I wait 30 minutes before opening my laptop or looking at my phone - other than to stop my alarm.

Books had a pocket glued onto the fly page. The pocket contained a card with the book name on it. When you borrowed the book, the librarian removed the card and wrote your membership number on it, and retained the card. The “return by” date was stamped on the pocket.

The book you were checking out had a little pocket glued to the inside of the cover that held a card with the book name on it. The librarian would write your number on the card and placed it in their filing system. They would then write or stamp the due date on the pocket of the card.

Just finished Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam and now a few pages into Zen Golf by Joseph Parent.

Side note, has anyone watched the TV show based on it? Trailer looks amazing but haven't had the time to dig into it.

I keep seeing this recommended. I plan on reading it at some point.

Worth the time?

The entire Colorado River basin is essentially running at critical levels.

Article wont load for me but part of the issue is that New Mexico can't store any in reservoirs as they owe Texas water due to an interstate compact.

The Mountain Project, MTB Project, and Gaia are three of my most used apps and I highly recommend them.

I imagine this is not the end of the story.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications?

iPhone XR - I see no reason to upgrade as I have found myself slowly using it less and less for anything other than messages, maps, photos, and slack. Every once in a while I will install something and use it for a few minutes, completely forget its on there for a month, then delete it.

This is one that I just recently started doing it with fantastic results.

I have been using Fastmail for three years now and very happy with the product.

I also shifted from LastPass to BitWarden and couldn't be happier with it.

I would recommend the Helsinki course over any subscription tutorials.

I currently live just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park and I am not feeling optimistic about the future.

The comments are fun to read.

Working fine for me here near Denver.

MX Keys and very happy. Tempted to purchase their mech release.

Is it truly decentralized when it’s so reliant on exchanges and wallets that are abstracted away from the chains - often through third party layers akin to Infura?

I also highly recommend the Elements of Style by Strunk and White.

I don’t want to discredit the authors views but, as someone that has competed in sports at a high level and suffered injury, it seems as if they are going through the emotional roller coaster of recovery.

The read is all over the place and I understand they are attempting to formalize their thoughts, but I think it can all be summed up to this:

> I spent a large part of my life in a tight community, doing the one thing that allows me to escape the annoying nuances of daily routine and, for now, that’s gone because of injury. I’m now faced with a different reality that doesn’t fit the mold of my own.

Maybe I’m wrong - and that’s very possible. But this reads as an athlete struggling with injury recovery and trying to deal with the emotional negatives of losing something that has defined them.

Oh wow, I did not know - thank you.
