My father could never approach my collection of cables though
I’ve had unopened packets of cables become obsolete.
I have a few of those. I feel bad for them. they must wonder what life could have been. One day I’ll find a peripheral that fits them and they’ll go on the adventure of a lifetime.
I still have a USB-A adapter for my OG Motorola Razr’s proprietary port (the flip phone, not the Android device). I used to install custom ringtones for free and mod the outer display to do more than just display the Motorola logo and show the camera input for selfies; I forgot exactly what the mod did, it’s been over 20 years but still I was the only one I knew who did stuff like this. Everybody else was calling the phone number in the commercials and paying 99¢ for ringtones… Suckers.
Anyway enough with this ADHD-fueled tangent; point I’m making is that surely this cable will come in handy again someday, right? Right?
Is this how a house slowly lose integrity? Because each time things get unscrewed one less screw go back in?
Don’t ever ask a mechanic about their but and bolt collection of this is the kind of thing that keeps you up at night.
Instead of screws, you just have 5 bags of wires that you definitely will need some day.
You never know when you may need a VGA cable!
Literally just had to spend like $40 on the only VGA cable I could get on short notice. I used to have a box of 50+ new in package cables I got from a surplus auction for half that cost 20 years ago. Still had half or more left from old contracts. Should never have recycled those…
Keep your old cables.
I had to spend $20 on a replacement PHONE cable recently. I thought i had a couple spares, but didn’t. And nobody carries them anymore. I finally found a store a 20 minute walk away and he semsed my desperation.
My box of computer and peripheral adapters is biding its time, don’t bet against it!
You must defeat him in a series of screw based challenges and you shall inherit the screws. It has been this way since the dawn of man.
Choose to think of it as a positive; you’ve been better at making sure things are properly screwed in and aren’t ending up with vast collections of “extra” screws.
Screwed.
It was a riddle, right?
