And I think any one who eats meat on a regular basis is going to know an impossible burger is not beef

Tbh. I don't get using burgers as an example. Burgers as I know them contain so much other stuff (salad, tomato, cucumber, cheese, sauce etc.) that I barely notice what kind of patty is in there. I do notice a difference on stuff that is unprocessed meat without much to hide the differences (best example would probably be that steak) but for anything that uses ground meat and/or adds other stuff (like in a stew) that just diminishes/hides any differences.

I'm with you on the other stuff though, trying to imitate something perfectly often lands you in the uncanny valley where its close enough to be identifiable what it is supposed to be, but just slightly off to be distracting. Like that one recipe you remember from your parents or grand parents that you always loved as a kid but no one can get exactly like you remember it.

No. 9 but for media volume

Thankfully, all cars I've driven that had a touch screen also had some media buttons on the steering wheel. I'd prefer to have good old physical buttons in the center console, but at least you didn't have to use the touch screen.

Eyes off the road for 5secs

Nice rant, but if you do this, you really shouldn't be driving.

I thought this was the exact reason why they bundle multiple streams with almost all subscriptions. To provide multiple people in a household the option to stream their own stuff. Did you have only one single stream?

I don't know about the revenue sharing. But in Germany, youtube premium is 12€, Amazon prime and Disney is 9€, Paramount is 8€ and Apple tv is 7€. Only Netflix is the same price for hd or more expensive with 18€ for 4k.

A single individual? Sure, but that is a bad comparison. World wide food production is responsible for over a third of all carbon emissions. That isn't inconsequential.

It isn't really pro life, it is anti-choice.

I get that, but the vast majority of content creators seem to make their money with sponsorships or their own ads, so most of what google is doing is content distribution, not creation. Which makes the amount of money they want for that seem ridiculous when pretty much every other streaming service that produces high profile and expensive shows themselves is way cheaper.

This feels like your supermarket requiring entrance fees in addition to you having to pay for stuff you actually buy.

Aber das wird wahrscheinlich auch nicht passieren.

Könnte das irgendwelche Auswirkungen auf unseren Lebensstandard haben? Dann ist die Frage leider schon beantwortet.

And funnily, the shorts player on mobile has some of those features.

That is as local as it gets around here. We don’t have subways or street cars, it’s either busses (diesel) or train (motor coach actually) for even single digit km distances.

But yeah, it is real rail, not some separate local network.

Uh, appparently only 61% of German train lines are electrified. I know of at least 2 heavily used lines that aren't (so far). One is the connection Basel towards Bodensee, the Hochrheinbahn. Another is Ringzug.
