Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating on the “every episode” but you’re still going to need at least three actors to play the main character, plus intermediate appearances as they transform which lasts an episode or more. It’s definitely a significant additional problem that you just don’t have to deal with if you start with one of the other books.
The other challenge if you are thinking about doing multiple books and you start with Phlebas is that the Culture are the baddies. You spend a (most) of a series presenting them as such and then flip.

Someone made the point previously about Disney owning Muppets now and doing live action adaptations of all the animated films when they have the opportunity to do muppet versions instead.

Although I would absolutely want more farscape.

TV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP. Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.

How did the first astronauts get inside?

Fast or slow zombies? WWZ hyped up Windsor castle. Some of the Dutch fortifications i.e. Fort Bourtange seem good.

Earliest native digital images looks like 2003

I’ve got the entire catalogue from the Royal photographic society 1870-1915 saved left over from my PhD. But the earliest of those are scans-of-sketches-of-photos because they pre-date the technology to easily duplicate photographs.

Anyone know if anything like this is allowed in the UK?

When you say it doesn’t work in Firefox, does it not work in Firefox or does it say it doesn’t work in Firefox? In the later case and sometimes in both, I have found that just changing the user agent string to something chrome based is sufficient to get it working again.

Not the first time. 80107, if you press the bull’s hole it lights up.

Well now we’re getting really speculative. But probably what we have now but with something like undember or under and duoly or duoer in the 11 and 12 month positions.

“combined with a new, lighter story” so they’re obviously changing stuff but I mean, what do they put in it’s place? Or do they just ignore it?

The fact that it’s a joke about genAi and that joke is a rehash of existing material is rather on point though.

Oh sweet, 5th is confirmed

Ever read Transmetropolitan? It has a whole sub-arc on just the absolute lack of concern that a future society would have for this resurrection obligation/burden imposed on them.

Anyone know how to convert the flipper code format into the base64 format that home assistant/broadlink uses?

One of those alternative universe split points. What if Nokia had just put a damn modem in the n700/800/810 and invented the iPhone before the iPhone…
