I have decided to try to research more about living independently despite being very dependent on my mother still in life.

For background, I am in the middle of my first year at college, and although I've grown to have a good distance from my relatives I still need them for some things. I would like to create a bigger gap between us, but I have no idea for what I need to research.

Since I live in the US, I have whored out the common government aid programs available (state insurance). Could any give advice for someone progressing to an independent lifestyle? Are there any government aid programs I should look into as a low income college student?

I also know I need a driver's license still, but the town I go to college in has a good public transportation infrastructure, so it's not the top of my priority right now.

I mainly spend money on food, but I am looking to gain / save more for some sudden medical bills that are coming up in the next few months.

/cars/

Anybody else in the bunker enjoy cars and motorsport? Discuss anything motoring related here.

To start I'll say I've spent the last few days doing the brakes on my own car, including new calipers. Fucking hard work on an old POS, nothing comes apart easily.

>Why not go for it
In addition to the reasons I listed, there's a 15-year import rule in my cunt so I can't buy new, the trucks I'm finding are all manual transmission which I don't know how to drive and apparently they don't go very fast–I wouldn't want to strain the engine just trying to drive at highway speeds.
Still, I'm probably going to do it. I'm so tired of the shitty fuel efficiency of my van and the trucks are stupidly cheap. The one in picrel only has ~50k km on it and is going for $10k

After doing a bit of reading, it seems like the Supercharged Subaru Sambar is the Kei truck I want. They're the easiest to work on, it's the only one with a 4-cylinder engine, said engine is located behind the rear axle as opposed to under the seat and it has the most spacious cab. Unfortunately they're relatively scarce. I'd much rather just buy one from a localish dealership with of all the bureaucracy already dealt with but I'm starting to think I'm going to need to deal with an importer, do a bunch of paperwork to get it road legal and possibly even drive it home 1600km from the port in Halifax. This would end up being cheaper than buying it ready-to-go but the amount of work involved is daunting. Needless to say I'm having second thoughts and am starting to look at late 80s/early 90s trucks in general since this was the last time auto makers made reasonably sized vehicles

You should learn how to drive manual. There's really nothing to it and it's a good skill to have.

Such a shame that Skoda became glorified Volkswagens and Tatra ceased production on passenger vehicles. Czechoslovakia's auto industry had so much potential.

why?
t. me again 3 years later

turns out withdrawal is hell tho btw

Amphetamines
Opioids
Amitriptyline
Antibiotics
Cannabis
Tobacco
Alcohol
muscle relaxants
Benzos

Speedballing is by.far.my favourite
Hate weed actually makes me paranoid and anxious as.fuck, not pleasant at all.
Benzos and muscle relaxants don't really do anything for me except make me ok with shoplifting, relaxants just make me feel sluggish like on alcohol.

Don't be rama rama

>erowid
>has categories for chocolate, wasabi, breathing, fasting and meditation
>nothing for orgasms, sex, masturbation or anything
I wonder why that's been omitted. It's clearly in-scope.

I attempt a withdrawel from heavy alcohol abuse for years with Lorazepam and Levetiracetam. Thoughts? I am bit afraid of getting addicted to Benzos.

Old thread (v1): https://leftypol.org/hobby/res/7136.html

The practice and principles of Permaculture are one of the most important tools for not only creating a sustainable socialism, but also for repairing the damage done to the global ecosystem by capitalism, and lessening your individual reliance on the current capitalist system.Permacultural practice and socialism are two very powerful allies, and learning about permaculture should be necessity for modern socialists and communists.

update: fixed my car, got a new water heater and fixed my ride mower. got some veggies in the ground, they're starting to pop up (in addition to some grass). potatoes haven't peeked up yet

Can regular gardens play too? I planted root vegetables today!

My mom's planning to grow a potato. We had a tomato go pretty good for a year but got too much salt becuse we tried using sweat from washing a shirt with bottled water when the water cut off. Potatos seem hard to fumble.

Next thread should probably just be /grow/ or something. Permaculture is good but the barrier to entry should be as low as possible.

Streaming service original, "PRESTIGE" TV is ruining TV. Its a middle ground between lower budget network tv shows that used to churn out 15-40 episodes and actual movies. Instead you have series that go for 6-10 episodes, release them all at once to "binge" and then wait 2+ years for another season, thats if it doesn't fall flat on its face and get cancelled after one season after failing to make enough to cover their 150 million dollar budget to make a show that is only slightly visually better than an early 2000s CW show. Most of these 6 episode shows should have had around half the material cut and simply made into a 2.5 hour long mid range movie.

Because of how streaming services and prestige TV is monetized it's a lot easier to do Hollywood Accounting with it. Basically there's no good (or at least no established) way to determine how much revenue a given show brings the company, since the money comes from subscriptions that aren't to any specific show. That makes it much easier to claim a show failed and so it can become a tax writeoff (if they think that will be better for them than gamlbing on future seasons).

>thats if it doesn't fall flat on its face and get cancelled after one season
At least they get a full season. On broadcast TV they cut like half the shows a few episodes in.

get real problems

i really hope you're joking for banter and not actually stupid enough to think filenames or folders are an appropriate system. there are extremely obvious issues.

>>43871
the filesystem as an interface is adequate, but implementation via inodes leaves a lot to be desired. it's a data structure issue, as you noted. my current solution is to keep individual directories small and sort files into deep topical trees, like a semantic version of qmail's split directories.
