 I actually have. In fact I do that once a year for more than a fortnight during hunting season. Totally off-grid and by my choosing. 
 Hontoni? Like totally totally off? Man i couldn’t imagine. Sure ive been in places where there is no signal or wifi. And then camp for a few days and then leave. But sort of planned camping duration and with a car with fuel and lots of supplies (food, medicine, whatever else). Also thanks to elon even if we choose to not be connected the signal still surrounds you (see image) and if needed can be used to locate devices unless your stuffing it inside a faraday. https://image.nostr.build/50a1bfa7c132b0c559f325364788456f70cba0047f5a3c763ea7c436457ed077.jpg  
 Off grid where a phone is utterly  useless. Myself and a few other hunters out in the wild. We hunt and forage. We don’t take much other than caping and hunting gear. That’s life in our part of the alps. 
 Okay, but I think framing yourself as the "standard Nostr user", when you don't even care about having electricity, would shrink the potential market down to about 2000 people, including some reclusive tribes living in the Amazon and Himalayan hermits. 
 My girl, there is nothing standard about me at all.  I now do believe quite a lot of people here are wired slaves. 
 Well, we're software developers. 🤷‍♀️  
 IM A DEVELOPER U GOTTA THINK LIKE ME 
 So you don’t have a life outside of this space? Is that what I’m getting out of your insistence that Nostr, the protocol is your life? You don’t hug your loved ones? You get emailed sustenance or something? You eat and shit code? You stick to this idealism so hard it makes you sound crazy. I also feel sorry for you if that’s the case. 
 No, I'm saying you think it's weird that we care about software development so much, but a lot of us are software developers.

That's like complaining that cooks think a lot about food or kindergarden teachers think a lot about early child development. 
 I don’t think it’s weird. I do think that that is your job, a hobby, a passion however, you are still made of flesh and have real life needs. Needs that software or any amount of your brilliance in coding will never solve. 
 True. And hence the cliches around devs having bifocals 🤓 and other such. But damn i have seen some shredded devs in this space who climb/hike and eat healthy and have families. Haven’t met too many of those outside of this space. 
 Dude it’s weird you can’t give it a rest

You bitched about mean people on the internet because you’re soft as fuck

AK dared to think differently than you

You can’t let it go. Get the fuck over it you cry baby 
 Lol anon I dont see raised voices between anyone until you came in. AK and Lae were very civil. They just getting to know each other. 
 You are wrong ☹️ 
 I see 
 I know you think I'm a dorky computer nerd and a loser, but maybe a dorky computer nerd loser understands the significance and potential of a communications protocol better than you do.

I'm passionate about it because I understand it, and not just because I'm nuts. 
 No shit :P sherlock. Majority of the people here end up staring at a screen 8+ hours. Its why nostr exists in the first place. Devs writing code, and they stare at screens a lot. Your lifestyle makes you probably more fit and healthy and happy than 90% of people here.
