Mike Slater is the dude broadcasting on RSBN now - he’s OK
In modern parlance, a ship is a large boat. Ships are some times called boats, but boats are not called ships. The rule of thumb is that a ship is a boat that can carry another boat or boats.
Having said that, as a former crew member on a square rigged ship, I feel compelled to offer the arcane, traditional, age of sail definition: A ship is a sailing vessel with more than one mast and square rigged sails on all masts. A ship may have fore and aft sails as well, but must carry yards (Poles that hang crosswise on the mast from which the sails are hung) on all masts.
I was married aboard the Falls of Clyde, a four masted, full rigged ship.
Exit polls seem to indicate
@JoeBiden
is far ahead in China, Iran and Russia.
Has anyone seen any bad news for Trump?
.
If POTUS can win popular vote there were 14 states that will deliver their electoral votes as well! That would be amazing.
Some vote totals. 4 years ago we found this to be the best real time web site. Roll your cursor over the 3 states with numbershttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-president.html
from 3d3n:
Trump wins easily.
This election is about the hat trick, not just Trump.
WH.
Senate.
House.
I suspect voter fraud issues will not decide the Presidency at all but will be used to dispute Trumps House Majority. If the Dems lose the House, they cant stop investigations.
What else would you expect from a community organizer...aka rabble-rouser?
NO. The worst is that there are sporadic reports of fraud in PA as well as the DEM strongholds posting charts of “how to vote DEM” for their braindead voters. NV is looking very positive.
Another day, another thread.
What’s next, a new thread every hour ?
IN, Again.

“What is the difference between a Boat and a Ship?”
The way I learned it in boot camp was that any vessel under 100’ long was a boat. Over that, a ship.
Submarines are also “boats” regardless of length.
