A neighbor pointed out to me that Venmo, Paypal, and other such services lack the consumer protections of a credit card. So, I don’t use them. If I have a problem with a purchase, I know my credit card vendor will contact the merchant and deal with it. Even if the vendor says “All sales are final”, I’ll get a refund when I challenge the sale.

I left FB before the pandemic and don’t regret it. When I still had an account, I had to verify my account by sending them my DL. I did it but blanked out my address and DL #. That was invasive enough. This is just insane.

When I make Scampi, I use the shells to make a shrimp stock to cook the shrimp and butter. Broiling jumbo shrimp with Bay’s Seasoning in the shell means I take the shell off before eating it.

Pasolini’s SALO. Images from it corrupt my brain.
