My wage doesn't have a cost of goods sold line item. If I take in $5b and make $5.5b in revenue, $300m is > 1/2 of my net profit

This might be relevant, but I was like this for almost my entire life until my 30s. Found out I have a kidney disorder that makes me lose potassium way too fast. Started treating that and most cravings went away.

My takeaway was that cravings can be driven by nutritional deficiencies. Figure out what you're missing and eat more of that, or supplement. The cravings can also be totally wrong about what to eat. I would crave purely salty stuff but what I actually needed were bananas, avocados, and strawberries (bc they're crazy high in potassium). A lot of the foods I craved were actively worse for my cravings (very starchy foods lower potassium levels; worst offenders are pizza and alcohol).

I'm not saying you have my specific thing, it's crazy rare; all bodies are unique, however, and yours might be missing something. Keep an eagle eye on what you actually consume and try to correlate cravings to your eating habits.

Completely unrelated, but if you have ADHD you may have also ingrained the "food=dopamine" correlation deep into your psyche. People often use food to regulate their mood unwittingly and it becomes a destructive habit.

Sometimes it can be both of these things. So good luck and godspeed.

Why should the benefits of my labor not pass on to my children just because it's a creative work?

Not multistage, but it's a heat pump with auxiliary heat. I have multiple zones controlled by dampers, too, soni have two of these thermostats.

I bought a Honeywell Z-Wave thermostat because I have a more complicated HVAC setup than the typical American home. It was one of the few I could find that was compliant with a home automation protocol that didn't require something that announced its existence to the Internet. It's been solidly reliable, replacing my dead Nest thermostat.

The thermostat:

If Google assistant ends up dying this is the way I'll be going with. I've already got HA up, I'm just using stuff that predates my HA setup.

No need for this. A Z-Wave or Zigbee thermostat does the same thing.

I have three lights that were wired to one switch. With smart bulbs, I can individually turn them on and off or dim them. No "dumb" solution exists for homes that were wired in a stupid way. This isn't a niche application, it's a common reality.

90s kid here, but in a poor and rural area. I would play in my yard all day and couldn't leave because it bordered a highway, and the nearest business was 5 miles away. Libraries were special trips. I had no neighbors, and no friends aside from school and church.

I played a fuckload of super Mario and read everything in the house whether I enjoyed it or not. Got halfway through the encyclopedia before we got free dial up Internet through AOL trial CDs and NetZero, but even then time was limited because phone line time was expensive.

I see this repeated all the time and I'm sure there's some truth to it, but A&W burgers are also disgusting and more expensive than their competitors. So there's that.

Madam Web. The premise of your perception being un-stuck in time and the ramifications that has for your psyche is really cool. What's not cool is hiring bad writers and nepo baby actresses to portray that story

I can program and I have a mechanical engineering degree but I have super niche skills so I can't get hired abroad. I always read that there's a skills shortage in tons of countries but there aren't any actual jobs to take.
