    At least these were caught before the doors fell off in flight.

      By Craig Munro from Metro
      A plug door fell off one of the jets run by Alaska Airlines mid-flight last Friday.

    I was thinking about the news that Elon Musk plans to launch #X / #Twitter peer-to-peer payments this year. If he's not willing and able to allow the company to meet regulator requirements, they will find it very difficult to get banks to allow their system to connect to the existing financial system. And that means people will have to buy some sort of in-game tokens or something.

    This does not necessarily mean a #cryptocurrency token. I don't imagine he would enjoy the "visible to the world" nature of most cryptocurrency transactions. It could be something more like "Linden dollars" in Second Life or the Fortnite in-game currency (I occasionally buy a gift card for it then send the card to my grandson #A1).

    Mentally, I first read "grey" as "gree" and then have to reinterpret during a correction step.

    @clacke I don't know whether Russia has / had this, but the US used to have an air unit specifically tasked with taking down anti-aircraft defenses so other aircraft could perform their missions. This was before stealth aircraft was a known thing, so I don't know whether such units still exist.

    > I've often felt that French is overrepresented, particularly within international organizations like the #IOC.

    I think that France was one of the first nations to realize that some things required supranational organizations. Add that to their colonial holdings in Africa and parts of the Americas (the Canadian province of Quebec isn't the only area that was French, either directly or as a refuge after French Canada was conquered) and they still appear over-represented, but not nearly as much.

    There are (former?) Francophone areas in New Hampshire and Maine, for example. And Louisiana. Even places like eastern Missouri (St Louis, St Charles, Cape Girardeau).

    @clacke Only in that brand of containers. In the US, a pint is 16 fl. oz. and a quart is fl. 32 oz. A liter is about 33.8 fl. oz.

      from Bloomberg.com
      A highly anticipated decision by the US Securities and Exchange Commission on whether to approve a spot-Bitcoin exchange-traded fund quickly morphed into a major cybersecurity incident on Tuesday.

    Looking at the local news sites. Drunk driver hits another vehicle. Drunk driver hits parked vehicle. Drunk driver hits pedestrian.

    I'm getting the feeling these are last week's stories (2023-12-31 and 2024-01-01, when lots of people drink to celebrate New Year's Eve and New Year's Day).

    @clacke https://finance.yahoo.com/news/j-j-pay-700-million-150121692.html

    Johnson & Johnson is paying USD$700M to settle legal cases alleging that J&J knew its powders and other talc products cause cancer. J&J denies that its products cause cancer, but has settled the case.

    1. J&J to pay $700 million to settle states' talc-marketing probe - Bloomberg News
      from Yahoo Finance
      The settlement would avert potential lawsuits alleging J&J hid any links between the talc in its powder and various cancers, the report said citing people familiar with the deal. J&J and representatives for state attorneys general are still working out the specific terms of the deal but have agreed on the total amount, Bloomberg News reported. J&J did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

    #coin-laundry today. The laundromat is not crowded. The hundred-loads families are just starting to arrive now that everything is in dryers.

    I did see a lady get down on the floor so she could force more clothes into a washer. I suspect those clothes will not be very clean, since they cannot rub and scrub each other.
