What is a TV?

Elder Millennial and the extent of my cable TV is at others’ houses at Christmas and Thanksgiving or the airport.

Our TV exists for PS5/Switch, Netflix, HBO, and YouTube. It has some channels but I’ve never looked through it.

Four Weddings and a Funeral?
Paddington 2??

I have heard of one of those.

Glass Onion, although his role is rather short.

So you were a teenager when Austin Powers 1 or 2 came out? I don’t think this is a generational thing.

Austin hit 45 days in a row of 100 degrees plus, shattering the previous record. The tropical storm yesterday broke the streak.

Dungeons and Dragon movie?

Hugh Grant was great in that.

This makes lack of “Love Actually” exposure more shocking.

RN. I’d never have picked him out of a lineup but have a visual.

What’s with the rumor that Bill Gates supposedly wants to cut down 70 million acres of trees and bury them because climate change? I first saw it on Twix, but an actual search only seems to have super obscure :tfh:y sources about it. (I severely hate Bill Gates, but I try not to give such sources credibility by linking to them unless I have a very specific reason to.)

Sounds like bullshit.

Typical qanon shit

Total nonsense.

Why do you hate Bill Gates?

(I don’t know much about him.)

It might have a root in the idea that mature forests aren’t super efficient carbon sequestors. Removing wood from the forest rather than leaving to rot would increase sequestration. Large scale monoculture forests used to produce wood products aren’t the best for biodiversity, but they can still be a benefit. Architects are starting to look at engineered lumber for large buildings, so perhaps burying won’t be necessary.

Yes, at a certain point, a tree will stop sucking CO2. But how to know which ones?

The “mature” ones.
