Are those zipties? I fucking hate zipties whenever cleaning out old installs. They’re just about always so tight it feels uncomfortable to cut those when youre dealing with fibres or just about anything, really.
I use velcro ties myself most of the times. If I absolutely have to use zipties, I leave then so loose that they’re just guiding the cabling, not choking it.
Just today I cleaned out one +15 years old install and oh boy, multiple zipties there. Awful
They’re just about always so tight it feels uncomfortable to cut those when youre dealing with fibres or just about anything, really.
Exactly. Let’s use a securing mechanism that requires a razor-sharp blade, held perilously close to what you don’t want to cut, in order to undo.

Use dikes, not a knife, and cut the head of the tie, not the strap
Yeah, I’m exactly the same myself.
Also (just the idea of) single use “structural” stuff like that doesn’t appeal to me at all.
Yeah if you never have to be the one to open it up again and pull stuff apart again then sure. But I’m sure as hell not going to cut and redo zip ties the 4-5 times a year I’m in there adding or changing out something.
I think the funniest part of this post is the nightmares people are getting from zip ties.
Just imagine your brain neurones all neatly zip-tied - no more cross-interference!
Is it though? There isn’t one part in the human body that has exactly one specific purpose. Everything is something mushy with basically one main purpose and a ton of side-quests. Almost the exact opposite of what engineers prefer.
Squeezing multiple features into single components? Sounds exactly like what engineers do.
I dunno, eyeballs are pretty much unitaskers. Vision gets used to help reinforce balance, reflexes, and proprioception, but that’s all in the brain.
Teeth might be debatable. Arguably they’re only for masticating food. The debate opens up whether other functions are physiological and so compulsory, social constructs, or neurological things we do instinctively.
With everything else, I 100% agree. It’s all an engineering nightmare to service and troubleshoot.
Um, can you let the engineers know that?
What other functions do the eyes do than seeing?
“Commander Riker has dramatically demonstrated to this court that Lieutenant Commander Data is a machine. Do we deny that? No. Because it is not relevant. We too are machines, just machines of a different type.”
Please. Tell Me those aren’t zip ties though!
Zip ties so tight you know the person installing them pulled each one until all of their neck veins bulged out.
They show up in the worst places. Top offenders are inside A/C units and car engines. Yanno, where there’s lots of vibration to help the little bastards cut through insulation.
Cable bundles like that are not flexible enough to move properly without straining the cables. You have to do concentric twists for that F1/Aerospace quality cable management.
You say such obvious things yet the pics on the link still gave me a nerdgasm.
Thx!
That website is great. Check the links at the bottom lmao. The author clearly has it out for someone.
Cable comb and a vertebrae are literally the same thing. Prove me wrong.
Just need to jam all the cables in there!
God wiring his new creation: … oh yeah I need a cable for the heart … oh yeah, I need a cable to power the lungs … oh yeah, almost forgot, need a cable for the liver … oh yeah, need a cable to control the legs … oh yeah, need some sensor lines for the hands … oh crap, wired the genital sensor lines wrong … oh shit, no more room for the lines for the kidneys, maybe if I wire it this way … shit, need more power lines for the stomach … crap, need more sensor lines here … shit, shit, shit, I need more power lines
shit, forgot to install a valve in the heart … and ofc I now have to take it all out just to get to the heart, right when I got the wiring all nice & neat, ffs
… ah fuck it … I’ll just cover over everything with shrink wrap … no one’s going to see this mess any way … yeah, just cover the entire thing with shrink wrap
Nah man that’s all good copper wire in there rip it out and sell it
no copper in these organic veins
That exactly what a copper vein would say
Going through a DC consolidation project now and the line techs are fucking clean. I’m slightly excited to overnight patch so I can make this place look good.
I think I had that CD back in 2008

Intelligent design. Same with our eyes 🤣 just put them in backwards and thread the cables through the retina; genius. Octopuses are clearly gods chosen “people”.

The intelligent design geniuses argue that the eye is too complex to have evolved.
“Of course it didn’t evolve like that! It started with a patch of light-sensitive cells and worked it’s way up from there. And that’s happened more than once.”
They have to think evolution means that creatures and features popped into existence fully formed. Not only because that’s how the Bible tells it, they can’t comprehend evolution on a 7,000-yo Earth.
You’ve got the killer argument though. “Why didn’t God bother to make our eyes like he did with the octopus?”

The same nerve also exists in giraffes and does the same thing so it is consequently fucking massive.
