Dear friends, the loess-face on the Ungerberg near Weiden/Neusiedlersee is a marvelous place to watch: bee-eaters, jackdaws, starlings and maybe, rabbits on the same wall. There are two options afterwards, we can decide on the spot 1. We can go downhill, to the Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen, a protected meadow in the national park: Neusiedlersee. There are flowering already, so I hope, different kinds of Iris and with a certain probability, we can see stilts, lapwings or other rare birds. Please note: this option means 10 km by feet, minimum. 2. Or we can return the same way with a stop in one of the numerous Heurigen on the way to the railway station. It’s the shorter way. The dryness in this season indicates that we go as soon as possible, because the flowering period of many plants is shorter than usual. Meeting point is **Hauptbahnhof: 9:00** We go by train with Destination **Pamhagen** **Departure: 9:09** please look at the timetabe for the right platform, because ist net yet indicated. **Buy a ticket to Weiden/See, go and return.** I hope to see you again at this great hiking occasion with best regards ADI Liebe Freunde, Die Löss-Wand am Ungerberg bei Weiden/Neusiedler See ist einer der faszinierendsen Plätze um folgende Arten zu beobachten: Bienenfresser, Dohlen, Stare und manchmal auch Kaninchen. Sie alle haben in der selben Wand ihre Nisthöhlen, die man aus nächster Nähe beobachten kann. Danach gibt es zwei Optionen, die wir vor Ort noch wählen können 1. Wir können den Berg runter gehen, zu den Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen, die ein Teil des Nationalpark Neusiedlersee sind. Wir werden dabei ca. 10 km zu Fuss gehen, wenn das ein Problem ist, bitte nicht diese Variante wählen. 2. Oder den selben Weg zurück zum Bahnhof und im Ort einkehren, was wesentlich weniger Wegstrecke ist ist. In den Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen blühen, so hoffe ich, verschiedene, seltene Arten Iris und es besteht die Wahrscheinlichkeit, Rotschenkel, Stelzenläufer und Kiebitze zu sehen. Die Trockenheit in diesem Jahr legt nahe, dass wir diesen Ausflug so bald wie möglich machen, weil viele Blumen früher und zugleich kürzer blühen, als sonst. Wir fahren mit dem Zug Richtung **Pamhagen, vom Hauptbahnhof** ab und treffen uns dort um **9:00.** **Abfahrt: 9:09**, bitte auf der Anzeigetafel nachsehen, auf welchem Gleis. Das ist im Fahrplan noch nicht angegeben. Bitte kauft ein **Ticket nach Weiden/See mit Rückfahrt.** Ich freue mich auf möglichst viele Interessierte. Liebe Grüße Adi

[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI — and we'd love for you to join us. Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing. Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together. Think of it like your weekly gym session — except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months. Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people. Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find — and it happens naturally here. From pros to newbies everyone is welcome. No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build. Wednesdays @ weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

On se rencontre chaque mercredi pour parler français. Parmi nous, il y a des gens qui ont le français comme langue maternelle, et des gens qui aiment le français et le maîtrisent plus ou moins. On aime discuter et parler de tout et de rien, et on est toujours content de recevoir des gens qui sont de passage ou des nouvelles personnes qui veulent écouter, parler, pratiquer ou poser des questions. Cette semaine, on retourne au Café Merkur, Café sympa et calme avec une cuisine de mediteranée orientale. La table est toujours gérée d'une façon très libre et relaxée, on se rencontre et on parle aux autres participants et participantes autour de nous. NOTE: Si vous comptez venir, inscrivez-vous s'il vous plaît, pour qu'on puisse prévoir assez (mais pas trop non plus) d'espace au restaurant. Comme ça, on sera à l'aise et l'endroit qui nous accueille aussi. On commence à 18h30 , mais ce n'est pas un problème de rejoindre après. Normalement, il y a au moins une dizaine de personnes qui vient aux rencontres. Cette rencontre est aussi annoncée sur notre groupe facebook ("Vienna French Meetings") A mercredi alors!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
