What a random and waste of time question...why not use that energy to be creative or work on your car?!

You should zip-tie your fingers together so you can't type!

Sorry to be mean but clogging up the forums with these kind of threads makes it harder to search for the things you really need.

Yup, zip ties are great but be carfull when using them on aluminum tubing. A while back I was working on a plane tracking down oil leak. A plastic zip tie holding a wiring harness to a oil return line ate in to into the line just from the engine vibration.

Sooner or later, everybody will use zip-ties on their evos to hold something in place. Those things are cheap and effective....like condoms....sometimes

They're cheaper and less conspicuous than handcuffs.
