The fifth season - N. K. Jemisin (spanish edition)
Finish it! And it was incredibly good. Can't wait to begin the second book in the series!
I'm a huge fan of science-fiction and I used to really enjoy fantasy as well, and specially the one with maps at the beginning and new and different worlds, Tolkien style.
But I have kept away from them because it got boring to me. I began to feel like it was always the same: medieval Europe with male white protagonists and dragons or magic.
This book is different. It takes the same base and it innovates. And at the same time gives voice to all the characters that usually don't even have name.
I could talk for hours about it, but I'm terrible at putting words together coherently, so: Really-really good book.

I haven’t been at university this week for personal reasons but nevertheless I’ve done so much work and I’m really proud of myself. In particular, I’m so happy with my progress in programming. I managed to write 5 functions in MATLAB 2 weeks before the deadline which I wouldn’t have been able to do at all last semester! Happy days ☺️
fuck the zodiac tell me which sin rules your personality
Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics.
If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%.
if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%.
thats how that works.
this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby
Mythbusters Physics: Relative Velocity
The Mythbusters tested what would happen if a ball was shot at 60 mph off the back of a truck travelling at 60 mph to see what would happen.
It became a perfect example of the relative nature of physics - showing that velocity can vectorially add together. 60 mph in one direction cancels the 60 mph in the other, meaning a net velocity of zero.
