What are rent prices in your area?
I can get nice ones in my city for about 180 US dollars a month and food is only about 250$ a month

Around where I live you can do about 450 a month for rent including utilities, but the place is going to look like shit and be in a really crappy area of town.

For a decent 1 bedroom at least 650 including util

For anything decent its about $900-$1500 here. I'm in fucking NJ though, we have one of the highest costs of living in the country, with no space as well.

the average rent here in middle tennessee is about 800 for a good enough apartment
if you want to live directly next to the monkey exhibit of the zoo it's about 600
i got a decent deal on a two bedroom for 700 but it's a little out of the way and sorta hagged

Potatoes, honey and bananas are good food that are cheap, and oranges can help combat scurvy

eggs and ground beef both go well with potatoes, I guess ketchup would also be helpful

honey can be used in tea, coffee, and is healthy enough in it's own right, also it's decent with peanut butter, and can be used on lightly cooked onions to make them taste nice (but you have to remove the biting taste, and you can't put the honey on until they're cooked or else it burns and that's terrible)

onions can be used to supplement things and are fairly strong on their own, as well as being extremely healthy if they're uncooked

they're so easy to cook, that even I know how to cook these things

they all tie in with other ingredients fairly well, bread and hamburger works with ketchup

you can buy bacon or breakfast sausages with the eggs and make hash browns, and so on

You get expired food for free if you can find it in the stores Bunnpris and Kiwi. The rules is a bit different in Kiwi though, but that's the store where you can earn money with some luck. If you find something that expires today or tomorrow, you get it. If you find something older you get a new substitute. If they can't give you a substitute (this is where it's smart to grab all the expired products), they will substitute you with money. I have easily earned and saved lots of money this way over the years. You can also sell the food you find for extra profit if you know where and how to

20km to three decimal places seems a bit overprecise.

I wouldn't be here browsing /jew/ if my parents hadn't discouraged me from buying AAPL for 2k back in 2003 or F in late 2008.

Not even kidding. But yeah, US indexes are at their all time high so this isn't the easiest time to play.

I just realised that the term 'materials science' would include every single other field of science and technology. What do they exactly study? If it's the making of end user products in the most general sense, won't it be by definition the most profitability non-security field to enter out of anything (industrial automation and research aside) in the future?

And if materials science covers everything produced, aside from artistic work, then surely there is money to be made!

Free McDonalds for a Month Modern Mom 13/03/06(Wed)07:34 No. 1032 ID: 7b4b33 [Reply]

File 13625516508.jpg - (168.34KB , 1600x1132 , mcfat.jpg )

So a month back, I was heading to work when there was a small anti-McDonald group who like to hate on them for "causing" obesity. They had this thing going on clearly inspired by "Supersize Me!" where they ask people to try this challenge of theirs.

Basically, the challenge is you have to eat nothing but McDonald products for an whole month. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner to "prove" it'll get you fat and greasy. The positive note... they paid for my entire McDonald meals for that month.

I accepted this challenge solely to get free food. I've saved a bunch of money due to this challenge and thanks to /fit/, I was able balance my weight and laugh at their faces when they saw I was just as normal as the day they laid eyes me as I turned my report to the obesophobes. (Yes, there's paperwork.)

The reason I brought this up was because I never knew they did this sorta campaigning since then. I'd figured I inform some of the penny pincher here to keep an eye out for some of these campaigns. If you're lucky, they might be near a McDonald close to you with their signs and what nots. Walk to them casually and asks "what's this all about?" or some crap like that. Or like what happened to me, they'll come to you and offer the challenge.

Think free food and say, "Yes, bitch."

Oddly, they don't seem to want homeless people to apply. So wash your ass before confronting them.

The only negative is the constipation and that feeling you get when you want a damn pizza. Also they required me to keep all the receipt and log.

Warning: Watch out for fat people. Thank you /fit/ for keeping me from becoming them.

i think i know what the problem is! them fat peoples fat folds must be fatting down into their fat eyes causing them some blindness and the only way they can find food in a blind state is by sniffing it out and yes! McDonalds smells heavenly!

Considering living homeless once I get a job and move out. Here is the list I've compiled so far of things that cost money that I'll need if I want to stay alive/employable (keeping proper hygiene, remaining readily contactable, not freezing to death etc)
Tent
Sleeping Bag (rated for freezing temperatures)
Camp mat
Portable camp stoves (1 gas powered, 1 biomaterial powered)
bicycle
bicycle trailer (for carrying all this shit)
backpack
bicycle packs
old nook (hack for free 3g hotspot)
device for email (for job emails/job apps etc.)
prepaid cell-phone (used only for job purposes)
post-office box (again for job purposes)
gym membership (for showers, bathrooms, and water)

Some people here are delusional. You don't need or want a laptop/phone/anything else electric.

The shelter I stayed at here had:
Breakfast at 7:30
Lunch at 11:30
Dinner at 4:30
With snacks/coffee in between meals; typically a plain whitebread pb sandwich or something.
Showers/washrooms were there for anyone to use, just ask for a towel.
Beds sucked because you only got a crappy blanket and couldn't use your own.

People did charge their phones there.

There was an employment office next door with internet available for an hour 3 days a week. And 15 minutes at a time if nobody was using it otherwise.

In the morning sometimes a guy would come in looking to exploit labourers he would work 12 hours and not pay minimum wage to. This is a more prevalent cause of societal problems than 'people unwilling to work' so I wouldn't do it. I can understand why people would though.

if you are in an urban area, live in a fucking van ffs. street sleeping will sap your vitality. it is horrible. even when you know what you're doing and have several friends in the same situation, it's bullshit.

trust me on this OP, or just go try it for a week.

another option is living in a shipping crate.

do you have friends in the area?

I already have a couple of bikes but they're not "Nice" ones, so every one knows I'm poor when I ride around town!

I'm running a Celeron M (1.33GHz) and less than a GB of functional RAM.

Ubuntu-LTS does me fine for an OS.

God, I need an upgrade!

I got lucky and found a dell laptop someone was selling for 50$ i bought it right away because it had a 300 gig HD and an actual video chip that could play games. Granted nothing too ground breaking, like games from like 4 years ago, but still. Guy selling it said it was full of viruses and wanted the money to buy a new anti virus so his new laptop wont get infected. One format later and i'm having a blast playing the fear series. SCORE!!

You know buying a gaming rig isn't as expensive as you might think. FM2 chips can play games pretty good and there cheap.

I took my old computer's powersupple, case and hard drive and with these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157332 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113283 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231527
Boom 160$ and i got a new gaming pc that works awesome. Plays crysis pretty good. No 1080p but i got some good 720 action going and still have room to upgrade sadly my old pc had a 160 gig hard drive only but i'm keeping an eye open for a new drive to replace it. I am thinking of using my laptop's hard drive in the pc but the desktop's hard drive wont fit in the laptop so it wouldn't have a hard drive and be kinda useless at that point.

I'm not after a gaming rig, it's just a little depressing when my primary PC has specs. barely higher than my phone.

When I do upgrade though I'll probably be looking at a netbook, I run everything to my TV anywhoos and it'll be nice to have the option of portability and increased space on my desktop.
