Netflix has a good selection of movies you and yours may want to watch together and apart.
You can sync anything on Netflix through the Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party), which you can add as an extension to your Chrome browser so that the show you’re watching stops (for everyone in the party) when paused for a food or bathroom break. There’s also a chat option so that you can comment on the show or discuss during a break, although your own preferred chat option is probably easier and won’t suffer from lag.
Another option is to schedule a Zoom meeting and share your streaming content from your screen (Netflix, Prime Video, HBO, etc.) This provides the luxury of not everyone on the call needing to subscribe to the service you’re screening.
And if you’re more worried about screen quality and prefer to watch it on your big screen TV, you can watch a show or movie at roughly the same time, then share a Zoom call to discuss it after. Ideal for a binge watch of a fun series riddled with plot twists. Or to help decompress when viewing Breaking Bad or Game of Throne

The aviation sector consumed almost 8% of oil products globally in 2019, or almost 7.5 million barrels per day according to Bloomberg NEF’s 2020 Aviation Fuel Outlook. In 2020, Covid-19 has grounded much of the world’s aircraft, leading to almost a halving of fuel consumption. Long-term, however, appetite for air travel should continue to grow. With few alternatives and without significant policy intervention, air miles will continue to be powered by fossil fuels. This research note analyzes the key themes driving consumption of aviation fuels to 2050.
