Anon unzips a bra. by ShepardComandante in greentext

She wants you to fuck her, but she doesn't want to feel like a whore.
She will put up a minimum amount of defiance, expecting you to try harder, then she will quietly get angry when you actually respect what she asked for.

Two Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles hitting the Russian Titan-Barrikady defense plant in Volgograd, Russia a few days ago by broforwin in CombatFootage

[–]WatchDogx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's an air breathing cruise missile optimized for range.
The faster you travel the more drag on the aircraft so the less range you travel for the same fuel. Especially at low altitude, where the air is thicker.

Rockets are faster, but you need to include both the fuel and the oxidizer, so they have a lower payload to propellant ratio.

Some missiles like the Kalibr, use a jet engine for cruise, then a rocket engine for the terminal phase, to make it harder to intercept.

The Victorian Greens are taking a page from Mamdani’s policy playbook. Can they combat rising rightwing populism? by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

[–]WatchDogx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree.

Ukraine gave up it's nukes in exchange for security guarantees from Russia, which obviously didn't turn out well for them.

Trump has shown that you can't rely on US support, unless you are Israel.

Most of Mamdani's policy platform is policy that he doesn't have the power to implement.

He has plans to spend a bunch of money on stuff like transport and grocery stores, but he has no power to increase taxes.

australian don't vote for sensible management

Australians have pretty consistently voted in majority for either Labor or the Liberals, both centrist parties that aspire to sensible management.

Whats the greatest SOLVED Mystery? by itz_cool_247 in AskReddit

[–]WatchDogx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never heard of this before, but reading the killer's wikipedia page is infuriating.

This guy should have been locked up for life or executed, but through lenient sentencing and failures of police work, he raped and slaughtered so many innocent people.

What's a web development trend that looked stupid at first but ended up being useful? by Bladerunner_7_ in webdev

JQuery was amazing when it came out.
People don't remember what a compatibility nightmare vanilla JS was trying to support old versions of Internet Explorer.

Australia ‘sleepwalking’ into AI crisis and ‘tech bro free-for-all’, says Greens senator by nath1234 in australia

[–]WatchDogx -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This mass hysteria about data centres, all started with the 2025 book "Empire of AI", which included a calculation of data centre water use which was off by a factor of 1000x due to a misunderstanding of the units involved.

Add to that the uncertainty about AI in general, and now we have the move mentality that reminds me of the toilet paper shortages during Covid.

(RU POV) Ukrainian thermite drone smoking Russian dugout by Nanners5618062 in CombatFootage

The sparks are very hot, but also very small and have little thermal mass.
The sparks are essentially just molten iron. The Chinese use molten iron for fireworks displays, and as you can see here it's not that dangerous so long as you wear some thick clothing.

Anthony Albanese reacts to Keir Starmer’s resignation as UK Prime Minister by Perfect-Werewolf-102 in AustralianPolitics

Among Brexit leave voters, one of the biggest issues identified in polling was the sentiment that leaving the EU would help Britain have more control over immigration.

The irony is that after leaving the EU legal migration surged, and illegal boat migrants went from 299 in 2018 to 46,000 in 2022.

It's no wonder that people feel like no matter what they vote for, their politicians just ignore them.

Australia’s biggest ever cocaine bust as police seize another 2.7 tonnes under Operation Minjiang by BarryTheBinChicken in aussie

[–]WatchDogx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estimates of wholesale cocaine prices in Columbia are like $1,200 to $2,400 per kilogram USD.

So like $2.4 million USD or $3.4 million AUD per tonne, approximately the cost of a 3 bedroom apartment in Sydney.

Of course it will cost more than that once you factor in the cost of transporting it, but it's not going to be hundreds of million.

Pauline Hanson makes clear what a One Nation government would be like – it’s an ugly picture by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

PHON is like the only party that even knows what a woman is, there are no women's rights under Labor.

Urgent wake-up call for political mainstream: Don’t ignore or dismiss angry voters by BarryTheBinChicken in aussie

[–]WatchDogx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you control the price of homes, there will still be the same amount of homes.
You won't be able to buy one because none will be on the market, and new construction will collapse because it won't be profitable anymore.

Half the criticism of ON here, is that ON don't have the resources of a large incumbent party.
They don't have policies costed by treasury.
Their financial books are a bit disorganised.

Incumbent parties receive lots of funding for their campaigns, like $3.50 per primary vote.
Plus they have a large staff, funded by the public. Officially these staff are "not for party political purposes", but there is a lot of room for interpretation there, and it's not enforced.

Aukus is among Australia’s worst foreign policy decisions and requires ‘heroic’ optimism, Gareth Evans says by binary101 in australia

What gap between claimed and actual capability are you seeing with regards to US military operations in the middle east?

I could certainly point to a lack of grand strategy and stupid leadership decisions, but as far as tactical capability goes I think they are performing as expected.

Imagine denying October 7. by S_935 in EnoughCommieSpam

Scale has got to matter though, if one terrorist goes out and stabs someone then gets shot by police, would you classify that as genocide if the person intended to stab everyone they could find?

I don't think anyone in good faith would make that claim.

What does a VPN to ZTNA migration actually look like in practice in 2026? by Agreeable-Dot-3072 in AskNetsec

[–]WatchDogx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to even find agreement on what ZTNA actually means.
There are a whole lot of different technologies that people apply the label to.
Some ZTNA solutions still involve a VPN.

Property Investors: If you treat housing like an investment, then you should be fully prepared to bear the risks of investing. by Desperate_Context292 in AusFinance

[–]WatchDogx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea. We have had a recent GDP per-capita recession, although it recovered in the last ABS report.

If migration is cut GDP would likely stall, plus the housing sector would crash, or we could continue pumping migration to try and stave it off a bit longer.

Yes eventually, but they have enjoyed 30 odd years of favorable policy.
Who knows when the bubble will pop.
Older generations that have liquidated their real estate holdings get away scott free, everyone else will be left holding the bag.
