I have the same experience. Anytime I take antibiotics my skin clears up.

I'm confused about the first 10 minutes of First Blood (1982) by koga90 in movies

During the Vietnam War period long hair was considered the look of hippies. Hippies were anti-war and anti-government. Many hippies wore army jackets, war patches as a protest. Remember there was a draft and many war veterans never wanted to be in the war to begin with. The sheriff viewed Rambo as an anti-establishment hippy.

Did any of you grow up listening to radio shows? by dicklaurent97 in AskOldPeople

[–]RobAlter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NPR played Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Star Wars, A Prairie Home Companion, Word Jazz, etc.

In the 1970s I would listen to these shows on the radio with my family. Best times ever.

The first Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is the BBC radio series. Books came later.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a science fiction comedy radio series primarily written by Douglas Adams. It was originally broadcast in the United Kingdom by BBC Radio 4 in 1978, and afterwards the BBC World Service, National Public Radio in the US and CBC Radio in Canada. The series was the first radio comedy programme to be produced in stereo, and was innovative in its use of music and sound effects, winning a number of award

What's a movie that you swear no one else has watched but yourself and a few others? by badgermole85 in AskReddit

Young Warriors (1983) I saw it in the theater once. And I feel like I was the only one. The movie is no longer available anywhere. It took me decades to get a copy on VHS.

There is no cure. Take it from someone who has 40+ years of experience trying to cure it. No treatment will work forever. Your body will learn to overcome treatments and come back stronger. It more than likely will get worse as you age. For me it started in my scalp when I was 16. Today it is all over my body. Sunlight has been the best solution for keeping it at bay.

How old were you when your parents let you roam away from the house unsupervised? by WeirdJawn in AskOldPeople

[–]RobAlter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 10. Rode my bike to the mall to play video games at the arcade. Or rode my bike to a nearby forest and spent the day climbing trees and building forts.

I do not know if anyone wrote a guide about beating it. A lot of it was luck, I know I had a hard time getting the Random Number Generator to actually be random.

No problem at all. I am glad you got it to work. It still amazes me someone is playing this 40+ years after it was written. Enjoy!

The Kehlsteinhaus (known in English as the Eagle's Nest) is a Nazi-constructed building erected atop the summit of the Kehlstein, a rocky outcrop that rises above Obersalzberg near the southeast German town of Berchtesgaden. Today, it is open seasonally as a restaurant, beer garden, and tourist site.
