Howdy Stackers
Welcome to the ninth edition of The Daily Zap — A Daily Newspaper (Kind of 🙏). Here, you'll get links to all of the latest news and updates mostly from the last 24 hours, divided in Sections (much similar to pages on a newspaper).
Let's unfold!

~Bitcoin News of the Day

  • The coins were originally mined in January 2009, just months after Bitcoin's launch, and have lain dormant since. Arkham blockchain analysis shows the wallets are not linked to Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Global Trade & ~Econ

  • The loan was announced by Ursula von der Leyen on Friday during her visit to Kyiv. "Relentless Russian attacks means Ukraine needs continued EU support," the European Commission president said. "This is another major EU contribution to the Ukraine’'s recovery."

~Politics_and_Law

  • Local election offices in Minnesota and Virginia opened their doors Friday morning for in-person early voting, the first in the nation to do so. South Dakota also allows absentee voting to be done in person, and absentee ballots became available Friday.

~Stacker_Sports News

  • The Cleveland Browns are 1-1 with a precarious quarterback situation but still rank at the top of the NFL in one category: analytics. That's according to an ESPN poll of analytics staffers around the league.

~Tech & ~Science

  • To cause damage on the scale that they did, it is probable they were rigged with explosives before they entered Hezbollah’s possession, experts say. Images of the broken remains of the pagers show the logo of a small Taiwanese electronics manufacturer: Gold Apollo.

~History with Mystery

  • Some presidential elections have been decided by just a few thousand votes—or even a few hundred.Thanks to the nature of the electoral college, not all of those votes are created equal. It’s possible for a candidate to receive more popular votes than their opponent, but still lose the election (it’s happened five times).

~Entertainment World

  • MrBeast (real name: Jimmy Donaldson) was recently hit with a proposed class-action lawsuit regarding his reality competition series. Multiple contestants are suing the YouTube creator’s production company and Amazon over several accusations. Some of the allegations include perpetuating an unsafe workplace and sexual harassment.

An Appeal to Stackers

Currently, this post is under construction (experiment) or under trial until I get a final design or layout and fix some phrases. I intend to give it a finality within 1 or 2 days. For the things that I think are just good enough and can be better are:
  • How do you like this new title?
  • Some headings are attractive and some are just good enough.
  • Need a better intro (may be), a little shorter. What do you say?
Kindly suggest me how can we make it better. Please guide me to improve on title, subtitles, design or anything.
Thanks for reading 🙏
Both the electoral college and Mr. Beast have felt off to me since I learned about them. That smile is creepy as hell.

Same here. I never liked both. Mr. Beast because he's not doing everything as charity but shows he does.
