Texas and Florida prohibit local governments from mandating rest and water breaks.

The issue with health concerns like this is that it's not like it explodes and kills you - there's really no way to say, "It was the molecule on March 13, 2026 that started cancer in your body"

You can't even do that with cigarettes - you can only make a conclusion on cause that's well supported by circumstantial evidence.

And I'm not saying you're arguing against it, but just broadly speaking ... arguing *against* more information - unless the argument is that the information itself is inaccurate - seems particularly anti free-market to me. (Obviously that's why companies fight against the burden of regulation designed to increase market transparencies.)

"diesel engines are known for being especially difficult to start in cold."

When I was in the Army in Korea in 1985/86 one of the duties on the duty roster was to start every vehicle in the motor pool every 4 hours and run it for half an hour to keep it warm. Nothing like getting up at 0200 on a Sunday morning to spend an hour in the motor pool.

The irony of your sarcasm is it actually *is* horrible.

Water is good - necessary even - but too much water will kill you. Choice is the exact same way - it's entirely possible to have too much of it, as much as that contradicts an ethos buried deeply in the American id.

Lol, so many of the posts here reek of bitter developers who have clearly never worked in the halls of quality software engineering

yeah well, everything sounds simple to people who don't quite understand the nature of the actual problem, but here's a hint:

The next day after your "simple solution": "FTC sues Google claiming that it is identifying their non-political party emails as political party emails"

"It's as if the people reporting the news don't care about being consistent"

That's just an astoundingly stupid thing to say. I don't even know where to begin with that.

Why wouldn't you just turn OneDrive off? I mean, I get it, stubborn master of your computer stuff, but honestly, you're just making shit difficult for yourself. Just turn it off.

"Usually to my desktop."

Oh my.

It's adorable you seem to think the experience of home/prosumer users is that of enterprise deployments/users.

I would argue that cruelty is the point.

Somebody needs a brain transplant.

(It's you, by the way. One from a pig - or really any animal - would be an improvement.)

Yes, buying. I lived in Cedar City Utah and first encountered Linux in a RedHat 2.0 beige box at a gaming store in Red Cliffs Mall in St George. Probably in 1994 or 5. Came with a couple of manuals, a boot floppy, and a CD. Had the 0.95 kernel. Getting dial-up configured was interesting since the ISP only knew about Trumpet Winsock... Then leaving it running for a few hours in the evening to update everything.

Within a week I was at the local BN buying O'Reilly books.

"Maybe they are measuring the helicopter at 10ft and takeoff power, and measuring their craft at cruising altitude and speeds."
