    As I have been shopping around, every private seller now seems to expect payment via Zelle or Venmo

    Am I alone in struggling with the idea of sending thousands via a form of payment that offers zero buyer protection?

    Nope. In fact, I won’t buy anything from anyone using one of those platforms, especially as Zelle was synonymous with “Zelle scam” for a long time.

    Apparently we're properly bracing for a blizzard beginning at about 2am tomorrow morning.

    Heat aside, my favorite flavor is Ghost Pepper. Whether it's ranch/ketchup/etc adding Ghost Pepper to it is absolutely my jam.


    Also, Grandpa always said I needed that thing like I needed another hole in my head. So I got both the thing and another hole:
