We need to make a throne ... like the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones ... but made out of USB cables

So when we weigh them, do we still put a goose on the other scale? A pile of USB-As in the shape of a goose? A single USB drive with a goose shaped enclosure? Do y'all have your own torches and pitchforks? Cause I found a good deal on a bulk order....and like, it's click and collect, I could be down the shops and back in like....15...20 minutes tops?

I just check the port and plug in accordingly, I can't remember the last time I didn't plug it in on the first try.

I bought one yesterday and tried it for the first done in a while after being all in on C

First try — yeah that’s definitely wrong. Rotate and try again, huh? Rotate again and it worked.

I don’t understand, my first try I made sure to check and push. USB A has the craziest quantum macro phenomena.

My trick is to keep all the USB-A stuff plugged into an USB-C hub at all times. Then I just plug in that one.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

Given the improbability of plugging it in on the first try, I'm going to need to see some proof.

Even when it's first hand knowledge, I don't believe it. I plug in the usb plug. I pull it out reflexively. I try again, it doesn't go in, I confuse, I turn I try again, fail, I turn back, is ok.

Probably could have used the gru plan meme there somehow

Not to be "that guy" but I've never understand this issue. A usb has two distinguished sides that look different from one another one side goes plug in top up and vice versa

I used to put a drop of superglue on the top side of my microUSB charging cable by my nightstand so that I never try putting it in the wrong way again, which I didn't.

Oh, that’s good for a tactile method. Ona few I used a white paint marker, but that only works if you are looking at the plug in the light.

Probability for that is 1:3, because usually it's "doesn't fit" *flip* "doesn't fit" *flip* "fits" .

“All you have to do” is look closely at the plug and see which side has the seam. Then look at the port and figure out which way the circuit board is using your x-ray vision. The seam, 99.9% of the time, points to the circuit board. If you’ve got at least 3 minutes to spare each time, you’ll usually get it right.

I’ll need some proof before I can believe this. Show us this “plugged in” connection.

I have NEVER been able to do this. It always takes me 3 tries. Bravo sir.
