Key points:

Project Iceworm proceeded without full disclosure to Danish authorities

The secrecy surrounding Project Iceworm stemmed from Denmark's longstanding policy prohibiting nuclear weapons on its territory, including Greenland, which necessitated concealing the missile network plans from Danish authorities

Operationally, the project's secrecy—bypassing full disclosure to Danish authorities despite Greenland's status under Danish sovereignty—revealed vulnerabilities in multinational basing agreements, as potential leaks or discoveries could provoke diplomatic crises and alienate allies during escalation.

the episode contributed to heightened Greenlandic autonomy demands, culminating in partial self-rule in 1979 and ongoing frictions over U.S. basing rights.

Also notable the base was powered by an SMR cc @BlokchainB

All Kalshi has to do is pay tribute to the state patronage network, must have inexperienced counsel who thought the law mattered

Their scale could never move the needle even if they tried, we're not talking a few radar or ground stations... They don't even have submarines

Misleading headline, they bury the truth mostly at the end

deposit dollarization — where a significant portion of a country’s bank deposits are denominated in the U.S. dollar instead of the local currency — is still evident

According to J.P. Morgan Research, dollar deposits have grown mostly uninterrupted over the last decade ... all regions are more dollarized now than they were a decade ago

Dollar milkshake is happening, it's the final boss fiat.

China is the exception

Notably who the dollar is being weaponized against

So where are the FX reserves moving?

growing demand for gold

Now where is the gold overwhelmingly domiciled? the US.

Yea there's no way thee US is going to allow anything that risks the Navy/AF losing control of DG, everyone knows that and has for decades, so the question is what is this pony show really about?

Missing Australia

Are you coming to the dark side?

Money and contracting in a COIN environment

must be fake

Welcome to the great awakening

I believe so, but I doubt it's more than a nominal return... Probably would have been better compounding in a money market... Plots don't benefit from mortgage inflation

Funny I was just talking with my dad over Christmas and he brought their 5 plots up he's had for like 20 years... In a town neither my sibling or I live within hours of... nor could we use to plan given family sizes...

The distress when I told him to sell them 😂

Fiat is one hell of a drug

$48,000

Sweet Jesus, for that could get an acre or two and have a family camp with it's own cemetery

Brave falls in the camp of privacy LARP, and is still adware with a dubious sustainability model... and a shitcoin

There are really no great browser options, but ungoogled chromium is the closest in terms of active maintenance and compatibility https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

Floorp has potential, but firefox derivatives seem to be losing the compatibility battle https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp

Zen is another https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop

GNU IceCat was a nice option, but the maintainer seems to be dropping off

GNOME has Epiphany, which is based on WebKit (Safari)

dunno how i fucked that math up

Software is easy, wipe drive and just run Linux... isolate slop like zoom and chrome/brave from your user space

Nothing can be done about hardware, any Intel, AMD, or ARM chip is compromised at the motherboard level by the NSA (GCHQ partner)

Hardware wallets all use closed chips too, theater, and targeted customer lists.

All you can do is not be a state level adversary that warrants their attention, or run Chinese RISC hardware and trade the NSA for the 3PLA

Definitely promising, I'm sure Tom is yelling at a screen somewhere about protecting the ball though

Retvrn to tradition

That's why I was hoping for more snow, favors offense
