Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

I have a box o' digital cables, a box o' analog cables, a box o' power cords, and a box o' power bricks.
The power cords and power bricks end up being useful once in a while.
As for the other boxes, I have never pulled anything but the most common cables, like standard USB or HDMI cables, out of there. You know, the ones that you can easily buy cheaply whenever you need them. I've been trying to convince myself to throw away those boxes for years.
As soon as the garbage truck hauls them off, you'll suddenly need one of them and have to go out and buy one.
It's like screwdrivers. No matter how many you have and how prepared you try to be, the next thing you need to open will have a screw you don't have the tool for opening. And you will realize that you're screwed.
🧐which box holds the DVI cables?
Those are digital cables. The analog cables are things like RCA connectors, old stereo cables and wires, old VGA connectors. That sort of thing.
