One thing hearing tens of thousands of confessions has taught me over the last 16 years: you can't "fix" anyone. This is particularly hard for us males, who want to take a wrench and hammer to every problem we see.
The good news is that none of us are on to fix anyone else. That's all entirely up to them and their acceptance of the grace required to make a change.
It's all grace. So just love someone in their imperfections, support them, and get out of God's way.

One thing I think the Monero community has right: they view it as a currency by the very nature of its privacy, rather than as something to "stack." Transactions are its purpose.
BTC, on the other hand, is an option on the commodities market at this point. :simpsons:

Perhaps there's a paradox here that is difficult to reconcile: on the one hand, the correct notion that electricity is ordered towards centralization, which I think it is.
On the other: what we do with the tools we have. Centralized services are a real problem, as they work contra subsidiarity. We need to work in the opposite direction in general.

Survived the priest meeting. Actually left early. Not because of the content, but because the place was an ice chest. No blame cast: this is the time of year where it's impossible to regulate indoor temps in a commercial space in the Midwest, but at -115 lbs, I can't handle cold like I used to.

Are there any web clients that do PoW?

2026-08-22 22:37:34 CEST

Nah, that’s a good question. Neither are too difficult, but Mass probably takes more energy at this point. I hear confessions six days a week and celebrate Mass at least that many times as well. So over 16 years, it all just sorta becomes routine.
I will tell you that most priests agree, even with the canonical maximum of three Masses on Sunday, it is our easiest day.

2026-08-22 22:22:54 CEST

Figured out my homily. Got ready for the weekend. Even had time for an hour of Rocket League, which I didn’t play too poorly. Now on to Confessions & Mass, followed by a Mexican dinner that can’t be beat.
Not too shabby for a Saturday.

Correct. In the picture below, you see my fingers pinching the space in between two beads on my single-decade. This is important to me because I don't really "hold" the bead itself; I end up holding the space in between, as I begin a prayer.

Just a quick shoutout to Runewood Rosary Co. for making a solid product.
Two things set them above Rugged Rosary, which is the default paracord brand: 1) Bead give, which is essential for men with big hands, and 2) More wooden beads. They also seem lighter, even if they're still big.
More expensive, but worth it.

The Book of the New Sun is a masterpiece. Start there, end there.

Of which I am aware. The reason I bring it up within the context of a religious Order is because nobody gets it done like a bunch of people whose only other task is to pray all day, hence the quality of goods that still come from monasteries.

Reminds me of my only interesting idea for a religious community somewhere: to digitize and make accessible every book or article in the public domain, like the scriptoriums of old sought to preserve the written word.

Used to be the running meme that Magic: The Gathering was your best investment over traditional stocks.

Which begs the question: sitting in a bear, what do you think will provoke the next bull for BTC?
It very clearly isn't inevitability based upon some raw idealistic philosophy.
