Warum reißen die in Bayern die AKW ab wenn Söder doch sagt dass der Atomausstieg nicht endgültig ist?

Will er da etwa auch Bier predigen und stattdessen Cola light trinken?

We kind of had to go to Texas Cantina (again) while in Tallinn, and yes, they have #icecream on the menu. This is a good day.

Taras Kloba gave a nice talk using PostgreSQL and Graphs to identify who did drink beer together.

I'm safe, I'm not in this graph. Why? Because although I'm supposed to be German, I don't drink beer and therefore don't appear in the data!

Seven years ago, at #PGConfEU in #Lisbon, we agreed to meet for #icecream this year. This was migrated over to the next todo list tool, and now finally happened in #Riga!

Of course we agreed on another ice cream date at some point in the future.

ascherbaum.bsky.social @ascherbaum.bsky.social · 5d

We have an #icecream date later today. Had to go and make sure the venue has ice cream, and is open!

After a long afternoon of exploring Vilnius and finding quite a few caches, we settled for a good restaurant with #icecream on the menu.

"Einzelne Unionspolitiker fordern Abkehr von Brandmauer"

Habe Hoffnung dass es vernünftige Menschen in der Union gibt. Lese den Artikel: nein, die wollen noch mehr Zusammenarbeit, also noch weiter nach rechts.

Das wird die Zahlen der #noAfD ganz bestimmt senken.

Einzelne Unionspolitiker fordern Kurswechsel im Umgang mit der AfD

Enjoying a sunny day with a walk in the city, and an #icecream.

In the front on the left a hot chocolate in an orange cup, on the right two scoops of ice cream with a waffle in a glass bowl. In the back a white plate with a lemon cake.

Pulled an old #Nokia 105 from the shelf, which we use as CoC phone for #PGConfEU. Last used and charged once a year ago in Athens.

Plugged in the charger, it's still half charged and would probably last another year ...

Following the analogy of the other picture: 4 WarehousePG stickers, arranged 2 by 2, like they'd be mirrored.

We're having fun with stickers: "Multiple WHPG segments"

3 WarehousePG stickers next to each other, representing segments, I guess. It's Andreas Scherbaum being funny.

Dave and I are considering submitting a Video, Graphics and Audion Devroom for #FOSDEM.

Would you be interested in helping us organise the Devroom, if it gets accepted? How can we get in touch with you?

Went #running into the #TegelerFließ to check a #Geocache. Unfortunately the container was stolen, but the view was nice - despite some rain.

That's now how I left his #Geocache back in January. Container open, filled with water, logbook gone.

This cache is not even registered yet, and placed deep in the swamps of the #TegelerFließ.

We can't have good things, placed it there to see if it survives in the wilderness.

#Geocaching #Berlin

A geocache container, the lid is gone, it's full of water and the logbook is missing.
