    Are we getting dumber as a society? In this 20 minute or so video, Nate makes some fun and offensive comparisons of our world today vs. 2006 when the movie Idiocracy first appeared on the big screen. I laughed a little, was offended a little, but mostly just nodded along in agreement looking back at scenes from the movie to where we are today. Those were my reactions so you have been warned.

    Credit: Dawn Aerospace/Cover Images A rocket-powered aircraft has broken the sound barrier for the first time since Concorde, following a successful test flight in New Zealand.

The test flight on November 12 saw the uncrewed aircraft reach a speed of Mach 1.1 (844 mph) and climb to...

    When you think Halloween, it’s hard not to picture candy corn (gross, but iconic), kids in overpriced costumes, and jack-o’-lanterns grinning like they just got their student loans forgiven. But this spooky celebration, now pretty much an American pastime, wasn’t born in the aisles of Spirit Halloween stores. Nope, it started as a Celtic tradition before America slapped its commercial magic all over it and exported it worldwide like a Marvel movie.

The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

    NATO has set an autumnal challenge for sharp-eyed followers to spot soldiers hiding in a woodland setting. The image shows a forest in an undisclosed location carpeted with leaves, with the troop members blended perfectly into their natural surroundings. NATO posted the photo on its X account, along with a picture of a Maple leaf, hinting that the soldiers are in Canada. In another video posted on social media by NATO the soldiers emerge from their hiding spots carrying rifles and point them towards the camera.

    So I recently retired from the air force and I'm just looking to keep busy and keep my brain learning. I created a mobile game that you can try on itcho.io. I'll soon be releasing it on the app stores (iphone and android). I'd love your feedback on what you think. Is the music for each mode appropriate? Is it fun? Are the modes distinct and interesting enough to try each one? You can try the game here: https://schlista.itch.io/kabocha
