But it's ok because it's also going to solve climate change.

Nice. Didn't remember that it was a clean sweep.

  • Silo series by Hugh Howie
  • Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi (Young adult dystopian scifi)
  • Across the Universe by Beth Revis (Young adult)
  • Bird Box by Josh Malerman (apocalyptic thriller)
  • Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (fantasy, not scifi, but I'm digging up stuff from when I used to read more prolifically)
  • Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds. I read this so long ago, and I feel like their were some great female characters, but I can't remember if any were the protagonist. Each novel shifts around.

Damn, took mine. Although thanks for saving me a google, since I have a terrible memory. Not a female, but very similar stories are his Alex Benedict series.

Glad someone answered my question before I even got here! Figured it couldn't be too far off.

While this means the E. coli cells are technically displaying the game rather than actually running it, it’s still impressive to see Doom being ported in this way.

Ren also notes that the game is only able to run at one frame every 8.33 hours.

Ya, that's what they do.

Remember that the 14 tallest peaks in the world are over 8 km from sea level. So 4,300m is definitely not near the summit.

The article really sucks on details, but some quick googling tells me that the two base camps are above 5,100m, so this must be below even that.

Edit: the "remember" part is not condescending, just something I try to remember to give perspective on heights. And I thought it was the 8 highest peaks before fact-checking myself 😅.

Not sure what the font is, but looks more likely to be upper O.

He meant what he said and he said what he meant.

 

It's a running joke.
