It was time so I really threw out tons of cables nobody will ever need again and of the rest I kept one or at most two.
Today the obvious happened. One of those cables nobody ever needs again? Well I need one. So I have to buy one for way too much money. Never again, I’ll hoard all the cables from now on and become a Copper Dragon.
Long ago I sorted my bin into two bins - obsolete and not obsolete. Now it’s been so long some of the not obsolete box is becoming obsolete.
Sounds like you need a third bin.
Never give up the dream.
