I wait 30 minutes before opening my laptop or looking at my phone - other than to stop my alarm.
Re:Ask HN: How libraries managed borrowed books before computers?
on Friday July 29, 2022 @05:22PM (#32281926)
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.

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

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.

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.
