Half of light strand out, then magically came back on

Putting up some Halloween lights. (Assuming this is allowed here?). Plugged them in and half were lit, while the other half was out. Went off to get some other decorations and work on a few things. Came back, and now the full strand is lit, minus one single light. I didn’t do anything to them between when I left and came back.

Any idea what would cause this? Any cause for concern with the strand? Not trying to have these malfunction and catch fire or something.

Where can I find colored bulbs for this set of string lights?

Do they sell colored bulbs for string lights? Are they universal?

I have this light set. I’d like to see about getting some different colored lights to rotate for different holidays.

What am I doing wrong?

Have had this Merten and Storck pan for a couple months. Use it a couple times a week to do one egg. It came pre-seasoned and eggs slid right off early on. Eggs have been gradually sticking more and more with each use. Cooking process has been the same.

After the first time it started to stick, I cleaned off, wiped with oil, then let it go on high heat till it was done smoking.

There aren’t any pieces of food left. Surface is smooth as I run my fingers over it.

Why the vast difference in recs for sliced chuck roast?

Would like to try smoking a chuck roast to slice. I’ve seen anywhere from 180 to 200+ on the cook temp, and it’s all for sliced, not pulled.

From what I gather, amazing ribs is a source that a lot of people swear by. He goes to 180 for slicing.

Others here have had success slicing after cooking to 203ish.

Am I supposed to scrub off stuff after each use or is it left behind to build up seasoning?

New Merten & Storck pre seasoned pan. I’ve done eggs about a dozen times so far. They’ve been great. No sticking whatsoever. I did a sausage patty over the weekend. Today I did an egg and it stuck a bit over those small brown spots which were new after I did the sausage.

I didn’t scrub it completely off after cooking the sausage because I thought these little things were supposed to stay behind to help start building a patina layer. I did try to scrub off today with a paper towel but no success getting it off.

Should I try to get that off or just keep cooking on it?

Help finding the proper individually controlled led light strip that comes in a ready to go kit. Does it exist with more lights closer together?

I recently purchased this kit above. It does what I want it to do, sort of. This kit comes with the lights, power source, and internal controller (I’m assuming it has some sort of internal controller). And I can control through an app. My issues with this one:

The lights are very spaced out leading to not much light

It can only be controlled in segments (every 3 lights)

Does a similar kit exist that have much more lights per strip that are closer together? And also the ability to control each light individually? Although I guess segment is fine if they were much closer.
