Cable jinx! Me to. 😉

That's easy. Stop assuming, and you'll be fine.

There's a lesson here, but darned if I don't know what it could be...

either results in a larger cable stash

Ditto !

Whenever I buy a cable because I need one, it's the wrong one!!🤣

Same with vegetables

lovelyoldtree.bsky.social•131 days ago

The trick is to assume you don't have the cable, and still don't buy one. Remove the mystery from the scenario, then own the failure.

It would be fantastic if companies started nfc tagging cables with their type, supported standards, and length.

Did you install that 20 foot HDMI or is it in the bin? Just wave your phone around. Find out.

I feel the same way about left-handed gonkulator armatures. Thought I was out, bought one, and found three in my other toolbox. Dang! Sad part, forgot what I needed it for... 😳

kennotsosmart.bsky.social•130 days ago

Always do the opposite..

hrvstmusic.com•130 days ago

buy one of every cable ever made so you always have at least one.

Cable gremlins! Did you forget to leave milk out for them overnight?

One guard always tells a lie, and the other guard never tells the truth.

Ha! I thought I was the only one with this problem.

Schrödinger's cable

dbnewtondoors.bsky.social•131 days ago

And if you do have the cable it is always at the bottom of the box and was never stored properly and is snarled with a dozen other odd cables. Cable hell, I live there!

danielmartini.bsky.social•131 days ago

when you don't have a cable - you're wrong

you just haven't searched in the right place
