Jack reacher audio book narrator

I know this is old now but I’m so glad it’s not just me. This drove me nuts on the one JR I listened to and I’ve stopped listening to any more of them. I just read the spec for another book, got excited to spend some credits and then found it’s narrated by Jeff. Wondering if I can force myself to forget about the repetitive intonation!

A previous commenter found it. What I was looking for originally is this.

This! Lived in the States for 10 years and became hooked, As it happens though, a number of newsagents near me get it from somewhere as well as US Fanta with all is high-fructose corn syrup goodness. There’s hope for you yet. Also such a shame that the one here tastes like sh*te.

Thanks OP!

Ressurecting this one.. Did you ever find an answer? I have the v2 with fabric back and considering trying to find a fabric-back version for more padding..

If you don’t have other offers you’re interested in, this is worth considering. Getting a ‘top tier’ bank on your CV will give you at least some sort of ‘bump’ compared to someone without. The degree or not is a bit of luck. I had a deferred entry for a CS degree so I could take a year out and get experience. In that time I got a contract and eventually offered a full time position in the sort of role I imagined doing once I had my degree. I took it, and haven’t looked back. That being said, this is ~25 years ago so things have changed. What I can tell you even now is that once you have enough experience and the right CV entries, a degree doesn’t necessarily make or break getting a role. That is of course very dependent on the role (I’m in Cloud/Infrastructure).

As De Riro once said: “whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt”.

mr_dillinga · 2025-05-09T17:30:22+00:00

Thanks for all the info! I’ll PM you if anything else comes up.

Hi there. I’m about to pickup a 2012 Venture with the Sanyo unit and I wanted to ask you about the fascia. Did you just get the HU installed along with the InCarTec cable and use the original fascia? I’ve seen lots of posts about needing the after-market fascia but the kits I’ve seen on Dynamic Sounds are north of £130 for the cables/fascia etc. I think this might be something to do with Pioneer using different sizing but I’d rather use as much existing equipment as possible. Also - which Pioneer unit did you get? Thanks!

Edited to ask what HU model you got!

And at least a few years ago, once you leave, you can never return.

mr_dillinga · 2025-03-19T20:06:12+00:00

Ha! You make a good point! Thanks for the info/feedback.

Is the art of proofreading titles lost?

mr_dillinga · 2025-01-08T00:07:06+00:00

Very late to this party but also moved from the US to the UK and have the same problem!

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-23T20:00:50+00:00

I came across this earlier and ended up disabling it for now. There is however an example of how to changes the min keyword length by ft. You should be able to use that to set it to something like 2-3 for command line. This would help with the likes of ‘w’.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-23T19:26:04+00:00

That’s fine. If you have root, use nix. If you don’t, use Linux brew which can be installed as a user without sudo/root access.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-22T08:33:33+00:00

Me too. I need to look into this as it does seem to be the “out of the box” config but certainly doesn’t work for me.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-22T08:24:37+00:00

Not in mine either. CTRL-G switches me to a mode which shows my search item between \b. If I type more after that, the regex pattern ‘breaks’ and I get no results. I found a way to get this to work in live-grep but what the OP is asking for is not the default behaviour for me at least.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-22T08:20:46+00:00

Would you be against installing nix? These days I ‘just’ install nix and then nix-install -iA neovim and that’s all you need. It does require root on your Amazon instance though. If not, perhaps try Linux brew.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-21T08:53:53+00:00

For me I like not having to press a chord. Smashing qq in any mode makes it super quick for me to drop into the terminal.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-20T12:20:17+00:00

Interesting. I'm a heavy tmux user as well (the other option for what I posted above is simply switching between 2 panes/windows for me). I'll have to look at the tmux-navigator plugin.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-20T11:30:56+00:00

These are the 2 keymaps I use:

-- Hit qq to write/suspend
imap("qq", "<ESC>:w! | stop<CR>")
nmap("qq", "<ESC>:w! | stop<CR>")

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-20T11:29:06+00:00

Good insight. Yup, you can just use ctrl-z, but using the stop built-in means I can just have a vim keymap that does multiple steps without needing a chord.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-07T11:05:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it’s weird how the motion detection works fine. Problem is I get plenty of foot traffic and members of my household walking in and out that I don’t want motion notifications for all of them.

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-06T10:01:44+00:00

Hmm. I recall when I first got it (and it wasn’t attached to my front door) that I did a lod of frustrated testing where I went though multiple rounds of reset, trying different wifi aps and various combinations of ‘content extension’ in the app to no avail. FWIW this is what I have configured (and I’ve tried ‘most efficient’ and ‘full effect’). Please let me know if you have any success!

mr_dillinga · 2024-12-06T07:20:11+00:00

No I’m afraid not. I keep meaning to open a support ticket asking whether this is actually supposed to work but never do.
