Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

**Start February energized!** Open your eyes, heart and soul and lose yourself in the eyes of a stranger for one minute. Explore a sense of belonging within our community while enjoying a moment of connection with a fellow human being. ►𝗪𝗛𝗬 Explore and express who you are: A human being. 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 When someone approaches us on the street, sometimes there is an incentive to sell something in particular. Yet, in this event, you have the unique opportunity to experience how we connect with each other without any intention. Here, you can feel truly being seen and understood. Experience the joy of human connection. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 Eye contact is a simple form of meditation that allows you to observe your thoughts and feelings with much more clarity. This so called awareness is your gateway to a joyful life. Experience a day full of curiosity, peace and presence. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 For some of us, looking into the eyes of someone can be a difficult, daunting task. Yet it is proven that people looking into the eyes of others are perceived as more confident. This skill can be trained like a muscle. In other words, you are going to feel much more comfortable around other people. Learning this skill can be useful in holding a public speech, a company meeting, at dating or talking with your friends and family. 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀 Meet open-minded, positive people and connect with all kinds of them. Experience acceptance free of any judgement. Find a safe place where we see commonalities over differences. We are all part of the same family. 𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 Nowadays, we are glued to our phones and social media. We, almost by accident, learned to avoid contact with fellow human beings where the generation before us used to have conversations with strangers while riding the tram, bus or train. Many friendships and romantic relationships used to stem from these casual interactions in public life. Let’s solve the problem of the increasing sense of division, isolation and loneliness by coming together and be truly present and communicate with each other, verbally and non-verbally. ►𝗛𝗢𝗪 Choose someone, offer this person to sit in front of you and make yourself comfortable. Bring a blanket or something similar to comfortably sit down. Alternatively, you can do the eye gazing while standing. Look into each others eyes for a minute (or even longer). Enjoy the silence and observe what happens. Expect nothing, yet be open for everything. ►𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 The eye contact experiment is a beautiful and powerful experience that… • offers you to explore human connection through non-verbal communication. • can make your day, and for some people even change their life. • brings people together. ►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 18th January, from 5:30pm until 7:30 pm. ►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 Giardini Indro Montanelli Via Palestro, 14, 20121 Milano MI https://maps.app.goo.gl/BHc5ZRpMBBPZJ6iy5 Not sure where we are?

Ciao! Dopo WordCamp Torino e WordCamp Europe abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per organizzare il nostro incontro, anche se con un po' di ritardo. L'appuntamento di giugno è per **martedì 16 alle 19**, **sempre al Politecnico di Milano ma in una nuova sede:** **Via Edoardo Bassini, 6 / Edificio 41** **Link Google Maps:** https://maps.app.goo.gl/WxQp1JNsqSXWRDRQ8 Ed ecco il talk di questo mese: **WordPress 7.0 ed il suo nuovo client AI** I pericoli del nuovo Client AI di WordPress: "da grandi poteri derivano grandi responsabilità", ma qui non tutti sembrano rendersene conto. La decisione su quale modello usare e quale tetto di token imporre è delegata interamente al plugin, via codice, senza alcun limite globale lato amministratore. Tradotto: un plugin scritto con leggerezza, che non limita i token in uscita o preferisce di default un modello costoso, può bruciare cifre importanti a tua insaputa, e te ne accorgi solo leggendo la fattura. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Saremo in diretta streaming Non puoi partecipare di persona? Noi non ti giudicheremo! :) Se vuoi, puoi seguirci anche in diretta streaming su YouTube. Il link sarà visibile solo una volta che avrai fatto la tua iscrizione all'evento. Durante la diretta, se vorrai, potrai intervenire anche tu usando una webcam e un microfono per dire la tua: basterà usare il link che verrà fornito via chat. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- In breve, ecco come sarà organizzata la serata: 19:00 Benvenuto + networking 19:20 Panel (di circa 50 minuti) 20:10 Domande e risposte 20:30 Fine; Chi vuole può continuare il networking in un bar o pizzeria vicino al luogo dell’evento. All’inizio dell’incontro faremo il conteggio per prenotare: per non creare disguidi conferma la presenza solo se sei sicuro di venire. Networking significa che ci sarà tempo per chiacchierare con chi partecipa e fare amicizia. Potresti trovare una persona interessante, un futuro cliente, un futuro fornitore o un nuovo partner di lavoro, chi può dirlo? Non riesci a venire, o devi dare la tua disdetta? Nessun rancore, sarà per la prossima. Ti chiediamo solo di farci sapere 24 ore prima così - liberiamo il tuo posto per altre persone. Vuoi essere speaker? Beh, nulla di più facile: Compila il modulo [cliccando qui](https://wpmilano.org/speaker-form/). Ti risponderemo per fornirti tutti i dettagli. Ci vediamo lì! 😉

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
