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.

I’m about 3 hours in and the benches are far more generous than in the first game. Also corpse runs aren’t required; you just lose your money.

Fun fact, an exploit in the Lumines save file is how the original PSP jailbreaks worked

Watching Kimbo Slice beat the shit out of people in random back yards was peak. Beat the hell out of needing to download the whole thing before watching it like you had to do with Red vs Blue

My oldest account I can still access is my eBay account at roughly 20 years old. Next oldest is my Steam account at 18.

Nostr solves the centralized hosting problem the current fediverse has. It’s still being developed, though, and is mostly used by crypto bros at the moment.

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

Duke Nukem Forever was just ok. StarCraft: Ghost got cancelled.

This is my take. I have ~50 hours in Hollow Knight, which is insane for a platformer. If all team cherry ever did was expand the map and add new enemies/bosses I’d be stoked.

You’d be surprised at how many phones don’t have enough accelerometers to know their full orientation in space. Compass, NFC, and barometer are also not givens.

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.

I just want the LG G5 back. It had a(n):

• Removable battery
• SD card slot
• Infrared blaster
• FM Radio
• 3.5mm jack
• Compass
• Barometer
• Gyro
• NFC
• Fingerprint reader

And a ton of other stuff. Truly the best android phone ever made

Closest I can find now is the Ulefone line (no removable battery) but I have no idea if they’re decent phones or not.

Ah yes, let me scrounge around for the remote someone else in my ADHD household last had in their hand 45 minutes ago and has no idea what they did with it.

Meanwhile, my small child is coming downstairs for a glass of water while we’re watching Hereditary for the first time. The Roku app is a pile of garbage and won’t connect to my device fast enough, it just shows loading animations. So I just have to cut the power to the TV while I look for the remote.

Hypothetically, of course.

Just because you can’t imagine a scenario where it’s convenient doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

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.

Go on

If you’re able to focus on learning stuff and school was kinda easy, engineering has always been a great career choice for us. Software development is a great one too, and comparatively easier than some of the more difficult engineering disciplines (though still difficult)

If you don’t want to do a 4 year degree, we also tend to do well in metalworking trades like being a machinist, welder, sheet metal worker, millwright, pattern maker, etc.

With welding in particular, the skill ceiling is infinite and the pay scales with how rare your skillset is. With enough experience, you can become an inspector if you want a less physically demanding job.

Some 2 year degrees that lead to pretty stable jobs are instrumentation and process operator. You’ll work in places like chemical plants or wastewater treatment facilities making sure everything stays running. You’re in the same environment for years on end and knowing every inch of your facility is critical.

Another 2 year degree is in non destructive examination (NDE). Basically training to use fancy gear to make sure manufactured parts aren’t going to fail. NDE technicians are the guys that make sure that metal parts are actually safe to send out into the world.

If you don’t want to get a degree, and you’re relatively physically fit (or don’t mind getting that way on the job), framing houses and carpentry is a good trade to learn and always in demand. Apprenticing as an electrician can lead to a good career as well, and doesn’t require a degree.

As far as hobbies go- that’s just… Whatever you like to do. You don’t have to pick one. It’s whatever you’d do to fill your time if you weren’t focused on surviving.

So, I’ve got steam wishlist items going into the third grade this year. I can wait.
