"Two cats, one car."
Forgive the blur but it's hard to get the focus right when you're laying flat on the grass, in bright sun, barely seeing the screen.

you may be familiar with this 1st photo of a polish gentleman recording music at the jarocin festival in 1986, but here's what the rest of the tapers' section looked like! (sadly, the linked interview doesn't seem to be archived.) https://web.archive.org/web/…

This is the #Garbce stop on railway line 271 (Poznań — Wrocław), renovated a few years ago.
The platforms end a dozen metres from the railway crossing. However, there is no walkway from the platforms to the crossing; probably because it would need to cross a tiny stream. Instead, a 100 m long walkways have been added to the other end of the platforms, with a tunnel joining the platforms and access to a side road in the town. To reach the railway crossing, you have to walk 700 m.
Ironically, even in the general drought the tunnel manages to feature puddles of ground water. Also including the photo of a platform roofing with weird orange marks.

college_freshmen: Dutch college freshman (1995)
A small network of friendships among freshmen at Dutch College in 1994-1995. Friendship ties were surveyed at 7 different times over the year, and each edge is timestamped. The direction of an edge indicates that person i named person j, and the edge weight represents their level of friendship, ranging from -1 (risk of conflict) to 3 (best friend).
This network has 32 nodes and 3062 edges.

I've reached the state of mind that when being of a flat plain, I'm looking around me and thinking "something is missing here"… then I realize there are no wind turbines there!

#KI automatisiert Routine, beschleunigt Recruiting und macht #HR zum strategischen Treiber. Doch die größte Herausforderung bleibt: Mitarbeitende qualifizieren, Ängste abbauen und ethische Leitplanken setzen. Die Zukunft gehört dem ausbalancierten Zusammenspiel von Mensch und Maschine.

Paperwork does OCR on everything I scan. I've just scanned a document with my signature on it. It OCR-ed the signature (which is literally a scrawl on "Michał Górny") as "NBA".

#Gentoo be like: you finally implement support for enabling some function from a package that you've been missing for a while, and the next day a user finds an upstream bug with it that apparently went unnoticed for quite some time.

ein bisschen schade ... Biesenthal hat ca. 6300 Einwohner:innen, die nächste öffentliche Bibliothek ist in Bernau, wo nur jede Stunde ein Bus hinfährt. Fahrzeit 30 Minuten. Da gehe ich sehr davon aus, dass die öffenltiche Medien- und Literaturversorgung damit im Wesentlichen flachfällt.
Angesichts der Wahlergebnisse dort (wie auch in ganz Brandenburg) wäre es schön, wenn man da die Daseinsfürsorge etwas ernster nähme.

Today thanks to a defect of another train combined with complete incompetence of Polish railway traffic controllers, I've spend almost 3 hours in a train, stopped halfway between Złotniki Grzybowe and #Poznań Strzeszyn train stops (1.5 km from either). I would lose perhaps half of this time if they instead stopped us at the previous stop, and told us what's up, so we could just go catch the urban bus. But that's not my biggest problem.
These 3 lost hours means I'm behind with work. So I'm hurrying to catch up. Except I'm so completely messed up because of all this, I can't really focus on work, so I had to stop. So I'm going to be even more behind.

Hat hier jemand aus der bibliothekarischen Praxis schon Erfahrung mit dem neuen DNB-Lizenzierungsservice sammeln können?

Today I saw a scrawl in Piła, saying (in translation from Polish): "God does not like cowards."
I was thinking that a good riposte would be: "Cowards made themselves a God, for they were afraid of reality."

Also ich fände ja eine zentrale Vektordatenbank, in die Bibliotheken ihre Volltextembeddings geben, als Idee ganz charmant. Das wäre dann so eine Art von abgeleitetes Textformat und könnte das Retrieval unterstützen.

Summary of today's dreams:
1. I changed my shorts but forgot to replace the paper towels in my pockets. I wouldn't have thought my brain would treat this as such a #nightmare. I mean, lack of paper towels, not fresh shorts. The terror when you put your hand in the pocket, and it's empty.
2. I forgot to put my garbage out last night. It was around 7 AM (having precise dreams is important), it was raining and I was hurrying to put them out, worrying it's too late already. Then, I've discovered there's a huge dumpster in front of my gate, filled to the brim with loose cat litter. And I was thinking, the garbage company won't take such a tonnage of loose litter like that.

Ticks became smarter recently. They no longer flood my legs where I can remove them easily, but instead send single commandos to my elbows where I can't notice them.

So apparently there's a thing called "#Google Classroom" and I've only learned that because it's used to send #spam en masse. And Google "can't control" these people, so everything's fine!
