@monorail Again, a multimeter can also identify the leads for you.

You're sure you can't tell which side is the anvil on them? We've never seen LEDs that you couldn't, though some you needed a microscope.

@monorail A twist tie would make more sense.

@monorail Well, you need to show what contacts are switched, and the layout of the mounting holes.

I didn't know you could get those tactile buttons with a ground lead.

@monorail We never had a mnemonic, just remembered it as black, brown, rainbow, gray, white. With the non-rainbow colors being in order of increasing lightness.

@scoliwings@scalie.business Careful you don't cut your tongue off!

@monorail Multimeters are far more useful than you might think, for more than just resistors. I would recommend getting one as soon as possible; if you do much with electronics it won't be a purchase you regret.

@monorail Oh! You should probably get one if you do anything with electronics. We could recommend ones to you if you have a price range--though if the price range is under $20 or so, they're all going to be about the same, very bad, quality--but good enough for measuring resistances and such.

@monorail If you're unsure, measure one with a multimeter.

@monorail This could be 220Ω±1%, but it could also be 10kΩ±2%, depending on the order you read the bands--red/red/blk/blk/brn or brn/blk/blk/red/red. I would guess the former is more likely, because we don't see many 2% tolerance resistors.

@JulieSqveakaroo *offers gentle hugs* It's always hard.

@monorail Happy birthday, Holly!

It's hard to paint one's claws as a fire-type. For some reason no company puts temperature ratings on their nail polish.

@ashiinu@snouts.online Weasyl may not be as popular but it's far from dead.

@fluxom_art Necks are overrated, anyway.

Went to the grocery store and the total was $33.33.

I just felt that was worth mentioning.

Goodnight, fediverse. At least to those parts of it that are in timezones where it's currently night.
