Hasta La Gadget!

Amy Coney Barrett’s decision marks the first time the highest court has weighed in on the legality of such requirements.

While it seems we won’t have to wait much longer for Ford to announce an all-electric Bronco, it probably won’t have the same classic styling as the 1972 version of the SUV. But if you have at least $260,000 in the bank, a company called Gateway Bronco will happily build you a vintage Bronco that’s specced like a modern EV. This week, it announced two new models, the Fuelie Electric and Luxe-GT Electric, that feature 220 kW electric motors that the company claims can accelerate the former gas-guzzler from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds.

Range on the less expensive Fuelie model comes in at a claimed 200 miles, while the Luxe-GT (pictured throughout), which starts at an eye-watering $380,000, can travel up to 300 miles on a single charge. Other noteworthy features include 18-inch wheels that Gateway Bronco has fitted with Wilwood disc brakes and 33-inch Toyo tires. You also get a seven-year warranty on the electric drivetrain. Oh, and the interior looks sublime.

Even when you account for inflation and the cost of all the modern technology Gateway Bronco has included in the Fuelie and Luxe-GT, a minimum of $260,000 is a lot of money for a restomod of a car that cost $2,194 in 1966. But it’s about the going rate for electric conversions of this type. You could do the work yourself once automakers like Chevy release electric crate motors later in the year, but you’re still likely looking at an expensive project.

There’s a popular idea that eating ‘slow’ carbohydrates will result in weight loss or better weight management while eating ‘fast’ carbohydrates will result in weight gain. Fast carbs are called high-glycemic-index foods, while slow carbs are called low-glycemic-index foods. According to a new peer-reviewed study, the popular assumption about these carbs is wrong. The idea behind the weight gain/loss myth … Continue reading

The FDA has published a new recall that covers supplements sold on eBay, ones that, the agency warns, contain an undeclared drug called sibutramine that is used for weight loss. Though the drug was, at one point in time, an FDA-approved appetite suppressant, it was later pulled from the market over health concerns. The recall involves a supplement called Hydro … Continue reading

Given how convenient it is to tap a few buttons and have someone bring dinner to your door, food delivery isn’t likely to drop in popularity anytime soon. Wendy’s is looking to meet surging demand by opening hundreds of delivery-only kitchens in the next few years. The likes of Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub will handle orders.

Wendy’s is planning to open 700 such kitchens in the US, UK and Canada by 2025, as the Associated Press reports. The locations will primarily be in major cities and the first 50 should be up and running this year.

Reef Technology, which already manages around 5,000 so-called “ghost kitchens,” will open the Wendy’s locations and hire workers. Wendy’s will take around a six percent cut of sales, which are expected to hit at least $500,000 annually at each kitchen.

The concept of ghost kitchens has been around for several years. They’re kitchens without storefronts that make food orders only for delivery or pickup — some are run out of existing brick-and-mortar restaurants. Other fast food chains have experimented with the idea, including Chick-fil-A and Chipotle. Meanwhile, YouTuber MrBeast uses ghost kitchens for his burger chain, which has more than 900 locations.
