I suppose, but that's why I just don't use it as part of a salutation. I think the actual reason probably is that most people view it simply as an extended weekend. I'd be curious to know how many people even know what the holiday is for.
In a weird way, maybe it's good that few people are mourning the loss of soldiers. It's one thing to remember them historically, but another to actually mourn people you've lost. I'm glad we don't currently have tons of people dying in wars (US). Or at least not enough that most people are actually in mourning on Memorial day.
It's probably just a misunderstood holiday. In fairness, most celebrate something.

O Veredíto do gptézio:
As previsões para o Brasil nos próximos cinco anos (2025-2030) indicam um crescimento econômico modesto, com uma média de 2,4% ao ano. Esse crescimento é considerado insuficiente para resolver as questões de desigualdade social que o país enfrenta. Além disso, a inflação deve continuar acima da meta, e o Brasil enfrentará desafios relacionados a investimentos e produtividade.
Se você estiver interessado em mais detalhes, pode conferir os artigos sobre as tendências econômicas e de emprego para esse período.
Ou seja. Non tem jeito 👍

I have a personality trait that makes probing beliefs for weakness difficult to avoid. I do it nearly constantly for my own beliefs. I'm uncomfortable thinking or believing something without evidence or testing. I'm finding that a lot of people don't like that.
Maybe I'm just an asshole. Maybe it's my delivery. I especially struggle with ambiguity, such as when people ask my opinion when they really just want me to affirm their own belief or opinion.
I feel duty bound to give my honest opinion when asked. I really struggle to understand why so many people ask for opinions they don't actually want or initiate discussions regarding beliefs they have no intention of questioning or explaining.
I'm thinking it may just be best to wish people good luck and/or just disengage.
"That's cool, bro. I support your happiness and wellbeing."
"What do you think? ... Sounds like you have it figured out."

There are filters available, so you can filter by Bitcoin. I do love Monero, but still there are more bitcoin services than monero services. Luckily most of them accept both. If you think some services are missing, feel free to submit suggestions or add comments to existing ones!

With the #Bitcoin conference getting kicked off and Bitcoin Treasuries seemingly destined for the moon, there is a lot to be excited about. This moment in time feels so Orwellian and dystopian.
I’m pretty liberal in some ways. I was raised by a single mom. My father died in Vietnam, and my father figure was my grandfather. He was of the Greatest Generation. They were willing to put aside their own needs for the greater good. He went from enlisted in the Army Air Force to a Major in the USAF. He bombed the beaches of Normandy, and flew in Korea. He thought Trump was a fool. He didn’t see what we can see now. He taught me about guns. (This is his picture on his 100th Birthday in his original uniform) He insisted he was just doing his job. The heroes didn't make it. https://blossom.primal.net/ce55522c20097c32644a4f2a1db49e3d36c11fe73fb13f40208ff2ee5f8d653d.jpg
I’ve never thought anyone needed a gun until now.
I’m pretty sure we are headed for pure chaos. I don’t know how it comes, but I have thoughts. It is scary. But, at the same time, I know I won’t have to go through it all, so I can really look at it and Yell FIRE from the top of my lungs while finding the entire thing utterly fascinating to watch unfold and securing my family through everything precautionary measure we should take.
I was talking with my wife last night. I was remembering how back in the 2010’s we had charts that said, “Somewhere about 2025 the financial situation gets dire.” Even with all the variables, COVID, Trump, Israel, Ukraine, those charts were right. Anyone that is a nocoiner doesn’t get it. That is most people.
I feel as if my entire life is a crescendo. This condition being in the final stage of a 30-year progression at this time just makes it all the more surreal. These last three years have been a lot. At first, I tried to bring it all together in a document and keep detailed track of everything changing. No one believed me and it wear so much on one to constantly be re-reading and revising and appending such a large document. If it was a book, it would be ok, but it is my life and the things I had to constantly review we so painful.
So now, I just try to document the changes as they occur and persevere. It is a great release to just decide to be happy no matter how much you are going through. Just keep doing every normal thing you can do while you can.

It's been the only reliable way to stop DDoS attacks, I was receiving too often. It is set on the least aggressive protection level, so it only triggers on big attacks. If you know other cheap and effective alternatives, please share!

Scene 9: The Breaking Point
Lucas had texted Thomas that morning.
Can we walk today? I’ve got something to tell you.
Thomas replied with a time and a meeting spot at the park.
Lucas moved quietly through the city—collar up, hands deep in his coat pockets, wind cutting between buildings.
Daniel’s words from the day before still hung in his head—they were hard to shake. Daniel wasn’t blind to the cracks in the system. He’d seen volatility, downturns, panics—and kept going. Built a life, bought a duplex, rode the market.
He called it adaptation.
Said inflation could be outrun. That if you owned assets, stayed invested, trusted the arc—you’d be fine.
And maybe he was right.
If you owned enough.
If you were already in.
Lucas passed a man curled under a thin blanket outside a shuttered corner shop. A sign rested beside him: "Still Looking for Work. Still Hoping."
Farther down, a young woman argued quietly on a cracked phone, a toddler on her hip and a grocery bag at her feet. Her voice was stretched, not angry—just worn.
How were they adapting?
They weren’t rebalancing portfolios.
They were just trying to hold on.
The billboard above the park entrance flashed bright and confident: “Experience More. Pay Later.”
Lucas didn’t even look up.
Thomas was waiting, hands clasped behind his back. They started walking without a word.
After a few minutes, Lucas said, “I got laid off.”
Thomas slowed. “I’m sorry.”
“They said it wasn’t performance. Just headcount. Realignment.” He gave a bitter half-smile. “You know the language.”
“I do,” Thomas said.
“I always figured if I worked hard, kept my head down, I’d be fine. But suddenly... I’m not essential anymore.”
Thomas didn’t respond. He let the quiet fill in the rest.
“I’m not panicked,” Lucas added. “Not yet. I’ve got some savings. I’ll figure it out. But still—yesterday I’m debating Daniel about the structure of the system. Today I’m outside of it.”
Thomas raised an eyebrow. “What did Daniel say?”
Lucas shrugged. “That the system works—flawed but functional. That we’ve been through worse. That inflation’s bad, but manageable if you own assets. The usual stuff. That sound money sounds good until you hit a crisis and need the Fed to step in.”
They reached a bench and sat.
“Sounds like a man who’s never missed a paycheck,” Thomas said.
Lucas didn’t reply.
Thomas leaned forward. “I’ve heard it all. I believed it for years. But that ‘flexibility’ they praise—it’s not flexibility. It’s moral hazard dressed up as pragmatism. Every downturn becomes a license to print more money, push more debt. The system doesn’t save people. It saves asset prices. And people who don’t own those assets get left behind—quietly, but predictably.”
Lucas said nothing.
“You didn’t lose your job because of performance,” Thomas continued. “You lost it because risk and consequence no longer live in the same place. The system’s built to offload cost and concentrate reward. That’s what fiat enables. Not resilience. Transfer.”
A breeze passed through the bare trees.
“Daniel’s not wrong to want stability,” Thomas said. “But what he calls evolution—I call erosion. Since 2020, real wages are down. Stocks are up. Housing’s up. Groceries are up. But the people doing the work are standing still—or slipping.”
He paused.
“When the Fed prints, it enters at the top—through credit, through banks, through capital markets. The bottom gets inflation. The middle gets squeezed. That’s why the 401(k)s look okay and groceries look like theft.”
He let that sit.
“Fiat doesn’t just warp the economy—it warps trust. It rewards proximity to capital and punishes patience. It breaks the link between effort and reward. Quietly. Systematically.”
Lucas stared at the ground. He felt the truth of it, not as a theory—but as a pressure behind the eyes.
Thomas leaned back. “And deflation? That’s just prices falling because productivity improved. It rewards savers. It makes things cheaper. That’s not chaos—it’s sanity. But they fight it because the system runs on debt, and debt can’t survive falling prices. So they inflate. Always.”
Lucas looked down at the path. “So what do I do?”
Thomas’s voice softened. “First, stop waiting for the system to recognize your value. It won’t. It can’t. Learn how the rules work. Then step outside them—bit by bit.”
Lucas didn’t nod. But he didn’t argue either.
Thomas looked at him more gently now. “Look. I’ve spent most of my life as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. Made every mistake twice. But the market—it’s a truth machine. Eventually, it teaches you. If you’re willing to listen.”
They sat in silence.
Lucas wasn’t sure what he believed anymore.
But the cracks in his old framework were no longer theoretical.
They had found him.

I started West Major seven years ago for selfish reasons. I was tired of soul-sucking corporate jobs, working on projects I didn’t care about. I wanted to work for myself.
The idea to make western shirts didn’t come from market research. I just asked myself: If money weren’t a factor, what would I love to make every day?
To me? Western shirts. And a western brand.
I’ve loved this garment and style my whole life. In my late 20s, I decided - if I was going to do it, now was the time. And I wanted to do it in America, where western wear was born.
I didn’t realize I’d just signed up for one of the hardest missions in apparel - with no money, no connections, and zero experience. Making clothes in the U.S. is already hard. Tees and denim? Doable. But woven shirts? Brutal.
Shirting mills? Gone. Snap button manufacturers? Gone. The skilled single-needle labor needed to make a proper shirt? Almost gone. But the deeper I got, the more obsessed I became. I saw American-made western wear as the underdog and I wanted to fight for it.
Eventually, I found a factory willing to try, and we got started.
My first batch launched on Kickstarter. Most were returned. People loved the shirt - but the arms were too tight. I made improvements and, in 2019, re-shipped a better shirt to those original backers. Then I launched the site, moved back into my mom’s house to save money, and started bartending at night.
That fall/winter, we sold out of everything - around 300 shirts. I started 2020 with momentum, ready to build the brand I’d dreamed of since high school.
Then COVID hit. Factory shut down. Bar shut down. No job. No inventory. I was a 30-year-old, single guy living in my mom’s basement trying to start a clothing company. That year taught me how to survive.
The factory reopened that fall, we got shirts made, and sales grew a little.
In 2021, we grew 100% and passed six figures - but lost money. In 2022, we grew another 35% - and still lost money. Everyone told me to give up on American-made.
This path is a manual one. We source every material ourselves, coordinate delivery to the factory. Many things - like pearl snaps and shirting-weight fabric aren’t made here anymore. So we import them, get them through customs, wash the fabric, deliver everything to the sewers. They cut and sew the pieces based off my design and pattern. We pick them up, run our own QC, iron, fold, tag, and bag.
All of this has to be planned months in advance. It takes 3–6 months to make one shirt. If I want flannels for Q4, I have to start spending money I don’t have in Q1.
Or… I could move production overseas and get finished shirts delivered to my door in 30 days, at a fraction of the cost.
But every time I consider it, I lose interest. The energy and excitement behind the brand fades.
At that point, I was bartending four nights a week and pouring everything I had into the business. Constantly out of stock. I could only afford to make 1–3 shirts at a time to meet factory minimums.
Someone pointed out that my margins weren’t high enough - even if sales doubled, I’d still be underwater.
So in Q1 2023, I made what felt like a last-ditch move: raised prices to $200 and moved manufacturing to a tiny U.S. factory with higher prices, but no minimums.
I figured it was my final shot, and probably wouldn’t work.
But it did.
Revenue grew just 10%, but we released more shirts that year, and turned a small profit. In 2024, sales grew another 40%, and the profit grew too. After 5–6 years, I finally paid myself enough to quit bartending.
Now in 2025, we’re still growing. We manufacture with both that small factory and our original one again. We’re in about 14 stores across the U.S. (and one in Italy). All of them have re-ordered. Online sales are up. And we’ve pieced together our own supply chain to make it all happen. It’s not perfect. I want to make the highest quality shirt possible - and doing that in America is still very challenging, complicated, and expensive. But we’re getting there.
There’s another catch.
Recently, I learned from keyboard warriors on X, that to legally claim something is “American-made,” the FTC requires it to be “all or virtually all” made in the U.S. That means every material - fabric, buttons, snaps, labels - must be sourced domestically.
Most countries are more flexible. Switzerland’s “Swiss Made” requires 60% local manufacturing costs. France allows it if half the cost is French. Germany and Japan focus on where the core transformation happens. But in the U.S., it’s basically all or nothing.
That’s been a gut punch.
I can literally watch our shirts get made from scratch, by Americans, in America. Washing, cutting, fusing, sewing, pressing, trimming - all of it done here. And many of our materials are from here too. The labels. The interfacing.
But because our fabric or buttons aren’t made here (and can’t be sourced here), we’re not allowed to say “Made in U.S.A.” I guess?
I’m just trying to make a western shirt in America. I’m not trying to game the system - I just want to be transparent about what we’re doing, and why.
So here’s the moonshot dream:
To build a vertically integrated factory and make a 100% American-made western shirt - fabric, snaps, buttons, labels, and labor - all under one roof. Today, that’s not possible for a small brand like me. So for now, we cut and sew our shirts here, using the best materials we can find, sourcing abroad when we have to.
At the same time, I’m not afraid to use legendary fabrics from overseas mills - some of which have spent generations perfecting their craft. I want to make things here. And I want to make the best stuff possible. I believe we can do both one day. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
The brand is still small. I still work seven days a week. No breaks. But nothing has killed us yet. And we’ve still got 100,000 more shirts, ideas, and products to build here under the West Major banner before I die.
