LOL, I did exactly that a few weeks ago, after watching the 1960 premier of a 1/2 hour spy show, called Danger Man. Episode was about a guy who ripped off $5M in gold bullion.
$5,000,000 in 1960, has inflated to $43.7M in 2020. That was a lot of money indeed.
But I went a step further.
In 1960, gold was $36.50 an oz. Then, $5M would buy you 136,986.3 ozs of gold.
Today, gold is about $1842 an ounce. If you had those 136,986.3 ozs, they would now be worth about $252 million-a hell of lot more than that relatively paltry $43.7M.

Basically it's a service, where people will either fufill your shopping list or retrieve an order a store has already filled for you, and then deliver it to your door in as contactless a way as possible.

From what I remember, it's not a Get Out of Hell for Free card. The repenting has got to be deep down, 100% legit, cause god always knows. Having said that, this Jesus has a great shit disturber vibe going on, lol.

@cakelover different plumbing standards between North America and Europe. First time I went to London, I had to use the facilities at the airport. The toilet was on a raised platform and itself was taller than the ones here. It was literally like sitting on a throne, my feet were almost dangling(I'm 6'2") and the water-way, way, way below, looked like about a cups worth, but different look and feel aside, it was fine, lol. Here's a bit more on the matter.

Purple is the rarest colour they sport. They also can be orange, green, yellow, brown, black or blue. They are also known as clown toads, and with a paint scheme like this you just know they're toxic. Their skin is covered with a poison similar to that found on poison dart frogs, so avoid trying to juggle them barehanded.

Even though the cat in the picture looks a bit like Hobbes, he seems to be dancing like Calvin. Win-win.

Poison, in a painted-on carrier, that allows it to penetrate skin, is not just a movie trope. Or, if you're the very patient type, slap low-sodium labels on full sodium soups, lol.

They leave them out in the sun to both soften their colours and increase their value. Brand new antique rugs are ripening, lol.

If you feel this is for you, its about $35 Canadian on Bezos' gold mine. Here's the blurb for it:
"Satisfy your beast sized morning appetite like a true hombre with the man bowl. This high quality ceramic bowl is designed to look like a classic dog bowl and measures a massive 10 inches all around, while sporting a bold 'MAN' label on the side for added manliness."

Lot of interesting moments. The casual way he used that captive bolt gun, coupled with the obliviousness of his victims to their impending doom was truly disturbing. Then again, the silent shotgun was just laughable.

Yes, and they've got more current videos, only a few months old, where they're still dicking around with clear skateboards.

You're right. Polycarbonate is 250 times more impact resistant than glass, while acrylic tops out at 10. Also, poly can be be engineered to retain a degree of flexibility. Acrylic will crack if drilled close to an edge, poly won't. Acrylic is slightly more transparent and scratches can be buffed out as opposed to poly. Having said that, there was, a now defunct company in 2016, called Invizaboard, that tried to come to market, but ultimately failed. You can still find their bleached bones on Instagram. The boards were just too slippery, too heavy and too fragile.
Braille Skateboarding on YT has multiple videos of them trying out both clear plastic and actual glass boards to varying degrees of success.
