@DracoTarot Good on you to have this new provider, hope it works out well for those who use it.

@DoctorEldritch Mostly they notice the bad side of things and feel it's cursed items. I'll try to convince them it's not all doom and gloom and good luck charms.

The curtain pullbacks would be a better alternative I think. :)

@DoctorEldritch There are a lot of requests for installations. Hopefully, it will pick up more.

@DracoTarot Ah, that reminds me of that "Hope For The Best Expect The Worst" song that Mel Brooks wrote for his version of "12 Chairs". The movie itself is not that good (for someone who read the source material), but the song is decent:

I looked around, but could not find a metal version of it 😅

There are other things you can do with old CDs, you can make lamps or candle holders, too. It's possible to make different things for different people depending on what they need or like.

Good luck with those installations, it is an encouraging trend, I hope.

@DoctorEldritch A metal version of this song would be awesome. CDs can also be used to make solar panels and even a death ray. Maybe I should try and make my own. 😂

[DoctorEldritch]

@DracoTarot Maybe you can pitch a song cover idea to one of the bands you know or even have a go at it yourself.

Solar panels I can get behind. Did not come across them being used this way, but after you said it I looked into it, and it does seem to be possible. Here is a video for those interested:

As for the death ray, well...not sure what you'd want to use that for, but you may need a bit more than old CDs:

@Saka speaking of apps and software, here is another thing that you can try: a sustainable browser Ecosia.

@DoctorEldritch Huh, that's interesting, but on the other hand I am really used to old trusty Firefox.

[DoctorEldritch]

@Saka Me as well, actually. But there is a choice: you can use it as a search engine only (replace Google or Yandex or whatever is your default engine) with your browser remaining the same. Or you can go all the way and use the browser, too. But as you said, a browser is something you can get used to, like a good pair of shoes that you do not want to change. Changing search engine for everyday searches may be more manageable, especially if it helps the planet.

[Saka]

@DoctorEldritch That's interesting, I added it to my search engines. At least Google will know a little less about me for a while then. 😂

[DoctorEldritch]

@Saka At this point, I think Google knows everything there is to know anyway. Might as well save some trees 😅
