You don’t have to be around other people, and all the hassles that human society and population density entail.
Some people are really into that. I’m really into same-day Amazon delivery and 30 minute latency on fresh pizza that I didn’t have to cook.
- givinguflac 2y agoI just wanted to say thank you for the phrase “30 minute latency on fresh pizza” I’d never considered it latency but you’re right and it’s hilarious.
- fc417fc802 2y agoTaking time to cook elaborate meals is enjoyable if it isn't getting in the way of some other demand on your time. Living off grid you're probably going to have a lot less of those.
- sneak 2y agoLiving off grid means off the electrical and water/sewer/gas utility grid. In almost no case does it mean off the internet now given Starlink; thus I think it’s silly to assume that a) being connected to the internet and b) having to admin all of your own utilities and associated equipment means you’re going to have fewer demands on your time. :D Separately I love cooking as recreation, but don’t have much recreation time these days given my project-load (most of my projects being a form of recreation notwithstanding). One of the reasons I am building a (mostly) off-grid place is because I like adminning infrastructure recreationally. I can’t wait to hook up my solar system to Home Assistant and Prometheus/Grafana.
