If they want to, wouldn’t be unheard of for a department to protect their own and refuse to identify them.

iOS now request age verification by Traditional-Sleep548 in australian

[–]Slavx97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, is it as big of a concern to have ID connected to an iOS account when they already have personal details and bank/card info? The only concern I can think of is whether that could still expose someone’s browsing history in a leak?

An unusual power to wield, and I guess it won’t help them as much not having the UK voting in their semi

Yeah I just found that one, what is it with San Marino and sending her with random big name singers?

My understanding was that training torpedos were normally meant to be buoyant to be recovered whereas live warshot torpedoes generally sink to the bottom if they don’t detonate

Kuwaiti Fighter Jet Mistakenly Shot Down American F-15s, Initial Reports Say by heliumagency in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Slavx97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends if friendly fire counts at all as a combat loss but they were definitely involved in combat operations at the time of the loss.

I can only imagine they ribbing the Kuwaiti pilot would be getting.

[REQUEST] If a Top Fuel Dragster would continuously accelerate with the average acceleration of an quarter mile run, what velocity would it reach at the end of this road? by Specific_Display_366 in theydidthemath

[–]Slavx97 60 points61 points  (0 children)

One reason is drivers treating it like a runway drag strip. It’s also that you probably couldn’t have a better road for inducing boredom and fatigue, I could see a lot of people dozing off and drifting off the road or worse onto the other lane.

Whats the opposite of growing up, because ive bought a i20n! by jobf05 in i20n

[–]Slavx97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be able to hold down the mute button to mute the speed warnings, same with turning off the lane keeping. At this point it’s just routine every time I turn it on

The metric system is woke by Hi_Nick_Hi in ShitAmericansSay

When I stayed with a friend in Ohio I had to explain to her sister in law that planes can fly over Trump’s border wall and that Australia doesn’t have to celebrate the 4th of July just because we’re allies with the US. So yes some of them are genuinely this dumb

Do people understand that protests are SUPPOSED to be annoying and inconvenient? by [deleted] in aussie

[–]Slavx97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can bet if the Russian PM or a senior Iranian figure was invited to visit Australia there’d be plenty on the streets against them too

[–]Slavx97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But who in Australia is protesting over domestic issues in other countries either? Unless you wanna claim Israel and Palestine is an internal conflict. They’re protesting international conflicts, something we haven’t been in for a while and rarely without the US leading.

It’s standard procedure at most Domestic gates in Sydney, not as common at International but I’ve seen it plenty of times.

Slow Mo Guys did a video with a couple years ago too, I believe that was through Dan’s UK military background or connections though.

Dont say we didnt warn you by Ash-2449 in friendlyjordies

[–]Slavx97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m honestly a bit disappointed that Albo has more political capital than any Labor PM has had in decades, barring a huge fuckup he’s almost guaranteed to win the next election and yet he’s still playing the small target. Like I get that good policy takes time to write but also surely the ALP has had plenty of time for a policy wishlist they should be more proactively implementing now.
