I thought that cc issuers (maybe not all) had to āabsorbā unauthorized purchases if those were reported within 60 days?
Iām not sure. The debit card is from her bank. Last I heard she was still fighting it.

This song was about as widely misunderstood as Born in the USA. In fact, Timbuk 3 added a new verse because everyone was simply not getting it.

Sure be careful out there, but is this really so dangerous as to be the first article needing ādonāt tryā in the subject, in nearly 2 years on boingboing? The last one I found was:
If people can exit a dark movie theater into sunlight without damaging their eyes, Iām not worried about eye damage.
Now when cosplayers realize they can bounce laser pointers off partially mirrored contacts, then letās warn the kids.

So she had the blacklight LEDs in the helmet and the contacts react to the blacklight? Is that correct?

Perhaps the way the contact lenses glow under the UV light is an indication that they are absorbing and reflecting most of the UV and they protecting the eyes from this.
I hope sheās also wearing lots of sunblock. I managed to get a mild tan from some black lights in a haunted house where I spent a few hours monitoring guests.

Yes, debit too. Regulation E may have his mom on the hook for $50, but as long as the transaction was reported unauthorized in a timely fashion sheāll get the money back. The bank has 30 business days to conduct its investigation and respond in writing to the address they have on file for the customer.

Iāll have to text my niece on that. It was she and her friends who got stung.
As I understand it a big part of the problem is the wavelengths of light in play. This setup is directing a pretty significant amount of UV light directly into her corneas. That canāt be good for oneās vision, but I have no idea how much exposure it would take to create appreciable damage.

You have to wear goggles in a tanning booth and they recommend you keeep your eyes shut, but this is probably fine. /s

I had two experiences with a debit/credit card number being used by someone else (both with Wells Fargo). The second, which was significant (two plane tickets chosen to be just under the federal felony minimum) was handled pretty quickly and efficiently, but the first (a large number of small phone charges that took me a while to notice) Wells Fargo sat on my request for a long time, then sent me a form that had to be returned and postmarkedā¦a week before I received it.
