TRAVEL WELL: People with superior communication abilities travel better. Fact. We make our own luck by communicating the best we can. Maybe I’m part idiot, but I believe in the innate decency of people, that people will be respectful, and that if someone does not update their RSVP and fails to attend it could be that they have had a serious accident and are in hospital. I suspect however, that many people are simply very inconsiderate, inconsiderate of the effort and time that go into organising gatherings. Communication begins the morning of the gathering, several hours before the gathering, and the method of communication is the democratic and securest messenger: Signal Messenger, which is also owned by a non-profit foundation, not by a billionaire. ENGLISH: Fantastic Berliners, on Thursday 26th of March we are visiting the Zeiss Major Planetarium for the Starry Hour at 6:30pm. https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde You need to buy a ticket... https://planetarium-berlin.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=11322 This Starry Hour is in German, as far as I’m aware. From experience I know that we need quite good German language skills to understand a Starry Hour. We are meeting from 5:30pm at the Zeiss Major Planetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, near S Prenzlauer Allee, where there is seating and possibly also a Café or Bar. Please read the comments to get the information about seating places. We can communicate through both the Signal Group and the Meetup Chat. You’ll find the link for the Signal Group in the comments. The question, “Does the Starry Hour have something to do with poetry? It doesn’t say anything about poetry...” was put to me. Well yes, poets often reference the stars, as far as I’m aware, which is a direction into astronomy, or even a gentle encouragement that we should keep our heads up and maintain our wellbeing. For example, the poet Philip Larkin in the poem ‘The North Ship’, in the first poem, tells with hwyl, “Under an fire-spilling star,”. For Poetry & Puls there is the context of the starry sky above us, as when we have no knowledge of astronomy we can’t read the poetry. Since we are interested in reading poetry, Starry Hours are good. Knowledge of the stars is also good for people on the move, and we like to often be on the move. To the Starry Hour, the conversation, and the comradery!! DEUTSCH: Großartige Berlinerinnen und Berliner, am Donnerstag 26. März besuchen wir Zeiss-Großplanetarium für die Sternstunde um 18:30. https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde Man braucht eine Eintrittskarte... https://planetarium-berlin.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=11322 Diese Sternstunde ist auf Deutsch, soweit ich weiß. Von Erlebnis weiß ich, dass man ziemlich gutes Deutsch haben muss, um eine Sternstunde zu verstehen. Wir begrüßen uns ab 17:30 Uhr bei Zeiss Groß Planetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, in der Nähe von S Prenzlauer Allee, wo es Sitzplätze und eventuell Café oder Lokal gibt.. Bitte liest den Kommentar um Infos über Sitzplätze zu bekommen. Wir können beides über die Signalgruppe und Meetup Chat kommunizieren. Ihr findet den Link zur Signalgruppe im Kommentar. Mir wurde die Frage gestellt „Hat die Sternstunde etwas mit Poetry zu tun? Da steht nichts von Poetry...“ Naja, Dichter nehmen oft Bezug auf die Sterne, glaube ich. Das ist eine Weisung in die Astronomie, halt einen Vorschlag, dass man den Kopf hochhalten und aufrechterhalten solle. Zum Beispiel, der Dichter Philip Larkin im Gedicht ‚The North Ship‘, im ersten Gedicht, erzählt „Under a fire-spilling star,“. Für Poetry gibt es die Umgebung von den Sternen, und wenn man keine Kenntnis von dieser Umgebung hat, kann man die Gedichte nicht ganz gut lesen. Denn wir uns für das Lesen von Gedichten interessieren, sind Sternstunden gut. Kenntnis von den Sternen sind auch gut wenn man unterwegs ist, und wir möchten oft unterwegs sein. Auf die Sternstunde, das Gespräch, und die Gesellschaft freuen wir uns!!

Мат, матерщина, матерная брань. Вышла из подполья и уверенно живет в обычной речи. Ее слышишь и читаешь в офисе, в личных переписках и в публичном пространстве. Для выразительности, от отчаянья, по привычке – причин много и процесс кажется необратимым. Вроде немецкий и английский языки уже прошли через разрушение табу 🤔 Поэтому в этот раз мы не будем дебатировать какое-то конкретное действие. Вопрос не в том, нужно ли мат запретить или разрешить. Вопрос – стало ли с ним лучше, выигрывает ли от этого наше общение? Пусть команда за попробует доказать такое утверждение: **Нормализация мата вредит качеству общения.** *Дебатируем на русском языке* **в четверг 26.03, время: 19-21** Что конкретно мы будем назвать матом [здесь](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QGzNCl3Cyc), пара мнений [здесь](https://t-j.ru/bez-mata/?ysclid=mmtbdr9ekc976634308&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fya.ru%2F) и [здесь](https://t.me/yazikpizdez/65).

After the success and satisfaction of the first meeting of this group two weeks ago, I am glad to announce the second meetup. For this second meeting, our initial topic of discussion will be about The History of the connection of philosophies, sciences and arts between the West and the East. We'll start with short introductions from everyone attending. The focus will be on historical, scientific and philosophical discussion rather than contemporary political debate *(You'll recognise me by my blue scarf)*

Some friends of PyData are organising the following event, and we think it would be great to share it with the community. Pixels2GenAI is an exhibition by software developers creating computer art. We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and installations. The artists explore the space between hand-programmed images, the aesthetics of mathematical rules, and AI as an art-making tool. Works by the following artists will be on display: * Burak Kağan Yılmazer * Sara Maras * Alexander Hendorf * Hansu Kim * Maris Niewenhuis * Ewa Rother

Nice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows: * You should not care how many people are joining this meetup. You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend. * You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining. You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones. * You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time! Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-) * You are ready to use your phone as a real phone! You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone! * You are going to meet some people twice! That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once. If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way. P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

A four year running tradition: We meet near S Treptower Park, walk to Plänterwald and collect wild garlic to make our own Pesto. Der **Wunderlauch** (Allium paradoxum), auch **Berliner Bärlauch** genannt, stammt ursprünglich aus dem **Kaukasus** und wurde als Zier- oder Nutzpflanze nach Mitteleuropa eingeführt. In Berlin, insbesondere im **Plänterwald**, hat er sich stark ausgebreitet und gilt dort als **invasive Art**. Wir sammeln die Blätter, waschen sie, mörsern sie mit Nüssen und Öl und essen frisches Pesto auf gutem Brot :)
