Used in a variety of situations from charging to unit to unit connectivity. Now it seems totally random twisted copper and very iffy at either USB end. I know it's material and labour intensive but I'd pay the difference, Over the course of the last year I've 'burnt through' at least 12 such cables. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/justsaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>justsaying</span></a></p>

David<p>Copy pasting from a message I sent to a group chat:</p><p>Okay so I cast on at the hem/ribbing for a new jumper in the second-smallest size, and holy shit this pattern is huge. </p><p>Based on this, it’s already wider than the one I just finished (which is at least 10cm wider in the chest than I would have liked) 😅</p><p>I’m gonna have to try down to the smallest size AND use smaller needles. Thankfully it’s supposed to have a bit more ease, but woah.</p><p>If I’d read allllll the comments it would have helped… I might have bought 8 ply yarn instead of 10 ply!</p><p>Also I think casting on at the hem and using the rib and lower part of the body might be a good way for me to figure out sizing/gauge. At least a better approximation than doing a gauge swatch 😅</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Knitting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cabling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cabling</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sweater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sweater</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/crayolacrayonnn/the-handsome-chris-pullover" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ravelry.com/projects/crayolacr</span><span class="invisible">ayonnn/the-handsome-chris-pullover</span></a></p>

Em-squared<p>I want to run an Ethernet cable upstairs.There's a unused aerial cable that already does that (goes up a hole in the lounge room ceiling into the room upstairs). Going to presume the best way to thread the Ethernet cable through that existing hole is to tie is to the aerial end then go upstairs and pull that old aerial cable and the Ethernet cable tied to it up?<br>What could possibly go wrong?

Ran a brand new, shorter, and more direct cable to our <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CableModem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CableModem</span></a> and the signal is vastly improved as you can see in the second picture.
