Collecting body parts goes back centuries. For example, embedded within every sanctified altar in every Catholic church is a relic from a saint. The first-class (most desirable) relics are body parts.

Private ownership of saints’ relics used to be expressly forbidden. AFAIK it is now simply heavily discouraged. So you might have trouble making a business out of it, unless you can convince the church that you are legit.

And good luck getting permission to authenticate any of the existing ones. God specifically said you’re not supposed to put Him to the test.

Big 90’s nostalgia right there. I remember my friend’s dad bought a laser disc player for their giant rear projection TV. We watched Top Gun and it was the most awesome thing ever.

Trying to keep up with you

Yeah. I love water!

Swimming! The summer heat is here (it was 98F/36C today) and the neighborhood pool is open, so there is no better place to be in the afternoons.

Happy midsummer!

I visited Sweden years ago. On the trip I was invited to join a family’s midsummer party. It was lots of fun!

I hope I can go back some day. It’s a fantastic country.

Hey, no kink shaming.

I like Sky Map. Originally developed by Google, open-sourced in 2012.

Competing standards and clueless sellers are bad, and then the tire marketing makes things even worse.

Marketed for road? That’s 700c.
Marketed for mountain? That’s 29".
Marketed for ebikes? That’s 28".

But all three tires fit on the same 622mm diameter rim.

Throw people in prison and then they aren’t homeless. Problem solved! /s

This is the answer right here. Hook up with a local sailing club and take classes. If you love it, make friends with other sailors and rent the club’s boats.

If there’s interesting stuff to see near shore, and the tides are manageable, then kayaking is also great. It’s cheap and easy to get into, and great exercise.

Thanks for giving us a great app!

Homeopathics, though sometimes even a placebo can have beneficial effects.

I’m expecting ponies. So many ponies.
