LPT: If you have a lot of loose zip ties, well cut the head off of one and zip the rest onto that!

Another zip tie tip - they are reusable if you cut the right end off when removing one. Might be obvious to others, but took me years to figure out somehow.
Just don't cut the end attached to the head of the zip tie. Cut the tail right before it enters the zip-tie-hole, release it, and you just made a new but shorter zip tie
