    No seriously, evolution fucked up it’s cable management. iirc, there’s a nerve (essentially the biological equivalent of a data cable) that has an extreme detour, going from the upper neck, looping under the aorta (more or less the largest blood vessel), and then back up all the way to the throat. In giraffes, it’s 4+ meters going down the neck and then back up. That is horrible cable management and can actually cause health risks/complications for certain surgeries

      The nerve is called recurrent laryngeal nerve if anyone wants to read up on it

      Well, to be fair to evolution, surgeries weren’t really on its list of considerations. With no surgeries to the neck/chest it won’t be a problem at all. Most of us, including giraffes, have no problem with it and it works flawlessly. Is it a detour? Yes. But it works, and that’s the only thing that matters in evolution.

        It just disproves “intelligent design.”

      At least we don’t have it quite as bad as octopuses, who have a have a risk of dying after eating too much because their brain wraps around their stomach.

    You know if you take all the cables out of your body and put them zip ties, you will die.

      Well, that’s what happens when you’re not careful enough. You can’t just go yanking cables! They need to be finessed. To be bought dinner, first.

        Instructions unclear: After finessing these zipties, hands now bound under legs.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a beautiful cable management photo as the one on the right. Can’t belive I’m having romantic feelings about cable management.

      That’s a real SDI video router using HD-BNC connectors. I worked on rack units with 512 in and outs, this one looks like 256.

        Having worked on them occasionally was about to confirm that, but somebody gave it more JPEG already and I can’t quite make it out. They do certain look like BNC/some other coaxial connector though and I’ve definitely have to troubleshoot very similar nightmarish setups

      That’s balance. Now the right half is just as fake as the proposed origin on the left.

    Make a shit code, do a quick sprint, push to a master. Evolution need a huge amount of time.
