Mar 29, 2026 3:51 PM

One of five boxes i have to sort out. This one is the worst.

Not the best way but I leave future me to figure it out.

The one i will have to dispose of. There was even a sock and a plush among the mess...

Only non working or broken cable were thrown out. I kept some of the less common connectors, in case of ^^

My neighbor needed a micro USB cable for a keyboard. I had a micro A and a micro B I gave him. I forgot that they made a micro A and a micro B until i checked my cable stash.

I did this the other day and netted useful cords -
power and usb ones were a nice small reward -
for the tedious work that kinda left me bored

Yeah I rediscovered a couple thing that might be useful in an upcoming project. But man, it is boring indeed.

That's rough. I hope nothing important was lost.

How would I even know? Next time I need a cord, I'll always wonder if it was in that drawer.

Are you effing nuts? The moment you throw them away you are going to need to recharge your Nokia.

I kept all cable that were still functioning even when I didn't have the device anymore ^^

I'm pretty sure, from experience, that past me and future me hate present me. Past me keeps setting me up for failure, and future me can't believe how lazy and selfish I am toward them.
