Thought a spool was a word for rolled up cable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) No, you're right. It is, but your title was a little redundant. Think of it this way. You could have said, "A planet of warehouses of pallets of spools of cable holds 1 GB per meter..." It's still a correct statement, but it's redundant. Any amount of cable holds 1 GB per meter. You don't need to say an amount at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Deestan@lemmy.world [S] 5 points 2 years ago Ah, but it needs to be rolled up, see. permalink fedilink source parent
