I'm trying to find an audio book of a popular book series. But when I start looking, I only found one of the audio books of a trilogy. (looking through the links in the megathread/wiki)

I'm not sure why the 2nd and 3rd audiobook of the triligy can't be found, it should be popular enough that someone would've share it. It came out like a decade ago.

I found all 3 books (like the text-only book), but I'm kinda annoyed I can't find the audio books.

I can never know if someone is supposed to be dead or not. Okay so the protagonists beat a bunch of the anatagonist's goons in battle, did you kill them? Or did they become unconcious?

It's literally never explained.

Rules:

• The messages can go as far back as the beginning of the 7 day period (the moment you found out about your assassin is after you)
• You can only send the messages if you have cell signal (maybe don't hide in the woods, you assassin might be there, and you don't get a do-over 🙃)
• Your phone is immune to damage and malware (although spyware and keyloggers can still be on there, but they can't affect the system, just on "read only" mode). Auto-updates are now disabled by default
• If assassin got your phone, they could send false messages to trick your past self. (Don't lose your phone!)
• At the end of 7 days, the Assassin will just drop dead due to time travel limitations, time travelers cannot survive longer than 7 days in the past (yes, the assassin is a time traveler 😉)

[P.S: El Psy Congroo]

• Each language has their unique encoding of their language represented in pulses of light.
• Written text remains the same
• The light is beamed from the human head in 360 degrees when ever they communicate, visible for up to 1KM
• Instumental music still works, and people can still hear things, just not talk.
• People currenly alive will instantly know how to communicate with light in equivalent proficiency to their speech proficiency before the scenario happening, but everyone born from now on will have to learn from the adults.

Remember: Light cannot penetrate walls

• For simplicity, let's assuming this is your country, in some random rural area
• The dead person has a kitchen knife plunged into their chest, blood is still fresh
• The dead person is a random stanger, you've never met them, they are just a random average (non-famous) person
• There is no one else in the house
• You have a tiny bit of blood on your clothes, but not a lot, you are unsure of whose blood it is
• You have no injuries
• You were never drugged or anything, you just happen to mysteriously, spontaneously get teleported there, while sleeping. You went to sleep on your bed and just woke up only to find yourself in this scenario. (Bloodtests will show nothing)
• You wake up right in the morning, at sunrise
• There is electricity and running water, small amounts of food in the refrigerator, enough for maybe a day
• You don't have any items with you, not your phone, nothing beside the clothes you slept with (if any). There are clothing in this house belonging to the dead person
• There only electronics devices (besides appliances) in the house is the dead person's smartphone, in their pockets (no lockscreen codes or anything), and a laptop (no password). This house has wifi.
• This house does not have any security cameras.
• There is a car in the driveway, belonging to the dead person. No other vehicles, no bikes or anything like that.
• Nobody (yet) knows this person is dead. They live alone.

So, would you think that you did the murder, and just turn yourself in; or assume someone set you up and try to escape? How would you escape this scenario and avoid prison?

Remember, this is a rural area, not that many cameras.

So do you make a run for it? How?

Or do you just call the authorities and hope you don't get charged with the murder? Very awkward interrogation tho, nobody would believe you. I doubt "I don't remember how I got there" is a strong defence.

What is your "game plan"?

I keep thinking about stuff like:

• The fact that there are galaxies I won't be able to visit (because I'd be dead before humanity goes interstellar)
• The face that my childhood sucked and I could never really experince a normal childhood again in this lifetime (feeling of "nostalgia")
• The fact that there are secrets the government is hiding that the average civillian will never be able to know (fear of "missing out")
• We may never discover the true nature / true origin of the universe (at least, not in my lifespan)
• Not knowing if the world is even real (as in, simulation theory, solipcism)
• There would be Movies and TV shows I wont be able to experience (fear of missing out)
• There were technology that I never got to experience "in the moment": telegraphs, black and white tv, radios, old gaming devices, etc... (I mean yes, they still exist, but its not the same as experiencing it in that time period). To be clear, I still prefer current and future technology, but I just want to go back in time for like a week to check things out like it was back then, then come back, you get what I'm saying?

I can't ever just stop thinking and relax. My brain is so fucked.

This isn't like a "phase", this has been my life for years. Constant non-stop thoughts. 😓

There are no other options. This is even more stupid than the phone number verification thing. Attemping to logging to Google Play Store on that wiped device (which previously was logged in to the account) doesn't work either.

Luckily, this is a throwaway account, not much data of value was lost. FRP on the wiped device was also off.

But like, what is the point of this. Suppose, my phone got stolen. How am I supposed to log in to Google to initiate a remote wipe, if it ask for a verification code which is on the phone that the thief has?

Zero logic at all. 🤦‍♂️

Edit: And MFA was never enabled. Just to clarify.

I mean, it kinds seems inevitable to me. Books has become e-books. Cash is becoming digital transfers. China has done it. The west is mostly doing card-swipes. One day, that transition will be complete, and cash would be phased out.

What happens then? Think like the power outage in Spain recently. Some people had cash. But in 20-40 years. There might not even be any cash in existence. What then?

What if, instead of a few hours, its a few days? Or weeks?

I guess riots break out all around the world?

(Seriously, has none of the politicians ever thought about this? Where are the backups? Are we just going full "YOLO" on the reliance on the power grid?)

For me:

-The Expanse - The beginning was confusing AF and the politics didn't make sense and seemed boring, so I quit. But then eventually after like a year or two, went to reddit and it was recommended again, so I just read some light spoilers and that helped me got through the first season. And then it has been an intriguing and thrilling journey.

I don't know about y'all, but if I grew up in a country that never has the news criticizing its leaders, I'd be very skepical and deduce that there is censorshop going on and the offical news could be exaggerated or entirely falsified. Do people in authoritarian countries actually just eat the propaganda? To what extent do they believe the propaganda?
