    Think the banking system is stable and your money stored in banks is safe? https://bikeshed.party/objects/cddd15e5-9f73-44c1-989e-2d1a01b6a139 says that #WSJ stated 186 banks are in similar condition to recently seized #SVB. (No link included and I don't feel like trying to dodge their paywall while searching Wall Street Journal for one specific article.) Fears of #contagion have a real basis ... it remains to be seen whether we weather this without a 2008-2011 style financial panic.

    Also, the follow-up post says that more than 20 private jets flew to Omaha #NE yesterday ... speculation being that regional bank CEOs are coming to see Warren Buffett for some sort of bailout. I don't necessarily hold to that view, simply because with so many publicly traded entities, someone would have said something that required a disclosure filing with the #SEC (the real one, not the South Eastern Conference of college football, but the Securities and Exchange Commission). They may or may not have filed such a filing, but for sure, those CXOs would go out of their ways to avoid the appearance of needing to file.

    Note also that most recent problems in the #cryptocurrency space have been caused by entanglements with traditionally regulated commercial #banks, #exchanges, and other regulated #financial companies. I don't think people should consider cryptocurrency an "investment" so much as a secondary channel for transactions that may offer continued access when your bank is inaccessible.

    I recently experienced a bank being inaccessible, as the bank I'd been using since the 1990s sold the branch where my account was located and I've spent the last couple of months dealing with a bungled transition. Coming on top of six months without income, it has been highly stressful. Just yesterday, they notified me that they think they've cleared the last obstacle.

    Years ago, when I was working in Lincoln, #NE, the whole city would fill up (including hotels) with people wearing Cornhuskers red on a weekend when UNL had a big football game.

    It also filled when the College World Series was happening in Omaha, #Nebraska.

    The cold event in the middle of the country (from at least #NE, #KS, and #MO to #OH and probably beyond) continues to march forward. Tonight, wind chills could be as low as -50F in some areas. Up to six inches of snow, and winds up to 50MPH.

    This is potentially deadly weather, so if you're in an affected area, make sure you have food, fuel, water, blankets, warm clothing, and then stay inside with your heater running.

    #NOAA / #NWS has been alerting about this for a few days to encourage people to prepare.

    Today, #GS3 (age 3.5) came running in to wake me up and to ask if he could go with me on the plane to California.

    This has been a tremendous trip. It turned out to be nothing like the early plans (eleven weeks in SW #MO instead of two weeks in #SW_MO plus 1 week each in #KCMO and #Omaha #NE), but this has been a needed bonding time with the youngest set of grandkids.

    I did talk to #Daddy_A and Mike/Ami/Jade tonight and informed them that severe weather is heading their way. These were regularly scheduled calls, but I was able to talk about the weather (and about the Brooklyn subway shooting).

    Colby is also in that area, but I do not have a regularly scheduled call with him.

    Omaha #NE -- city declares apartment building unlivable, evicting tenants

    What ever happened to keeping the landlord in the city jail until the property is repaired? Or at least helping the tenants get housing before shutting the building completely down?

    Winter weather, Winter storm, and wind chill alerts for parts of #NE, #KS, #MO, #IL, #IA. The alerts I received go right up to the state borders of #OK and #AR, so I expect there are other alerts valid for those areas.

    Includes snow, mixed precipitation, wind, ice, extreme cold (-30F / -34C in central Nebraska), with extreme wind chills being mostly across the Northern part of the area. #NOAA / #NWS has sent at least 20 alerts since 04:00 Eastern (03:00 Central). Weather begins this afternoon / evening and continues through Saturday, possibly into Sunday in some areas.

    If you're in the middle of the US, take proper care. This weather can kill, either directly or by causing traffic collisions.

    #NOAA / #NWS alerting for Winter storm, extreme cold in #NE and #IA. Up to 5 inches of snow could accumulate. Wind chills could be as low as -20F. Tomorrow evening through Saturday evening, with Eastern areas getting it later than Western areas.

    I have not been to either place in Winter, so that may turn out to be picnic weather. But if the Weather Service sends alerts, it probably means what it says.

    Looking at the #NOAA satellite view. There's a line of storms shooting from the SE corner of Nebraska, across the bottom of Iowa and top of Missouri, broadening out in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and starting to enter parts of Pennsylvania and New York. If you're in any of those areas, prepare for what looks like a pretty strong bunch of #t-storms.

    When I worked in Nebraska, for some reason, all the hotels were full when I arrived. Except one, a run down and smelly mess across the street from https://corrections.nebraska.gov/facilities/nebraska-state-penitentiary

    (Which I did not know until I was already there and checked in.) Once other places were no longer full, I quickly moved.

    1. Nebraska State Penitentiary | NDCS - Nebraska Department of Correctional Services
      About the Facility The Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP) located in Lincoln, Nebraska is the oldest state correctional facility in Nebraska, opening in 1869. Until after World War I, it was the only adult correctional facility in the state. During 1980-1981, the existing cellblocks constructed during the second half of the 19th century were replaced by four (later five)

    #Daddy_A was talking about the #snow in #NE and he said that some spots were deeper than he is tall. I suspect he's talking about piles where snowplows and similar equipment cleared off an area and piled the removed snow in one spot.

    He also said it is very cold, even for a "frozen northland" state.
