Context is a fickle mistress like that. I have deffo overlooked options because the surroundings were different.

I mean, I kinda did post an ad as an example, lol. But it was the most concise video I could find in like 30 seconds of looking! I am in no way shilling for whoever the company was. Any cold shrink brand will be more or less equivalent.
And you're welcome! I do like being helpful in areas I know things about.
In this case they can pass the cost onto the customer. The higher restrictions will always result in higher costs, so they're probably used to it.
Ok, thought so. Another option is gel splice covers. They're a plastic box with waterproof goo in them to cover the connection. This is just one example, but there are plenty. Wago sells some specifically for their splice connectors. There are also some where you mix your own goo, but I've never seen or used them.
Wait... How are you splicing the wires? Crimped butt splices?
Maybe you can get your hands on cold shrink tubing? It's a rubbery tube stretched over a plastic frame thingy. You pull the frame out and the rubber shrinks down. No heat needed.
Jupiter Ascending is, in my opinion, a masterpiece. Bees can sense royalty? Fantastic. The bureaucracy android having to bribe his way through the system he was literally created to navigate? Marvelous. Don't even get me started on the air roller skates. Eddie Redmayne's four million year old teenager was perfection too. Two volume levels: harsh whisper or screaming.
It was marketed as some kind of amazing epic, so people approached it wrong I think. It was a Wachowski film. What were they expecting? I went in there assuming it'd be like their Speed Racer movie, but in space. I was not disappointed.
Second vote would be for Speed Racer, lol.
Only partner Digimon can revert. The natural Digivolution is seemingly permanent. I've never seen an episode where a Digimon reverted without a Digivice involved.
A Digivice is a tool that the human partner has. It's what allows the partner Digimon to access higher forms earlier.
He Digivolves into the next stage, like BetelGammamon, and gets more mature and intelligent. After the fight he reverts back to Gammamon and is like a child again.
Digivolution happens on a set scale:
Fresh -> In-Training -> Rookie -> Champion -> Ultimate -> Mega
Most partner Digimon are Rookies. Their bond with their human partner allows them to climb that ladder.
Edit:
Not all Digimon are as child-like as Gammamon. He is especially young for a partner Digimon. Like, Agumon is also a Rookie, but he's more like a teen or young adult. Gammamon is like a 5 year old. As Digimon age they naturally Digivolve, but most of their cognitive development seems to happen during their In-Training and Rookie stages. Fresh are just babies so they don't really do much.
Just to clarify a bit: Digimon are not pets. They're always treated as friends. Well, in Digimon Ghost Game the main Digimon Gammamon (best boi) is more treated as a little brother. He is very young though, and has the mind and mannerisms of a young child. When he Digivolves he gets more mature, but after fights he's back to young little Gammamon.
The original Digimon Tamagotchi toys weren't super cannon to the lore that got built up in the animes. They were more akin to the Pocket Pikachu in that you were just raising a lil guy.
In the shows, the digital world is a consequence of technology. Kinda. It's accessible via computers and stuff. It is, like, "housed" on the internet, but it's a fully parallel universes (basically). This can change a bit per series (or maybe I'm misremembering).
Digimon live there naturally and have their own wants and dreams. Some are more animalistic in nature and intelligence, but most are sapient and can speak. Some Digimon are a direct result of humanity's thoughts and feelings and are based on real world myths. Others seem to be wholly unique creatures.
In "the wild" Digimon can Digivolve naturally based on their age. This type of Digivolution is seemingly permanent. If the Digimon is paired with a human partner, and there is a Digivice involved, they can attain higher levels without needing to age up, and they can return to their previous state after a time.
The Digivolution track is not linear. What branch they go down depends on a few factors, but is mainly an emotional thing. An angry Digimon will Digivolve into a different form than the same type of Digimon that is happy. In Digimon Adventure 01 for example, Greymon will normally Digivolve into MetalGreymon. One episode he is forced to Digivolve by his partner though, and becomes a much more evil SkullGreymon. When Digimon Digivolve they mostly maintain their memories, but the new forms can sometimes come with drastic personality changes. Kinda like how Ash's Charizard was obstinate compared to the much more agreeable Charmander it started out as.
Are there no 12' skellingtons in the states? My town is filthy with them. I've never felt so safe as I do right now with all these gigantic bone daddies.
