      My ex-teamlead owns a yacht (if he didn’t sell it). The catch is that yacht is worth about $40 thousands, not $4 millions.

      Also there was a person in USSR who built a yacht and circumnavigated the Earth on that, not everyone who do own a yach own that luxury slab of floating gold

          Somehow the response got lost 🤔

          It did float even though it was not new and not spacious. Then again, there are sail sport yachts that may be even cheaper but can’t be used as a home or to navigate an open water.

          Lot.

          And actually, to be “fair” to him, his daughters raped him.

          As written it’s not strictly his fault. Even if his parenting skills clearly lack.

            As written the only person who could have communicated that story is Lot himself. Coming out of the desert with only your two daughters and two babies seems like it might be good motivation to embellish

            Not sure if you read your history book (the Bible), but he only brought 2 of everything. Including mosquitoes, flies, tardigrades, etc. Everything else died.

              Yeah, not sure if you’re intending to be combative, but not every Christian believes that flood narrative is literal historical account.

              I was just being a little silly.

              Not sure if you read your history book (the Bible), but he brought seven pairs of clean animals and birds (Gen 7:2-3).

        Noah would’ve been a genocide-complicit, doomsday cult prepper, similar to those who build private libertarian cities on the ocean or some planet as a climate adaptation strategy.

      Some people live on yachts and that’s their entire home. So like a 70,000£ yacht, then like 300£ a month in slip (berth) fees, including electric and whatnot. I strongly considered it. It’s roughly the same cost but better than caravan living, IMO.

      It’s a decent alternative to a landlocked home.

      But yeah, millionaires with yachts are a different thing.

          They are almost always better in their dock, specifically boats optimised as condos are terrible at sea since open ocean is not in their design brief

          Perhaps they might be better up river as far as they can go
