I couldn't agree more with you here. I'm lucky enough to work for a good employer right now but have worked for awful ones in the past. The improvement in my general wellbeing moving from bad to good was significant enough to where it's become a significant part of my calculations in regard to whether I should change jobs/employer or not.

If that was a viable solution to employer abuse or poor practices we wouldn't have needed to pass all the labor laws we have that have dramatic improve things like work place safety.

Your citation is some one said so? I'm asking for data backing what you are saying. In other words, a proper citation. An authoritative person saying something doesn't make something reality. For instance, Trump says things all the time that don't match up to reality.

Probably because we were busy learning what constitutes a proper citation rather than off walking around being condescending to people. What should I expect though from someone who believes a state with property values like California's can also be a hell-scape at the same time. Hint: People don't pay California money to live in a shitty place.

And Brin makes up half of all billionaire wealth in California?

It was a question with a point.

Good lord you're tiresome.

Cite a source.

I've been hearing for decades this thing or that would doom California for ever and yet here we are in 2026 and California is still the largest economy in the union by a long shot. At this point, wolf has been cried so many times I'll need some real tangible evidence before I'll believe anything conservatives are trying to tell me about California.

Making people wait an extra day because of crappy delivery methods is bad for business. Then there's the issue of waste as many of us don't like seeing stuff go through all of the efforts and energy expenditures of being manufactured only to be destroyed without even being used once.

There is a very rational argument in that bunch of insults and expletives. Do better.

From what I'm looking at https://pcpartpicker.com/trend... they're close enough.

What's not to like about Data centers using as much power as 100,000 homes moving in to neighborhoods and jacking up the power bills for all the locals all so that these companies can replace American workers with AI!?

How about they spend that time and money on improving Plex? I haven't seen meaningful improvements in their software in ages and it needs quite a few.

And we're expected to believe that can just flip a switch and rebuild a nuclear program that took them decades to build? What a laugh,

No country has ever created regime change with air power alone. It's a pipe dream.

Plenty of people quit without going cold turkey. Never mind the fact that smoking is far more addictive than junk food thus is harder to beat then giving up junk food.

As I said before, we've never tried anywhere near as hard with our obesity messaging as we did with smoking. To dismiss a solution that worked in another context that we haven't even attempted in this one is foolish.

Because the bad lifestyle choices that cause obesity negatively effect the body beyond obesity. Refined sugar is still bad for you even if you're a healthy weight. Ultra processed foods are still bad for you even if you're a healthy weight. Exercise is still good for you even if you're a healthy weight. Eating lots of produce is still good for you even if you're a healthy weight.

And they choose to use such things because they decided to quit smoking. Guess what was happening that was encouraging people to stop smoking :)
