OT - What to do with old CDs?
 
I have about adozen old CDs that I no longer need or want. Ican just toss them, but thought maybe someone here had come up with other uses, like making a weird wind chime or something.

Use one as a reflective signal mirror - kept in your vehicle, boat...

ISTR reading about CDs being used as spacers between circular saw
blades stored on a dowel, stacked on a wall. Blades don't contact
each other.

Is there a Freecycle where you live, or something similar. A mailing
list where you give things away to people who want them.

Not unless they are swinging. Moving targets. You might put bullets
in the tree.

These CDs have technical information on them, not of any use to anyone except engineers, and really not even useful for them.

I thought the biggest fauna, deers, ate mostly at dusk when there was no
sun to flash off the CDs.

Do they eat at dawn too? Still, no direct sunlight.

Lots of things reflect without scaring birds, but reflecting lets birds
know a CD is present. Humans might not know flying saucers were present
if the ETs didn't turn on their flashing lights. Humans aren't scared
of flashing lights. They're scared of unidentified flying objects.

Some people have no luck keeping deer away with CDs. I suppose they
have to be hung where the deer will see them in the dark, and the
location has to have enough wind to move them. I suppose the deer leave
because it's an unidentified flying object.

Humans also tend to get uneasy when they encounter a moving object they
can't account for in the dark.

You make a lot of good points. Doesn't the FAA require that the ETs use
flashing lights when over USA-governed territory?

Humans aren't scared
of flashing lights. They're scared of unidentified flying objects.

That's under Catch-22. ET's are required to travel by UFO, but if they
turn on identification lights and transponders as required, they're no
longer unidentified flying objects. Any ET who doesn't want to end up
at GTMO had better retain a good lawyer.

I was not surprised to discover that the FAA's UFO regulations are under
Section 8.
