Now todays one is really difficult 🤣
It’s just Naval internal terminology just like the Principal Medical Officer has the nickname name of Scab Lifter - and a million other terms

Don’t you mean Taranto.
I don’t understand the Royal Navy’s derogatory views on the Fleet Air Arm, they saved the navy’s bacon over and over again

Another day, another whinge about Wordle.
Ummm, by their nature, aren't ALL fish predatory? I bet they are to whatever food they eat.
And, a 'shark' is the only predatory fish around here, as far as I know, and that doesn't fit.
So, once again, I yield.

Sure do, now, take that movie and pump it full of steroids.
Remove the proper military command, replace with unqualified, sychophantic, idiots and a zillion times more firepower, and we arrive at 2026.
I just hope there is a director somewhere ready to say..."Cut".

Yeah, butt you haven't beaten them at a World Cup since...
@Steves-s That's ok. I have a golden retriever like that. Takes over everything and I can't switch him off
Remember the 1970’s kids film Wargames - a look into the future of AI ?
They certainly did and one of Englands finest military leaders was killed on this day - always celebrated in Naval circles unless you are a WAFu then they celebrate Toronto night

Pay, Didn’t England kick France and Spains buts on that day🤣
@Avoca I had already registered that prognosis from your Post Signature.

I always celebrate Princess Leia's birthday. Doesn't everyone...
Will be interesting to see what question is posed by AI on the 21st October - but then again probably nothing as I don’t suppose our cousins across the pond celebrate the day( that is if the vast majority even know what it commemorates)

@Avoca "Well, an awful lot of you're mob voted for this dip-stick, some, three times..."
Totally agree Avoca👍
However disgruntled one might be with his social situation and circumstances
how on earth could he come to believe that a self-serving, narcissistic, senile old man would significantly improve matters?
I'm afraid it reminds me of an infamous man who rose to supreme power in central Europe in the 1930s.
He promised work and prosperity for his citizens (at least those with the right genes!) and that in time 'they would not recognize' their country.
As they crawled out of their bunkers and cellars of destroyed homes in 1945 the remaining citizens saw that he had kept his promise!
Posthumously!

From my perspective, AI is just another tech bubble, about to burst!
Example, OpenAI(ChatGPT) announced plans to build 30,000(?) new Data Centres in North America by 2030!
Fact.
A 1 gigawatt(GW) Data Centre, which is a very basic centre, requires the output of a top-end Nuclear Power Plant (typically ~750-900MW) to function.
In the past 30 years, the US has built less than 5 such Nuclear Power Plants.
Therefore, OpenAI, just one AI company, still has to find the equivalent of 29,995 Nuclear Power Plants worth of power, in North America alone, just to start with.
Its hype, its a scam, it can't be sustained, and communities have already had a gut-full of having these Data Centre's dropped on them.
Oh, and the current Return On Investment(ROI) on AI is about -80%, someone is going to come for their money back - real soon!
Its a Wall Street Bubble.
AFAIC.

@Avoca I started with frigate. Wrong, but at least it told me that there was no E in the answer.
Having worked on Naval Comms systems for 40+ years I knew of no current warship class name which did not contain an E.
Then the Penny, Groschen, Dime, ... dropped and I started thinking generically!😉
BTW: the Lubber line has made it's 3rd or fourth appearance in Qotd.
In fact the frequency of of repeat questions has dramatically increased recently, taking the challenge (and thus the fun)
out of the whole exercise.😒 Unless one simply regards it as a memory test!

Yes we must have had that one at least 4 times. 🙄🙄
We have had quite a lot of repeats just lately.🙂
I have been watching a series on TV just lately, called Ai Decrypted. The experts are all warning that Ai will soon become " Super Ai " and will take over everything and we won't be able to switch it off...
Ours is not there yet 😁☺....
But these experts say that in a few years it will become a threat to our civilisation.
Terminator here we go......😬😩
