Riding a motorcycle in nature with perfect weather, new sights, and smells. Preferably while exploring a 'new to me' country.

Oh my god, yes! I miss riding one and I hope to get my permit to drive a bigger one than 125cc. Unfortunately, the weather and the insurance cost are prohibitive to do that right now in Canada. Riding one on country roads in France was the best feeling ever.

For most content, helping people by writing code. Not that cringe enterprise code, nor the framework-based “nice” code. The one that does the thing just like a short, perhaps blunt, phrase makes a point. Getting blackout drunk etc once a year with my less responsible friends and wreak a little havoc at the place. Sinking couch in a pool, terrace broken by falling/wrestling, next day investigations, you get the idea.…

so the couch was ruined?

Easy one for me. Dancing to reggae music in front of a very good sound system. It's a fantastic sensation. Your entire body vibrating, compelling you to move in harmony with everyone else in the dance. It's the closest to a religious experience I ever get. This video pretty much sums it up: https://youtu.be/AvKTMv4E09Y?t=99 Yes you need ear plugs.

For me it's all about goa trance, but I think the idea must be the same. Dancing is a sacrament in my nonexistent religion; I respect you as a co-practicioner from a different denomination :-)
