing addressable LEDs with a programmable LED controller simplifies hardware and animations. Many controllers run on the ESP32, using Wi-Fi to host browser-based software that customizes patterns and organizes playlists, no coding required. Anyone can flash open-source control software like WLED to an off-the-shelf board, but a prefab controller provides power management and built-in sensor integration to optimize space and simplify wiring. From plug-and-play to completely customizable, the right LED controller will perk up any project!

Americans’ household debt has hit a new all-time high; $18.6 trillion as cracks widen in what economists are calling a “K-shaped” economy.According to fresh data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, borrowing rose across nearly every category in the third quarter of 2025, with student loan delinquencies spiking to nearly 10% and credit card balances hitting record highs. While wealthier households continue to spend freely, younger and lower-income borrowers are falling behind, raising fresh concerns that the nation’s financial resilience is masking deep inequality.Mortgage Balances Rise as Originations Tick UpDepositphotos Photo by ZigicDrazenMortgage debt grew by $137 billion,…

It’s no secret that the best bars in Seville, Spain, double as some of the best old-world tavernas in Europe. Usually decked out in azulejos tiles, these lively watering holes peddle small glasses (cañas) of local beer at breakneck speed to chattering locals. Cruzcampo is symbolic of Sevillano culture in itself.Still, dotted amongst Seville’s rustic bars, lining the Andalucían capital’s snaking cobblestone streets, are rooftop bars with knockout cathedral views, intimate flamenco venues, and haunting late-night religious bars doling out Blood of Christ cocktails as a prefix to Sunday service. If nothing else, it’s a good idea to dip between…

Autumn heightens our senses: a breath of crisp air, the first bite of something spiced, the quiet shift as the sun dips earlier each evening. It’s a season that invites you inward, asking you to notice the subtle details that make a space feel truly lived-in. In my apartment, I subscribe to a strict philosophy: the big light stays off. Instead, the evenings glow with…

I walk carefully through the house, avoiding the creaky floorboard I know intimately. The children are in bed and I am resetting the house. The dishes are washed and put away. I fold a load of laundry and light the candle on the kitchen table. I pick up Buzz Lightyear from my dresser and place him in the toy bin.  We’ve lived here since before we were married, and the number of people who live here has quadrupled since I moved in. I fondly recall the way I would walk past this house, daydream of living here, and then how…

When I started dating again after my divorce, I put together a playlist of sexy songs, including Movement by Hozier and Stay by Rihanna and When I Get My Hands on You by The New Basement Tapes. I still stand by them all. Bonus: It’s an hour and 45 minutes, so you can take your time 😉 Do you listen to music when making out? Some of my friends crave quiet instead. “I want to hear my partner whispering to me,” said my friend L. “I want to hear our bodies. I want all my senses involved during sex; those…

With these methods, you are technically cooking the banana rather than ripening it, and they won’t convert the starches in the same way natural ripening would. But they will tenderize the banana’s flesh and turn it somewhat sweeter.Verdict: For bananas with soft flesh, the microwave and oven methods can’t be beat for speed, but their flavor might be lacking.Another option is to mash the underripe bananas with any eggs in your recipe. Proposed by Stella Parks of Serious Eats, this method takes advantage of the amylase present in the egg yolks. A starch-breaking enzyme, amylase plays a crucial role in…
