my cables will not be "managed"
I love all cables equally. each is empowered to roam freely in pursuit of self-directed goals, articulating a personality of its own. that's not a tangle, it's a statement.
cable management is a tool of the oppressor.

It's one thing for people to not have much of an idea of what using an electric car is like.
It's a completely other, maddeningly infuriating thing when people simply will not accept simple facts like "the circuit that powers a clothes dryer provides at least 100 miles of driving range overnight"
