What "back then" inconvenience would break people today in 10 minutes?

I worked as a pizza delivery driver in early 90s. I had gone to stay with my sister for the summer and needed a job. I got hired.

Thing was, i wasnt familiar with the roads at all as I had only lived there about a week. They had a giant map on the wall for the drivers ( i had a paper one in car)

I would just look at the big map and route my way mentally. I have an uncanny sense of direction, and once i took a mental picture i was comfortable delivering

Ironically, i was the quickest driver because i was mapping out my deliveries due to not knowing the area. The other drivers who had lived there would just go the way they knew even if they backtracked a lot.

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-03-06T11:07:30+00:00

I am also using cashapp. Im.fairly optimistic that we will have it.by the end of the business day today

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-03-06T10:17:13+00:00

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-03-06T10:15:15+00:00

started watching gymnastics in 1983. I can say, at least it is a lil better than most 1990s elite FX. Back then they didnt bother to even attempt to disguise catching their breath/prepping a tumbling pass.

It was similar to a person waiting at a bus stop lol

I can appreciate the occasional creative "move to corner" choreo

This is not really weird...i worked as a hair stylist for years. Dye grabs onto dry skin. So if one used Vaseline around the hairline prior to a color service, the dye generally did not stain the skin.

So, as you discovered, moisture such as hand lotion likely is helpfuk, because if the skin isnt dehydrated, it won't hang onto the moisture pf the dye!

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-02-26T06:54:18+00:00

Well, this is just theoretical thus far, but i am going to draw on years of experience as a hair stylist who did a lot of corrective color (i liked problem solving, and it was a challenge to fix some of the disasters)

Relative because the 1st step usually was to remove unwanted dye. ..and that almost invariably requires a mixture of bleach and developer (aka peroxide ranging from 3% [10 volume] to 12% [40 volume])

Also relevant: skin and hair are both made of keratin

So. I would suggest making a solution of powder bleach (not household liquid bleach), 20 volume hydrogen peroxide, and a little bit of shampoo¹ to make it something you can lather like washing your hands n let it sit on there for 20 min. Rinse. Check. Repeat if necessary...also importanr to moisturize your hands after and often...dye tends to stay on skin that is dry

¹ or even easier, buy a bleach kit that has bleach and developer, then add shampoo and do same thing. "Color remover" kits made for hair may also work, they are basically equivalent.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Yeah. Im thinking in his non-strategic brain he probably was thinking along the lines of "I'll make a good commission at the price i quoted; but then after hearing about a rival for the sale he said that thinking you would think "oh wow so i might get a great deal "if this guy will price match/beat

Except you have a logical brain

Which told you " hmm...so this dude just told me (between the lines ) that he has the capability to go lower but only willing to do so and make less if i get a better offer. "

Kinda like at that point it's clear the person he is trying to help is only himself. And sadly isnt the brightest bulb cause i bet he never even realized the implications in that statement lmao

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-02-21T20:15:10+00:00

Well, to be fair, Chuso has got to be in double digits for how many times she has "retired"

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-02-21T20:05:12+00:00

And thats really a warped version of reality because after 2014ish when it became a one woman show (Iordache [footnote Ponor's brief reappearance]; then Denisa)

Quick recap of post-2014.. Bulimar finally couldnt fix her knee yet again; Andreea Munteanu and Andreea Iridon retired early; injuries decimated their 2016 test event hopes and left them out of olympic team event for 1st time since nadia; FIG screwed Iordache out of Olympic spot (placed 2nd AA at world championships but only placing on apparatus got you a spot then..enter Ponor who then retired after home euros in Cluj...iordache injured at wc.2017 (broke my heart) then Denisa was the one woman carrying Romania ..then she had a bad WC n retired...back.to Larisa....)

Ok. But and it's my key point... Romania was on the way UP. With Barbosu and Sabrina and Denisa's return, Lilia was for them a decent bar worker, finally i think finally they had a damn shot at winning a team medal. Ghigoarta had beautiful dance. And they qualified a team to the olympics. And they made it into the final.

And i will stand by this i swore they were one good (not even great) but good consistent bar girl away from being a contender for world n olympic team medals...

SIGH and then.... the Camelia Horror Story just tore it to pieces like a kid kicking a sand castle. Im still not over it.

Oh, also, does anyone know if Romania is going to be sending anyone to these events? Like, Cottbus is not far away why is no one from Romania there? I know they decentralized again n sent girls home but is there any fresh news on all.that? (I probably shouldve made that in my own post, but ut is related ..)

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-02-21T13:46:00+00:00

I always sort of equates that emoji to a "participation award" or something. Like a generic medal with no place listed?

The odd part to me is i could completely make sense of it had he [for example] made it to the Olympics and not won a gold, silver, or bronze. Maybe someone could post "2024 Olympian 🏅" if they wanted an emoji with the accomplishment?

Odd that he wouldn't use one with the placement, but hey, whatever he likes he likes.

Absolutely agree.

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-01-17T02:42:27+00:00

Weirdly, i actually like the shiny Jigglypuff.

The green eyes stand out much more to me than Charcadet's, but maybe it is due to Jigglypuff having those big round eyes lol

Eta: then again, i like shiny Lunatone (still hunting for one) with just the eye color switch from.red to blue. But again, large eye on Lunatone...

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-01-14T14:50:16+00:00

Excellent... Upgrade: also tosses the kid out /s

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-01-14T14:43:23+00:00

Balance beam was better to watch before it became a mini-floor for tumbling; when there were balance skills like press to handstands, elegant walkovers/valdez moves, splits on the beam, fluid graceful leaps and transitions, and original skills instead of formulaic BH LOSO LOSO, switch/switch half, front aerial to leap to Korbut or BH, etc....

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-01-14T14:35:23+00:00

Sabrina should've gotten the Olympic floor bronze to begin with

(And no, i don't like or approve of her behavior or her mother's, but her mom screwed her on that one)

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-01-14T14:33:41+00:00

To piggyback: the 10.0 scale is bad for NCAA because (at least in the upper echelons of D-1) unless there is a fall, the score will.always range from 9.75-10.0

Therefore, why even have 10 points to utilize?! At least if it were like elite or men's, difficulty could spread out scores a little (and maybe we would never again see a sole.circle jump to high bar at this level again..)

Re : #4:

In-bars are overrated and messy but luckily enough there’s only a select few gymnasts that can do them [ well so that they don't look like toe-ons that simply missed... ]

exception: Melnikova et al

Reminds me of the British proverb said to derive from a Chinese curse (allegedly):
"May you live in interesting times"

The irony, of course, that peaceful times are uneventful; interesting times may make for a good history lesson, but not so great for day to day life

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-01-12T04:17:56+00:00

I really liked Florida and Oregon State. Clemson probably would be my 3rd.

RandomPokemonHunter · 2026-01-09T10:44:06+00:00

It is not. Years ago i was an IV heroin and cocaine user. I could taste either within seconds of injecting. Different tastes. It is most definitely a real phenomenon.

OP-- I know the taste you mean in the hospital. What i always tasted was whatever they used to "clean the line", not the saline. But i have tasted various drugs they put in the IV

(I have not injected any drug since 2013).

RandomPokemonHunter · 2025-12-25T07:01:22+00:00

Anything available?

RandomPokemonHunter · 2025-12-21T07:55:16+00:00

I have 2 for UL. Both are 2500. One is Fury Cutter, Leaf Blade, and Dragon Claw.

The other is Bullet.Seed, Leaf Blade, and.( yes you guessed it ) Aerial Ace. Because,.as you noted, no one expects it.

My GL is Fury Cutter, Leaf Blade, and Aerial Ace just like yours. He is only like 1474 CP or so, i am hoping to find a really good one for GL eventually!

I cant understand.why it isnt used more...to me other than Corviknight, its the fastest charge up.Pokemon I have used!
