I figured it out: the thing my life is missing is a swimming pool full of frolicking capybaras.
@thursdayb pantanal, brazil is the place for you to be!
@thursdayb the only little problem are the mosquitoes.... and crocodiles... and extremely unbearable humid heat
@gaba I googled 'pantanal brazil capybara' and the results are making me think that a trip might be worth the humidity, mosquitoes, and crocodiles.
Maybe say, next February when I can convince myself to go *anywhere* with *any sun at all*
@thursdayb actually it is an amazing place but I highly recommend to research what time of the year is best because mentioned humid heat.
@gaba I'm currently checking for technical conferences with open CFPs within a day's drive of Campo Grande :)
@thursdayb There is a very big open source conference happening in the south of Brazil! Let me check the dates as I went when I was living in UY
@gaba Ooooh, perfect :)
@thursdayb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%B3rum_Internacional_Software_Livre .. The next one is in May http://softwarelivre.org/
@thursdayb And then you have the cryptoraves in brazil https://cryptorave.org/
@gaba both of these look fun
