What is a "passage boat?" Is it like a ferry or a shuttle that just handles navigating a specific passage?

A ‘passage boat’ is an old-fashioned word for a ferry: this one is probably the regular passenger service between Dordrecht and Rotterdam, part of the network of waterborne public transport which was such a remarkable feature of life in seventeenth-century Holland. This vessel is a pleyt – a single-mast, sprit-rigged, shallow draught, broad-hulled tub, very similar to a smalschip – adapted to carry large numbers of passengers slowly in calm inland waters.

Canada Is America's Least Helpful Ally
The official NATO estimate of Canada’s defense effort is only 1.33% of GDP. Canada is indeed a middle power, as measured by the size and stability of its economy, but Ottawa’s foreign policy has always been one of free riding on its democratic allies. Canadians proudly embrace joining international organizations that demand little of it. Posted by: SMOD at June 20, 2024 09:41 AM (RHGPo) 53

"Passage" is a fun word. The sea lane or route is itself is a "passage." The boat that plies it is a "passage boat." Your ticket on the boat entitles you to "passage." On your way to the dock, you'll probably walk through a hallway (or corridor, or passageway).
You book your passage, then proceed through the passageway to the gangway to board the passage boat to cross the passage. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 20, 2024 09:43 AM (d04cU) 66

I like what Cuyp does with light and perspective. Also, the natural poses of the people. The distant areas he usually includes have the benefit of stressing the details of the main subject. In this case the way he shows the worn wood of the hulls and the wonderful details of the sails. I'm not familiar with this artist although I can see why he is included in the Golden Age of Dutch painters. Looking at his Wiki page shows a lot of charming scenes done with the same skill and techniques. It will be worth the time to learn more about Cuyp.
Thanks, CBD, for today's art and an introduction to the artist. Posted by: JTB at June 20, 2024 09:44 AM (zudum) 71

A older female divorce attorney had an office just down the hall from me. She told me she couldn't like anyone who didn't like the movie Master and Commander. I don't know why. There is no romance, damn few chicks, plenty of wooden ships and iron men. Her son, also an attorney, told me she had been a nurse in Vietnam and it drove her crazy.

Posted by: BourbonChicken at June 20, 2024 09:54 AM (cf/0E) ++++ The Bechdel Test is stupid and meaningless. It exists merely as a way for bitter feminists to point at normality and call it oppressive. It's utterly irrelevant and pointless. If a story *doesn't* fail the Bechdel Test, it's because it has characterization and the women in the story actually care about shit like relationships and family. For a natural or realistic story to pass the Bechdel Test, it has to either have no women in it at all (or just one lone woman), or be entirely about a something where romance can never even enter into the equation in the first place without breaking the story. Bechdel and her stupid test are stupid. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 20, 2024 09:58 AM (d04cU) 100

The Bechdel test, also known as the Bechdel-Wallace test, is a measure of the representation of women in film and other fiction. The test asks whether a work features at least two female characters who have a conversation about something other than a man. If two women appear in a work of fiction and discuss a man, the work fails the Bechdel Test. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 20, 2024 10:00 AM (d04cU) 109

Kash Patel, a former federal prosecutor and adviser to former President Donald Trump, has asserted that Congress has the authority to arrest and detain U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Patel’s statement stems from Garland’s refusal to turn over embarrassing audio recordings of Joe Biden’s classified documents interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, which were subpoenaed by Congress.

Following an enrollment decline, Emerson College, in an email sent to faculty and staff Tuesday, announced that it will lay off staff and not fill some vacant positions in fiscal year 2025, according to The Boston Globe. The college is blaming the enrollment decline in part on “negative press and social media” from the pro-Palestinian demonstrations and subsequent arrests. .. cue Sad Trombone Sound Posted by: SMOD at June 20, 2024 10:05 AM (RHGPo) 140

Dream on, Apu- Congress has no police powers
Posted by: Don Black at June 20, 2024 10:09 AM (/7KEl) The inherent power of Congress to find a recalcitrant witness in contempt has not been invoked by the House in recent years because of the time-consuming nature of the trial and because the jurisdiction of the House cannot extend beyond the end of a Congress. See Anderson v. Dunn, 19 U.S. 204 (1821). The first exercise of this power in the House occurred in 1812, when the House proceeded against a newspaper editor who declined to identify his source of information that had been disclosed from executive session. 3 Hinds Sec. 1666. Such powers had been exercised before the adoption of the Constitution by the Continental Congress as well as by England's House of Lords and House of Commons. Jurney v. MacCracken, 294 U.S. 125 (1935). Although the use of such powers was supported by the Supreme Court in Jurney, neither House has used them since 1935.

Trump down by 3 in new national Foxnews poll.
=============== FNC had Biden up 9.5 at this same point in 2020, so another way to look at this FNC horseshit is that the junta has lost 6.5 points nationally. Of course, it isn't a national election so results like the Selzer Iowa poll matter lots more anyway. Posted by: Huck Follywood at June 20, 2024 10:21 AM (7cqdR) 201

If yes, please describe the aspects of your command; Have you ever guarded (or commanded others to guard) detainees? Did you use explosives during your military service?

"According to attorney Liam Schwartz, head of the Labor and Corporate Immigration Department at the Tel Aviv-based law firm of Goldfarb, Seligman, the U.S. Immigration Authority is now applying a new policy on Israelis, under which they must be questioned about their military service - both present and past.
"An investigation that seeks explanations about how, when and why weapons and/or explosives were used against another person is intended to understand if you have committed war crimes. A question regarding the custody of detainees is intended to 'catch' the military personnel and police officers who participated in the arrests in the West Bank. A demand for information regarding the active participation as a combatant in battles may also be used by the authorities for the purpose of formulating their position in relation to acts defined as genocide."
