That's a good thought, I always think of programable LEDs but simple lighted EL wire would work quite well. The battery compartment would be much larger.. With a good head of hair a hair clip could hold the battery mostly invisibly. There would be the issue that part of the collar separates to put it on so light the front 2/3s would be easy but if you want it all the way around that would have to be added after putting it on and you would lose (or have to peel it off) it when it comes time to take the collar off.

You can introduce someone to this lifestyle/activity choice/whatever you want to call it. They can feel something stir inside and want to explore more or they can find it revolting or they can decide to participate to make you happy. Sometimes that last one is enough but in the Dom role you really want someone who feels that stirring inside - because in the end they need to be running the show and hopefully putting in some time and effort thinking of ways to really explore that new stirring inside them.
That stirring inside is not something you can give them - you can introduce them to it but then you have hope to to see that evil grin appear as they start to think of the possibilities ahead.

Thanks! I used a laser for the cuts and it was a lot of trial and error to get the connection points working properly. My main problem was the edges would flair out and sometimes break at the connection points. The solution was to have the connectors shaped so that instead of pushing out they instead pulled in which made it even tighter and the flaring out at the edges went away.

You mentioned the Suzuki Cappuchino. They don't sell them in the US but I saw one the other day that someone had imported and was also curious what it was and snapped a few photos as I drove by (I don't see cars smaller than my Miata often!). It had only had two lights in the back so if that is what you saw it was a modified one. Cute little buggers!

Thanks!

Hmmm.. I've done some bracelets with light. The thickness of the collar is exactly right for some light strips along the inside but you would still have to deal with bulky batteries somehow. In the bracelets I hollowed on the backside for a small Arduino and a battery underneath (it was not plexiglass!) For the collar all that stuff would need to be in the back out of sight... maybe doable, I'll have to fgive it some thought
AFringePlayer
Its plexiglass. All the edges are rounded. I do have to be careful putting the pieces together or taking them apart (it takes a bit of pressure to seperate them) but once in place it holds very well.
AFringePlayer
HI. It was done on a CO2 laser, 6mm Plexiglass sheet. The piece with the inner connectors is cut a tad larger that the connector with the out piece so that there is no spaces inside. The shape pulls in the edges to keep it tight and to keep the edges from flaring out. The small circles match up to keep the orientation correct. You could flip the pieces and they would fit but because the laser does not cut exactly strait down (it is at a slight angle) the fit would not be as good over time.
AFringePlayer
Correct! not a 38k machine though! 100 watt CO2 laser running at 60%

How is this "Mazda" ?? It is five car dealerships repainting the cars, making yellow covers for the keyfobs, and replacing two parts with yellow parts. How is this considered a limited edition?

The 1.5 was never available in the US, just the 2L
AFringePlayer
yes, and still have it along with the cd attachment that amazingly still works as well. I always held out hope better games would come out. I liked tempest 2K (even bought the soundtrack CD), Aliens vs predator, Iron Soldier, Rayman, Raiden, and Ultra Vortek. Disappointed with Defender 2000, attack of the mutant penguins, and MIssle COmmand 3D, and embarrassed by Checkered flag and Trevor McFur.
I was never able to get Baldies, Primal Rage, and Battlesphere but wanted too!
Had a few games my girlfirend at the time liked: Myst and Zool 2
There were a few other games we played but nothing great. I understand why it failed.

If we can't drive with the top down we drive something else, its only for unexpected emergencies (rain) and if we can't find suitable shade when we park.. This is our first year and I originally thought it would be sitting in the garage six to eight months of the year. This has proven not true, with the seat warmers and heater we have been fine in the 40s and up.. As for heat if the sun is not shining directly on us then there really is no max. If the sun is shining we still take it for short jaunts.

I figured it out after posting. Match 80 takes the best 3rd place from a set of groups (including E so ecuador) so they are not available for Match 81. the best remaining 3rd place team from groups B/F/I/J (with E being taken) would be Bosnia.
AFringePlayer
Does that not include Ecuador? They are now ahead of Bosnia and in group E

It isn't about falling asleep during the movie, it just the lates catalyst to the lack of intimacy problem.

I returned them. The sound was ok (not super - bass was weak). The main problem was the bluetooth. It connected ok to my phone but for my pc it would do a disconnect/reconnect every 10 minutes. I have not had that issue with any other headphones. The range was the second best of any I have tried and the mic was good but the disconnects made them unusable.
AFringePlayer
I ordered the Ortizan Open Ear Headphones - a little bit different, supposed to have decent base (air conduction) all the other specs looks good. The design might leak sound. They are supposed to arrive today so I'll report back and check out VV6 ENV headset.

Hi, I am in the same boat. The SHO3 has been my go-to for a few years and I am on my last pair. I also use these for work (I work at home, spend a good part of the day in zoom meetings). I have been looking for a replacement for something similar. I have tried a few. Here is what I have found so far:
Kinovo BTH220 - Not quite as comfortable but not bad. The main weakness for these is the bluetooth has no range (that is what finally killed it for me - I could run to the bathroom while on a call as the connection drops). The side buttons are not as easy to use when they are being worn.
Kinvo BTH240 - Very similar to the BTH220. It also has a very very bright blue light that blinks and keeps my partner awake when I wear them while in bed. I had to put a piece of electrical tape to block it out. microusb instead of usb-c, also suffers from short bluetooth connections which killed it for me.
Soundbot SB221 - They are comfortable (not as good as the SHO3 but close). Still using the mico usb, buttons better than the kinovos. Bluetooth range is much better than the Kinvos. What killed this one for me was the microphone. I had multiple complaints about voice quality while on business calls. Never had one with the SHO3...
All of those three fold similar to the SHO3 and have similar sound so if you don't care about bluetooth range or the microphone quality they may be a suitable replacement.
On my list to try next: "itayak behind the head headphones" - (there seem to be a few with this exact design it seems to be the same pair sold as RTUSIA which revies shows the microphone is garbage) after that I don't see many options to try, may have to got to an over the head design or something else.

for your friends: "Oh my gosh! Look at you saying a totally original thing for the 57th time in a row!" or "Hey, no problem with the comments but can we at least keep it original?" - you have to say it very friendly-snarky then immediately move on so they feel the shame with no other notice given.
For random people in their big trucks or muscle cars: "I wanted a big truck but they said my disk wasn't small enough"
Honestly I've been waiting for comments (only an owner for a month) but so far all comments have been positive. One guy in a parking lot yelled "Hey! Get out of my car!" the rest have just been things like "That looks like a fun car!" oh it is!

I've done something similar coming into Los Angeles from Buenos Aires - my original stop was Boise and they were routing me through Houston and making me spend the night. Stopping the flight at LAX (removing the last two hops) was actually 400 more per person. Instead we grabbed our bags at LAX since they make you recheck them anyway and bought a 79 dollar ticket flying direct to Boise.
I didn't know the airlines frowned on it at the time and we had zero problems. I'm guessing if I did it regularly on one airline I would face some consequences.
