The US already has died as a global superpower. Only it's military keeps it going.

But... Are they wrong? Have you run for a public office, volunteered for a political cause, or done anything besides talk?

I'm Canadian, and this year I went to Florida to fulfill a life-long (I'll be 60 next year) dream to visit the Kennedy Space Center. One thing I noticed, beyond getting "randomly secondarily" screened at EVERY security checkpoint, was that there were no wait lines for anything anywhere.

No lines at NASA, no lines at restaurants, no lines at Orlando attractions. At least nothing more than a couple of minutes, at most. Even the beaches were mostly empty...

Me, as a Gen X, just keeping under the radar...

Thanks for the driving tip as I absolutely am renting a car at the Orlando airport and driving out to our hotel, which is about 15-20 minutes away from KSC.

I plan on spending at least two full days there so I'll try to hit all of that. How much of that has to be booked in advance?

Also, is it still possible to visit the Apollo 1 memorial?

59 years old today and still in denial.

From Atari's Combat, through Tribes, and now Helldivers, the gaming goes on. There may come a day when I put away my mouse and controller ...

BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

I wish I could afford red meat...

Take a page from Ukraine. Drones can drop all kinds of interesting things.

Well, all the Nestle stuff gets sent back to them. Pretty much all the big name cereal outfits have orders that damaged products are to be sent to a salvage company.

Happily most cheese and sliced meats can be donated, plus we generally send 8-10 shopping carts of baked goods and produce directly from us to them every day

I'm one of the returns clerks in a Costco. First thing we do every morning is process stuff to send the food bank. It irks me how much stuff we aren't allowed to send because the manufacturer won't allow it. Even despite that we send a lot every day. Everything that does spoil at the food bank goes to a local pig farm, who donates pig products back to the food bank whenever he can.
