if you're going to stack CDs on top of each other, could you PLEASE make their shiny sides face one another? this way they won't get scratched

CDs are designed so if you stack them properly (on a goddamn spindle) the shiny side doesn't touch the disc underneath

never thought of this, but i guess it would have to make sense. it's the ring that is a little taller or something i think

also the "shiny side" is hard plastic and the laser will tolerate scratches. the label side is where all the magic is. the laser will not like scratches here.

you can resurface the shiny side too, so even moderate scratches aren't a big deal from a data preservation viewpoint

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
