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.
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!
I have so many vises…
Let’s see, there’s the giant leg vise on the work bench, the big ass 5" bench/pipe vise, the two small bench vises, the workbench with the holdfasts and bench dogs…Plus the pipe clamps, and the parallel clamps, the quick grip clamps, the F clamps, the band clamps, the spring clamps, the hand screws, oh…and the drill press vise mounted to the drill press!
You can never have too much work holding!
now i want a game featuring a magical “vice of holding”, and it’s just a completely mundane vice made of mithril.
You have purchased the correct amount, only going over by an amount reasonable to throw away. It’s not a flaw, its a feature
My late father had one miraculous ability. There were always two pairs of rubber boots in his car trunk. No matter what. He never needed them. Always just got in the way.
I don’t have a car and I’ve used one pair of rubber boots since late 1990s. (Made by Nokia, so, you know, basically indestructible.)
Oh that reminds me I need to get new winter tires. Nokia(n) makes some of the best ones
Is this how a house slowly lose integrity? Because each time things get unscrewed one less screw go back in?
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.
A lot of people think there are just two types of screw - cross head and flat, but when you look deeper you see a whole world of variety: Phillips, Pozi, Robertson, Torx, Allen, etc. etc. the list goes on and each one is valid; and should be respected.
Screwed.
It was a riddle, right?
