I relate to this so hard
I wrote a story about that old box of cords you've been hanging onto for years and never open but are too scared to throw out. Here's a little thread about why we don't throw out cords: wsj.com/articles/admit-it-yo…
Excited about trying the new @ImpossibleFoods "pork" at #CES2020? Well, if the line gets too later long we're right next door @HexagonAB - just sayin'
