You know the -ism about having to rotate a USB-A plug at couple of times before it goes in? Well, IRL have a USB-A cable that I have to rotate exactly once. Never 0, never more than once. Exactly once, every time. If I try to cheat it and pre-rotate it before the first time, I still have to rotate it. Exactly. Once.

I'm certain it's simply magic; there's no other explanation for it. Sure, I can visually check and make it go in the first time -- it's not that kind of magical. It just... blindly, always, reliably, only inserts exactly the second time.

I had no other place to post this. I don't know what it portends, or otherwise means. I just had to tell someone about it.

Unless your USB port is upside down. :)

Or sideways. Or facing downward on the back of a monitor. Or the device is upside down.
