As far as the people, you couldn't pick a better section of the US to consider than the chunk that's not quite the Midwest nor the PNW, fwiw. It's a leave me alone but also let's not let eachother freeze to death environment. It's pretty special.

yeah, i have 12 movies queued up to get around to watching that are there or related to it... one of them is Close Encounters... haha... already seen that one, read the book... and Butch Cassidy and teh Sundance Kid... idk, gonna be fun but i haven't got much patience for watching movies, i'm probably gonna check out the newest ones for the super HD visuals of the landscape mostly
😂 Fun way to research but don't expect too much cultural accuracy from anything
yeah, fun, if your idea of fun is sitting very still watching some bullshit
no it's not particularly interesting from cultural perspective to me, since after all most of this shit was written in california, right? lol! or maybe i should say Langley directed the writing, in most cases, at least since the 60s...
it's just to see the landscape, really, but i can't be fucked tuning out the story and watching it in the background, either, so, no idea when i'm ackchually gonna watch em lol
possibly never, idc really, the recommendation from you and nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uqzprf5h5jryfqv2cm3wj3akxgc0za2rsfn4mrnndj2yep9naq5hcetyx556t are more strong recommendations than anything i can imagine might point me to it
hmmm, maybe i will just play them on my little display with sound off no subtitles just to catch the visuals now and then
i have three priorities in my life, aside from household duties:
coding stuff for my job
coding my own stuff
playing games
everything else is like, meh, the only thing i'd like to change is swapping out the last item for keeping my own farm
Yeah, maybe make a plan to visit the area during its worst weather months, if possible... I'm not sure if that area experiences the influx & flee cycles like where I am at, but it's worth exploring any potential farm/ranch areas at peak discomfort 😅
indeed... yes, i am familiar with strong winds and icy cold, and starting to get used to the whole cycle of things, to make hay while the sun shines... so i will probably dedicate the first year to just getting my bearings in a more convenient position and establishing the essentials and exploring and probably be ready for some bleeding cold windy nasty weather... i think there is sometimes tornadoes right, maybe i'll get to have me a wind storm before i even leave the first little town i plop down in
