Open to Discomfort - Catholic Husband

\n
\n

When we’re comfortable, we drift towards mediocrity. Unchallenged, we fall into a malaise in which there is little movement, small momentum, and no growth. The periods in our lives that we look back on with the greatest satisfaction are the times in which we pushed through the difficult things and came out the other side, shockingly, better.

Trump, the Pope and a New Holy War - WSJ

\n
\n

The American president and his advisers have made limited effort to justify their aggressive military actions, which also meet none of the traditional Catholic just war criteria.

\n
\n

This is a very long article, with uncharacteristically weak editing. The absolute assertion that military action against Iran meet “none” of the criteria is ridiculous on its face. Setting aside 40 years of terrorism on land and the high seas, this is a regime that two months ago murdered 30,000 people in cold blood for the high crime of challenging their political government.

Building - Catholic Husband

\n
\n

It takes more than one mistake, or one faulty brick, to collapse a building. It’s the grace of physics and of discipline. A single weak brick in a facade is a problem, but is also supported by the strong bricks all around it. Parenting is not a zero sum scenario, but it does require focus applied over time.

Therefore the Lord exhorts us to wait with patient and reverent faith until the end comes… It is not a blessed dissolution that awaits us, nor is nonexistence the fruit, nor annihilation the appointed reward of faith. Instead, the end is the final attainment of the promised blessedness, in which the goal of perfect happiness is reached, with no further goal beyond. For these, “the end” is to abide in the condition of uninterrupted rest toward which they are pressing.

@manton the schools run papers/homework through checkers like they have for decades checking for plagiarism. The real problem is that students can miss learning important skills, like looking at search results and determining which websites are credible and which aren’t. Not to mention the ability to think, develop an argument, and communicate it.

@manton I started using Categories to automate management of collections, like podcasts, instead of my old way of manually updating a single page of links. With the podcasts specifically, the page load time is getting long with 276 episodes.

The plug-in for archives works so great, it would be the perfect solution.

@manton Can I get your professional opinion? My middle school son has been coding with blocks since Christmas. He’s comprehending concepts and wants to start work on learning a language this summer.

I hope you’ll seriously consider publishing the paperback. You only have to publish once and then it can live forever on Kindle Direct Publishing (or some other print-on-demand service). You wrote a real book; it deserves to have copies on people’s bookshelves.

@manton I’m using their ancient built-in plugin. I don’t think it has any export functionality and really hasn’t received meaningful updates since ~2018. I used to be very active in the Rapidweaver community and I might be the most active blog plugin user in the world; it’s pretty much abandoned. I can export the site to a local folder, and it gives me a .php file for every blog post. I don’t think an importer is really worth your time because I’m sure I’m in a very, very small group that would need this functionality, if it’s even possible.

\n

I have all of my blog posts in Ulysses, so my workflow is to publish them all from there. The redirects would be great, but I’m still moving to m.b even if I can’t do them because this is a huge body of work and I want it on a modern platform that’s going to last.

@manton Is there a known issue with logins? I’m trying to update payment methods on the accounts for my children, but I can’t log out or log in?

@manton 👋🏻 Hi Manton, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you’re feeling better.

\n

I saw your blog on the updated the policy on reclaiming unused usernames. I’ve emailed support three times (May, August, and November) about trying to get two names for my kids’ blogs, but didn’t hear back. I know your support inbox has been overwhelming with everything else going on in your life!

\n

I wanted to message you directly to see if I can get these usernames claimed, if possible, so they can have their place on the web secured.

\n

Thanks for any help you can offer!
