Solid, the #fintech "genius" that could have been the next #AWS, just proved it's more of a #sinking #ship after burning through $81 million like it was Monopoly money 🚢💸. Maybe next time they'll try being liquid instead of #solid, or better yet, just vapor. 😂🌀 #Oops

Reuters: What we know about the sinking of the superyacht off Sicily

...The coast guard said bad weather had been forecast, but added that it was more virulent than expected. Some locals spoke of a waterspout, or sea whirlwind, of exceptional force. "It was a strange thing," fisherman Andrea Carini told Reuters. ...

The Maldives Might Not Be Sinking After All

When you look at this project... it's really not significantly different than a small town pier. I don't think any of the vehicles or dock parts large than even typical river barges.

The soldiers appear to be LOOKING for the damned genocide barges.

Great start to Port Genocide.
