I have a 2 Mello CD of one of my fave albums and play it (when not digitally through Band Camp) with my Blu Ray player and also many consoles are equipped with Blu Ray in the disc slot that should also allow play!
I have to have faith that CDs will come back now that people are ditching streaming and going back to old devices. Even if you don't have a CD player, you can rip a CD with a cheap USB external drive.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

Important takeaway -- the young men vote is still up for grabs as solid majorities of young men voted blue last night. Equally important, though, are the HUGE margins Dems won among Gen Z women. 8 in 10 young women voted for Spanberger & Sherill. That part of the story is still often undertold.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Geothermal is NOT my area of energy expertise, so genuinely asking what does the efficacy look like of additional tunneling vs just capturing the existing over-heat for removal that also delivers surplus thermal generation? #climate #NYC #geothermal #energy
Could geothermal technology cool steamy subway platforms as temperatures rise? The MTA is trying to find out.
MTA Searches Underground for Ways to Cool Sweltering Stations
The transit agency may use geothermal technology to combat high temperatures as the number of yearly heat waves is projected to more than triple by the 2050s.
