The post didn't say what event it is but when I saw two women embracing, I thought it has to be wrestling.

I guess I better read the link.

Pleasure.

why were we throwing certain stuff away when we could either sell the items or use said items to test things?

As a person who worked in a thrift store, I could never understand why we were throwing away good shit, like microwave oven glass plates.

I would price them and put them out.

The same goes for remotes and power cables and a bunch of things that are needed and essentially, useful items.

I thought the same thing.

I've seen, somewhere, a person repainting thrift store figurines, and thought, hell what a smart idea.
