It was covered with metal on Saturday by the University of Hong Kong, which called the work routine maintenance.

It’s not even a plausible excuse.

I want one. Didn’t before.

MadAndy “Lovely jubbly” - well the Queen does live in Peckham, don’t she?

If they don’t disassemble the bridge, he’ll just buy Rotterdam.

There is an interesting super yacht docked in Bristol currently. “Miss Conduct”

Has a chopper on it but a little bit smaller than Mr Bezo’s ones.

An interesting history as it was once a restaurant in New York too which had been frequented by Trump.

I’m guessing the Bristol ownership is likely Mr Hargreaves and Mr Lansdown, but that’s just me guessing.

These things must be massive money holes. The saying goes that you enjoy a boat you buy for two days. The day you take ownership and the day you sell it 😃

Bezo’s current superyacht is a (beautiful) monster:

Gammerz looks like it should belong to a Bond villain. Oh wait…

I used to see this beast when I lived in Spain quite regularly moored off Cartagena
Sailing Yacht A

DrDamn

Jogort That looks like a render on a phone, does it look like a render in real life? 😁

Jogort

DrDamn haha yeah I thought the picture looked strange, taken from it’s wiki but no it doesn’t look quite as weird in real life, still a strange looking tub though

DrDamn

Jogort it’s got that look about it anyway, materials that look like shaders and the like.

I’ve bought part of a wind farm 😀

Not really a WTF but thought it was suitably surreal

Jogort

Is it an NFT of a windfarm, a jar with a breath of wind? 🤣

Gordon

Jogort That’s a homeopathic wind farm surely?

DrDamn

So this is a WFT? Wind Farm Token?

So I found out today that Google Deepmind (their AI and machine learning research division) are teaching an AI to play Overcooked.

This can only end in the machines killing usall, frankly,

DrDamn

Jonbwfc nah, it’ll end up killing itself. “I was on potatoes! It’s my fucking station! You should have been washing up!”. No one can play overcooked without eventually coming to blows, even AI with itself.
