I’ve started reforming those curly handset cords from the other day I wrap them around an 8mm dowel and then hit them with the heat gun until they’re “slightly too hot to hold” [1] Any that are too “loose” I reverse the coil direction before putting them on the dowel as that instantly tightens it up (a useful trick, I should video it!) Once they’re cool they’re all nice and uniform! [1] I’m not doing any science here, it’s all vibes and experience

    @lpbkdotnet@mstdn.social This is the companion job to the telephone handset sanitizers on the b-ark in Hitchhiker's Guide. I love it actually, there is a really satisfying spring to a fresh telephone cord.
