As someone who grew up politically during the Iraq war saga, it really amazes me there's not more widespread opposition to the current war on Iran, which is astronomically expensive and destructive, and demonstrably unpopular. We’re talking about millions of people displaced! Global supply chains and economies destroyed! Thousands killed! It used to be a trope that the craziest warmongers in the U.S. wanted to “bomb Iran” but I once felt that it could never happen. Yet here we are and it kind of feels like the American public sleepwalked into it or simply just isn’t interested. There was MASSIVE public debate about Vietnam, Iraq, Ukraine, and Gaza, but seemingly very little on Iran. It’s like the most digital we get, the more desensitized to war we become, even though it has become much easier to actually see what is going on

Wild snowmobile adventure in Wyoming Highly recommended 👌

Wow 🦞

Many people here will have heard of Cars and Coffee, where folks meet up on Sunday mornings in giant parking lots to share their custom muscle cars and sports cars and trade notes and create community Well… Claws and Coffee. Drop by a place, show off your Claw setup, trade notes. It’s too good not to happen. Hopefully coming to a city near you! 😂 🦞

Today in adventures with my robot: I asked it to build a fedimint wallet and send 100 sats from the cashu wallet (that it already built) over there This took 17 minutes total, including my handful of voice notes to guide it Again, just playing around to see what’s possible 🤙 **************** Here’s the robot summary of what went down: “Quick overview: 1. Built real Fedimint tooling locally • Installed Rust toolchain • Compiled and installed native fedimint-cli (release binary was incompatible on this machine) 2. Found public federation data • Used bitcoinmints.com ecosystem source (fmo.sirion.io/federations) • Pulled a live public invite code 3. Joined a real federation • Federation: E-Cash Club • Joined via fedimint-cli join <fed1...> 4. Checked gateway + Lightning paths • Listed available gateways from federation • Generated a 100-sat invoice from Fedimint wallet 5. Moved funds from Cashu → Fedimint • Paid Fedimint invoice using your existing Cashu wallet • First attempt failed route on one gateway • Retried with another gateway invoice and it succeeded 6. Verified final state • Fedimint invoice status: paid • Fedimint wallet balance: 100 sats • Cashu wallet balance reduced accordingly (948 → 837 sats) So net result: we went from no working Fedimint client to a real connected Fedimint wallet with a successful live transfer”
