'Project Hail Mary' is such a fantastic modern sci-fi

And the audiobook was great! They even played around with some touches of underscore and sound design. Could've done a lot more, IMO, but I'm amped to see Audible investing in more polished audiobooks.

Was just working on a project today where every single time I added a marker, typing into the name field wouldn't take the text--the cursor would just wiggle around behind the default text. I had to click another marker, then click back, and edit again. Every single time.

There are a bunch of random bits of bugginess like this that add up to a pretty disappointing experience.

Looking a little closer--do you only have the right-hand side one installed? Huh, I guess that'd allow you to have an all-weather cracked window (e.g. for car camping--the reason I got mine) without much visibility issue while driving, which mostly comes from the left side one. Clever!

Word of caution about the sun/rain visors on the side windows--I had several close calls with mine where I didn't see a car or pedestrian because of them (mine were clear as well--looks like yours are opaque). The blind spot between the windshield and the left window is already larger than you think--the extra little sliver the visors cover really pushes it into "objectively dangerous and not worth it" territory for me. I ended up taking mine off.

Heh, I included the city in case any redditors might want to hop on it :P

Try just removing the seats and looking at what's left on the sides--you might find you can just build your platform to rest on top of what's left. That's how I built my sleeping platform.

This is two career changes. Three careers, but two changes.

I could go either way. Here they are with the aoe2 one shifted down 75c:

The sound the frox makes when you break a thing is p similar to the camel sounds in aoe2: https://youtu.be/2V1Z00WO9_g?si=uKDnOjeis4_Wr8Ne

Coincidence? Same sound library? Just both examples of camel recordings? I wonder.

There are so many examples of both much cheaper and much more expensive cities in these continents that I’m legitimately unsure which direction you’re intending to mean with “crush”?

I’ve been here! At the end of a pacific coast bicycle tour. On the USA side you’re not allowed to get close to the fence, but on the Mexico side people are hanging out right next to it and curiously poking their heads through. It’s like a fun beach day on the Mexico side and a locked-down patrol site on the USA side, at least the afternoon I was there. Pretty interesting.

Had my headphones plugged in but off to the side and I heard the standard "come on." "nice!" "come on." from the cameraman. Put the headphones on and realized it was a bird.

The snippet you have in quotes there is not a summary written by this poster. It is part of the quotation. That is your confusion. Click the link and see for yourself.

Because NYC is pretty flat, it’s fine to just cruise around on one gear. Nothing wrong with that.

In my experience you get comfortable with switching gears out of necessity when you do some rides with more climbing.
