The Yacht America
Charles S. Raleigh

From the Smithsonian Museum:

The original yacht America was built in 1851 to compete in the Hundred Guinea Cup, the only American entry against fourteen British vessels. When the race was over, Queen Victoria asked, "Who is in first place?" and was told that America had won. When she asked, "Then who is in second?" the American boat had such a strong lead that the reply was: "Madam, there is no second." After this, the race became known as the America's Cup.

A sailboat has sails.

A yacht is a sail- or motor-propelled watercraft made for pleasure, cruising, or racing.

So a yacht can have sails, or a motor, and a sailboat can be a yacht or a warship, or merchantman.

From what I gather there's no real definition. It's pretty much just a boat intended for recreation, usually one you can overnight on. So, marketing label I guess.

112 First Lady and Daughter got back from their trip on Sunday. Daughter flew back to Austin, but flight was delayed, delayed again, moved to a new terminal before finally boarding around 11:30 (original 10:20 departure). We stayed up until she advised she was home.

Uber picked her up (requested female driver) and she finally arrived at her apartment around 1:30 am.

I watched it all. The cops were professional and cool. The "woman" in question was hysterical and intensely annoying. He had obviously been trained to think that screaming loudly enough would get him his way. He was wrong.

It's easy to laugh and cheer when he was finally put in the squad car, but TBH, it made me a bit sad. Imagine being this loon's family and watching someone you love spiraling the drain this way.

That's simple, she's a serviceable actress, she's black but not black-black, so they get Oscar DEI credits and use her in myriad ways.

277 260 Zendaya has been in a total of 14 films and roughly half of her filmography has been either Spiderman or Dune films.

She's actually under exposed.

278 plus add to the census count to get extra representation

This is a point that gets lost in the discussion a lot. Assume that in fact no illegals vote.

In a state that sends illegals home the 760K citizens in a house district get one Rep.

Then in a state that brings in illegals every 300k citizens get a state rep because they've got 460k illegals around them.

Is this fair? No. In fact this sort of game caused major issues in Britain years ago as "rotten boroughs"

279 As I remarked, Zendaya is very pretty and cute, the issue is that she's 30 and looks like a young teenager.

287 There is a schooner "America 2.0" modeled after the original "America" that does sailing tours in Key West and New York. It is a beautiful vessel.

My wife and I went on an afternoon sail out of Key West. Very breezy day, boat making 11 knots with just mainsail and jib. A wonderful time.

>>I think Zendaya ruined Dune though that could have just been the script writers.

I think the primary issue is that the new Dune films are not good overall and are simply not an improvement over the 1984 film.

296 Zendaya was a Disney kid which means she was passed around Hollywood. That’s how she became a “star” who is in everything. A story as old as time.

298 Zendaya played Zendaya in the Dune movies.

But Zendaya plays Zendaya in every movie she's in.

I think Paul, his mother, and even Jason Momoa did well but ugh every scene with Chani was like watching a Disney special focused on a teenager with a troubled dating life.

Oh my Gawdddd Becky. Paul is totally going to miss the prom to like play with his sandworm. We have to fix this!

The 1984 Dune rushed the story and made egregious errors to it. It is actually the opposite: Villaneuve’s films are a vast improvement.
