Because it was revealed that an actual TLS certificate used the number 4 as a private key.

Incel shit.
- Comment on Why don't communities build massive gardens for food? That way it would undercut the price of big retail stores. 4 days ago:
Well, who’s gonna care for and harvest all the food?
There is no point in undercutting retail prices when it means I have to work more.

Personally I think it’s quite stupid, but let nerds be nerds.

But you can also dismantle them with explosives.
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
That is true for basic jet engine, but most modern high-bypass engines are basically fans powered by a jet engine. The air moved by the outer blades provides up to 10x the thrust of the hot air exiting the core.
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
Not all air is contained on the boat, it is pushed away from the boat by the sail. Since that air has mass it will produce and equal force pushing on the sail, aka trust.
Trust reverses are fans mounted on the plane pushing against the plane and they work just fine.
A sail is just a very inefficient deflector of air, but the principle is the same.

But it does.
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
No, it’s not completely ineffective, just very ineffective.
If you blow enough air a sufficient sturdy sail you can absolutely generate trust from the airflow the sail deflects.
But you’ll be more efficient if you remove the sail and just point the fan in the other direction.
You’d be even more efficient if you put the fan under the boat and push the water instead of the air.

The great thing about air boats is they don’t need sails.
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
Well yeah, because the sail is not needed at all, you just need the fan.
A jet engine is just a very powerful fan anyway, so nothing else is needed.
The sail would just be a very inefficient reverser.

That’s pretty much exactly how a propeller works …
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
And both work, the sail is just a very inefficient trust reverser so you hardly get any thrust from it. Just remove the sail and use the fan directly.
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
A fan on a sailboat totally works you just have to aim it airflow behind the boat and not at the sail.

You really shouldn’t give your pets drugs.
- Comment on If the legalization of drugs reduces crime, why can't the same be said about the legalization of guns? 1 week ago:
I think you’re missing the point. Guns primary purpose is to inflict harm. Drugs primary purpose is fun, the harm is a side effect.
- Comment on If the legalization of drugs reduces crime, why can't the same be said about the legalization of guns? 1 week ago:
Guns are also pretty popular for suicide when available.
