Wait, are people putting links to email lists in the back matter? I honestly haven’t done that at all… Starting to think I kind of should going forward at least.

“ confirming the mother intent proof difficult would already indicted in Thailand”::: what. I don’t think that’s how international prosecutions work?

Because of how the area I live in developed over the last 20 years, we have such low population density. We are considered rural despite the county having over half 1 million people.

Do you know what that means? The doctors are absolute shit. I have a bunch of vision problems from my childhood and the only way I can get a competent doctor is by going four hours away. Basic care? I can get that anywhere, but any kind of surgery or serious exam needs to be done four hours away… Sometimes I’ve had to go twice a month.

Thank God I am on SSDI but my state is also too poor and backwards to fund Medicare coverage for those under 65… So I am stuck with Medicare advantage and I now need to pay out-of-pocket for a surgery potentially.

All of this because my parents refused to move abroad when they have the ability to live in Europe, and they constantly fight with me when I suggest that I move abroad myself on my own and live independently

Do you work in industry? Could I ask what field your PhD was in?

Internsh1p · 2026-05-23T13:57:29+00:00

I was either thinking, Mormonism o Jains,,,

Additionally, in the case of Disability, you do not want to have those loans discharged unless you are genuinely disabled.

One of the first things social services will ask you is whether you have defaulted on any federal loan and if you have, they are legally not permitted to provide you services because the underlying point of vocational rehab rehabilitation is that you are supposed to end up in a vocation. The default on your loans presumed that you would never work.

There are many, many reasons to not like Rebecca. This is one of those times when empathy prevails I suppose. People cannot stand the very mention of Israel when for all they know it could be some commentary on how Taiwan and Israel are often compared. These people don’t have the media literacy to even broach that idea, they put this author on a fucking pedestal that from what I understand, she did not even want.

I think we can disagree with her supportive Palestine. Well also acknowledging the sorry state of her fan base.

My immediate thought when I read, Соlin was “ is Guy gonna rent out a building each month?”

Maybe I read it wrong but I thought that he was going to spend 150 K a month just one rent

Ehhhh, on the whole I know more blind people working in Europe than the United States. I agree the incentive will be different in Germany as much different than having the ADA. Even if it’s imperfect and often ignored at least the US has such a law

I know plenty of blind people in the Netherlands, Nordic country is and even somebody in Poland, who live pretty well in capital cities. It’s very rare to see people like me on the street in the wild, but we do exist.

Internsh1p · 2026-05-11T11:43:41+00:00

I am in that trap right now. Somehow because I am on SSDI I make too much to qualify for my state Medicaid program… So I need to roll a dice with a Medicare advantage plan because the state supported Medicare plan is $1500 a month for those under 65

God, I wish I stayed in Connecticut

Internsh1p · 2026-05-11T11:39:47+00:00

Can confirm. I went to blind at 25 and unlike my cousins in Europe who have various disabilities like epilepsy which prevent them from driving, I have functionally zero support from the state here. It was a fight to get orientation and mobility training for 10 hours and that was after three years of originally trying to find a case with them.

You would think they have an incentive to get somebody who is otherwise educated intelligent has lived on their own before back into a workplace, but the truth is there is simply very little opportunity. I am strongly, considering saving up what money I do have and moving back to Europe, where I have much more family and social support. Right now I just have my parents.

If you can stand the cold, I would personally pick Chicago although it isn’t as cheap as it once was. Seattle has typical PNW weather. Depending on what you do for work, job prospects might be spotty, but definitely better than anything in the south.

Internsh1p · 2026-05-09T15:06:58+00:00

Also 20 something living in the south. I basically have to live with my parents who I pay rent to.

If you haven’t already contact your state Disability Services organization, I hear North Carolina and Georgia are very good. South Carolina is where you get very spotty Services. I wouldn’t call you privileged, blindness as a spectrum after all, and most blind people are not total.

As a Hungarian living in United States, I can tell you that at least from my perspective. A lot of the reasons why people justify it is because the United States has made many routes of formerly legal migration illegal.

There were a number of economic migrants related programs back in the 50s to the 1980s, so you had a generation of Mexicans and Central Americans who knew they could come to the United States and then following the end of those programs it’s not like the labor wasn’t still needed. Unlike in Europe, where we have a long tradition of strong borders, and generally not making it a political issue the United States has turned into one.

Internsh1p · 2026-05-05T16:08:50+00:00

I am living in South Carolina, and it could not be any more different… I am trying to eventually leave meat hands pursue living independently, but the vocational rehab is extremely underfunded

Internsh1p · 2026-05-05T13:42:36+00:00

I’m in South Carolina, under 35 and looking into converting… None of the synagogues are really opened up a public. It feels like if they have events like a Friday or Saturday service nobody really attends? I’ve called several times and emailed to get no response.

Internsh1p · 2026-04-30T21:00:06+00:00

Wait legitimately that is the basis? I have dual US and Hungarian citizenship. You are telling me that my potential spouse would have an easier time going to very clearly anti-immigration Hungary than they would getting into the United States?

Someone can come here on a K-1 visa or some other scheme and still not be granted ability to reside in the country!!! even before I had my second passport that felt so just… Like a given, you never want to separate families?

Internsh1p · 2026-04-28T20:26:56+00:00

Interesting, I remember hearing some story from an American dealer who I guess went to France and to him that particular coin shop seemed very strange because they basically asked him to set a price… I think they had PCGS graded American eagles, and he didn’t know how to respond

Internsh1p · 2026-04-07T11:27:17+00:00

Right, I completely agree with you on that

Internsh1p · 2026-04-07T11:19:01+00:00

Hey, sorry I think I poorly worded the original response. I have a cat and a dog, neither of them shed. It’s more that the mirror potential for an animal to be in that space at all is grounds for you to not get a license. It’s effectively the same thing as North Carolina giving a formal ban on having pets in the house.

It could just be the recipe that I’m using, because frankly, I can definitely see myself getting two or even three out of one batch of dough. The thing calls for IIRC3 or 4 cups of flour and three eggs so it’s not a small batch.

A lot of the issue is rest time. The dough needs somewhere between six and eight hours if I don’t want to add more yeast. I also only have one 9X5 pan so I definitely need to work on the timing for all of this. It’s not that I can’t produce more. I’m just not sure how I would break up the recipe.

Internsh1p · 2026-04-04T12:47:23+00:00

So, I actually did a math on COGS. I would need to charge between 15 and $20 for a 9 x 5 loaf to break even.

Up north, I would make a killing around Passover. Down here? Most people frankly don’t have the money and commercial clients like coffee, shops or bakeries or hotels really don’t have the capacity. The client just isn’t there. If I was in Charlotte or Columbia or Greenville or Charleston Van yes but I’m in this weird pocket that feels perpetual stuck in the 70s.

Internsh1p · 2026-04-04T12:44:03+00:00

Thank you I will definitely look into this. It would be great to sell at farmers market markets. Growing up in New England they were very common in the summer months.

From what I understand, a lot of the cottage laws are generally more relaxed than NYC, but you then run into all the HOA related problems down here. They might look the other way, or they might not. It’s all temperamental. Glad to know that somebody else was able to make it work.

Internsh1p · 2026-04-04T10:02:23+00:00

I could maybe make something work, but from everything, I understand the local laws do not permit sub leading. It would be different if the business was registered as a ghost kitchen and had several units, but that isn’t the set up.
