Next you’ll tell me I’m not gonna need those cables. Or that weirdly shaped block of wood leftover from that door installation.
You know that the second you throw them out and they're gone, you're gonna need those exact things to fix something.
I’d rather have the cluttered cable drawer than something far worse: the feeling of shame at paying money for something I discarded and could have already had for free.
I've had people mock me for my cable pile, then comes the day they need some weird obscure connection that hasn't been on the market for a decade, not so stupid now is it my friend ....
It’s not any worse than paying for car insurance. In fact it’s probably a better investment.
I was enjoying a casual thread until this
I still have a FireWire 400 to DV cable.
I no longer have a DV Camera or a FireWire 400 port, but I’m keeping that damn cable.
I've thrown away all but one of each older connector before and just like clockwork, I needed two mini USB later that week. Micro? I was all set. Mini, I thought it was safe now.
Don't let them pressure you! My wife often nags me about my cable drawer, but my tendency to hoard old tech has saved the day more than once.
We once drove halfway across Canada to a wedding, which was at a campground outside of Montreal. As they were setting up for the reception someone in the wedding party asked if I knew where they could get a particular video adapter. I was like, "Oh, I've got one in my bag." I hadn't brought that adapter across two provinces for any real reason, but it sure came in handy.
Another time we were visiting a friend about an hour away. He mentioned needing a power cable for a desktop computer. I was like, "Oh, I've got a whole desktop in the trunk of my car. You want the whole thing or just the power cable?"
Just be careful when storing HDDs in the trunk. Unless your car has some heavenly suspension, chances are, they might turn unusable in a few years.
Just yesterday I was actually thinking about cleaning out my desk's junk drawer... I know there's stuff that's been in there for 10 years... I've transitioned most of my devices to USB C. There's a lot of crap I know I don't need and haven't used in years.
Help!
For better or worse the love of my life randomly discard items from these locations.
Nobody gets to tell me I don't still need those 10 Firewire cables I bought 20 years ago!
It's coming back any day now!
But the mold, it's just reaching the age of enlightenment.
But only the oldest one, right? Not two newer half lemons
LPT you can freeze lemons. The texture might change, but you can still use it in some cooking applications and juicing it will still be fine. (After defrosting of course)
If I have too many lemons I’ll squeeze them into ice cube trays and store the cubes in a freezer bag
This is a much better idea than keeping the juice inside the lemons, as they tend to mix with juices from other parts of the lemon and change consistency.
Or just buy one of these instead of buying the lemon. It lasts I don't know how long, but a very long time.
The zest from those sucks! XD
This is the first time I’ve seen downvotes for something where someone is just giving an innocuous opinion. This says to me that Lemmy has foodies
I'm amused, to be honest.
Joke's on you, I ran into some lemon stealing whores yesterday.
Lemons were used to ward off scurvy on months long voyages without refrigeration. I think half a lemon can survive a week in my fridge before I turn it into a Tom Collins.
I wouldn't be surprised, but if you cut it in half it loses a lot of its protection from the outside world.
No.
So half an onion is gtg
No one leaves half an onion. You just put it in your food. More onion always means more good.
Good to go in the bin, yes
Ummm, acktually, it was on my kitchen counter, and I threw it away like half a day ago.
Jokes on you, it's four half limes in my fridge
Couldn't hold them?
I feel called out.. Thank you, though
In my house it's a quarter bottle of lemon juice that's been in there for like 6 months. I haven't thrown it out because it hasn't actually expired yet lol
NEVER!
OP, u might be colorblind. That's clearly a half of a lime in my fridge
No way! I’ve just put a new one there yesterday (or was it the day before?)
But...but...I was going to use it...I am sure of it!
Don't save them, do that thing where you blend them up with condensed milk and ice.
What you talking about

That with lemons
It's still on the cutting board...
That half a lemon doesn't survive for more than a couple days before I just eat it straight up (if I don't have anything else to use it for).
If it's getting bad, use it to do a deep clean on your pans. Let the half lemon soak in the pan and scrub with the rind.
