Reply to LPT: Colour code your USB cables with cable ties. by ikothsowe

I don't need this because my devices have completely different looking USB cables. Some are different shades of gray, Summer braided, some have different designs on the USB plug, and on the extremely rare circumstance I would need to unplug one of them it's very easy just to trace the cable from end to end

Reply to comment by Howdy-partners in TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain

He created more than 300 uses for peanuts but peanut butter was not one of them

Reply to comment by Ashiro in TIL John Steinbeck IV wrote an article in January 1968 about marijuana usage among the troops. This set off a media firestorm, & the Army began clamping down on marijuana usage, arresting ~1000 G.I.s a week for possession. Many G.I.s switched to heroin, which was odorless and thus harder to detect. by The_Critical_Cynic

I thought chasing the dragon was just a metaphor for getting high. I didn't know it was a specific thing.
