      PEANUT HAMPER IS REAL?!

      I mean I know Lower Decks might be canon but I didn’t think that had a precursor.

        I think Lower Decks is canon, at least based on the amazing crossover episode in SNW. Absolutely one of my favorite Trek episodes ever

        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

    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)
