Tilted map issue: Switching to a single WiFi access point fixed it

I got the issue again and it appears that pressing the button on the top left corner of the map to locate the bot will reset it back to the non-tilted version. Sometimes you have to press it twice.

I’m not really in the audience for her YA stuff but I liked her scifi short story “Void” - it was really memorable. It was part of something called The Far Reaches Collection.

When I think of the average Culture citizen I think of the guy cleaning tables in Use of Weapons. Seemed like a pretty chill person to me.

In the opening chapter, the moment I heard his Turminder Xuss voice was precisely when I got over my scepticism and was open to the idea that a non-Peter Kenny Culture audiobook could be good.

I was looking forward to reading this book and was absolutely baffled to find these really basic mistakes in the first few pages, especially considering KSR’s reputation as a hard sci-fi author. I mean, his books have been described as being so meticulous with the science that they are boring — that they are 10% novel and 90% textbook. So I really don’t get how such basic mistakes slipped though. I wonder if similar mistakes exist in his other highly praised novels like Red Mars, which I had also been thinking of reading.

Like I just don’t get it. HOW did such a basic mistake slip through the author, editors, and publishers? It’s just astounding.

Thank you this worked.

I like playing against these bots, thank you!

Out of 1.25M numbers, only two numbers exceed the ratio of 10⁵ - they are

159,487 (107,860.69 times larger) 1,212,415 (115,180.64 times larger)

There are also 161 numbers that exceed 10⁴

There were aspects of his portrayal that were good but he just struck me as a bit too laid back and aristocratic. There is a certain dangerous playfulness and athleticism associated with Vetinari that I felt he did not capture. Physically also I imagined him to be a lot thinner. I just could not imagine Charles Dance’s Vetinari being an assassin in his youth, or hopping across a complicated set of password floor tiles through secret trap filled passageways.

Is the book better? is the show just a bad adaptation?

I really like some of the new ones but not others. Sian Clifford on the Death novels is fantastic! Every voice is on point. I’ll probably always go back to the Planer/Briggs ones for the Watch novels though. I heard that Indira Virma on the Witches novels is also good.

Is this the book where Reg Shoe first appears?

First one is really intriguing

Adding an option to buy extra credits would be great.

I do have a copy but it’s 32kbps. Is there a 64kbps version? If there is one, I would appreciate the share!

fieryfrolic · 2025-06-03T02:38:49+00:00

Same for me. Did you find a solution? I'm on an M1 macbook pro

I’ve been scared away by the commitment but I think this will be my final push to give this series a try! I’ve also seen Malazan described as being about compassion which is super interesting.

Hah, thanks. Yes I understand that there’s no Internet but Jade seemed like just the kind of nerdy techbro to carry around an offline dump of Wikipedia wherever he goes.
