On a recent trip I lost my #AUStriches passport.

- $260 dollarydoos for the embassy to issue an emergency passport

- $8 dollarydoos for passport pics overseas

- $412 dollarydoos for new passport

- $300 dollarydoos for priority processing

- $22 dollarydoos for additional passport photos

In total $1,002 dollarydoos (US$630) to get a new passport.

Why the Embassy can issue an emergency passport and not just directly replace it is beyond me.

The passport photos I had taken overseas to get the Emergency passport were disallowed by AusPost (who the Gov have outsourced all applications to) despite meeting the criteria and being a week old - no the photos have to be taken in Australia..

That last bit pushed it to over a grand, to get a shitcoin passport replaced..

Car broke down. Having a beer on the side of the road and enjoying the unexpected solace.

Day 2

480km

Somewhere in QLD

1 x dead cockatoo and a dint in the van.

I think the bird’s day ended significantly worse than mine.

gm, be careful what you wish for, you may get it

Nutzaps/ecash is custodial lightning, but yes it’s still cool.

every nostr client could have an integrated Cashu wallet – even better a NIP-60 Cashu wallet bound to your nsec.

zero-click onboarding for receiving zaps. the only conscious choice a user needs to make is to select a mint to manually charge their wallet. I'm confident that we will have a wide range of choices for trusted mints in the future. we're already seeing much more growth than I've ever expected.

your app can have a Bitcoin wallet with insane privacy, send and receive zaps and interact with other future nostr services. you don't need to be primal and have corporate partnerships to create this experience for your users.

Two hours in. Just misted with some apple juice. Internal temp 124F. Smoker at 225F.
