Nostr feels it’s now getting flooded with bots. Very curious and also lightly frightened what this will do to the social fabric of this young network and the conversations we’re having.

自由閪。Defund the system! Passionate about privacy, encryption and ⚡️bitcoin. Forbidden lands, forgotten empires. Hong Kong is my home.
I didn’t stack sats today. I went out and spent some. Both merchants showed their gratitude. I’m so happy they take Bitcoin.
It’s a big club and you’d give everything not to be in it.
Very cool to visit Trails Coffee in Anmore, BC today. All customers, regardless of payment method, get a 3% sats reward!
And they’re using BTCPay!
The new battery-powered trams in retro-look for Baghdad look stunning. They’re built in Turkey by manufacturer Gatatren, and show obvious similarities to the Taskim - Tünel tourist tram. #trainstr
Fiat is dying.
Despite the importance of railroads throughout America’s history and the rich heritage of private railway cars, there have only been two Presidential Rail Cars, and no Presidential Train. The first car was built for Abraham Lincoln in 1865, and the second for Roosevelt in 1942. In between, U.S. presidents just booked regular train cars. British monarchs have had an entire Royal Train at their disposal since 1897, and the current Royal Train is still in service today (but won’t be for long).

The second and maybe even more comfortable lounge on the Canadian, located in the Skyline car. This car also features a dome, underneath which there is a small bar where you can buy snacks and drinks. On the other side is a small dining area with TV. The tables are also often used to play board games, in winter they screen (train themed) movies and documentaries. Depending on how busy the train gets, there may be two of these Skyline cars, and there may even be a chef selling freshly prepared hot meals to economy class passengers, who don’t have access to the restaurant car.
The highlight of the Canadian is the Park Car at the very end of the train. It includes the most luxurious private rooms (a double bed folds out of the wall), the bullet lounge, a bar (photo via Seat61) and the spectacular glass dome, from where you can look over the train forward. These cars have been in service for exactly 70 years now, but were refurbished multiple times, most recently in 2013. #trainstr
