Wait she had 30 grams of sugar in one protein bar? That's basically a candy bar.

Totally fits the pattern of people blaming new tech for stuff that's been around forever, same vibes as folks swearing WiFi gives them brain fog but forgetting they stare at screens 12 hours a day.

Yeah, that "gallon per hour" thing is an old rule of thumb. I read a trucking forum thread where a guy with a 2022 Peterbilt said his idle shutdown timer kicks in because it burns way less than that at rest. His data showed more like a half gallon, depending on if he needed the heat or AC running. The newer engines really do manage idle way better than the old ones. That EPA note might be using an average that includes a lot of older trucks still on the road.

Wow, that's a solid tip. I tried it with my rosemary and it seemed to perk right up, maybe because it likes the extra acid. Just make sure the grounds are dry so they mix in better.

Switched to weighing my flour after a string of hockey puck loaves. The difference was night and day, my crumb actually opened up and got that nice airy texture. In my case, my scooping method was packing in way too much flour without me realizing it. That one change made my sourdough finally reliable.
