Oh, so I suppose all your server rooms and IT closets have well organized cables?

Suddenly I have a theory of where the Borg assimilated their cable management abilities from.
Anyone looping cables around is bad at cable management. You double over, triple over, or quintuple over the cable, then tie the wad in a loose knot of its self. This creates a bundle that doesn't randomly unravel, and can be undone and unwound with much less chances of tangling.
Not sure what you mean, but there are generally two preferred methods of bundling a loose cable with minimal risk of damage to it. The standard spiraling coil and the over-under coil. Both have different uses and they both keep it tidy while never going under its bend radius limit.
For tidying an already in use cable, depending on its type/usage and without trimming it, you would either use the over-under coil or fold it over itself. If you need to fold it over itself, you would try to make each fold as long as reasonable, while keeping the ends of each fold loose enough to be above its minimum bend radius. (eg. Cleaning up cabling in a shared raceway with ethernet and AC power)
Sharp bends tho.
Hey man go easy on him he can’t see the cables
I hadn't even thought of this. Apparently it gave him terrible headaches too, because they screwed the damn visor into his head. Crazy. Poor guy.
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I can't not think of Peanut Hamper.
Her and Nanmo.
PEANUT HAMPER IS REAL?!
I mean I know Lower Decks might be canon but I didn't think that had a precursor.
Lower Decks is nothing but references, all the really weird aliens you see are generally Animated Series aliens, like the triarmed guy running the ship to The Farm or the lady with three segments that can float free of each other
Oh, I envy you.... taking these first steps into a new frontier
I think Lower Decks is canon, at least based on the amazing crossover episode in SNW. Absolutely one of my favorite Trek episodes ever
There is nothing in LD that isn't some form of throw back.
How in ...? Holy shit. I am so in awe of those writers. Now I gotta go back and rewatch all of TNG. Some day I will get all the references... Could take decades.
I'm at the end of season 6 (of 7), after as many months because I don't binge very well :-) LD inspired me to do it. When I got to the exocomps I shouted PEANUT HAMPER out loud
