It was beached and yeah they're fucking huge. The camera distorts it slightly here is another angle. That little orange lifeboat can probably hold the whole crew
If you read your link you might notice it is actually "cruise ship" big. At 142.8m long at with a GT of 12,558 it is bigger than quite a few cruise ships. It is certainly smaller than the biggest ships but it is still absolutely massive. For example of a similar sized cruise ship to this yacht just see the L'Austral which has many French sister ships around the same size. https://www.ecosia.org/images?q=L%27Austral
No manmade telescope can take such detailed images of exoplanets.
This is a screenshot of Space Engine. For reference, here's a screenshot I just took of it: https://i.imgur.com/lS3itPx.png
Sadly this is fake, i saw it on Instagram a while ago, i will try to find the original
Edit: i find a very similar image in Shutterstock pretty sure is not the same but you can see the real height of the building, and for the name of the photo is in Hong Kong
Funny you should say that -- I bought a second 3DS XL today. $100 bucks, came with Smash Brothers AND Fire Emblem. Couldn't pass it up.

I worked as an illustrator for a german book called 'Size Matters' which this sub would really like btw and compare huge stuff between each other.
Here is the comparison between Hiroshima, the Tsar Bomb, and a A380 plane for scale

Hope that works on mobile! It's from the same company I bought my adapter from 10 years ago, and works like a damn charm with Project 64! Good luck, 007!
For those interested in the story of how and why the Zeppelin came to be, there's a really fascinating book on it, and the competition it faced from quickly advancing airplane technology.
I found this on Amazon
The guy obviously didn't read this book.
This story by Jeff Masters will probably make you uncomfortable. In Hurricane Hugo, they underestimated the storm and went in too low. On top of that, they lost an engine.
I recommend The Way Things Work by David Macaulay, it’s a great book/series that explains how things work using fun illustrations and explanations!
With a relatively cheap telescope you can see the moons of Jupiter and rings on Saturn. My friend got one for just over $200 (Celestron StarSense LT 114AZ) that has an app so you can attach your phone to the telescope and it tells you where to aim it. I don't know much about telescopes but I bet you could get a cheaper one without that bit and just play around until you can aim it correctly.
I looked into it a while back and ended up getting a 8" dobsonian for around $500. It's huge and way more than I planned on spending, but you can see so much with it.
I just looked around on amazon and this $65 Celestron has a review with a picture of Saturn and the rings, and another with Jupiter and some moons. I bet that would be cool to show to your family.
Also, don't point it at the sun or you'll melt it. And it looks like there's an option for a moon filter. Definitely do that if you want to spend a lot of time looking at the moon. It's really bright up close lol
What is the name of it? I'm only seeing four here on Amazon and then that "related" book at the bottom called Night Flights which describes itself as three short stories about Anna Fang's past.
Nope, this is a $100 kayak you can find on Amazon. I know because I have the same one and I don’t bring it anywhere except calm lakes that have little to no waves. I’ve taken it to Lake Ontario before and that was perhaps the scariest thing I’ve ever done. It has almost no stability and takes 10x the effort of a hardshell kayak to move forward.
If you're interested in life aboard an oil rig, you should defnitely check out Paul Carter's book Don't Tell Mum I Work at the Rigs (She thinks I'm a Piano Player in a Whorehouse).
​
It's like a collection of anedoctes (more like platinum awarded reddit posts) about his life, which was mostly spent at oil rigs.
Really, I can't recommend it enough. I had a great time reading it.
According to this source, pillars are buried into the ground, up to 100m under the seafloor (which is usually made of sediments, so sort of soft/muddy). I don't think you'd need a flat area.
I found the link on this Wikipedia page. Interesting read.
Yeah, no kidding. Between that portable collection you saw on my instagram (not pictured there are my 2 PSPs, a Vita, the new 3DS I just picked up, the Dingoo, PS3, PS4, Wii, on top of OpenEMu -- imagine an iTunes of emulation, it's wild. Look at that interface! --, I know I'll die before I can play even 1% of all the games I have amassed over the years.
But for some strange reason having all of this around me soothes me. I look at my collection and smile. I'm from a third world country (I mean, it's getting better, but back in the 90s? Third world country all the way) and my family couldn't afford these nice things. I had one videogame console growing up, the SNES, which I sadly broke all too soon. Lusted over the Game Boy for years, and never ended up owning one.
Well, now I have a display case full of them, that I can afford to have as decoration :D
