What have you learned this week?

I've learned that I need to clean out my inhalers properly then let them dry thoroughly.

I've now got several unclogged inhalers - that hadn't run out when they stopped working

I have no PayPal account and will not be getting one. I was told they "held" someone's money for six months and blocked them buying or selling using their platform.

I have no crypto currency and I am wondering what people like me will do in the future because it's looking like online transactions are going totally digital.

I've had PayPal for years an never had money blocked or held. That said they do hold payment if selling high value goods but realise it as soon as the buyer receives the item (so usally just a couple of days). If they hold money any longer than that then someone is up to something dodgy.

I don't do krypto or bit coins though

I learned that it's frighteningly easy to close someone else's accounts with water and power suppliers and insurance companies, and to stop their credit cards. Someone I knew has died and I've been helping by making phone calls - one credit card company stopped the account but wanted me to forward the death certificate but one was quite happy to close the account and forward the final bills to someone with no obvious relationship to the deceased. You could really fuck up someone's life if you had a mind to it.

How to jump on my Mountain Bike, I'm nearly 50 so well chuffed.
