Thank God, finally.....Bugatti has invented a self-leveling pool table for use on the yacht which adjusts in real-time, I was so worried nobody would solve this problem, now I can sleep more easily at night: For a mere £217,000 sophisticated computer technology will ensure the table remains perfectly level as their boat ploughs through the waters of the Mediterranean or the Persian Gulf. Already Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Emir of Abu Dhabi, is thought to have expressed an interest in buying one of the Bugatti pool tables for his 180m yacht, the £400 million Azzam. Only 30 of the limited edition pool tables will be manufactured by the French-based firm and they are all expected to sell out within days of being released over the coming weeks. Bugatti says the self-stabilising mechanism of the pool tables, made of precision carbon fibre, machined aluminum and corrosion-proof titanium, allows players to pot with ease as their yacht ploughs through the waves or sit moored in luxury marinas and island coves. The firm boasts that “an optional servo-driven system deploys a gyroscopic sensor to level the table” and that “each leg can move to compensate for the movement of a ship and remain perfectly level. The system can adjust in just five milliseconds, and the movement is completed in total silence with vibration-free adjustment”. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/05/07/bugatti-sells-200k-self-levelling-table-superyacht-owners-want/I'd like to see a self leveling boat. They do have such things and they're quite common. Hold in Place stabilizers compensate for even small movements. www.powerandmotoryacht.com/maintenance/everything-you-ever-wanted-know-about-marine-stabilizers

Did you know ...
... If Hydrogen (aka H2) is produced with 'green energy' like from solar or wind energy it's called green H2. If the energy used to generate comes from 'fossil' sources it's called grey H2 but if CO2 is captured before it can escape into the atmosphere it's called blue H2.

What is it called if it is made from sulphuric acid and iron like we did for weather balloons.....or is that a question for oldie.

... Woke means being conscious of racial discrimination in society and other forms of oppression and injustice. In mainstream use, woke can also more generally describe someone or something as being "with it.".

Did you know ... "The Linux Foundation Public Health is releasing the infrastructure for the first international COVID-19 passport. It's being considered for use by both the United Nations and the European Union. ... The GCCN isn't designed for that purpose. Instead, it really is a coronavirus vaccine passport. It will do this by establishing a global trust registry network. This will enable interoperable and trustworthy exchanges of COVID certificates among countries for safe reopening and provide related technology and guidance for implementation. It's being built by the Linux Foundation Public Health and its allies, Affinidi, AOKPass, Blockchain Labs, Evernym, IBM, Indicio.Tech, LACChain, Lumedic, Proof Market, and ThoughtWorks. These companies have already implemented COVID certificate or pass systems for governments and industries." www.zdnet.com/article/linux-foundation-readies-global-covid-certificate-network/Way to go, only a few billion $$ and some time and it'll be perfect like any wonderful new IT project with many interested partners. I think I'll register as specialist / consultant to get me my slice of the pie.

Did you know ... ... that many teams like the name "Spartans" but Thebes in fact defeated Sparta in battle and ended its reign as superpower of Greece. Might it be part of an age old conspiracy to suppress the gay attitude of the Thebes? "The Victorious Gay Greek Army That Got Canceled by History ... Let’s start by noting that Greek Thebes (not to be confused with the Egyptian city of the same name) had unusually gay-friendly laws and social customs. Plato, who examined male love relationships in his dialogue Symposium, singled out Thebes and one other city, Elis, as places where such bonds were natural and normal, whereas, in his native Athens, they were more “complicated.”" www.yahoo.com/news/victorious-gay-greek-army-got-034237410.html

^^^ "the battles of ... Salamis in 480 BC".
Salamis? Spicy sausages? Is that a euphemism for penises? In other words, a cock fight?
