I've had Gemstone for about 5+ years now and they are great.

I got gemstones about 4 years ago. They have been great. There was even some haggling on the price and they allowed me to pay in a few installments.

They are completely hidden and you can turn on any number, to any colour, to any brightness you want so I'm not sure why there's this attitude that pots are better. I looked at both and for me, gemstones were far and away the best option.

That said, my neighbor put up Govee permanents from Costco. He installed them where his siding meets his soffits and it casts the light more on his house which looks really good. I know he has a background as an electrician so they were a breeze for him to install. Not sure how easy they are for regular folk.

Ahhh, makes sense, then. I grew up there as well prior to my ascension to greatness. It's a pretty limiting quadrant, but when it's all you know it can feel like a full life.

Some like rivers and some like "lakes".

Flexible enough to move my arm down, clasp my hand in a loose fist, then move my arm up toward my head and open my hand? Yeah, I'm flexible enough for that. I'm practically a gymnast.
