this is gonna sound crazy but were i to enter a monastic life the last thing i'd want is to be around a homogenous group of computer touchers then again as long as we never talk about it outside of practical necessity that's probably fine remember: 'right speech' means never talking about bitcoins or teslas

imagine living a life of monastic study, memorizing quotes from ESR and using them to describe the beauty of a rose. group meals taken in silence except for one brother reading the text of the GNU GPL. hard labor to enrich the body. no computers anywhere, the most complex device is the water clock in the bell tower

I think someone in my neighborhood found the petite bourgeois way out -- they set up their ~wanderlust~ van and then left and rented their house out exploiting the bay housing crisis and being a rent-seeker to support your insta-lifstyle

i like to think that discerning thieves look at cars with instagram and twitter icons/names emblazoned on them with something about their wanderlust journey like 'this probably has some decent poo poo to steal in it'

the fact you can get stickers to put on the windows of your wanderlust chariot or ~sweet ride~ with your insta handle is a pretty good reification of the whole concept of these things

i'm thinking about rejoining tech after the winter cos while it's cool and fun being a semiemployed mountain man the pay loving sucks. also today was the last sunset of the year, it's not getting back above the horizon for the next two months. had some nice views recently though, once the snow arrives properly i've got lots of ski tours planned  Silver Alicorn posted:but plenty of wine

only one of my wines has made it a far as bottling so far so i dunno if the others will be any good, but from samples i've tried at racking i think they'll all be at least drinkable mainly wine just takes a long time. you're laying down stuff that won't be ready to pour into a glass for six months minimum, likely a year or more. my experience making alcohol so far is that it's about 99.9% waiting and 0.1% scrupulously cleaning all your equipment to avoid just making vinegar i want to try distilling at some point but i don't really have the space for a still, maybe once i move to that shack in the mountains
