    Freiburger Frühstück. 🥐🥚☕️


    We spent the morning swimming at thermal mineral baths(!), so it’s time for a final refuel before heading home. 🍻 (2021 Biergarten Count: 12)

    Wow! Driving back to Freiburg, we got caught in the antifa protest! Cops are re-routing all the traffic around. 😳 https://t.co/nvjQNU55YM

    We took Germany’s longest cable car (over 2 miles!) through the Black Forest to the top of Schauinsland… ❤️🚠🌲

    @laimelde WHAT? I clicked on it expecting to feel sad that they were going under, not to see that they were fighting their own workers. 🙁

    I ❤️ the EU attitude towards work/life balance. I was talking to @andreas_ruetten recently about an upcoming German tech event and wondered why it was happening on a workday instead of the weekend. “Because,” he said patiently, “we like to do weekend things on the weekend.” https://t.co/prkgMOG2EV


    The taste of summer! Ratatouille homemade by me; soda bread baked by the Snook. 😍 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/Ilc8xjTlcz


    @BlaineSundrud I haaaaaate those. Looks like I missed this particular one. 😅


    🇩🇪 Germany phrase of the week: “die Sau rauslassen” – to let the sow (female pig) out. It means to let it all hang loose, whoop it up, party hard. 🐷🍺🎉 (TIL Germans love pork-based slang!) https://t.co/ukqFiDKG5s


    Hilariously, I came across this phrase when scrolling through Schitt’s Creek episodes on @PrimeVideo (which is set to German-language). It’s the one where Ted gets drunk at a party – “…lässt die Sau raus!”


    Fantastic opportunity for a Program Manager to design and roll out the inaugural Amazon Women in Technology Conference (WITC). I really want to attend this event, so please help us find someone amazing to plan it! https://t.co/l7mMDwiQrh

    @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
