    @msharp Ha! I actually rode past the Tierpark (Zoo) a little while later. There are several crossings that all look the same TBH. (And hello @beantrees! Nice to meet you!)


    Remembering when we launched the @canva iPhone app *five years ago today* and all dressed up like Steve Jobs to celebrate. 😂📱 @nicwinton @TheRealBnut @MelanieCanva @icosahebron @kouky @themaninblue @cliffobrecht https://t.co/JGlG7RS0A4

    @joneaves @seedycat I’ve been streaming knitting since the start of the year, off and on. It’s fun! https://t.co/YTHlokdD6L (I don’t really crochet, but I’m sure there’d be an audience.)


    It’s always fun to attend the @BerlinAWSUG! First speaker is @_jan_schulte_ from @epsagon talking observability. #o11y https://t.co/bsr95XJKaX


    @ReneGoretzka @dtraub @BerlinAWSUG @_jan_schulte_ @epsagon Nice, welcome! I like it because I’m not fluent in German so I always learn more from the talks in English. 🙂


    Second speaker at @BerlinAWSUG is @cherep213 from @deliveryherocom talking Lambda optimisation. He gave a nice shoutout to @alex_casalboni for Lambda Power Tuning! https://t.co/jBFGiVQc6C


    @darkosubotica Lame. I tweeted once using only my *voice*. 😜 https://t.co/01HDN5XyYi

    Ooh, you can now download the list of all 2580 classification labels & 239 bounding box labels supported by Amazon Rekognition. Interestingly, KNITTING and WEAVING are both included, but CROCHET is not. I’m going to have to run some experiments. 😃🧶

    @damana I’m a 3-er, but I’ve come across 4-ers in the past.


    You may have heard about the devastating floods in Germany and other countries recently. Thankfully we are not affected, but I did ride to the Isar today to see the difference. On the top: last October. Bottom: today. 😳🌊 https://t.co/xRrwHqJu7F

    @annie_parker Lovesick was excellent too if you haven’t seen it yet!


    @annie_parker It gave me lovely memories of being a young person living in the UK. ❤️


    I learned a new German expression from The Little Mermaid, of all things: “08/15”. No really, it’s a thing. Ursula says it! It means, like, normal and boring in an insulting way. (I reckon it’s actually very close to how Aussies use “average.”) https://t.co/GTTwEtkGy4 https://t.co/zPAaCuT4VN


    @Exceliton Haha, you caught it at least! 😂👍


    Sun came out so we went for a wander. We’re debating whether this counts as a true biergarten, but they call it that on the signage so I’m going with it. 🍻 (2021 Biergarten count: 11) @ Winkelstüberl München https://t.co/GZteDIiHID


    @094459 So it’s another band playing the music of the Smiths? That would be fun. Love their music, but not a huge fan of Moz these days.
