You think the car industry needs saved? How so? Gas or electric, there’s never been a lull in people purchasing cars. Quite the opposite, most of the time. It’s not like cars were on a production decline before ev’s started rolling in and saved the day with the few percentage of car shoppers buying them.
I believe the cooking changes happened, but I don’t believe the authors conclusions as to why the changes happened. For instance, it was common place just 25 years ago that the Thanksgiving turkey was slow cooked for like 12 hours and basted while it sat in a pan, or kept and cooked inside an oven bag. More recent times, word has spread that it ends up way better to cook it faster at a higher heat. Not because anything about the birds changed, but because we became more educated at cooking and taking temps and different methods were able to be tried and shared faster due to the internet existing.
I’m betting chicken always could have cooked faster. I’m also betting something else is the reason for the custard recipe besides yolks binding less. Eggs changed a lot over the mass production thing, but nothing has reported a change or drop in the proteins. There’s also a 100 ways to make an egg custard so chances are more that the older recipe had several differences compared to the newer one. I’m sure more modern egg custard recipes are different again. A lot of the popular ones today don’t just use the yolks and don’t even use whole milk. Cooking methods always change.
I’m talking non plug in. Plug in ones are bigger and heavier by a fair amount.
As to wear stuff, your numbers are way off. Cycle count is more around 2500 now, but that’s complete charge and discharge. No hybrids or pure evs like letting you use a battery range that big, so the batteries will last a lot longer. My hybrid battery lasted about 13 years and over 200,000 miles before needing replaced.
Wasteful, useless, fix this planet, yadda yadda.
That’s all a bit true, but this is still cool as fuck.
Stellantis vehicles in the states are doing shit sales because everyone in the states knows they make terrible vehicles that fall apart too soon, which would have been fine if they charged less for them, but they want to have the bad quality, along with a premium price tag.
