@mcrawford_trep@paulportesi@SwordGRC Ok, so, if you read carefully, I wrote “threats AND opportunities”, not “threats OR opportunities”. The ISO standard definition for risks actually uses “and/or”, but I tend to use only “and” because a lot of people find “or” more natural, and I feel the other way around.
@mcrawford_trep@paulportesi@SwordGRC I was classically educated, first and foremost by my dad, who tried to make a proper Spartan of me, not very successfully I am afraid, then by my high school teachers. I grokked risk when I matched it with Ianus, the God we honour, perhaps unwittingly those days, in January.

Che @lofioramonti, Romano eletto per il M5S a Roma, se ne strafotta della sopravvivenza di piccoli aeroporti come Birgi, Crotone o Trieste, è anche comprensibile. 1\8
Un po’ meno che non lo zittiscano i suoi tanti colleghi eletti per il M5S in comunità che verrebbero violentemente penalizzate dalla tassa di scopo sugli aerei. 2/8
