1.?ÿ I can never insert a USB-A connector right side up on the first attempt.
2.?ÿ I can never remember when to use "further" and when to use "farther."
3.?ÿ I can never remember if the linetype DASHED2 is bigger than DASHEDX2.?ÿ I just now changed a detail outline to the one I want, and I've already forgotten which is which.

1. Piece of cake, I get it right at least half of the time.
2. As farther described.
3. I remember, every time I print a draft copy.?ÿ
It's picking a rotation without waving my hand, I have a problem with.?ÿ
OMG, that takes me back to my youth and trying to remove lug nuts on a wheel.?ÿ Our Dodge pickup had left-handed nuts and our Chevrolet car had right-handed nuts.?ÿ Took a long cheater one time and broke the lug bolt on the Dodge.?ÿ Not my finest moment, especially when Dad came in from the field to discover my error.
Broken lug nuts ...?ÿ?ÿ Many years ago my sister happened to be doing her student teaching internship in the town I am in and was using our parents' car.?ÿ One day she called me and told me she had a flat and when trying to change it she was breaking the bolts.?ÿ I said "No way" and went over to see.?ÿ I took the X form wrench and snapped off a bolt with almost no effort.?ÿ I bought a?ÿ new set of bolts the next day and replaced all in that wheel.
We figured out that a shop had changed that tire for our mother and must have run the air wrench on max setting.?ÿ That flat tire was a blessing that may have kept her from losing a wheel on the interstate.
@holy-cow I believe the Dodge had a "L" punched in the end of lug bolt, and I think they were on the passenger side only.?ÿ Speaking from learned experience from way back in 1975 and my first job at a service station.
"L" stands for rotate the top of the 4-way lug wrench to the left......................Right?
@holy-cow I stopped at a service station (remember when they had those) one day in a company truck to fuel up.?ÿ They had a young man, probably high school age, with a Dodge on a lift trying to rotate the tires.?ÿ After he had wrung off two lug nuts with the air wrench I asked him if he knew that Dodge used left handed lug nuts on the right side of the car.?ÿ The look on his face was priceless.?ÿ Luckily his boss was a good guy and didn't yell too much.

John Evers taught me that the seam on the USB-A connector goes on the bottom side.?ÿ I only have one tablet for which this is not true.?ÿ But it's a little trickier if the ports are not aligned horizontally on the device.

The USB has two holes on each face, on one face the holes are blocked by plastic or whatever and on the other they penetrate the metal to a gap in the assembly, I consider that face to be the top of the USB and if it is a horizontal slot inserting as such will be successful.
The mnemonic I have heard for this is "holey side up toward heaven".
Glad I am not a technical writer.?ÿ?ÿ
Was that in 1975 by any chance.?ÿ That was exactly the scenario I wrote of.?ÿ Remember it like yesterday, 1964/65 dodge dart......little did they know, they drove away with only 3 lug nuts holding the wheel on. Probably why I remember it so well. Guilt!?ÿ Jp
Wow!?ÿ Same exact scenario. Sis owned a 90-91 Chevy Corsica. Snapped two lugs with little effort. Never seen that before. I chalked it up to inferior metal.
I had a well-used '60-something Dodge Dart in 1972 and 1973.?ÿ Had the pushbutton automatic transmission on the dash.?ÿ A buddy of mine walked up as I was starting to attempt to loosen a lug nut and said, "It's a Dodge, doofus, pull the other way."?ÿ Of course, he was right.
My mother had a Ford Taurus about 1996 and someone must have cross-threaded a lug nut following a tire repair.?ÿ She had the car in the shop for some reason and they needed to remove the wheel.?ÿ No way was that nut coming off.?ÿ They had to go on the backside of the wheel and cut/burn off the other end of the lug bolt to remove it.?ÿ Would have been a mini-disaster if she would have had a flat tire out somewhere.
I solved my connectors problem years ago
