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.

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.

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 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.
