'The Rising' is in the CD player.

You still own a CD player?

Damn.  This just made me realize I don't think I have any device that can play my CDs anymore.  I would always just use my computer but now that I think about it those don't have CD drives anymore.

I do still have a VCR though.

I got one. I'll give you the Scoop discount and sell it to you for $500 plus $100 shipping and handling.

Yeah, I still have a box of CDs somewhere, but haven't used a CD player in years.

During a move 20 years ago, I finally dumped about 200 cassette tapes dating back to high school. I'll probably do the same with the CDs next time I need to clear out some space.

I own a 2014 Honda Pilot (humblebrag) with CD player, so you bet I can still rock out my "Nevermind" an "Siamese Dream" CDs any time I wish.

I have a DVD of my wedding, but I don't have a DVD player.

I also have old pirated copies of Windows and Photoshop burned to CD-Rs with the keys written on them. I think that's the entirety of the discs I still own.

Didn't know they took them. I will certainly do that rather than toss.

Same.  Ive actually never had a car with a proper CD player.  My first car was a Honda Accord that didn't have one and I had an after market 6 CD changer wired into the truck I needed a janky remote for.  Then my next car I got around 2008 was used but was the first generation around 2005 that didn't have a CD player standard.  Just an Aux plug-in.  Now obviously you arent getting a CD player in a car.

Same with my laptop, though I have an older Macbook that still has one.

My 2015 BMW 5 series has one too.

Also has an aftermarket Apple CarPlay.

Not 0%.  Constant vigilance is needed to protect ourselves from terrorist attacks.   Foreign and domestic.   I am far more worried about a second January 6th.

More likely an attack on a soft target (infrastructure) rather than anything airport related.

Fair.  Take down a grid.
