I have never smoked, but I use nicotine gum occasionally. It feels like it gives me a slight “edge” when I need to concentrate better, and I definitely feel more of an effect than with typical caffeine doses (which I don’t consume regularly either). I tend to chew the gums longer than regular chewing gums, but I feel no particular desire for them when, and actually tend to forget I have them.

From recent personal experience at a startup, I am inclined to believe the view, as it makes said experience make a lot more sense.

A friend going to the local Academy of Fine Arts did this for months at a time, having set up his living quarters in his classes’ studio. His lodgings were certainly posher than my 32sqm apartment, but he had to build his own shower from a bucket and a clothes hanger.
An online HTML/JS CV resonated well for me. This was mostly the case with startups without specialized recruiters.
This particular instance needn’t have much to do with misogyny. I was in a similar situation once in school.
Nice, I hereby commit to being there :)
Took the survey, but this post will make the reported karma score inaccurate
Coming after all, hooray!
Curses, I missed this announcement, and am now indisposed. Well, maybe next time...
About expiration dates: For many foods (not fresh meats though), these may not be actual expiration dates but generously calculated minimum shelf lives. For me at least, eggs and milk will stay good for weeks beyond their labels.
Eggs are very versatile. Scrambled eggs can be combined with any number of spices, fried vegetables, milk, meats. Before I got into cooking this used to be a staple food of mine. You may also add eggs to soup, noodles, rice. If you are worried about expiry you can hardboil the otherwise uneaten eggs. These can be kept a long time and eaten alone, on bread, in salads.
Another good source of protein with long shelf life may be parmesan, but perhaps too expensive.

eggs: can be kept uncooled for a while, very long shelf life hard-boiled, easy to prepare in small portions.
milk: do you get UHT milk? It has an uncooled shelf life of months and tends to be cheaper than fresher variants.
meat: consider smoked or dried meats (bacon, salami).
pasta: reasonably easy to prepare in smaller portions
Out of interest, where do you live that cigarettes are so much cheaper than food? One pack of cigerattes here (Germany) will buy me 2 days worth of (cheap) food.
What Barry said, however, I have heard that you may not be able to work as a foreign student. But then, I have a colleague from Canada. I’ll ask him for specifics. Austria may also be a good choice, as there are no admission fees, but I don’t know any details.
Do you know of any techniques to measure your own manipulability somewhat objectively?
I find your basic proposal sympathetic, since I have more or less been following the idea of optimal employment myself, but with different preferences. In that light, I find your advice highly specific, which is very useful for people with similar preferences, but less interesting for others like me.
To add my current personal choice to the mix: Here in Germany the cost of being enrolled at university is relatively low: from 50-500€ / semester, depending on federal state and university. On the other hand, you get the benefit of being able to work as “Werkstudent”, where you pay only a flat amount of social security, which is usually the largest deduction from income. I work as a programmer on that basis, and have very flexible working hours, and lots of free time to pursue academic interests, and enough money to pay my bills. If I want or need extra money, I can choose to work more. I think this is a good choice if you like to live in an urban environment, especially since most German cities have a good public transport system and biking everywhere is reasonable.
I may act in accordance with different values without resulting in undirected floppyness.
For instance, I could value both animal life and wearing traditional Bavarian lederhosn, and act on these values by producing, buying and wearing lederhosn while donating money to a save-the-cows fund. But I guess I could just donate an amount relative to how much I value the cows over/under lederhosn. Hm. Okay.
Is not being hypocritical a moral value in itself, or is it above morality? Either way, why?
If my values contradict, but I don’t care about hypocrisy, should it matter to me?
