I recently purged my cable box. I had 8 HDMI cables... 8. What do I need 8 HDMI cables for?

I tossed them in the garbage with a ton of other use less cables. I kept one HDMI cable (not 8) and a few odds and ends. I kept one rj45 Ethernet cable and tossed the rest. I even tossed my rj45 crimping tool kit. Why? Because I don't see the need to crimp Ethernet cables anytime soon and should the need arise I can buy a kit for $30.

So at the end my cable box when from being overflowing to half full.

Onto the next project.
