I watched VHSs.

Collected all the Disney VHSs.

Yeah.

I think it's refreshing just to, because everything's like a streaming service now.

Yeah.

It's like, and you have to like pay different subscriptions to just to see like different movies.

This final note on the way out today, Bayer, the German conglomerate that makes Roundup, has agreed to pay more than $7 billion over 21 years to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the widely used weed killer causes cancer.

The settlement is pending court approval and comes on top of $10 billion the company has already paid to resolve other claims.

Bayer has denied that Roundup causes cancer, citing the EPA's finding that the main ingredient, glyphosate, poses no risks to human health if used properly.
