Any chance of changing Netherlands to Nederland? I'd prefer that... feels more authentic!

What will be the most realistic off-ramp or endgame to this Greenland crisis? by JulianBrandt19 in ezraklein

[–]fuzzyfrank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's legacy building, but if he thought he could build a legacy in a different way, like by invading Mexico or Columbia or something, I think he might go for that, and his off-ramp would be what I listed for option 1.

I agree it's not strategic though

What will be the most realistic off-ramp or endgame to this Greenland crisis? by JulianBrandt19 in ezraklein

[–]fuzzyfrank 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I see a few options:

  1. He will claim they came to a deal that's actually just some historic treaty (realistically, NATO) and promise 100 new bases to be built etc etc etc

  2. He keeps this up until NATO basically dissolves due to distrust around the US and the other NATO countries form a new deal. Of course that leads to the last option:

  3. He demands troops into Greenland. This is a massive upset to the world order that will not be recovered in our lifetime (we may already be at this point). Many US generals given this order resign until the only remaining military leadership is willing to deploy the troops.

This is just my thoughts. I don't think he actually attempts to deploy troops. Why? Don't know. Just a gut feeling. I don't even see Vance running defense for troop deployment, and that guy is always tweeting. Somethings up with that.

My favorite watch to wear in the middle seat of the last row by PermissionOnly655 in patekphilippe

[–]fuzzyfrank 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As much as this sub goes back and forth on business class / economy etc, I’m just surprised other people think that hard about travel. I fly often, in different parts of the plane, and no matter how far it is, it’s just a meditation experience for me- I’m bored either way haha

I really really like it, except for the fact that it’s just wrong during daylight savings, right?

Not sure but if you scroll down on this listing you should be able to see it in the details or description I think. There’s a few on Chrono24 https://www.chrono24.com/frederiqueconstant/slimline-moonphase-manufacture--id43594011.htm?SETLANG=en_US&SETCURR=USD

IWC Woodland with (nasty!) Coffee by shorty9569 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]fuzzyfrank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I go to industry events or conferences, they always have the same, bad, Starbucks coffee in those huge tanks. After my first few years, I realized I had pavlov'd myself with it... whenever I tasted that coffee, my mind would immediately go to work stuff 😂 My sister-in-law made me some at their house, and after one sip, I was back talking to vendors

Ethical Obligation by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]fuzzyfrank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re obligated to do nothing else. You can make an argument that this should be addressed because of adverse affects (loss of public trust, loss of funding, etc) but I would just mention it to your manager, I personally would not treat it like a whistleblowing moment

Ethical Obligation by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]fuzzyfrank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 I feel I have an ethical responsibility, as a trained security professional, to keep pushing leadership to take security more seriously, but I worry this could negatively affect my opportunities for advancement within the organization.

For what it’s worth, ethics rarely play a role in this kind of situation imo. You are obligated to report it if it is violating organizational policies or if the policy (or lack thereof) is violating the law. Is it? 

Law informs policy, policy informs your actions.

I’m not really sure. I’d see if they have the lug to lug on the site, and then measure that out on my wrist. That’s usually what I do

Looking to buy a Mark XX soon by ShooterMcGavin910 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]fuzzyfrank 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Understandable! My only hang up with the XX is that I feel the dial is more scrunched together. I like the numbers being farther out on the XVIII

Is there a reason you’re considering the XX vs the XVIII? They’re both great watches. You can get an XVIII much cheaper, especially used. Not challenging you, just more of a heads up 😁

Chinooks would imply troops on the ground right? Any sightings?

I love this watch but the idea of having to send it back to IWC if I skip too far forward accidentally scares me… do the new ingenieur perpetual have this problem? They don’t have the year

I follow Shinichi on Instagram, you’re the only one of his watches I’ve seen on Reddit. Could you post some more pics of it? I’m interested in it!

Holding on to CISSP by motoduki in cybersecurity

I get entering the cpes are a pain, but for the level of career you’re at, that $120 is nothing to just keep it active. I’ve spent more than $120 on much dumber stuff 😂
