Among the tight knit group of friends that I had the majority of my psychedelic experiences with, we dubbed that 4 hour period after the peak as "Cranky Religion." It's when you've reached a point where you feel enlightened but too tired to give a damn. You mostly sit around and relate to one another how messed up society is.
Given how personal and intense my experiences were for both how I relate to myself and the world, but also with my relationship with my best friends, I can't imagine really doing LSD or Mushrooms in a rave/party like environment.
1. This is certainly true, but hopefully we can find a good way to combine the benefits of booting from EBS and having a fast root partition, with that of the agility of Chef/RightScript model, to decrease boot times.
2. You can version server templates to use specific revisions of RightScripts and recipes. In fact, the Chef implementation is built around using a branch or commit SHA1 to specify what versions of the recipes you want to use from your repository.
What makes a pancake inherently something 'not vegan'? The ethical concerns which led me to veganism in no way removed pancakes from my desired diet. As such, I make them on a regular basis.
Just because somebody doesn't eat meat doesn't mean they don't like the concept of the meal in general. I make vegan versions of tacos, hamburgers, chicken salad, and egg salad because I like everything else about the meal other than the animal product. If I can substitute the animal for a plant based alternative I can enjoy the meals I've always loved, why wouldn't I?
